Update v3.23.0
20 November 2019
Vehicle Movement Tracker and Data Recorder

A new set of features has been added.

Now passengers waiting for pick up can see (in real time) how far away their taxi is and afterwards keep tracking their journey while inside the car. Archived journey data is also available to driver and admin.

At the moment only customer with account can use this feature. We will be providing another update early January to do the same by Guest customer. 

Web Booking
- Added a new setting Show passenger, luggage and hand luggage amount options in the first step of the booking
This feature makes the booking process simpler and faster. We recommend using it, if you don’t want the customer to choose vehicle type (eg. Saloon, MPV or Executive) but rather provide any vehicle that is available and meet require capacity.

When this feature is enabled, the first step of the booking will ask the customer about needed vehicle capacity: passengers and luggage. Based on customer choice a vehicle with minimum requirement will be offered.

For example:
– If a customer requires a vehicle for 2 people and 2 luggage, the minimum capacity vehicle probably will be a Saloon (depending on your setting).
– On the other hand, if a customer requires a vehicle for 5 people and 4 luggage, the minimum capacity vehicle probably will be a MPV.

This setting allows to allows to enable/disable Get current location option in Web Booking widget.

Path: available in Settings -> Web Booking Widget -> Step 1.

- Improved web booking widget iFrame integration for Get current location
This eliminates issues which appear after latest browsers update. We highly recommend to go through the setup process again. Setup information can be found in Settings -> Web Widgets .
- Fixed the issue with Autocomplete – Force selection
While active, the system will no longer show a warning message “Unable to find address” when there is no address entered in the field.

This setting allows to disable cash payment for airport pickups. This is particularly useful as a security measure for customer not waiting for their driver (No Show).

Path: Settings -> Web Booking Widget -> Step 3

This setting allows to enable/disable Passenger, Luggage and Hand luggage amount options in the first step of the booking. The choice of the amount of passengers and luggage determines availability of the vehicle type in Step 2 of the booking – a vehicle with the minimum requirement capacity will be automatically chosen.

– Fix: When booking has been discounted to zero the system will automatically change booking status from incomplete to complete or requested depending on admin settings.
