At Metafour we are committed to ensuring that our software stays at the cutting-edge of technology. Our product development team work hard to ensure that the system contains everything you need to remain ahead of your competitors, using current customer demands, industry trends, and their years of experience as inspiration. Integral to that is our regular six-week updates.
One of the major developments for v8.9 occurs with our active driver screen. In order to offer your operations team more control over your drivers and their routes, the screen has been upgraded to include even more functionality. Sameday jobs can now be dragged and dropped into different orders, so you can prioritise specific jobs or customise your driver’s routes. The screen also features an estimated arrival time for these deliveries, and a map with a milestone-based row-colourisation.

Additionally, we have been working on improving our list of integrations. Addison Lee live rates and bookings can now be made via our system, we now offer DHL returns and automated pickups, whilst our Hermes integration now includes text notifications and returns.
After listening to customer feedback, we have also improved our Sage 50 exporter. Your data is now able to be split down by tax code, in order to make your accounting as easy as possible.
We have more exciting new functionality due to be added over the next few months. Exception reporting will be one of the most important additions to our software, as you will quickly and easily be able to flag up any variations from your expected details. Piece pricing, audit logs, and multi-drop features are also all due to be included.
If you have any questions about any of these updates, or if there are any updates you would like to see added to our release schedule, please call us on 020 7912 2000 or email sales@metafour.com.
