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.

RELEVANT FOR: Fleet Managers

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.
