Android Release #26

June 5, 2014 3:29 pm / Leave a Comment / Tom

Listed below are a few of the changes made in this latest release of the Towbook Android App.

1. We completely redesigned the status update screens, making it much easier for drivers to update the status of a call. The new status screen also captures and displays the status times and makes selecting the next status easier by pre-setting it for the driver, eliminating another click.

Product Updates – Week of May 26th

May 29, 2014 9:59 am / Leave a Comment / Tom

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!

Product Updates – Week of May 19th

May 22, 2014 9:48 am / Leave a Comment / Tom

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.

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

Added Balance Due to Call Analysis Report

May 3, 2014 7:33 am / Leave a Comment / Tom

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.
