The crackers have been pulled, the Quality Street tin is down to the toffees, and East Yorkshire is basking in that odd, quiet glow between Christmas and New Year 🎄✨ While you’ve been recharging (or politely pretending to like socks), we’ve been pushing out a few tidy little updates to round off the year. Here’s what’s new:

📦 PTS Courier – Now Fully Integrated
Say hello to our newest courier friend: PTS. The integration is complete and ready to go, giving you another delivery option right out of the box.

🔗 Parcel2Go – Live and Kicking
We’ve updated the Parcel2Go integration to point to the live API URL. All systems go — and no more staging mix-ups.

🎯 Tracking Status Fixes – Mapped and Accurate
We corrected the status on a few shipments that were being a bit too creative with their mappings. Your tracking updates are now much more on point.

🧵 UTF-8 Error – Sorted
An encoding gremlin was causing issues when importing DPD tracking events from FTP. We’ve shown it the door — clean data all the way through now.

⚡ Query Optimisation – From 40s to a Few
We cleaned up some slow-running queries (2,000 of them!) that were taking over 40 seconds to execute. Now they’re running in just a few seconds. Your system just got a serious speed boost.

🧱 Laravel Upgrade – A Smoother Framework
We’ve updated Laravel to the latest version. That means better performance, increased security, and a more stable platform all round.

📉 Disk Space Slim-Down – Less Bloat, Same Power
By merging similar indexings, we’ve drastically reduced disk space usage while keeping everything working just as it should. Sleeker, faster, cleaner.

And that’s a wrap on 2024 🎁
Thanks for shipping with us this year — whether you joined recently or have been with us from the start. We’re taking this momentum into 2025 with even bigger updates ahead. Until then: stay merry, stay warm, and maybe don’t eat all the leftovers in one go 🥧.
