The tech and development teams here at Rise DM continually monitor the performance and effectiveness of our digital services (websites, apps and reporting dashboards) to ensure that they remain fit for purpose and easy to use, while also providing real business benefits to operators.
During 2022 we have so far introduced over 40 system improvements and new features across our suite of products, and many of these have been prompted by your feedback. We are always keen to make sure our products continue to deliver for you and your customers, so please do pass any comments and suggestions on to me as they really do help us to make a difference.
