April 2023: Release summary
We’re delighted to share the latest updates on Piclo, designed to improve your experience as a Flexibility Service Provider. Below is a summary of the recent changes:
Download and Generate Invoices MVP
We’re excited to introduce the first version of our operations module, which now includes the ability to generate invoices directly from settlement reports. This provides a full end-to-end functionality for handling invoices within Piclo Flex.
Experience FSP Environment
We’ve launched a new environment tailored specifically for FSPs, complete with API documentation. This new feature empowers FSPs to explore and experiment with Piclo APIs, helping you integrate and test your systems more effectively.

Single Sign-On (SSO)
Accessing Piclo Flex has become easier and more secure with the introduction of Single Sign-On (SSO). FSPs (if set up) can now log in using their regular company credentials, streamlining the login process. Please note that SSO requires additional setup and comes with an associated cost.
Accessibility Improvements
We are committed to improving accessibility and are actively working toward WACG 2.1 compliance. Our recent updates include significant improvements in keyboard navigation and the resolution of contrast and semantic errors, making Piclo Flex more accessible for all users.
Additional Security Improvements
- Upgraded Virus Scanner: We’ve enhanced the security and performance of our system with an upgraded virus scanning solution.
- JWT Blocklist in All Services: User tokens are now automatically invalidated upon logout boosting security across the platform.
- Prevent Privilege Escalation on API Endpoints: We’ve implemented an important security update to prevent unauthorised access to specific API endpoints.
- Reduce Pre-Signed URL Exposure: To enhance security, we now only display the file name (not the full S3 path) after an FSP completes a DPS form, further protecting sensitive data.
If you have any questions or need more information about these updates, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We truly appreciate your continued support and feedback as we work to improve Piclo for you.
