đ New features
Reported drivetime
When rates are calculated based on the drive time of the driver, the shipper can enable a setting in TOPS Control Tower, so the rate is calculated accordingly.
In order to calculate the rate correctly, the driver is asked to provide the time he needed to execute the order. This will be asked in the last step, before completing the order and only when the setting is enabled in CT.
Reported distance
This feature is similar to the one described above.
But instead of calculating the rate based on the driver's drivetime, it's calculated based on the driver's distance.
ABP transport
When the transport order contains ABP materials (Animal By Product), it's clearly indicated to the driver on the TO detail page and on the collection/delivery screens.
đ Feature improvements
Let the driver sign in behalf of the customer
In some cases, the driver might be able to sign in behalf of the customer.
If so, the shipper needs to enable the setting 'Customer power of attorney' in his division master data and only then, the driver will see a disclaimer underneath the signature screen.
Disable tracking
On iOS phones, the app shouldnât require the toggle âAllow trackingâ to be enabled. Until now, the app requires the user to enable this, but we donât track cookies, so itâs not necessary.
Weighing - Location bridge side flow
When the driver is at a Collection location, a location with a managed weighbridge then the weighbridge reference should be prompted to the Driver. If itâs a location without a managed Weighbridge location then do the weighing flow shouldnât be enforced at Collection.
So CT will add an extra option to the weighing flow setting:
weight at location on material line exclusively if managed weighbridge
weight at location on material group exclusively if managed weighbridge
weight at location on material line
weight at location on material group
New fields in the offline transport document
The driver needs to show all legal necessary fields of the goods heâs carrying on his truck, when being stopped by the police. In the offline mode, we've added some new fields that also needs to be available on the offline transport document in Mobile Driver.
When the name is too long, we're now adding a second line, so the user and police can see the entire field.
Show server, shipper and carrier name
When a driver is executing transport orders of different shippers (servers), he needs to know the shipperâs name. When the transport order is being subcontracted, the application will show the name of the subcontractor.
New languages
The app can now be used in Czech.
We all need a bit of Flo-love
Our beloved Flo robot welcomes you on the login screen.
đ§ Technical updates
Good news, the application is now compatible with TOPS Control Tower 4.26.
đ Bugs
Validate minimum amount of a charge
In TOPS Control Tower, the shipper is able to define a minimum amount for a charge. The carrier is now not able to provide a charge lower than the minimum value.
