Listed below are a few of the updates we’ve released in Towbook over the past week.

Report Changes

• Changed the graph on the Dispatch Analysis Report to include exact same date range as the filter for the report.

Settings Updates

• Revised wording in Driver setup to make adding a user account for drivers more clear.
• Expanded the fields for Impound Lots to accommodate longer addresses.
• Changed the term “Default Rate” to “Standard Rate” to make it more obvious to users when setting up a rate item.

Dispatching

• Revised how the time picker works when adding the date and time for an Impound in Dispatching. You can now scroll up or down and the start time is pre-set to begin at the current time.
• Added an option to Pay in Full to the bottom of the Dispatch screen and to the Complete Call screen.
• Made it easier to change an account on a call. When you click on the filed now the original account is automatically selected and you can easily select the new account name.

Storage Rules

• We updated storage rules to correct a problem with the midnight setting for when to charge the next day of storage.

Thanks again for all the great feedback and suggestions – please keep them coming!

Listed below are a few of the updates we’ve released in Towbook over the past week.

• Changed Record Payment Screen so you can not click on a column heading to sort by that column.
• Use Impound Receipt when opening an Impound from the Dispatching Section.
• Added Release Date to Modify Impound screen so you can adjust the release date if an error was made. Note: this does NOT affect the charges for the call. If you need to change the charges on a call you must do that manually after the call was released.
• Updated Storage Rules to allow more options for when storage calculations should start.
• Added each Impound Lot to the export for Dispatch Analysis and Call Analysis Reports. Previously, we did not include the Impound Lot on this export.

Today we made a simple but important change to the Dispatch listing for Completed Calls. We added the current outstanding balance or amount due for the call to the details listed for each call (in Red). We also added a simple Paid indicator if full payment has already been made on the call (in green).

Today we added a balance due column to the Call Activity Report (under Dispatching Reports) to make it easier to view the open balances for calls for a specific date range. This makes it quick and easy to review the open balance for an account, a specific driver or even a dispatcher for the day, week or month.

We will be making more update soon aimed at making tracking and managing payment status easier.

Our latest update to Dispatching included the ability to dispatch a new call with one click. If you include a driver and a truck on new calls you add to Towbook, a new button will appear at the bottom of the page called “Create and Dispatch”. Clicking this button will automatically create the call and send it to your driver.
