1. Introduced ride reminders for customers<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Customers now receive automated reminders about their upcoming rides. These reminders help reduce no-shows, improve punctuality, and ensure a smoother experience for both riders and operators. Notifications can be customised based on time intervals (e.g., 30 minutes or 1 hour before pickup).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

2. Added a new admin permission: \u201cBooking.\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A dedicated \u201cBooking\u201d<\/strong> permission has been added to the admin panel. This allows you to control which staff members can create, modify, or manage bookings. It enhances data security, prevents unauthorised changes, and makes user-role management more flexible and granular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

3. Added an option to change dispatch booking colours based on date<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dispatch users can now easily distinguish bookings for today and tomorrow<\/strong> with customizable colour tags. This enhancement helps streamline schedule management, makes it simpler to spot upcoming or past jobs at a glance, and reduces confusion when handling a high volume of bookings on the dispatch grid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

4. Added an option to update the Google Calendar template<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Admins can now modify the Google Calendar export template to include customised fields, formats, or details. This ensures that calendar entries match your operational needs\u2014whether you need more detailed trip information or a cleaner, simplified format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

5. Updated base fare and minimum fare configuration for customer and driver distance fares<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The structure for configuring fare rules has been improved for both customer-facing prices and driver payouts. You can now define base fares and minimum fares more accurately and independently for different distance-based pricing models. This ensures more transparent pricing and better alignment with your business logic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

6. Introduced a base-to-pickup booking time restriction<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A new setting allows you to restrict how soon a customer can book a ride relative to the current time. For example, you can prevent customers from booking rides that start within the next 5 or 10 minutes, giving your team and drivers sufficient time to assign and prepare for the ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

7. Added quantity limits and min\/max pricing for extra services<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Extra services\u2014such as luggage, child seats, or special equipment\u2014can now have quantity limits and controlled pricing. You can define minimum and maximum quantities a customer can select, along with price ranges. This helps avoid overbooking resources and ensures consistent pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

8. Enabled Fixed Fare Support for Drivers<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve introduced Fixed Pricing for Drivers, giving admins more flexibility to set driver fares for fixed locations. This update adds greater control over driver payouts and simplifies fare management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How driver fixed pricing works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If Override driver fare with percentage of journey fare = No
\u2192 The system uses the fixed price entered by the admin.
If Override driver fare with percentage of journey fare = Yes
\u2192 The system automatically calculates the driver’s fare using the configured percentage of the journey fare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to update the percentage override:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go to Price \u2192 General Module.
Adjust the Driver Fare Percentage as needed.
Open the Driver Module to review how the override applies to driver fares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

9. Introduced Time Slots for Fixed Pricing<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Time-slot-based Fixed Pricing is now available, enabling more accurate fare control by allowing different fixed prices for different time periods. This helps admins manage peak and off-peak pricing more effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

10. Added Three New Page Templates<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve added three new page templates to expand customisation options and improve the overall user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

11. Added Romanian Language Support<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Cabcher now supports Romanian, expanding access for more users and reinforcing our commitment to a globally inclusive platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

12. Auction<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Extra services\u2014such as luggage, child seats, or special equipment\u2014can now have quantity limits and controlled pricing. You can define minimum and maximum quantities a customer can select, along with price ranges. This helps avoid overbooking resources and ensures consistent pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
