It was instantly very UN popular, so, taking the negative view, probably not going to see a new, improved, real time system ! ?

I was in IT for 40 years. You can tell by the screens and the way the current system runs that it's based on ancient technology - specifically IBM AS/400 or the equivalent. These systems require you run an update on changes nightly, which is why you don't get same day changes.
The cost to maintain these old systems and to actually obtain expertise in this area is far higher than what the cost of a new system with readily available hardware, software, and modern skills would be. Now add to this the ridiculously expensive maintenance of the antiquated phone system they use.
Put in a new system, retire BOTH the phone and current online system, and they should actually save money if done right. In addition, it then be easy to offer an app for Android and iPhone that connects to the system and make it truly accessible by everyone. This is what I did for companies throughout my career. What they offer here is laughable.
