A Redesigned CabbiCore Console

The headline of this release is a full redesign of the CabbiCore console, alongside a handful of smaller improvements to Features, bulk tools, and customer ban workflows.

🧭 A Redesigned CabbiCore Console

The floating CabbiCore console has been rebuilt from the ground up. It now opens automatically on hover (switchable back to click in Console Settings) and stays available on every dispatch page, so Features is always within reach. Every popup and wizard across the extension now shares a single, consistent look, replacing the mix of styles that had built up over time.

A new refresh button sits directly in the console. If something looks out of date, one click clears every cache the extension keeps and reloads the page.

🧩 Features Panel Improvements

The Features panel now includes a search box, a "Go to page" button that jumps straight to an enabled feature, and a live count badge on the console. Browsing and requesting features is limited to fleet admins, keeping requests in the hands of people who can action them.

📁 Bulk Tools: CSV Instead of Google Sheets

Bulk Priority Schedules and Bulk Driver Templates no longer need a shared Google Sheet. Both now use a simple upload and download CSV flow instead.

🚫 Customer Ban Improvements

Ban requests can now include several bookings in one go, each with its own amount and driver reference. Banning or unbanning a customer from the Users page now refreshes the table automatically, and the Pending Bans screen lists multiple bookings clearly, one per line.

⚙️ Other Improvements

• Hook Templates is now a shared library across CabbiCore fleets, so an approved template from one fleet can be reused by others

• Bulk driver, vehicle, and zone updates now pace themselves automatically, with an adjustable delay in Console Settings

• General performance improvements to reduce repeated network requests

❤️ Thank You

These updates continue our work to make CabbiCore more reliable and easier to use across different fleet setups. If anything does not look right, please contact us through the support form.

5.3 to 6.3 > Feature Access Requests, Customer Tools & Bulk Updates

This release window brings together updates focused on easier feature access, safer customer management, and faster bulk update tools.

Several new tools have been added, and selected existing tools have been improved across support, migration, compliance, and day-to-day operational tasks.

Some tools in this release may not be enabled by default for every fleet.

Previously, if you wanted access to a feature that was not enabled for your fleet, you had to contact support. This release introduces a new feature request option directly inside the plugin, making it much easier to ask for access.

🧩 Feature Access Requests

A new Features area has been added to the plugin popup. This allows supported users to view features for their fleet and request access to features that are not currently active.

Feature access requests are only visible to iCabbi users who have access to the iCabbi Admin area.

This now supports:

• Viewing active features

• Seeing features that may be available for the current page or fleet

• Requesting access directly from the plugin

  

Once a request has been submitted, we will review it and aim to deal with it as fast as possible.

🧾 Anonymise Customers

A new Anonymise Customers tool has been added for supported fleets. This tool helps authorised users process customer anonymisation from a CSV, with a dry run available before making live changes.

This supports:

• Uploading customers by phone number or customer ID

• Downloading an anonymisation template

• Running a dry run before making changes

• Processing live anonymisation with confirmation

• Downloading a result log after processing

Live anonymisation is permanent and cannot be undone, so the tool includes confirmation steps before any live changes are made.

⚙️ Bulk Attribute Setting

A new Bulk Attribute Setting tool has been added for driver and vehicle records. This helps authorised users update attributes across multiple drivers or vehicles without opening each record manually.

This supports:

• Setting driver attributes in bulk

• Setting vehicle attributes in bulk

• Selecting all records or selected records only

• Uploading a CSV of driver or vehicle records

• Downloading a CSV template

🚫 Customer Ban Updates

Customer Ban tools have also been improved during this release window.

This now supports:

• Submitting customer ban requests from operator pages

• Using structured ban reasons

• Adding optional or required booking IDs, amounts, driver refs, and crime references

These updates are designed to make customer ban and unban workflows clearer, safer, and easier to audit.

❤️ Thank You

CabbiCore is now supporting over 330 users, and these updates continue our work to make it more useful, reliable, and easier to manage across different fleet setups.

