RecovR Release Notes

🕐 Contracts Show the Day You Actually Made the Sale

If you sold a car late in the afternoon and then downloaded the contract, the date on it could read as the next day. That hit West Coast dealers hardest — anything after 5pm local time came out dated tomorrow. Contract downloads now use your dealership's local time, so the paperwork matches the day you remember.

📄 Warranty and Term Are Easier to Tell Apart on a Sale

Term length and warranty coverage were tangled together in a way that made a sale record harder to read than it needed to be. Two new fields separate them out.

• Vehicle Limited Warranty and Keys Limited Warranty each read Yes or No, so you can see at a glance what a sale actually covers
• Both are set to Yes when the product on the sale is configured for a Tripac warranty, so the answer comes from the product rather than from someone remembering to tick a box

🐛 Fixed

• Vehicles with a paired locator no longer pick up a Suspected Off Lot alert they should never have had. That alert is meant for unpaired locators only, and it was turning up sporadically on paired ones — so the alerts on your lot are ones worth chasing again
• The sales flow now greys out Next when the same tag ID is entered twice, so you catch the duplicate while you are entering it rather than wondering why the sale will not go through

🚗 Sales Flow Updates

• You can now sell RecovR and R4K with custom term lengths. A new “Product Offerings” dropdown in the Sales UI reflects your dealership’s available options, giving you more flexibility and alignment with PEN.
• We’ve added a new “Product Offering” field to the Sale Confirmation screen. You’ll now see the exact name of the Product Offering included in each sale for added clarity.

🚗 Show User That Voided a Sale

• We have added a new column to Sales tables in Internal Support. This column is labeled “Voided By” and displays which user voided the sale
• If the sale was executed via PEN, the field will be populated with “PEN”

🚗 Reorganized Locator Alerts / Statuses

We have reorganized some locator statuses. There were drawbacks to the previous method - for instance, a locator might be have the "Position Pending" and "Not Reporting" statuses, but only one would show at a time.

We have added a new "Locator Alerts" column that can show multiple different statuses simultaneously, providing a complete picture of the device's state and health. The status column will now show only some of the more fundamental statuses (Paired, Sold, Available, etc.).

Update position logic to avoid dramatic changes due to cell tower data

• Locators use cell tower data to determine positions if gps is unavailable. Often, the cell tower data we receive from the Google API is inaccurate, which can throw the position out of whack temporarily
• Solution: If a position reports on a new cell tower a significant distance (>100 miles) away from its previous position request, we now discard that position
