Exciting News: One-off Payments Now Available in Our Portal!

Hello everyone,

Broadband Product Supplier Resilience Hotfix

Hello valued customers of The Bunch,

We are excited to announce a minor improvement to our product, with the release of our Failover Supplier Resilience Hotfix. This hotfix is a significant step forward in ensuring the reliability and resilience of our product offering.

One of the key features of The Bunch is its ability to seamlessly connect you with a network of trusted suppliers for all your needs. However, as with any technology, there can be occasional hiccups that may impact the supplier connection. With our new Failover Supplier Resilience Hotfix, we have now implemented a backup plan to ensure uninterrupted access to our supplier network.

What does this mean for you as a customer? It means that even if there is a temporary issue with our primary supplier connection, the hotfix will automatically kick in and connect you with an alternative supplier, ensuring that your order is fulfilled without any disruption. This hotfix release also includes improvements to our overall supplier resiliency, making any potential disruptions even less likely.

We understand the importance of reliability and efficiency in today's fast-paced business world. Our team has worked tirelessly to develop and implement this hotfix, and we are confident that it will provide a smoother and more seamless experience for our customers.
