What’s New in Catalyst Platinum 4.4.8 and Platinum Online 2.14.4?

At Catalyst, every new release of Platinum and Platinum Online is designed with one goal in mind: to give dealers the tools they need to operate more efficiently, improve customer service, and maximise their profitability in fast-changing markets.

Our latest updates continue this commitment, delivering new functionality across payments, workshop, payroll, and online sales.

What’s New in Platinum 4.4.8?

Pay By Links

The Platinum integration with Fiserv Clover lets customers easily pay for purchases online through the secure Clover payment platform. Platinum users with a Fiserv Clover integration can include Pay By Links on invoices generated from Platinum.

• QR codes – Invoices can now include unique QR codes, allowing customers to make payments quickly and securely from their mobile device. This creates a seamless payment experience for customers and helps dealerships improve cash flow.

 

Workshop – Yamaha Digital Service Records (DSR)

Our Yamaha Digital Service Records (DSR) integration lets dealers upload service records for Yamaha units directly to Yamaha’s DSR system via Platinum. This minimises errors, ensures compliance with manufacturer requirements and provides customers with a complete digital service history. The Yamaha DSR integration lets dealers search for and create units, view digital service history and service parts, saving the workshop time and unnecessary hassle.

• Progress Indicator – A visible progress bar now shows when data is being retrieved from Yamaha’s API, giving users clear feedback and smoother operation.
• Unit Service History – Dealers can now view a complete service history for Yamaha units, giving instant visibility into past maintenance and enhancing customer confidence.

 

Payroll

Platinum’s fully featured payroll package allows the simple calculation of national insurance, tax, pensions and other payroll details, helping dealerships manage all aspects of finance and HR in one integrated system. With Catalyst Platinum you can rest assured: our payroll solution is recognised by HMRC.

• Statutory Neonatal Care Leave and Pay – Platinum Payroll now supports the recording and processing of this new statutory entitlement, ensuring compliance with legislation and allowing businesses to reclaim payments through the Employer Payment Summary (EPS).

What’s New in Platinum Online 2.14.4?

Our web-based solution, Platinum Online, enables even greater flexibility with Unit Sales Online. This means you can manage unit sales any time, from anywhere with an internet connection.

Unit Sales Online streamlines the sales process by providing real-time access to unit stock, customer details and sales orders directly from a handheld device. This lets you save time, effortlessly create unit quotations and orders, and sync data seamlessly with your Platinum system.

• View Quotes and Orders – Unit quotations and orders can now be accessed instantly within Platinum Online.
• Add Multiple Units to Orders – Dealers can now process multi-unit sales in one transaction, simplifying administration.
• Document Locking – To protect data integrity, documents are now locked to a single user when being edited. This prevents simultaneous edits and helps ensure data integrity.
