RecovR Release Notes

Dealers

Lot Management 1.42.0

December 13, 2023

Coming Soon!

🚀 What's New

  • 6-year Warranty: Dealers now have the option to sell a 6-year warranty rather than a 3-year warranty via PEN or the UI.  This was a direct ask from multiple dealerships and is now available.  This information is also visible in the Support Tool UI.
  • Map Icon Aggregations: Vehicle icons on maps will now group based on proximity. This will help make the map less cluttered while still showing the user relevant information.  Map icons will separate as the user zooms in.

  • Skip FOTA Attribute on Locations: There are several locations that should never receive a FOTA update (terminated locations, manufacturing, etc).  These required operators to “just know” which locations shouldn’t receive updates.  To help with this we have added an attribute on Locations (fotaOptions/fotaUpdate) which can be set as desired and then used to automatically filter out any locations that should never receive FOTA updates.

✅ Improvements

  • Allow users to void sales up to 21 days: Previously dealers were only able to void sales for 7 days after the sale.  This resulted in a large number of support requests to void sales past this timeframe.  Extending the window in which dealers can void sales should reduce requests made to RecovR Support.
  • Remove Zone Labels from Map view: Previously zone names were shown on any map view showing zones.  These often clutter the interface and become unreadable.  These have been removed to make the map cleaner.  Zone Name should still show up when the mouse is over a given zone.

🔑 R4K

  • Users will now see a warning on any Vehicle Only sales where tags are paired at the time of sale.  This mimics the warning already seen when a locator is paired on a Vehicle Only sale.

  • Dealerships can now create and void Key sales via PEN integration.
  • Users are now blocked from pairing keys to tags that are not reporting (heartbeat older than 10 minutes) or have a battery level below 50%.

🐛 Fixed

  • There were a small number of locators where the Invoice ID was populating as “undefined”.  This issue has been fixed.
  • Some locators would not properly update their paired status leading to mismatches between status and actual state.  This has been fixed to ensure the status is in sync and updated properly.

Lot Management 1.41.0

November 8, 2023

Coming Soon!

🚀 What's New

Prevent vehicle creation for vehicles sold in the past 7 days
  • Since the introduction of the VIN Collision workflow we have found that dealers often recreate vehicles within hours of selling them.  This breaks the connection the user who purchased the locator has rendering them unable to see or track their vehicle until manually corrected.
  • To prevent this if a user tries to create a vehicle that has been sold with RecovR in the last 7 days they are prevented from doing so and redirected instead to the Sale page to void the sale if desired.
  • This should make the choice more explicit while still allowing dealers to create vehicles when necessary.

✅ Improvements

R4K
  • You can now ring tags that are not paired to keys from the tag list page.


🐛 Fixed

Miscellaneous
  • An issue that allowed users to create zones with insufficient data has been fixed.  
  • Certain device attributes that were previously showing up incorrectly should now show properly

October 19, 2023

Coming Soon!

What's New? 🔥

  • Navigational Breadcrumbs: All users will now see navigational breadcrumbs on desktop and mobile. This change is based on the navigation UX survey responses we received. In addition to the breadcrumbs taking you farther up in the hierarchy, they also store your most recent search & filters for each page in this page during your session.

  • Improved Tabs Visual Design: When you drill into an item like a vehicle or key, you will see a new visual design for the tabs above the title of the page. This change was made along side the breadcrumb updates based on user feedback.

  • Improved Top Navigation Focus State: In the top navigation, the page you are on will now have a blue background in addition to being underlined. This change was made based on the navigational survey feedback we received.

October 16, 2023

Coming Soon!

What's New? 🔥

  • Key Tracking is Here: Our new RecovR for Keys product has launched and can now be sold alongside RecovR Locators! It tracks your key inventory indoors and outdoors to reduce loss and accelerate your sales process. Interested in adding keys to your F&I product portfolio? Contact us
  • Changes to RecovR Sales Flow: You’ll need to select a RecovR product the next time you make a RecovR sale, so check the box for “RecovR Locator” as shown below. Our newest product, RecovR Tags, will also be listed, but it is only clickable if your dealership has added key tracking to its product offering.
  • Sidebar Navigation Changes: You may also notice that Locators are now found in a new section of the side bar called "RecovR Products." Rest assured that all the data is still there!

What's New

Vehicle Motion Alerts Improvement

Users can enable motion alerts regardless of the locator state. Before this release, users could only enable this is state 10 & 11.

Consumer Position Requests | Guide

When consumers request a position immediately after buying RecovR, they were getting an error that was difficult to understand. We’ve updated this error to be more intuitive and provide the reasoning behind the delay.

No Assets Empty State

When consumers log in to the native app, there are edge cases where they will see no assets. This can happen because:

  • A dealer voids their sale erroneously
  • A dealer adds the vehicle VIN back to their inventory via the VIN collision flow, de-permissioning a user

The new empty state helps inform the user that this problem can be fixed & provides a pre-filled message to support.

What's New ✨

  • We've added more informative error message when trying to create a new password. Now you'll know what you need to fix to keep your account secure with a strong password or if you made a typo confirming your password (don't worry, it happens to the best of us).

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed: If you opened the link in your invitation email, you may have had trouble navigating to the correct app. We've fixed this so you can go from your email to tracking your vehicle in the app with ease.
  • Fixed: It may have been hard to see your password as you were typing it in on the login screen. Now, you'll always be able to check that you haven't added an extra character by accident.
