Popup to categorize driver log trips
12/30/2020, 3.71
In order to ensure that in a car sharing scenario all driver logs are categorised promptly, the driver will be prompted to complete categorization before finishing his booking.
Privacy concept for fleets in electronic Logbook
12/30/2020, 3.71
For our Electronic Logbook, we first developed the core process of trip documentation and integrated our CarSharing Kit and the OBD-plug.
Now we are on the verge of an official market launch and have integrated a permission concept, which is necessary for fleets. Admins can neither see (1) uncategorized trips nor (2) private trips of users.
In the meantime, product flyers and prices have also been defined. fleetster customers who already have CarSharing Kits installed can activate the electronic logbook for an additional 5€ per month.
Improved Penalty Management Details
12/30/2020, 3.71
Unfortunately, fleet management does not come without parking tickets and administrative offences. Especially with large fleets, one quickly loses the overview, especially if the process is not completely mapped out.
With the feature Penalty Management, fleetster has provided admins with a clear solution that supports the recording, forwarding and status of each administrative offence.
The latest product update now also allows the mapping of additional driver information and an improved categorization of infractions.

Integrated Geotab OBD and Traka Key Cabinet
12/02/2020, 3.69

It is now possible for users to upload a profile picture through the mobile application.
Optimize database performance
10/22/2020, 3.66
Through extensive research and analysis, the main database performance was drastically improved with no increase in the underlying hardware.
A thorough indexing strategy was applied across all relevant database collections based on the practical usage of the system for the past years. Growth patterns and future forecasting was integrated into the indexing design in order to account for the future state of the system.
These adjustments allow the database to handle a significantly higher volume of data and customers whilst providing top of the line performance.
Report damages during bookings
10/07/2020, 3.65
Until now, users were only able to add damages before the start or after a booking was completed. Through our user feedback feature in the app, we learned that damage documentation during the journey is desired by our customers. Thus, users of a Car Sharing system with an installed Car Sharing Kit can report damages directly during the trip.
This improvement is active for all accounts that use the damage management feature.
