This Cabcher update introduces new features, dashboard improvements, enhanced booking management capabilities, and several important bug fixes. The release focuses on simplifying account billing, improving administrative workflows, expanding booking configuration options, and making the platform easier to manage across different environments.
Added Features
Automatic Invoice Creation for Accounts
Cabcher now supports automatic generation of combined invoices for multiple account bookings on a scheduled basis. This feature helps streamline account billing by consolidating bookings into a single invoice, reducing repetitive administrative work and making invoice management more efficient.
Page and Blog Templates
Predefined templates are now available for website pages and blog posts. Administrators can select a suitable template when creating or editing content, helping maintain consistent page layouts and simplifying website content management.
Driver Audit Download in Dispatch
Administrators can download driver-related booking audit details directly from the Dispatch page. This makes it easier to review driver assignments, track booking changes, and maintain records for operational monitoring and auditing.
Reviews in JSON Output
Customer reviews are now available json output. This makes review data available through the JSON endpoint for supported integrations and other uses that depend on structured review information.
Vehicle Restrictions for ASAP Bookings
Cabcher now allows administrators to configure which vehicles are eligible for ASAP bookings. The system filters the available vehicle options according to these settings, helping ensure that customers can select only vehicles permitted for immediate bookings.
Dedicated Discount Structure for Customer App Bookings
A separate discount structure has been introduced specifically for Customer App bookings. This allows the app to use its own discount rules independently of the standard booking discount configuration. Return journey discounts no longer apply to bookings made through the Customer App.
llms.txt File Management
Cabcher now allows administrators to manage the llms.txt file, helping AI tools and language models easily discover and understand information about the website, its features, and dashboard functionality. This makes key platform information more accessible to AI systems.
Journey Routes on the Dispatch Map
Journey routes are now displayed on the Dispatch map, giving administrators a clearer visual representation of booking routes. This helps improve journey visibility when reviewing and managing bookings through the Dispatch interface.
IP-Based Login Security
Cabcher now includes enhanced dashboard security that restricts each user account to one active IP address at a time. When the same account is accessed from a different IP address, the previous session is automatically logged out, helping prevent unauthorised access and improve account security.
Dashboard Interface Improvements
The theme and language selectors have been moved into the profile dropdown, bringing these settings together in a more convenient location. The dashboard navigation bar has also been updated to fit more neatly within the interface, creating a cleaner and more compact layout.
