Product updates

What's New

A practical overview of the capabilities now available to help quality teams plan work, build reliable calibration records and prepare evidence as they go.

Available now

Built around traceable work, not feature checklists

Each update is designed to keep operational planning, technical decisions and quality approval clear—while preserving the evidence that supports them.

Explore all features

  1. Planning and onboarding

    A clearer route from setup to scheduled work

    New organisations can move through role-relevant setup tasks, while calibration teams can turn due requirements into structured work.

    • Role-guided organisation setup

      Owners, administrators and operational users see setup tasks suited to their responsibilities. Every task is optional, can be skipped and can be assigned to an appropriate colleague.

    • Work orders for calibration planning

      Group multiple calibration requirements into one work order, schedule the work and assign it to a person or team without turning the work order itself into a quality approval record.

    • Authorisation-aware assignment

      Assignment choices show whether personnel hold the relevant technical authorisation, including approaching expiry, while individual work items can override the order-level assignee.

    • Progress grounded in the work

      Work-order progress follows the status of its calibration items, keeping planning separate from the review and approval of calibration results.

  2. Imports and integrations

    Bring existing data in and trusted updates out

    Metra now offers guided imports and secure integration tools for organisations connecting established records and workflows.

    • Guided document imports

      Import asset registers, organisation structures and controlled templates from CSV, Excel and PDF files. Review detected tables, refine field mappings and approve a sample before records are created.

    • Reusable import profiles and scanned PDFs

      Save confirmed mappings for files that share a layout. Scanned PDF imports can use OCR when ordinary text extraction cannot find a usable table.

    • Organisation API keys

      Administrators can create scoped keys for the read-only integration API, set expiry, and rotate or revoke credentials without affecting normal user access.

    • Signed, reliable webhooks

      Choose relevant events, protect deliveries with signing secrets, test endpoints and review delivery attempts when a receiving system needs attention.

  3. Calibration evidence

    More of the technical record, connected end to end

    Controlled procedures, calculations, signatures and certificates now form a more complete and reviewable calibration record.

    • Guided procedure execution

      Build controlled procedure revisions, approve them independently and guide technicians through typed steps while preserving the exact revision used for each calibration.

    • Measurements, uncertainty and conformity

      Record measurement results, calculate against approved uncertainty budgets and apply controlled decision rules so the inputs and reasoning behind conformity remain reviewable.

    • Attributable approvals and certificates

      Capture attributable electronic signatures and generate controlled calibration certificates from approved records without duplicating the underlying evidence.

    • Verification and historical evidence

      Use equipment QR codes and public certificate references for verification, while retaining imported historical evidence and its supersession trail.

  4. Audit readiness

    Evidence that stays useful beyond the day-to-day task

    Operational status, exceptions and retained history come together in tools designed to support audit preparation as work happens.

    • Due-status dashboard and reminders

      See current, due-soon, due and overdue requirements in one organisation view, with configurable notifications to help teams act before deadlines are missed.

    • Out-of-tolerance investigations

      Failed or indeterminate results can open a controlled investigation with impact assessment, corrective action and close-out evidence.

    • Audit trail and evidence exports

      Review permission-controlled audit history and generate evidence exports without exposing internal storage details or weakening organisation boundaries.

    • ISO/IEC 17025 audit dossiers

      Assemble a scoped, reviewable dossier that brings together relevant equipment, calibration and supporting evidence for an audit period.
