Managing multiple updates across United Baristas – ongoing, minor disruptions
We are in the middle of a project to update all of United Baristas. It's called Project Ensemble and the objective is to
- unify the design across United Baristas
- integrate all our Services in one place and make them easier to use
Work started in 2023 when we brought together some existing services on https://services.unitedbaristas.com/
The next step is to push updates to our live sites. We plan do this in phases, which will cause a series of temporary disruptions:
- some pages will periodically look awkward as the functions and the design fall in-and-out of sync
- some functions will temporarily be removed
At the end of the project:
- All services will be on United Baristas Services
- There will be a new United Baristas design
- Functions, such as UB-iD, will be updated
Thanks for your patience while we make these improvements. If you have any questions or something isn't working as expected, please contact Support.
United Baristas Services – bringing everything together [Project Ensemble]
Work has started this autumn on Project Ensemble, our effort to bring together all our services into one place. It's going to be a massive, multi-stage project that will take much of 2024 as we integrate jobs, new and used equipment, companies and profiles as well as commercial sales. The first big step was incorporating Equipment into Market so that it would integrate with Marketplace and Company Profiles. Many of you are already finding this useful, so we are embarking on the next step. We are updating you now so can appreciate the bigger picture as we make the next updates. Together, they'll build the future of United Baristas. Specific updates to follow as changes are made. And if you have any suggestions drop us a line. Thanks for your ongoing support and all the best for the year ahead.

United Baristas Services – Styling 🎨
Some pages are awkward as we update templates across United Baristas Services. We are simultaneously updating the software that powers United Baristas and preparing to implement a new design. We'll seek to make these changes as smoothly as possible, however some pages and functions will be awkward at various times. It'll all be worth it in the end.
