Features in Re-flow’s Big Autumn Update
Re-flow offered free one-to-one health checks at the show and found our clients keen to discover the many improvements to the software in the latest Big Autumn Update

Part of a whole host of upgrades that make the software – available on Android and IOS, offline and online – lightning fast and more responsive.
Looking closer at common hesitations around digital transformation
For the show, Ashley Wing, Re-flow’s CMO, collaborated with Jointline’s head of QSHE, Julie Davidson. Julie Davidson described the many different areas where the company use Re-flow’s field management software, and also the nature of their digital transformation – from when they started to their experiences in the present. The talk, The challenges of digitally transforming field operations, took place on Wednesday 16th October.
Digital transformation isn’t just about moving from paper to digital. It often involves shifting from a static, or underperforming system, to a more suitable solution that’s intuitive and flexible.
Four key barriers and their solutions are as follows:
- Uncertainty of Outcomes: Solvable by having a project manager and an experienced support team in order to map the process and to set clear milestones, enabling companies to visualise the entire transformation process. Re-flow have found that a clear vision helps build confidence.
- Disruption of Operations: Professional services and support can bring disruption to a minimum. Teams will be free to carry out the usual duties while the digital solution slots into place at incremental stages.
- Fear of Migrating Data: Moving data from one system to another can be daunting. Having dedicated teams from the field-management provider that handle data migration makes the process smooth and straightforward.
- Learning Curve: Having an intuitive and streamlined system from the field-management provider is key for adoption. Operatives require minimal training, with the focus instead landing on admin users. Having a comprehensive onboarding process, with personal development days, learning tools, and on-site training, ensures the teams are fully up to speed.
Julie shared Jointline’s journey over the last three years, highlighting what triggered their change and how Re-flow supported them along the way. This talk reinforced Re-flow’s work ethos: listen to the industry, collaborate closely with clients, and build solutions that help businesses thrive. It’s how to ensure the software works well for everyone, from operatives to admin.
“We knew Re-flow was intuitive,” Julie said. “We’d had really good uptake from our site staff on their near miss side that we were using. As it’s an app, operatives are very familiar with the format.”
