What is new in Crux

Every update since June, newest first.

  • 22 updates
  • Latest: October 15, 2026
  1. Finance

    See what every project and product earns

    Sales now carry the project and the product all the way to the invoice, so revenue lands where it belongs.

    • Quotes and orders can name one of the client's projects, and the invoice keeps it
    • Add invoice lines straight from the product catalog, with its price, unit and tax
    • Revenue reports broken down by product and by product category
    • A budget for each project, with budget left, revenue, expenses and profit on the project page, seen only by people with finance access
    • An order that has been invoiced is locked until its invoice is voided, so orders and invoices never disagree
  2. Control

    An audit log that names every change

    Know who changed what, and when, across the whole business.

    • Quotes, orders, products, clients, invoices, credit notes, payments and refunds are all recorded
    • Employee changes and role changes, including who was given which role
    • Each line names the record, such as "Quote QT-0007 marked as accepted"
    • Filter the log by the kind of record you are looking for
  3. Mei AI Assistant

    Mei knows the whole business

    Mei can now answer questions across sales, finance, people and the company itself, still with only the permissions you have.

    • Quotes, orders, the product catalog and sales settings
    • Invoice details, payments, refunds, reimbursements and the sales and purchase registers
    • Employee history, the org chart, leave types and attendance requests
    • What each project earned against its budget
    • Who did what, from the audit log
  4. CRM & Sales

    From quote to invoice, without retyping a line

    CRM now covers the whole sale: price a quote, email it, turn it into an order, and let the invoice write itself when you deliver.

    • Quotes with discounts, taxes and live totals, emailed to the client as a branded PDF from your own address
    • Your own quote email templates, and a history of every quote you sent
    • An accepted quote becomes an order in one click, and a fulfilled order can create its draft invoice automatically
    • A product and service catalog with categories, prices, units and tax, ready to drop onto any quote or order
    • Sales settings for automatic billing, how long a quote stays valid and your default terms
  5. Platform

    Use only the modules you need

    HR, Projects, CRM and Finance now stand on their own, so each team gets exactly the system it needs, with nothing in the way.

    • Run CRM without Projects, or Projects without CRM; each module works on its own
    • Switch features on or off inside a module, such as quotes and orders or the product catalog
    • Modules connect by themselves when both are on: a won lead opens a project, an order becomes an invoice
    • Fewer menus for teams that do not need them, and the same records underneath when they do
  6. Platform

    Version 0.3.0: cleaner screens, safer demos

    The screens people use every day are tidier, and every demo environment now belongs to one visitor.

    • Redesigned dashboard, organization profile, account, apps and AI settings pages
    • A clearer employee popup with the details people look for first
    • Demo environments sign each visitor in with their own email and a new password
    • Mei AI assistant, interface styles, a brand colour and installable apps are all part of this release
  7. Mei AI Assistant

    Pick the right model for the right task

    Choose which model answers each chat, right where you type. Use a fast, light model for quick questions and a stronger one for reports, and keep your AI costs down.

    • A model menu in the chat box lists the models of every provider you have connected
    • Quick lookups on a small model cost a fraction of a full report on a large one
    • Models show readable names and a short hint, such as fast, balanced or most capable
    • Your choice is remembered on your device, and usage shows which model answered each question
  8. Mei AI Assistant

    Mei, the AI assistant, arrives

    Ask in plain words and get answers, reports and drafts from your own data, with the same permissions you have.
