☁️ Voila Update – 10 January 2025

It’s that odd time of year where Christmas is a memory, your resolutions are hanging by a thread, and the East Yorkshire skies are 50 shades of grey. But while the weather’s uninspired, this week’s tracking updates definitely aren’t. Let’s dive in 📦👇


📬 Delivered Dates for Virtual Couriers – Now Auto-Filled
No more blank fields! When a shipment delivered via a real courier is linked to a virtual one, we’ll now automatically fill in the “Delivered At” date. Less manual work, more accurate timelines.


🧹 Optimised Delete Jobs – Bulked Up for Better Performance
We’ve supercharged our delete jobs to run in batches of 1,000. That means smoother performance and no risk of the system getting bogged down — even when you’re doing some serious tidying.


🔗 Event Mapping – Marked and Mapped
The Is_Mapped field now correctly shows True for all events that are successfully mapped. A small change, but a helpful one for anyone monitoring event data integrity.


📦 Improved Archiving – Smarter, Sharper, Cleaner
We’ve sharpened up the archiving rules:

  • Shipments with no tracking info? Archived after 30 days.

  • Unsupported couriers? Also archived — regardless of delivery status.

Cleaner databases = happier systems.


That’s your January jumpstart 🔋
We’re starting the year by trimming the fat and making space for smarter workflows. More automation, less admin. Same goal: making shipping and tracking just… work. Catch you next week — and maybe bring a brolly ☔.
