For anyone who spends time getting work done alongside others, Tracker Suite 7.2 will be a welcome enhancement."

  • Improved Navigation- Tracker Suite’s user interface requires less clicks to navigate;
  • Database Folders- Timesheets, project files and other documents can be easily organized with drag-and-drop convenience;
  • New Workflow Engine- Automatically reroutes approval requests if someone is out of the office;
  • Outward Collaboration- Via a centralized email repository, internal and external users can easily store, share, and retrieve email threads and other eDiscussions relating to project issues, trouble tickets, sales calls and much more.

Other new features and tools bring greater productivity to individual applications. In Personnel Tracker, for example, HR personnel can manage holidays and vacations by department using an upgraded calendar, and introduces application management system that organizes large numbers of employee applications with ease.

Support Tracker, Tracker Suite's help desk application, now offers better Service Level Agreement (SLA) tracking through a ticket dashboard that follows trouble tickets and their current status.