As always, if you notice anything that does not look right, please contact us through the support form so we can investigate.

4.8 to 5.3 > Ban Management & Stuck Job Support

CabbiCore is now used by over 315 users, and this release window brings together a number of updates focused on safer customer ban management, stuck job support, and selected fleet-specific tools.

Several new tools have been added, and selected existing tools have been improved to make CabbiCore more useful across support, migration, and day-to-day operational tasks.

Some tools in this release may not be enabled by default for every fleet. If you are interested in using a feature that is not currently available for your fleet, please contact CabbiCore support.

🚫 Customer Ban Tools

CabbiCore now includes new Customer Ban tools for supported fleets, giving authorised users safer and more consistent ways to manage banned customers.

CabbiCore now supports:

• Exporting currently banned customers to CSV

• Downloading a customer ban import template

• Importing customer IDs to unban selected customers

• Unbanning all currently banned customers

• Requiring a reason when a customer ban is requested

• Reviewing pending customer ban requests

• Approving or removing pending ban requests

• Managing users who are allowed to approve customer bans

When a customer ban is approved, CabbiCore can also add a customer note including the ban reason and optional booking ID.

For fleets using the approval workflow, non-approver users can submit a ban request instead of directly banning the customer. Approvers can then review the request, edit the reason if needed, and either approve the ban or remove the request.

🧹 Clear Stuck Jobs

CabbiCore now includes a Clear Stuck Jobs tool for supported fleets. This action typically had to be done by iCabbi support where jobs would randomly get stuck on occasions.

This tool helps authorised users find a driver, view current jobs returned against that driver, and complete jobs that are stuck.

CabbiCore now supports:

• Searching drivers by ref, name, or ID

• Refreshing the driver list

• Viewing clearable jobs before taking action

• Completing selected stuck jobs

• Blocking completion for future pickup jobs

🧩 Smaller Updates & Fleet-Specific Tools

A few additional updates have also been included in this release window:

• Third-party zone export tools: CabbiCore now includes tools to help export zone data from selected third-party systems for migration and setup workflows.

• Webhook Logs update: For supported fleet-specific setups, Webhook Logs has been updated with improved time zone handling and clearer local time zone selection.

• Booking Time Zone: For supported fleet-specific setups, CabbiCore can show converted booking times based on zone tags, helping operators understand pickup times across different time zones.

If you would like to use any of these tools and they are not currently available for your fleet, please contact CabbiCore support.

❤️ Thank You

CabbiCore is now supporting over 315 users, and these updates continue our work to make it more useful, reliable, and easier to manage across different fleet setups.

Versions 4.0 to 4.7

This release window brings together a number of CabbiCore updates across Zone Profiles, Zone Fusion, import tools, and selected fleet-specific workflows.

Several new tools have been added, existing import flows have been made easier to use across larger fleets, and behind-the-scenes reliability has been improved to make CabbiCore more dependable across different page layouts and configurations.

Some tools in this release are feature flagged and may not be enabled by default for every fleet. If you are interested in using a feature that is not currently available for your fleet, please contact CabbiCore support.

🗺 New Zone Profile Tools

CabbiCore now includes a new set of Zone Profile tools, designed to make larger Zone Profile changes easier, safer, and more repeatable.

These tools are useful when backing up existing configuration, applying changes across multiple profiles, or copying setup between sites.

CabbiCore now supports:

• Exporting selected zone profiles and sites to JSON

• Importing previously exported Zone Profile data

• Bulk updating zone profile backup groups across selected profiles and sites

• Bulk updating per-zone settings across selected profiles and sites

• Copying zone profile setup from one site to other sites using iCabbi's Zone Fusion

Exports include both backup group data and per-zone settings, giving users a more complete way to back up, review, reuse, and apply Zone Profile configurations.

The Zone Profile tools include a dedicated bulk update interface with a wider layout.

