Transflo Mobile+ 6.1.x Release Notes

Celebrating ten (10) years of essential freight logistics features with document scanning, ELD telematics, HOS, and truck driver convenience all packed into one complete mobile app serving the largest fleets down to the smallest independent owner-operators, Release 6.0 (followed by 6.0.x patches and 6.1) of the Transflo Mobile+ app includes the following new features, enhancements, bug fixes, and patch updates listed below.

Last summer, mobile app users (drivers) received an updated Release 6.0 app available in a phased roll-out as early as August 1, 2023 with most user devices receiving the updated app by September 2023. See below to learn more about the latest 6.x version updates and patches in early 2024.

New document scanning, photo capture, edge detection, deskewing, blurry image detection, and other upload and send features in R6.0 are associated with the following primary driver features:

• Send load documents such as a paper receipt or an electronic BOL

• Report a traffic incident with one or more uploaded accident photos

• Report over, short, or damaged cargo (OS&D)

• Report tire damage with optional documentation or photos

• Any other in-app feature that requires the user to capture or upload documents and photos, and make any of the following optional image adjustments:

  • Adjust Brightness

  • Crop

  • Rotate

  • Set Format (black and white, grayscale, color)

• New! Improved document scanning, photo capture, image correction, upload, and send features.

  • Our new scanning and photo capture engine addresses previous user pain points, fixes bugs, and enhances the user experience across the entire app.

  • In addition to the initial crop functionality, users can also take advantage of a secondary Crop button that now appears on the Adjustments screen.

  • All scan settings are now located inside of a settings button within the core scanning functionality. Users can easily swap between settings on the fly. The app remembers and applies the most recent settings.

  • The method of asking for device camera permissions has been improved.

  • Adding signatures is now a part of the final step before submitting a batch.

• Updated the in-app experience to open the Apple App Store or Google Play Store for optional third-party apps.

• Updated back-end resources in the integrated CoPilot app to prepare for future load route optimization enhancements.

• Added the Context menu (also known as the Options menu indicated by ellipsis... or 3 dots) on the integrated HOS screens.

• Added deep link functionality for Netradyne and the FleetCor DRIVEN FOR COMDATA™ app.

• Internal infrastructure hardening, core technology enhancements, and security updates.

• General bug fixes and enhancements.

For carriers with a custom edition of the Transflo Mobile+ app for your fleet (sometimes known as a white label implementation), depending on your specific configuration, subscription, SLA, and release schedule, some drivers can expect the following October 2023 updates to the Mobile+ app on their smartphone or tablet:

• 121697: Updates to the Geotab URL, logging, account management, and CoPilot.

• 140599: Android 12 support, Geotab Dissociation fixes, and Google API Level 31 compliance.

• 136829: Drivewyze SDK updates.

The new features, enhancements, and bug fixes in this patch are the same for iOS and Android.

• CoPilot Route Optimization: Release 6.0.1/6.0.3 adds the ability to pass routes from optimization software into CoPilot. Customers who leverage Transflo for CoPilot can now get optimized route information from Manhattan Fuel & Route, Trimble Expert Fuel, and other providers. In Transflo Mobile+, drivers can seamlessly leverage these routes inside the familiar CoPilot navigation experience.

• GeoTab SDK Enhancements and ATI Integration Support: This release patch adds support for the GeoTab Drive SDK. Customers leveraging Transflo Mobile+ for HOS/ELD can also take advantage of mobile-specific ATI add-ons such as driver notifications about unverified logs. With Release 6.0.3, Transflo Mobile+ now offers seamless integration with Assured Telematics Inc. (ATI). A basic set of ATI GeoTab add-ins are now available free of charge to all current Transflo-GeoTab customers. These add-ins are designed to help small owner-operators and large fleet managers alike with their daily mission to optimize driver efficiency, improve HOS compliance, and reduce HOS log audit infractions.

  

  Tip: Transflo Mobile+ now supports most GeoTab marketplace add-ins. A list of current offerings is available at marketplace.geotab.com.

   

  

  Note: For the best integrated experience with Geotab ELDs, ATI HOS add-ins, and the Transflo Mobile+ app, make sure your drivers are using version 6.0.3 of the Transflo Mobile+ app or a newer release.

   

• Vector Document Deep Link Improvements: Primarily for our large customers who may be required by shippers to use commercial third-party apps such as Vector during load delivery, this release now supports embedded load document deep links.

• Save or Reset User-Defined Cropped Regions in Your Scanned Documents: When you upload or scan a document you can crop it on the Scan Adjustments screen where five (5) buttons appear: Crop, Rotate, Format, Brightness, and Discard. The app attempts to apply your last saved crop region to your document. To crop out a different unnecessary region of the page, you can drag the blue dots or grab handles around the document at each corner to crop the image down to show only the exact area you want to keep (the rest is unnecessary and will be hidden or cropped out from further view).

  New in 6.0.1/6.0.3 is the ability to choose from the following three (3) Crop Image options:

  • Crop: To apply your current crop region to the document and save that same cropping shape or region so it can be applied by default to future documents to save you time, tap Crop. For example, maybe you often want to crop out the top 2-inches of all pages.

  • Reset: If you adjusted the last saved cropping region (you moved the blue dots) but want to discard your changes and revert to the last saved crop region, tap Reset.

  • Cancel: To cancel any crop adjustments, revert to the original document, and go back to the Scan Adjustments screen, tap Cancel.
