🚀 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.

🌈 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 shouldn’t require the toggle ‘Allow tracking’ to be enabled. Until now, the app requires the user to enable this, but we don’t track cookies, so it’s 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 it’s a location without a managed Weighbridge location then do the weighing flow shouldn’t 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 he’s 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 shipper’s 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.

🔧 Technical updates

Good news, the application is now compatible with TOPS Control Tower 4.26.

🐛 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.
