Haulix Weekly Update #64 – Getting Back On Track

Hello, everyone! We are thrilled to learn that you were able to find time amidst your busy schedule to spend a few minutes with us. It’s Friday, which means it’s time to review everything we have accomplished in recent days. Before we get to that however, I wanted to take a few moments to introduce you to a fast-rising rock band we cannot get enough of around HQ. Ladies and gents, please take a listen to New Years Day:

Each and every Friday we like to take a brief break from our regularly scheduled programming to update and reflect on everything happening at Haulix HQ. We are far more than a music blog, as many of you already know, and posts like this give us an opportunity to share more our efforts with all of you.

We’ve been promising new product releases for the last two weeks, and it make us immensely happy to report we released not one, but two new updates to share. Neither one is necessary a reinvention of our system, but we do believe these changes will simplify our clients’ experience. Here’s a quick rundown:

Bandwidth Usage Alerts

The system will now send you an email alert when you hit 80% bandwidth usage for the month.

Bandwidth Usage Graphs

The bottom of your dashboard has a new function, “Show Promo Bandwidth”. Click the link and yellow bars will appear showing how much bandwidth has been used per the lifetime of each promo measured in gigabytes.

Plan Change Alerts

Anytime you upgrade, downgrade, hibernate or cancel your account, you will now receive a confirmation email.

We are tentatively planning a few additional updates before the end of 2014, but at this point we’re keeping all details associated with those efforts at a bare minimum.

On the blog end of things, you may have noticed a slight upswing in the amount of content created compared to a week ago. Our hearts are still very heavy from the loss of our close friend Justin, but life goes on and we are doing our best to push forward. The content created this week was largely dependent on help from a number of influential music writers, but we contributed quite a bit as well. 

In case you missed anything in recent days, here’s a rundown of our newest content:

That’s all we have this week. Again, thank you so much for finding time to spend a little time with us. We love how this site has evolved up to this point, and to be perfectly honest we very anxious to see what happens next. For now, be sure to have a safe and fun weekend. We’ll be back on Sunday with a new Job Board.

Best,

Haulix
