January & February 2026: Release Notes
In the first update for 2026, we’re pleased to share a comprehensive set of enhancements across Fatigue360, the Fatigue360 Workforce App, MacRail System, MacRail Worksite App, and Worksite360. These updates focus on smarter workforce coordination, stronger compliance visibility, improved reporting, and meaningful performance gains across the entire platform.
Platform-Wide Improvements (All Products)
Performance & Reliability Enhancements
We have implemented several foundational improvements that benefit all products across the platform:
- Improved reliability of interactions with our external caching service, reducing the likelihood of read/write interruptions affecting user or system actions.
- Additional database indexing to improve login speed and all processes involving User account searches.
These updates collectively improve responsiveness, stability, and overall system efficiency.
Fatigue360
Shift Request System
A powerful new Shift Request capability has been introduced to streamline the process of filling vacant shifts. When selecting an empty shift, users can now send a targeted request directly from the sidebar to:
- Specific named individuals
- A defined team
- Personnel working for a selected supplier
- Individuals holding a required competency
Recipients are notified via the Fatigue360 Workforce App or email and can accept or decline the request. The shift is automatically allocated to the first person who accepts, removing manual coordination and accelerating fulfilment.
Performance Improvements
- Enhanced performance when validating multiple permissions within a single process.
- Improved calculation speed of shift issue statuses, particularly noticeable for Events spanning multiple months.
- Client-side performance improvements when loading large datasets via importers.
Shift & Planning Enhancements
- Working from Home Option: Planned shifts can now be marked as Working from Home, automatically setting travel time to zero.
- Contracted Weekly Hours: Staff records now support contracted weekly hours, feeding directly into the Primary Staff in Need of Hours dashboard widget.
- Supplier Shift Deletion Warning: When deleting a Supplier shift, users now receive a clear warning that this action will mark the shift as Cancelled within the Supplier environment.

When creating Accommodation records for a longer period of time (e.g., each week a person will stay in accommodation) this can be done in one go, creating multiple records for each week when selecting the option to 'exclude weekends'.
