Enforce Minimum Version
You may now receive a message within Driver Companion to update the app if your app version is not the most up-to-date version available.
ePayment
When a booking is placed or modified to use a card as the payment method, Driver Companion will now display ePayment as the payment type. Previously this was displayed as ‘prepay / prepaid‘.
Emergency Button
The triggering of an emergency has now been designed to function completely covertly, as to not alert passengers to the live recording taking place, and the phone dialler is now hidden by default.
