🚦 Stop stepping on each other's edits

Get instant alerts + see who's editing + know exactly what changed

See who's in the record—live • Instant alerts with field changes • Timeline that remembers

🎯 Complete Real-Time Collaboration System

Before: You open a sales order. Someone else edits. You save. Their work vanishes.
After: You see "Sarah editing" indicator. Wait 10 seconds. Pop-up shows "Unit Price: 100→120". You add your discount without conflict.

No more "who changed this?" meetings. No more redoing lost work. Every edit tracked, every user visible, every change instant. 3 models tracked instantly: Contacts, Users, and Companies. 12 more ready to enable: Sales Orders, Invoices, Products, Tasks, Projects, CRM Leads, Purchase Orders, Stock Pickings, Manufacturing Orders, Helpdesk Tickets, Employees, and Expenses (just uncomment 1 line each).

🎯 Not just another notification app

Basic apps tell you: "Record was modified"

We show you exactly what changed:
📝 "Unit Price: €100 → €120"
👤 "Changed by: Sarah"
⏰ "When: 3 seconds ago"
🔍 "Discount: 10% → 15%"
📄 "Payment Terms: Net 30 → Net 15"

Every change shows old value → new value. No guessing. No confusion.
