Mintsoft Product Updates

Improvements Made this Release:

Windsor Framework Support

The Windsor framework is an agreement, which goes live on the 31st of March 2025, between the UK and the EU designed to ease the flow of goods between Great Britain and Northern Ireland. As part of this work we have added support to the following integrations as part of our initial release, after being identified as the highest priority. Should you use an integration that isn’t on this list and you require support of the Windsor Framework, please contact our support team.
