Chat messages with dispatch
Call request a callback or call the office

A small number on a tab means something new is waiting there.

At the top of the Home screen you see the licence plate and your name 1, next to it whether the app is connected 2. Below that is the Current tour 3 with progress and next stop – tap it to open it.

Notice cards 4 only appear when there is something to do: an open tour, missing documents, an important message, a service date, expiring documents, an open briefing or open to-dos. Tap the card to go straight to the right place.

At the very bottom you find all menu items as tiles.

Tip

Your company decides which tiles you see. Anything that is not enabled for your vehicle is not shown at all.

More about the home screen

Header and current tour

At the very top you see the licence plate and a greeting with your name. If you drive as a team of two, both names are shown. To the right, a green dot with active shows that the app is connected; without network it shows offline in grey. If your company uses coins, your coin balance is shown below – tap it to open the coins, see Knowledge & coins.

The Current tour tile shows:

  • the route (from → to) and, if needed, the labels New or Changed,
  • the progress as a bar and as a number, e.g. "8/11 done",
  • the Next station with type, company and place – before a loading or unloading point also how long it will take, e.g. "1 h 20 min until loading in Hamburg".

If the tour has not been accepted or started yet, you can tap Accept tour or Start tour right on the tile. Tapping the tile or the next stop opens the tour – see Tours & stops.

All notice cards

Notice cards on the home screen, e.g. Documents incomplete, Important notice, Upcoming service appointments and Open todos
