New features & updates

Big things are coming in early 2025!

You may have heard that we are collaborating closely with iSAMS to bring writeback functionality to SOCS in early 2025.

Stay tuned to our newsletters and social media for the latest updates and exciting announcements as we kick off the new year. We can’t wait to share more with you soon.

Activity club pupil attendance report updates

Our development team has been hard at work behind the scenes to enhance the Activity Club Pupil Attendance Report. The updates include improved performance, new filters such as Event Only Pupils and Current Pupils Only, and the addition of a Gender column to provide greater flexibility in reporting.

We’re excited for you to explore these new features and hope they make managing attendance even smoother.

Facilities BETA testing is in full swing!

At the end of November, we hosted a fantastic user group session with our amazing BETA schools to gather feedback on the new SOCS Facilities module. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us—your insights have been incredibly valuable in helping us fine-tune this exciting addition to the SOCS suite.

We’re delighted with the positive feedback so far and can’t wait to unveil the final version soon. Want to be among the first to experience SOCS Facilities? Email us at sales@socs.tech to register your interest today.
