Then, ‘Subscriptions’ card never loads, just spins forever

Remote access experience

Issue: The time duration from ‘when a device gets online in the field’ to ‘when the device turns green in WorksManger in office’ had been relatively high in the past.

Enhancement: We have been working with our remote partner on this performance concern recently. The enhancement is complete, and pushed to the WorksManager product. Users can notice that the remote access delay has been considerably reduced to an acceptable time range now.

Product reliability

Issue: There had been a few reliability issues with WorksManager/ TCC in the recent past, with specific modules being unavailable or don’t work properly

Enhancement: The Engineering team has worked on specific initiatives to maintain/ improve the quality of the product, monitor important workflows in the product and take proactive measures if any failure. This should help improve the overall reliability of the system. We are fully committed to the reliability of the product, and would continually invest to keep it as stable as possible.
