qashqade 26.0.0: Sharper insight, enhanced usability

In this article

Release 26.0.0 gives your teams sharper insight and stronger control across every stage of allocation management: a new, configurable Reporting module, risk-free scenario simulation, a strengthened calculation engine, clearer visibility across vehicles and partners, and tighter event governance all arrive in this release.

New reporting, enhanced configuration

Admins can now build reports on top of any waterfall calculation and publish them as Excel or CSV with a new set of tools; defined once, reused across vehicles, runs, and points in time. Reports are assembled from simple building blocks covering data selection, grouping, filtering, and output formatting. A spreadsheet-style preview lets teams check a report before it’s generated, and new Comparison Report types show how figures have developed between two dates; this is ideal for period-over-period reviews.

Simulate before you commit

A new simulation capability lets admins define a scenario and run it without touching the underlying data: the resulting transactions only exist within that run. Scenario runs are clearly labelled throughout the platform, so exploring “what if” never puts live figures at risk.

A more transparent calculation

Calculations can be started more efficiently: structures can now trigger a full batch of dependent runs in one go and prices or share counts calculated in one vehicle now carry into another. This release also strengthens the engine underneath: period restrictions can be tied to a partner, association or vehicle date.. Run settings are documented alongside the results themselves. Users can access a new navigation pane with the key configuration components by locking waterfall runs for editing. 

Clearer visibility for vehicles and partners

Voting and ownership rights are now visible per partner and per vehicle, including an indirect “look-through” view of ownership further down a structure, and partner value is split into realized and unrealized amounts for a clearer read on what’s already landed.

Other improvements

Alongside these headline features, 26.0.0 brings stronger event governance, refinements to incentive handling for shareholders, and a long list of usability upgrades from confirmation prompts before deleting a run or report, to a choice of date formats, to clearer labelling across the platform.

John Owens joins qashqade

qashqade announces that John Owens has joined the company as Chief Operating Officer. In this role, John will oversee qashqade's day-to-day operations, working with teams across the company's Zurich, New York, London, and Budapest offices to strengthen execution as the company grows.

Private Markets Technology: Buy or Build?

In 2023, we made the case against building private markets tech in-house. That case still holds but AI has changed the calculus. We revisit build-vs-buy through a 2026 lens, and add a dimension our original piece didn't cover: the compliance, operational, and LP-facing risk that any build must own.

Behind the Waterfall: Paul Foley

In this edition of Behind the Waterfall, we speak with Paul Foley, CTO of qashqade. Paul talks about what that unusually global, cross-sector path teaches you about building mission-critical systems, and why he doesn't see innovation, stability and security as competing objectives.
