🔧 Prepare Caflou for your colleagues based on their needs

With new personalization templates you can pre-customize Caflou for users in your account to give them the best experience right from the start.

📝 Send contracts for electronic signature directly from Caflou

🔥 As part of contract management you can now send contracts for digital signature to partners, customers, employees or suppliers directly from Caflou.

📜 Manage your contracts in Caflou

Now you can manage your contracts, both issued by you or received from other companies, in Caflou. Contracts can be created, exported and shared directly in Caflou. You can now have all documents in one place for each customer and project - offers, orders, invoices and now even contracts.

️🛒 Integrate CAFLOU and WooCommerce

Now you can automatically import data from your WooCommerce store into Caflou. Orders are imported as income in Cashflow.

⏪⏩ Custom column order and width in overviews

Each user can reorder the columns in any overview (tasks, invoices, timesheets, etc.) as he or she really needs. In addition, the user can determine the width of each column, so no more overflowing columns with unnecessarily high rows.

🔐 Require two-step authentication from users

Security above all. Account administrators can now require 2-step authentication from their account users to access their account. If the user does not have this enhanced security enabled for their profile, they will be prompted to turn on 2-step authentication when accessing such an account.

🌍 Connecting banks from all over Europe for matching invoices and cash flow with payments

Online connections to bank accounts from all over Europe can now be used to match invoices or cash flow items with payments in your bank account. 2459 banks from 28 European countries can now be connected with CAFLOU.

💳 Have your invoices paid by payment card

Allow your customers to pay your invoices by so-called online payment, eg by credit card. This will speed up the flow of money into your cash flow and give customers the option they often prefer.

📧 Share invoices or offers more "colorfully"

If you share documents (invoices, offers etc.) via e-mail directly from CAFLOU, you can now format the texts, use links or insert your logo.

🔎 Check on your business partners around the world with new financial reports

Make sure your customers or suppliers are economically credible, that they have good payment morale, that there is no risk of default. This is thanks to the new Financial data and scoring overview, which you will find in the Company health. Financial reports are available for companies around the world.

🔥 Itemized budgets in projects

You can now create itemized budgets in projects. From such a budget, you can then create offers, invoices or tasks in a given project. You can also export budgets and send them to clients.

🔧 New personalization options for users and user administrators

• Hide tabs / features that you will not use in CAFLOU.
• Hide tabs / features for new account users that they will not use or generally your company does not use in CAFLOU.
• Personalize the application for the users of your account.

🔗 Integrate FreshBooks with CAFLOU for better cashflow management

Now you can import automatically your clients and vendors, invoices and bills into Cashflow in CAFLOU. You can also export data from CAFLOU to FreshBooks.

📝 Custom notes in the Cashflow graph

Make notes in the Cashflow graph, e.g. why the graph is developing one way or another, why there are more expenses in the given period, etc.

🟨🟩🟧 New WBS with unlimited levels

Project Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is now in CAFLOU without limiting the number of levels. Create and visualize the project structure as you really need it.

📧 Synchronize your e-mail communication with the client automatically into CAFLOU

E-mails from clients whose companies and contacts you register in CAFLOU are recorded into their companies as comments when synchronization is enabled, including attachments. You can also automatically record messages from you to clients if you choose this option. You can then easily create a new task or project from such a message (comment).

🔗 Share projects and tasks externally, to non-CAFLOU users

If you need to share data from a project or task to non-CAFLOU users (e.g. timesheets, invoices, tasks overview, comments, etc.), for example to clients, you can now securely share selected data using the "Share" feature available for tasks and projects.

📦📦 Improved work with templates and duplication of projects

1. If you create projects, tasks or invoices from templates, you can now create a new object more easily via the new "Load from template" feature.
2. When creating projects from a template or when duplicating a project, the dates of tasks, to dos and income/expenses are automatically shifted, together with the shift of the beginning of the project.

💬 New Team messages on the Dashboard

A new module for "Team Messages" is available on the Dashboard. It may be more suitable for larger teams and can serve, for example, as a bulletin board for important messages. You can also reply to a message via a response (like, dislike etc.) or commentary.

🎤 Comment using audio messages or audio transcripts into text

Save time! You can now leave a comment using an audio message that you record directly in CAFLOU (on mobile, tablet or desktop), or you can have your audio message transcribed into text.

💣 Income and expense (time) rates and project rates

We have a significant expansion of work with timesheets and tracked time for you - it is now much easier to monitor earnings thanks to two rates - the income part / the expense part.

You can now also set individual project rates for each project.
