Today marks an important milestone in Gather's evolution. We're introducing Gather 2.0 - a completely refreshed interface that sets the stage for exciting innovations to come. This isn't just a visual update; it's the foundation that will enable us to deliver powerful new features faster than ever before.
Over the past year, we've listened to your feedback and recognised that to deliver the features you need, we needed to modernise our platform from the ground up. Gather 2.0 provides the technical foundation to build the workflows, visualisations, and intelligent features that will transform how you manage your operations.
The first thing you'll notice is our refreshed design. Every element has been thoughtfully updated to:
Reduce visual clutter so you can focus on your work
Improve readability with better typography and spacing
Enhance usability with clearer buttons, icons, and interactions
Increase consistency across all areas of the platform
We've reimagined how you move through Gather:
More screen space for your actual work - the sidebar stays tucked away until you need it
Hover to preview, click to pin open
Consistent positioning of all major features
For Workspace Administrators, settings have moved from the top corner to the sidebar, aligning with modern app conventions. One less thing to remember when switching between platforms.
Whether you're on a laptop, desktop, or tablet, Gather 2.0 adapts beautifully to your screen size, ensuring a consistent experience across devices.
Built for Speed: The new architecture isn't just prettier - it's faster. Page loads, transitions, and data updates all happen more quickly, saving precious seconds that add up throughout your day.
Ready for Innovation: This modern foundation enables us to build and deploy new features in weeks, not months. The technical improvements behind the scenes mean we can now deliver:
Real-time collaboration features
Advanced data visualisations
AI-powered workflows
Third-party integrations
As your operations scale, Gather 2.0 scales with you. The new architecture handles larger datasets, more complex workflows, and growing teams without missing a beat.
What Stays the SameWhile the interface looks fresh, we've kept everything you rely on:
All your data remains exactly where you left it
Existing workflows continue working as before
Core features like Shift Planner and Shift Records operate just as you remember
Your reports and exports maintain the same format and structure
This foundation enables us to accelerate the development of the features you've been requesting.
Our roadmap includes:
Enhanced Shift Planner with bulk operations
Template-based planning for recurring shifts
Smart data entry assistance
Automated workflow builders
Short-term planning Gantt interface
Bulk editing capabilities across all sections
Improved allocation workflows
Smart defaults and auto-population
Enhanced reporting visualisations
AI-powered insights and predictions

We'll be rolling out these improvements progressively, with your feedback helping us prioritise what matters most to you.
