Here you will find the latest features, improvements, and bug fixes for Driver Companion.
To ensure you have the best experience using our app, we recommend always updating to the latest version available from the app store (Android / iOS).
Note: The features available to you within Driver Companion will depend on your company's configuration of the app, and the current version you are using.
What's New
Dual Queue Zones
You can now have dual queue zones that allow you to maintain two queue positions when entering a zone within another zone.
Prevent Late Prebookings
The prevent late prebookings feature will prevent prebookings from being dispatched to you which may cause you to be late for your next booking.
Driver Documents
You can review documents sent to you by your company and then download, approve, or reject the document.
SumUp Integration
You can now integrate a SumUp device with Driver Companion to be used for taking payments.
Improvements
Multi-company Vehicles Display
The vehicles displayed on Driver Companion may now be limited to only show for any companies that another company is sharing, rather than showing all vehicles for every company on the system.
This is useful for when a number of companies share work but others don't, so the vehicles shown to you on the Driver Companion will only be those drivers for companies where work is shared.
SumUp: Pay Driver Direct
Payments made using a SumUp device can now be paid directly into your personal driver account, rather than being passed through the Ghost system.
