November 2025: New features that simplify the management of multi-location networks Updates designed for smoother, clearer, and more efficient management Every month, the Cerca collaborative platform evolves to meet the needs of multi-location networks: franchises, retail chains, branch offices, or brand groups. In November, several key improvements were rolled out to enhance visibility into field operations, simplify administrative tasks, and provide a more strategic view of growth. Here’s a closer look at three major new features that improve team efficiency, from headquarters to the field. 1. Simpler Invoice Management Invoice management is one of the most time-consuming responsibilities for administrative teams. To streamline these processes, Cerca is introducing a set of enhancements designed to ensure clarity and consistency in payments. It is now possible to define a specific payment method for each client: bank transfer, direct debit, Stripe, GoCardless, or a custom IBAN.Once the settings are configured, the platform automatically applies the selected method when generating invoices. Users can also filter their invoices by payment method, making it easier to organize, track, and analyze payments. This update allows accounting and administrative teams to save time, better organize their cash flows, and work with greater clarity regarding network payment terms.

More Transparent Field Visits Thanks to Question-by-Question History Field monitoring relies on the ability to compare changes at a site from one visit to the next. Until now, this comparison sometimes required reviewing several previous reports to find answers, files, or comments. Now, when filling out a report, users have direct access to the question-by-question history: previous notes, responses, dates, attached files, comments, and the overall rating from the last report. This makes information available at the right time and in the right place, without having to search through the complete history of site visits. This new view enables: a better understanding of how sites are evolving, more relevant and better-documented site visits, and significant time savings for network coordinators. 3. A Consolidated Recruitment Overview for Instant Strategic Insight Multi-site networks often have to manage multiple recruitment scenarios: by country, by brand, or by career path. Until now, statistics were viewable on a scenario-by-scenario basis, which limited the big-picture view. The new “All” view now provides a consolidated analysis of the candidate pipeline by grouping all scenarios into a single interface. Users can thus view: the total volume (active and archived), the breakdown by stage and by source, the reasons for archiving, candidate tags (regions, referrals, profiles, etc.), as well as geographic distributions. This comprehensive view offers a more strategic perspective on recruitment dynamics and facilitates decision-making for development teams.

All of these updates help streamline the user experience and strengthen day-to-day operational management. A platform that evolves with its users As we do every month, feedback from our client brands informs Cerca’s product roadmap.This collaborative approach allows the platform to evolve in line with the needs of multi-location chains and their field teams. Cerca continues its mission: to offer chains a single platform to track, analyze, and drive their performance, with a constant focus on simplicity, fluidity, and clarity.
