Product Updates

RELEVANT FOR: Fleet Managers

We have redesigned how vehicle availability is displayed in the Carsharing tab of the Digital Vehicle File. This update replaces complex status messages with a clean, high-contrast layout that tells you exactly whether a vehicle is ready for use and when its status will change.

What is New:

• Simplified Status Labels: At a glance, you will see a clear color-coded status. Green (Available) indicates the vehicle is ready, while Red (Booked) shows it is currently in use.
• Precise Timing Subtitles: Underneath the status, we’ve added a helpful hint.
  • If Available, it shows: "Next Booking at: [Time/Date]".
  • If Booked, it shows: "Available at: [Time/Date]".
• Standardized Date Formats: To eliminate guesswork, we no longer use vague terms like "tomorrow" or "in 3 hours".
  • Today’s events: Show the time only (e.g., 14:30).
  • Future events: Show the date and time (e.g., 12 Feb 09:00).
• Clear Edge Case Handling: If a vehicle is available and has no future bookings scheduled, the system will clearly state "No upcoming booking," giving you total peace of mind.

The benefits at a glance:

• Instant Clarity: Visual color coding allows you to scan the fleet status in seconds.
• Elimination of Ambiguity: By using absolute timestamps instead of relative text, there is no confusion about exactly when a vehicle is free.
• Better Planning: Seeing the "Next Booking" immediately helps managers make quick decisions about vehicle assignments.

We have expanded the document management capabilities within the digital vehicle file to provide more precise categorization. This update introduces six new communication types to the document upload process, allowing you to organize vehicle-related paperwork with greater detail and accuracy.

What is New:

• Expanded Document Labels: You can now select from a wider range of specific categories when uploading documents. The following labels have been added to the dropdown menu:
  • New car order
  • New car delivery
  • Contract amendment
  • Tax assessment
  • Registration documents
  • Value loss appraisal
• Verified Display Accuracy: After submission, the selected label is strictly tied to the document, ensuring that the file reflects the correct communication type throughout the digital vehicle record.
• System Consistency: All previously existing document types remain fully available and functional, ensuring no disruption to your established filing workflows.

The benefits at a glance:

• Granular Organization: Moving beyond general labels allows for a more structured digital vehicle file, making it easier to distinguish between orders, deliveries, and legal assessments.
• Improved Searchability: By using specific communication types, you can find critical documents—such as registration papers or tax assessments—much faster.
• Reliability & Stability: Every new label has been rigorously tested to ensure the upload process remains seamless and that no existing data is affected.

RELEVANT FOR: Fleet Managers

We have refined the location management system to better handle non-standard addresses and improved the visual layout of input forms. This update ensures that your address data is stored exactly as you intend, particularly for locations without specific street numbers.

What is New:

• Strict "No Street Number" Logic: When you set the "Includes Street Number" toggle to "No," the system now strictly enforces this rule. Even if an address input originally contained a number, it will be automatically cleared from the database and displayed as a hyphen (-), ensuring no phantom data remains.
• Visual Consistency: We have polished the layout of address input cards. All two-column fields now feature standardized spacing to ensure perfect alignment with the rest of the platform’s design.

The benefits at a glance:

• Data Integrity: Guarantees that if a location is marked as having no number (e.g., named houses or industrial zones), no number is accidentally saved.
• Cleaner Interface: Improved spacing and alignment make input forms easier to scan and quicker to fill out.
• Error Prevention: Eliminates ambiguity in address records by strictly adhering to your configuration.

RELEVANT FOR: System Administrators & Enterprise Clients

We have significantly expanded our Single Sign-On (SSO) capabilities to support a wider range of enterprise identity providers. You are no longer limited to pre-configured options like Google or Microsoft; you can now integrate virtually any standard OpenID Connect (OIDC) provider.

What is New:

• Generic OIDC Support: We have introduced a "Generic" (or "Other") option in the SSO configuration settings. This allows you to connect providers such as Keycloak or other custom identity solutions.
• Automated Configuration: The system can now automatically retrieve necessary endpoints from your provider's configuration file, making the setup process faster and less error-prone.
• Expanded Compatibility: This update bridges the gap for enterprises using centralized access management tools that were previously not supported.

The benefits at a glance:

• Centralized Security: Manage user access through your organization’s existing identity provider without creating separate credentials for our platform.
• Seamless Login: Employees can log in using their standard corporate credentials, eliminating password fatigue.
• Flexibility: Connect the identity management system of your choice, ensuring our platform fits seamlessly into your existing IT infrastructure.

RELEVANT FOR: Fleet Managers

We have redesigned the Contract Details header to provide immediate visibility into the financial health of your assets. You can now access critical TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) data, including total contract values, depreciation, and recurring fees, directly at the top of the page without digging into sub-menus.

What is New:

• Total Contract Value: The Contract Info Card now displays the calculated total cost (Initial Fee + Recurring Fees + Final Installment). It dynamically adjusts based on your selected "Gross" or "Net" view preference.
• New Fees Card: A dedicated card now summarizes your recurring costs, displaying Monthly Fees, Yearly Fees, and the Payment Cycle at a glance (applicable to non-purchase contracts).
• Depreciation Insights: For leasing and rental contracts, a new section tracks asset value, showing the Monthly Depreciation, Total Depreciation, and current Vehicle Value.
• Clearer Timelines: The contract date range (Start to End) is now prominently displayed. For Purchase contracts, this reflects the Purchase and Selling dates.

The benefits at a glance:

• Instant TCO Snapshot: Get a clear picture of the total financial commitment of a contract the moment you open the details view.
• Simplified Budgeting: Quickly view monthly vs. yearly obligations to aid in cash flow planning.
• Asset Value Tracking: Monitor how your vehicle's value degrades over time with visible depreciation metrics.
