Working together – brings everyone into the property picture
Andrew McClune, Senior Product Manager says: “Building the Explorer workspace has been a goal at Groundsure for over a decade. As Senior Product Manager, I’m incredibly proud to have led its development and watch it evolve from an initial concept, through to its launch in June 2025 and beyond. Over the past 12-months, we’ve continued to build on that vision, delivering exciting new features and enhancements to make Explorer even more valuable to our customers.”
Since its launch, customer feedback has been instrumental in shaping the workspace and driving its development. Andrew says: “We’re proud of how far Explorer has come and the improvements we’ve delivered.” While the latest design updates to the Explorer workspace may be small, their impact brings meaningful benefits to users.
Andrew explains further: “The latest enhancements reflect Groundsure’s commitment to putting customers first. It’s something Groundsure prides itself on. We wanted to help customers work smarter and efficiently. Enabling users to invite others from outside their organisation to collaborate on projects, really helps make Explorer the go-to workspace for assessing site risks.”