📥 Fixed Fare and Tariff Import Updates

Fixed Fare Import and Tariff Import now support site selection across paginated site lists.

Previously, site selection could be limited when fleets had larger numbers of sites spread across multiple pages. This update makes it easier to select the sites you need, even when they are not all visible on the first page.

⏱ Zone Fusion Bulk Lead Times

Zone Fusion Bulk Lead Times includes clearer save progress, success messages, and error feedback.

Lead time saving is also more reliable, with better handling for inherited and default values.

iCabbi’s Zone Fusion is not publicly released yet and is currently only available in a testing environment.

🧩 Fleet-Specific Updates

A small number of fleet-specific updates were also included in these releases.

These covered selected improvements for rule removal workflows, voucher reference management, and wallboard driver message handling.

These changes only apply where the relevant CabbiCore features are enabled for a fleet.

If you are interested in using any feature-flagged CabbiCore tools, please contact CabbiCore support.

❤️ Thank You

These updates continue our work to make CabbiCore more useful, reliable, and easier to manage across different fleet setups.

CabbiCore Version 3.9

This is a small maintenance release focused on usability and performance, with no new fleet-facing features in this version.

🔔 Smarter Release Notes

We have introduced passive release notes for smaller updates.

Release notes will now only open automatically for major releases. Smaller updates will be delivered quietly, helping avoid interruptions during active work. Release notes remain accessible at any time.

⚡ Performance Improvements

Company Settings Caching

Company settings are now cached for up to 24 hours instead of being requested on every page load.

This improves loading times and reduces server load.

If you need to refresh settings immediately, you can use “Empty Cache & Hard Reload” in the CabbiCore plugin popup.

📌 Reminder: Version 3.8 Update

In Version 3.8, we added a bulk re-save drivers option for driver templates.

This allows all drivers to be saved with their current settings, helping fix occasional vehicle linking issues after iCabbi imports and removing the need for manual re-saving.

🛠 Summary

• Less disruptive update notifications

• Faster performance through caching

• Improved bulk template reliability

CabbiCore Version 3.7

This release introduces powerful new bulk management tools for drivers and vehicles, helping you save time on one of the most tedious admin tasks.

You can now bulk assign sites and primary sites directly from the CabbiCore console when viewing:

Manage > Drivers
Manage > Vehicles

With the new tools, you can:

• Select all drivers or vehicles

• Filter by reference matching strings

• Filter by current site

• Select specific ranges

• Apply multiple sites and a primary site in seconds

• Upload a CSV to assign sites

Previously, this kind of bulk management was only possible via the API. It is now fully available in the CabbiCore console, making large-scale updates faster and far more convenient.

🚖 Fleet-Specific Improvements

Two new fleet-specific features have been introduced and are currently feature-flagged, meaning they are enabled only for selected fleets. If your fleet would like access to either feature, please contact support and we will be happy to enable them.

1. Operator Screen Message Cleanup (Version 3.6)
A feature to automatically remove driver chat re-confirm prebook bidding messages from the operator screen.

These messages were creating unnecessary noise and distraction for operators, and this update helps keep the interface cleaner and more focused.

2. Driver Messages on Dispatch Wallboard (Version 3.5)
A feature to restore driver messages on the dispatch wallboard.

A previous dispatch update removed these messages, which some fleets relied on for operational awareness. While we understand that iCabbi are looking to reintroduce this in a future release, this feature provides a temporary solution in the meantime.

📊 Event Tracking (Lightweight & Anonymous)

We have introduced some basic event tracking to help us understand how features are being used (for example, how often fixed fares are imported).

This does not track any personal data and is purely used to guide future improvements and recognise value.

🛠 Other Improvements

• Removed a legacy currency conversion feature that is no longer required, helping keep CabbiCore lightweight and efficient

• Moved "Bulk Driver Templates" into the CabbiCore console on Manage > Drivers (previously, you had to go to the bulk edit tab)
