mrshl — Product Release Notes

Meet the new RaceDesk orb: short, event-aware answers and reviewable actions for setup, staffing and race day, alongside tighter security across key organiser and volunteer tools.

Private volunteer dashboards, a more compact Race Desk, better course-map setup, and clearer event, communications and billing tools, plus an expanded administration cockpit.

Major race-day update: see exactly where you are in the day's shift coverage with a live Now line, and get to the important controls faster with streamlined mobile Race Day and check-in screens.

Less clutter in Settings: clearly grouped controls, quick section navigation and concise guidance, plus a new race-director message in the back-office top bar.

A clearer, more flexible workspace: persistent navigation, a smaller collapsible desktop sidebar, and light-blue help panels you can open when needed.

Less repetitive setup and more confidence before saving: reviewable event copies, bulk shift creation and volunteer allocation, a saved-progress setup checklist, and clearer CSV and sheet imports with field matching and duplicate warnings.

Race Day Live turns the personalised marshal brief into a connection with Event Control: one-tap arrival and stand-down, live presence on the board and timeline, offline tap syncing, and organiser-controlled release.

A new race-day shift timeline and chronological live board, plus clearer multi-shift WhatsApp messages, saved event messaging, clickable brief links, editable emergency numbers and automatic date changes when reusing an event.

More control over briefs and course setup, safer day-to-day editing, stronger volunteer records, and a cleaner mobile event workspace.

A dedicated mobile check-in screen for race morning, and full control over the wording your automated emails start from on every new event.

Email exactly the volunteers you choose, fit multiple contacts neatly onto your briefs, and stop re-entering the same roles and dialling code for every new event.

Reward your volunteers properly: upload your own discount codes from any registration platform and every volunteer gets their own unique code by email.

Email is now built in. Your volunteers get looked after automatically from sign-up to thank-you, you can broadcast to any group in seconds, and every send is counted so you always know what it costs.

Bring your team into your account, fix a volunteer's details in seconds, and a far deeper Insights dashboard that tells you where your staffing is actually going wrong.

The second round of client feedback: a sign-up form you can trim down, briefs you can tweak point by point, WhatsApp links that actually open, and a one-tap way back to your race.

Straight from a client running a multi-zone event: sign-ups grouped by zone, your own word for “volunteer”, bulk zone tidying, and free race entry for run clubs.

CrewMate AI now keeps a permanent record of everything it changes, so any job it does can be undone in one tap — and it can build your sign-up form and brief layout for you.

Everything from Matt's first run at a real event: shifts in the order you want them, a sign-up form you control, editable briefs, and no more accidentally deleting people.

A mobile overhaul. mrshl now behaves like a proper phone app on race morning — instant status changes, easier taps, and a much faster first load.

CrewMate AI — an operations assistant built into the platform. It reads your event, tells you what's missing, and does the setup work for you when you ask.

Zones are now the place you write your briefing and logistics once — every point in the zone inherits it, and every brief updates the moment you change it.

Run clubs can now sign up as a group and be rostered as one, and building your sign-up form finally looks like the form itself.

Two big ones for larger events: a waitlist so a full shift never turns anyone away, and operational zones to keep a hundred-point course navigable.

For everyone still running their race off a spreadsheet: work in a grid if you prefer one, and bring your existing sheet across in a single paste.

A visual view of how your staffing is going, faster group-link setup, and a way to check the lanyard card before you print a stack of them.

Race-morning polish: everything that cuts down phone calls on the day, plus the tools that turn a one-off volunteer into a returning one. Bulk course importing, lanyard cards, parking detail on every brief, and a volunteer pool that carries across every event you run.

The original mrshl platform: plan a course, recruit and roster volunteers, generate personalised marshal briefs, and run check-in on race day.
