A roundup of the latest enhancements to XER Schedule Toolkit
Continuous improvement sits at the heart of XER Schedule Toolkit.
Rather than waiting for one major annual release, we continually invest in improving the platform through regular feature updates, usability enhancements, performance improvements and customer-driven development.
Across Versions 1.7, 1.8 and 1.9, we’ve delivered dozens of improvements designed to make XER easier to use, faster, more reliable and better suited to organisations of every size.
Some of these updates introduce new functionality you’ll notice immediately. Others have happened behind the scenes to improve performance, scalability and the overall user experience.
Here’s a summary of what’s changed.
Release 1.7
Simplifying subscription management
Version 1.7 marked the beginning of a significant overhaul to how customers purchase and manage their subscriptions.
By replacing our previous payment process with a fully integrated HubSpot-powered solution, we’ve made it easier than ever to purchase, manage and maintain your XER subscription without leaving the application.
We also introduced a new notification centre, improved payment validation and continued refining project sharing and enterprise user management.

Building on the foundations laid in Version 1.7, Release 1.8 focused on giving users more control over their own accounts and subscriptions.
A brand-new My Account experience makes managing your subscription simpler, while Enterprise administrators now have greater flexibility when managing users.
Alongside these visible improvements, we continued strengthening subscription reliability and refining the overall customer experience.

Release 1.9
Faster, smarter and ready for international growth
Our latest release continues to improve the experience for both individual users and Enterprise customers.
Performance improvements now make large project portfolios significantly quicker to load and navigate, while multiple currency support begins reducing barriers for our growing international customer base.
We’ve also continued refining licence administration and strengthened the integration between XER Toolkit and HubSpot.

More than just new features

While many of these improvements happen behind the scenes, together they help ensure XER continues to scale alongside our customers while providing a faster, more reliable experience every day.
