The new Public Requests feature simplifies the process of submitting project and booking requests, even for those without a Cirkus login. All deliverable requests can be submitted through the request portal, enabling all the information to be gathered in one place.
Version 7.1 of farmerswife boasts a range of enhancements, including advanced equipment tracking, scheduling improvements and budgeting functionality.
Visitors to the farmerswife stand will also be able to see new AI-enhanced product plans for the media sector and new features to enable clients to monitor their carbon emissions impact.
