The Store Locator Plus® SaaS platform will be updated this weekend after months of restructuring servers and software. The new version will be running the latest versions of PHP and MySQL on top of cloud based container services. These updates are expected to improve overall stability and performance of the SaaS platform.
Most changes will not be readily apparent to most users outside of some basic user interface updates including menu restructuring and the new locator style interface. Once the new servers and software take over for our production SaaS login it will provide the ability for our team to provide release more frequently and in smaller packages. We are hoping this leads to faster response times addressing customer issues and the ability for our team to launch new features, big or small, on a faster release schedule.
You can learn more about what changes are coming that will impact the user experience in our New Locator Updates Coming Soon post.
Expected Downtime
During this transition we anticipate the main SaaS website to be unavailable for users to login for up to 30 minutes on Sunday February 23rd, 2025 starting around noon EST. Map rendering on customer sites should see little to no impact during this update.
The update is expected to be finished and the new system to be fully online for users by 4PM EST the same day.
If you have issues logging in or notice problems with your locator installation after 4PM EST on February 23rd 2025 please contact us using the contact form within the dashboard page or via the contact form here.
