Sofon 2025.1 Major Release

The latest release introduces smarter automation, expanded data capabilities, and deeper system visibility, helping organizations move faster, manage complexity with confidence, and deliver consistent results across every market.

Automation that keeps your system clean and compliant
Outdated quotes can now be removed automatically on a set schedule. Teams save hours of manual cleanup while staying aligned with data-retention and compliance standards. Sofon keeps your environment organized so your users can focus on active business.

Data scale without the bottlenecks
Web Studio now supports importing .CSV files up to 500 MB. Large data migrations and catalog updates can run in minutes instead of hours, cutting dependencies on IT and accelerating product rollout cycles.

API power that extends Sofon into your ecosystem
EPAL’s expanded API support lets external systems create and update products, questions, and formulas directly. It reduces duplicate setup work and allows product data to flow automatically between Sofon and surrounding business systems.

Visibility that drives better decisions
Detailed user activity logs, import histories, and audit trails give administrators and business leaders clearer insight into how the platform is used. That transparency strengthens governance and supports confident decision-making.

Performance you can feel
Optimized background jobs and faster queries make daily configuration and quoting smoother, even in large global environments.

Sofon highlights from 2025

The latest 2025.1 release builds on a year of continuous progress made across the Sofon platform. Here’s what’s already in place:

Modern foundations
Every core product, Web Edition, EPAL, and SMDI, now runs on the latest .NET framework, improving reliability, speed, and long-term support.

Unified data and tools
Web Studio is now the central hub for catalog and data management, replacing older maintenance modules and simplifying operations.

Enterprise-grade security and integration
With managed identity in Azure jobs, token-based web service authentication, and SSO options, Sofon now fits with ease into secure enterprise ecosystems.

Smarter compliance and control
Automated cleanup, user tracking, and refined confidentiality rules give organizations stronger oversight without added admin work.

Continuous usability improvements
Faster imports, clearer grids, and more flexible document generation keep users productive from day one.

Looking ahead to 2026 and beyond
Sofon 2025.1 is the foundation for what comes next, in 2026, we’ll continue advancing toward real-time insight, predictive configuration, and even deeper integration across your enterprise systems.
