📍 New Feature: Geographical Price Factor Now Available

We’re excited to announce a powerful new enhancement to your price calculator: Geographical Price Factor.

With this update, you can now define pricing rules based on location. A dedicated “Geographical Area” tab has been added, allowing you to:

  • Set a radius around a specific address
  • Assign a flat rate to that defined area
  • Automatically apply the additional charge when a trip passes through or ends within the specified radius

This feature is ideal for adapting prices to high-demand zones, remote areas, or locations with special service conditions.

Start optimizing your pricing strategy today by configuring your geographical pricing zones!

This feature needs to be loaded separately, so it may take a little time before it becomes available.

PS! To make the feature available, it must be enabled for the relevant user roles.

🚗 New Setting: Auto-Accept Trips in Ferdia Driver

We’ve added a new configuration under Company Settings that allows all trips to be automatically accepted in the Ferdia Driver app.

When this setting is enabled:

  • All trips assigned to drivers will be auto-accepted by the system.
  • Drivers will be notified of new assignments, but no manual action is required from them in the app.
  • The trip status in TEQ will automatically update to “Driver Accepted.”



🗓 Visual Planner Update: Week Start Day Alignment

We’ve improved the Visual Planner to better align with your company’s scheduling preferences.

Now, the day selected as the start of the week in your company settings will also be reflected in the Visual Planner, providing a consistent view across the platform.


🐞 Bug Fixes & Improvements

We’ve addressed several issues to enhance overall stability and user experience:

  • Phone Number Prefix: The phone number field will no longer be pre-filled with a default prefix, allowing for more accurate data entry.
  • Department Access Rights: Resolved an issue where users with view-only rights could change departments.
  • UK Customer Country Assignment: Fixed a bug that prevented the system from automatically setting the country for UK-based customers.
  • Customer Import: Corrected an issue where importing customers with identical invoice email addresses caused errors.
  • Dashboard Map Filter: The department filter now functions correctly on the Dashboard map.
  • Trip List Search Behavior: Removed the auto-search trigger when selecting a department in Trip Lists to prevent system issues when multiple options are involved.
