NEW FEATURES

Custom Categories for Assets

Users can create and assign categories to vehicles or equipment for improved filtering and organisation.

Marketplace

The ‘Buy More’ feature is now ‘Marketplace’, allowing users to self-serve more of their existing trackers and discover new services.

Electric Vehicle Data 

Electric vehicles connected via OBD now display live battery percentage and remaining driving distance in the map's vehicle details panel.

Environmental Report for non-OEM Equipment

Users can now add engine parameters (fuel type, size, consumption) to non-OEM equipment to enable CO2 emission calculations. Estimated values are clearly marked in the Environmental Report to distinguish them from OEM-reported data.

Smart Connect for Milwaukee & Husqvarna

Users can now connect their Milwaukee and Husqvarna tools to the ABAX platform via Smart Connect.

Driver Privacy Mode

A new setting allows drivers to enable "Privacy Mode" in the mobile app, which hides their live location and automatically sets all trips to private, when enabled by an Admin in Settings.

Busy/Free Driver Toggle

Drivers can now set their availability status (e.g., "Busy" on a project or "Free" for new assignments) within the mobile app, when enabled by an Admin in Settings.

IMPROVEMENTS

Report Updates

·      Scheduled Equipment reports can now be exported in CSV format.

·      The "Last Contact" timestamp has been added to Geofence reports.

·      A “Weekends only” filter is now available for the scheduled Usage Report.

·      A "Geofence" filter has been added to the Usage Log and Environmental reports.

·      Environment reports can be grouped by Vehicle registration number.

Automatic Purposes and integration with PowerOfficeGo

Users can now apply their company's saved purposes to geofences. For customers using PowerOfficeGo, projects from that platform can also be used as automatic purposes.

New Driver UI

The driver view in the web browser has been updated with a new look and feel to match the admin view, creating a more consistent user experience across all markets.

Speed in Map

An admin setting is now available to display vehicle speed in the map view. This is on by default in the UK and Poland and off by default everywhere else. A privacy warning is shown when enabling.

Admin Approval for Triplog Submissions

Admins can now enable the "Require admin approval" setting for triplog submissions directly in the admin settings without needing to contact support.

RFID & App for Driver ID

Drivers can now use either an RFID card or the mobile app to log in to vehicles equipped with RFID readers.

Settings Page Redesign

The Vehicle and Equipment settings pages have been redesigned for a more scalable and user-friendly experience.

Locked Months for Triplog Submissions

A new "Locked Months" setting requires drivers to complete and submit triplogs from previous months in chronological order before they can log recent trips.
