Product Updates

During the booking process of electric vehicles using the mobile application, we now display the estimated range at the requested time.

The estimated range of an electric vehicle during a requested reservation period will properly take into account:

• the previous bookings
• the future bookings
• the last known state of the vehicle
• the planned distance of your booking

fleetster extends its Hardware offering. Besides great partnerships in fleet hardware with Traka and Invers, we have recently added Geotab as an additional telematics provider.
Geotab is the world-market leader in telematics and offers a simple to use Car Sharing Kit that is connected to the vehicle via the OBD port and makes it easy to install.

Now our customers can buy an NFC/RFID-reader as an add-on to the Geotab Keyless device for car sharing, which allows users to start & end bookings with their employee badge or an RFID sticker on their driving license. That process allows users to use the system who don't have or don't want to use their smartphone.

In order to comply with the requirements of new customers in the US including local government agencies and organizations, the fleetster infrastructure is now available to operate exclusively out of AWS US data centres.

Thanks to innovation in DevOps relying on AWS Cloudformation technology, the fleetster server architecture can be replicated to AWS data centres across the world to better suit the data security requirements of various countries.

New users are likely to have an empty trip list. Providing clear instructions and information for what the user should do next will improve the first user experience.

Additionally, in order to improve usability, once the user has finished categorizing the open trips the list provides connections to the most likely next steps such as finishing their ongoing trip.

Make visible and accessible to all customers the various types of hardware we can provide.

The system was adjusted to:

• Consolidate current hardware sections under a new first level menu hardware
• Design and integrate with the upselling feature for inactive sections
• Migrate hardware related sections to the new menu (vehicle map, vehicle events etc)

The digital vehicle file now provides access to detailed information of the currently designated business driver as well as the past drivers of the vehicle.

The driver tab provides access to:

1. Driver Information
2. Driver License Details
3. Driver License Checks
4. Driver History

The section for managing the OBD plugs has been restructured and enhanced in order to:

1. Improve first access experience when accessing Geotab section
2. Improve Geotab device setup to ensure smooth onboarding
3. Improve management and overview of active Geotab devices

This was done by:

1. A new list showing all devices available to the customer (including those not yet connected to a vehicle)
2. Restructuring the information available in the vehicle and device lists to highlight the key information relevant at each step
3. More information and data available in the vehicle and device details
4. Additional fields allowing the administrator to specify installation details

As a progressive company and forward-looking organization, we've taken gradual steps towards gender inclusiveness over the last years. With this release, the subject has been taken to its final conclusion.

The gender concept has been removed from the system entirely. All emails, push notifications or user-facing communication is gender-neutral. All representations of users (icons) are gender independent.

The organization's feature (user groups) was expanded to allow specifying which groups should be available for selection in user invitation or registration processes.

This allows rental companies or public car sharers to better organize which groups can be selected at account creation compared to which groups are intended for the internal organization of the company.

Building on top of the recent fleet management tasks feature, a new section was constructed for the user.

The user task list provides an easy overview of all tasks the authenticated user needs to perform alongside the key information necessary. The user has the option to mark tasks as done whenever they have been completed.

This feature represents the foundation for coordination between fleet managers and drivers. Further developments and enhancements of this functionality will be rolled out across the next months.

A new feature for the fleet management module of the fleetster mobility platform. This new administrative section allows efficient management of vehicle service and repairs.

Services can be new, scheduled, in progress, done or paid. Information for the service partner or workshop as well as the service timeframe can be added to the scheduled service. Invoices or additional documents can be uploaded for ease of access and transparency.

This functionality will be closely integrated with vehicle invoicing, damage control, maintenance contracts as well as fleet reporting.
