- 📊 Reporting Hub - We’re working on a new hub for all team reports, bringing everything together into one easy-to-use place. We’d love to hear your thoughts: Give Feedback on Reporting in Obbi
July 2025
⭐ Editable Documents - No more having to download Word documents and re-upload them - with the new Editable Documents capability in Obbi, you'll soon be able to choose from a vast array of templates (e.g. Safety Statements, Emergency Contact List, Machinery SOPs etc.), and customise them from within Obbi in seconds.
⭐ Asset Register - Track all machinery and equipment at your club from one place, in Obbi. The new Asset Register module will allow greenkeepers, maintenance managers and mechanics to keep track of hours, maintenance issues, and pre-start checks against all their individual assets - making it easy to manage all in one place.
⭐ Email Notifications for Messages - A highly requested update to the Messages functionality in Obbi now means that managers can choose to notify their staff via email when a message is sent. This makes it much easier to communicate critical safety information, whilst giving you the confidence that staff are kept fully aware. Please note: users can only receive email notifications if they have verified their email address.
🎨 Improvements and Updates
- The home page has been revamped for greater clarity on your work and training requirements
- Simplified admin options are now available with new Create and Manage menus that allow quick access to all admin functions straight away.
December 2024
⭐ Task Report Hub - View all task reports in one place, and filter by Team, Time, Category, Status (Passed/Failed), and more. This powerful new feature allows team leaders and general managers get a quick overview of which critical checks have been carried out by their teams.
⭐ Risk Assessment Templates - We've worked with leading health and safety consultants to produce a starter pack of Risk Assessments designed for clubs. While this library will continue to grow over time, today we're pleased to offer a set of over 100 templates covering course maintenance, hospitality, and the workshop.
⭐ Email Notifications for Messages - A highly requested update to the Messages functionality in Obbi now means that managers can choose to notify their staff via email when a message is sent. This makes it much easier to communicate critical safety information, whilst giving you the confidence that staff are kept fully aware. Please note: users can only receive email notifications if they have verified their email address.
🎨 Improvements and Updates
- The User Profile screen now shows all key information about an individual staff member in one place: Training Records, Documents Acknowledged, Certificate Expiry, Risk Assessment Acknowledgement and any Task Observations by their manager. This makes it much quicker and easier for managers to pull up all information they need about a particular staff member quickly, ensuring that records are easily produced when required.
🛠️ Bug Fixes
- Certificates will show their description instead of the original filename when listed to users.
- Fixed an issue that caused a CSRF token error to appear on the User Profile screen occasionally.
November 2024
⭐ Bulk Password Reset and Resend Welcome Email
- We have added the ability to Reset Passwords and Send Welcome Emails in bulk. This has been requested as a way of making it easier to manage your teams in Obbi, and is available from your Admin > Users page today.

- Improved the performance of data reports on Corrective Actions
- Improved the rendering of PDFs used as part of a Training Module
- Team managers now get an alert if a member of their team raises an Incident
- General performance improvement across all screens of Obbi
- “Device” users (e.g. shared tablets) no longer show in staff reports or drop-down menus
- Added support for Word Document files (.DOCX) as attachments on Messages
- Improved the user experience of adding and saving comments on task line items
🛠️ Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where adding a photo to a task report without saving the comments first could remove the comments
- Images with very large dimensions are no longer failing to process
- Fixed an issue where signatures were difficult to read in full screen view due to the background colour used
- Fixed an issue caused by pressing a PIN button whilst the user was logging in
October 2024
⭐ Risk Assessments
- Define risk assessments by identifying hazards, documenting existing safety controls, and setting up dynamic follow-up actions with notifications to your team. Plus, the new Safety Action Plan helps you keep track of all follow-up actions across your club, streamlining all paperwork down to a powerful dashboard.
⭐ Task Template Library
- Access over 100 pre-built checklists across key areas like Buildings and Facilities, Environment, Food Safety, and more. Customise them to fit your club's specific needs with ease, then distribute to staff with a single click.
⭐ Safety Essentials Training Videos
- Equip your staff with essential safety knowledge through our new training videos, produced in partnership with HealthMatters. Covering areas such as Fire Safety, Manual Handling, Slips Trips and Falls, and much more - these 10-min video courses are provided free of charge to all existing Obbi customers. As a special offer, anyone can watch the full video on Fire Safety here now: Safety Essentials - Fire Safety
⭐ New Cloud Infrastructure
