Article Summary

The Bringg Driver App for iOS is under constant development and maintenance to improve its features and functionality.

Driver App v1.153.0 (iOS)

June 7, 2023

KeyRelease Notes Description
BRNGG-19850
The Driver App now supports the Kinyarwanda (rw) language.
BRNGG-18803
Drivers can now adjust which items are delivered or rejected until they complete the order, ensuring the flexibility to complete the order successfully. For example, if a driver marks 5 items as rejected, they can later mark 2 as accepted if the customer changes their mind.
BRNGG-18104
Bringg can now present different order cancelation reasons to the driver depending on whether they arrived at a destination or not, providing more accurate data for you and an improved experience for the driver. For example, the cancelation reason "No one home" will only appear as an option when the driver is at the customer's location.

Driver App v1.152.1 (iOS)

May 4, 2023

April 3, 2023

KeyRelease Notes Description
BRNGG-8063
Bringg now offers greater visibility and control by requiring your drivers using the Driver App to set the necessary location permissions before beginning a shift.  This ensures better tracking, improving both performance and analytics. If their permissions are not already set properly, drivers using any device will see the permission requirement notification.

Driver App v1.150.0 (iOS)

Feb 21, 2023

KeyRelease Notes Description

BRNGG-3292

(App2) You can now require drivers to fulfill orders according to the sequence of the route. This aligns functionality with Android. Contact your Bringg representative to enable this setting.    

Driver App v1.149.0 (iOS)

Feb 21, 2023

KeyRelease Notes Description

BRNGG-6263

(App2) Drivers using the Driver App can now change delivery statuses and manage inventory on clustered orders, all in one go. A clustered order contains several distinct orders for different customers with the same destination. This aligns functionality with Android.    

Driver App v1.148.0 (iOS)

January 3, 2023

KeyRelease Notes Description

BRNGG-10524

(App2) Bringg's Driver App now allows drivers to perform a cluster delivery for a group of unrelated orders which share a delivery destination. For example, if a driver brings several orders of merchandise from a warehouse to a store location, they can perform a single action to confirm their collective delivery.

Driver App v1.147.0 (iOS)

December 25, 2022

KeyRelease Notes Description

BRNGG-11299

After a fix, the automatic check-in and out triggers, and subsequent reporting, functions correctly.

Driver App v1.146.0 (iOS)

November 22, 2022

KeyRelease Notes Description

BRNGG-6527

Drivers can now perform actions related to starting or ending their shift directly from the Driver App. For example, if a dispatcher requires a signature when the driver begins a shift, the driver will receive a prompt to add it immediately. This aligns functionality with Android.

Driver App v1.145.0 (iOS)

October 11, 2022

KeyRelease Notes Description

BRNGG-3370

Bringg now displays handling units in the Driver App, allowing drivers to understand how many units they need to account for at a glance. For example, a driver can now locate the four pallets indicated in the Driver App and know they collected all the items for delivery on their route.

Driver App v1.143 (iOS)

August 29, 2022

KeyRelease Notes Description

BRNGG-3293

Drivers can now add a second destination to an order with a single destination. For example, a driver arrived to replace a flat tire, which is a single destination service order, and discovers the reserve tire is missing and now needs to tow the vehicle to a garage. The driver can now add the garage destination as a second destination by selecting "Add Waypoint" in the Driver App, instead of calling the dispatcher to adjust the order.

BRNGG-6526

To ensure drivers do not miss any canceled order notifications, we added a new configuration "enable_cancel_task_notification_snoozing" for the notification to reappear when drivers do not confirm they saw that an order is canceled. The interval is fixed to one minute.

Driver App v1.142 (iOS)

July 17, 2022

KeyRelease Notes Description

BRNGG-6555

When a new order is assigned to a driver, in addition to "Accept" or "Reject", drivers can select "Not Now" to leave the order as unaccepted, drivers see it in their list of orders to tap and decide whether to accept or reject it.

You can set the order to auto-reject after x minutes and return to the AutoDispatch pool (merchant_configurations.auto_reject_unaccepted_task_after_minutes).

BRNGG-3315

The driver app now displays prices using the currency format based on the language settings in your phone. For example, for US Dollars 151767 appears as 151,767.00.

July 7, 2022

KeyRelease Notes Description

BRNGG-7526

(App2) Drivers using App2 can now easily take ownership of an order during handoff, by scanning a barcode/QR code placed on a package. For adhoc orders, drivers can add the goods related to the scanned code to a new order.

BRNGG-7527

(App2) "Driver unavailable" is now supported in iOS App2, along with Android. See the help content for this feature.

MOBILE-6636

(App2) Now you can persistently notify drivers of new orders until they respond (e.g. accept or reject the assignment). Set reminders as frequently as every 60 seconds. Set the time between each reminder in B-Control > User Configurations > New_Task_Alert_Snooze_Time_Interval_In_Seconds. Also available in Android.

Apr 6, 2022

KeyRelease Notes Description

MOBILE-7382

If you built routes without yet assigning them drivers, drivers can now view and self-assign those routes directly from the iOS driver app (App2). For example, if you plan routes based on particular vehicles rather than drivers. This aligns functionality with Android and App1.

Feb 23, 2022

(App2) Drivers can work for several organizations or several locations that use Bringg, by joining multiple teams. Each shift the driver logs in to the relevant team. The driver can now see the name of the team they are currently logged in to, the "active team," in the Driver App side menu, allowing them to clearly see that they have logged into the correct account.

MOBILE-7293

Added functionality to iOS App1 to be the same as App2, where drivers who are listed in multiple teams can (upon configuration) select the team they will join for a specific shift. This feature cannot be used with Delivery Blocks.

Note: If you start the same shift on multiple devices, the second device will not auto-select the active team. To resolve, end the shift on the first device and restart the shift on the second device.

Feb 1, 2022

KeyRelease Notes Description

MOBILE-7124

(App2) Drivers who are listed in multiple teams can (upon configuration) select the team they want to join for a specific shift. This feature can not be used with Delivery Blocks.

Jan 20, 2022

KeyRelease Notes Description
