v4.12 release notes

Improved UI

We've made a number of UI improvements throughout PreBilt for EWM.

• New icons & PWA icons: An upgrade to Font Awesome in addition to new Progressive Web App (PWA) icons for a fresh look.

• Faster carousel: Experience quicker load times, optimised focus, and the new option to suppress the carousel for a cleaner interface.

• Personalised fonts and display settings: Tailor your experience with profile-specific font styles and sizes, making the app feel just right for you.

Voice integration

Added support for Lydia Voice functionality to PreBilt for EWM to bring voice-directed workflows to warehouse operations - boosting efficiency, accuracy, and ergonomics. With hands-free operation, Lydia Voice lets warehouse staff work without handhelds or paper lists. It streamlines common tasks while helping reduce errors and the time needed for training. The result is a smarter, safer, and more productive warehouse environment that makes full use of PreBilt for EWM’s capabilities.
