Version 1.5 – Smarter Scheduling, Smarter Charging

We’re excited to announce the release of ConnectFSM v1.5.  A powerful update focused on improving planning, streamlining operations, and giving you more control over how you charge for travel.

Whether you’re managing recurring maintenance, dispatching engineers from multiple depots, or looking to simplify mobile workflows, this update brings meaningful improvements that matter to your day-to-day.

 

Scheduled Maintenance with Flexible Control

Recurring jobs just got smarter. You can now create maintenance schedules tied to assets and set rules for how they should adapt when a job is completed early or late. No more messy rescheduling, your plans stay aligned with real-world activity.

 

Automatic Route Calculation

ConnectFSM now handles route optimisation automatically. It uses real travel data to minimise driving time and ensure the right engineer is always on the most efficient route.

 

Automatic Travel Charge Calculation

Charges for travel can now be calculated ahead of time based on actual route data. This gives you a clear, consistent way to price jobs. No surprises, no guesswork.

 

Depot Support

Managing more than one depot? No problem. You can now assign engineers, assets, and jobs to specific depots, helping you stay organised across multiple locations.

 

Mileage Thresholds for Charging

Need to offer free mileage up to a certain limit? With this update, you can set mileage allowances per client or per job. Travel costs are only triggered when that threshold is exceeded.

 

On-the-Go Improvements for the Mobile App

Quick Job Start

Got an engineer on site without a scheduled job? They can now start a new job instantly based on their current location. Perfect for emergency work or quick fixes.

 

Version 1.5 is all about removing friction: in planning, billing, and execution. We’re building tools that work the way you do.
