You will now be able to mark vehicles as Dealer Trade or Wholesale. These will be new sale types, similar to vehicle only sales, and will not count towards your monthly sell thru rate.
We now capture the name of the salesperson who sold RecovR at your dealership. You can view and export the sales list from RecovR to see relative performance of sales/F&I team.
Last vehicle VIN field on the locator will now be automatically populated every time a locator is unpaired. This helps with reconciling lost locator invoices and general troubleshooting on unpaired locators.
Improvements
Theft recovery became instant, as we removed the delay to present the theft recovery URL, when enabled, to immediately share with law enforcement.
Reduced number of alert emails for users, by eliminating repetitive Far from Lot alerts for the same VIN via email. This to ensure alerts received are insightful for the user receiving it.
Since October, payment statuses have been added to billing page. We have now updated all 2021 invoice statuses to appear as "Not Applicable" since payments were not tracked within the portal until 2022.

What's New 🔥
Tired of manually transferring vehicles and locators between your locations? Automated transfers are back! Company administrators can enable automatic transfers on the company overview page. Read more about automatic transfers here.
Offsite vehicles just got easier to manage! We've introduced two off-site statuses, Near Site (distance from dealership is less than X miles) & Far From Site (distance from dealership is more than X miles. By default the threshold X is set to 25 miles, but users can enter their own threshold in the alert rules page.
Improvements
Sort & filter got a makeover - new conditional filters make it easier to find exactly what you are looking for and nothing else!
New dashboards make finding important information easier than ever. Check out our guide on the position history dashboard to get started.
We've improved the Vehicle Left Lot After Hours alert to only trigger for vehicles that were previously onsite during that business day.

What's New 🔥
We get it—sometimes you misplace your keys (or the whole car). That's why we've introduced a simple 'Mark as Lost' action directly in the Vehicles and Locators pages.
You talked—we listened. This update also introduces the ability to download the RecovR Contract PDF directly from the Sales tab.
We've updated the Billing dashboard to display all charge and credit addendums made to previous invoices. Any user with access to the billing view will now see an additional line that reflects any credits or charges added by the accounting team against an invoice. This will affect the amount outstanding to be paid.
We now have alerting available for those pesky off-site vehicles. If a vehicle has been offsite for 3 days continuously, that vehicle and locator status will be marked as a Suspected Drive Off. After 15 days, the vehicle will be marked as a vehicle only sale, and unpaired from the locator. The locator's status will update to 'Lost- Assumed Drive Off'.
Improvements
Contract statuses now update automatically, once the scheduled start date or end date has passed.
Fixed
We had some issues with filtered values appearing correctly in the billing dashboard. That bug’s been squashed.

The date formatting on CSVs was looking a little wonky. We've fixed that in this release.
Updated Description for Theft Recovery Mode in the Web Apps - We have updated the description on the Theft Recovery card in the web app to better align with our immediate theft case activation and the expected reporting frequencies from the locator.

In addition to fixing an issue with enabling face or touch ID, users will now be able to enable face and touch ID directly within the native app. When they enable face or touch ID from their settings, they will be immediately prompted to enter their password, which will enable face or touch ID for all future logins. They will no longer need to log out and back in an additional time.
Improved Deep linking on iOS - We have updated the deep linking mechanism on iOS to more reliably route you into the native app instead of routing you to the app store.

Theft recovery mode notifications - When theft recovery is mode is activated, users will be notified via Push, Email, & SMS notifications. These notifications contain further instructions on how to get help and give them direct access to the theft recovery URL to share with law enforcement.
Notification configuration & robustness - While building out the theft recovery mode notifications, we have fleshed out notifications to be more easily configured and scaled to future notifications that we would like to implement. Users can disable email and SMS notifications from their app settings and disable push notifications in their phone settings.
“Update Required” pop-up - Previously, we have had no way to force users to update their app when they have been using out-of-date versions. We have introduced this functionality in the native app so that if we release any breaking changes in the future, we will be able to force them to update. Note: This is not a backward compatible feature, so we will not be able to force users to update who are using version released before Audi A3
