Locate2u Core 3.8.0 Release Notes
Summary
Locate2u Core 3.8.0 delivers major performance improvements to location tracking infrastructure, expanded Integration API capabilities, and a significantly streamlined Uber carrier onboarding experience.
This release also enhances trip visibility with run schedule information and improves route management reliability.
Features
Integration API – Stop Import Endpoint
Feature Details:
(Enterprise Customer Feature)
- Introduced a new stop import endpoint in the Integration API, allowing customer-specific applications to create stops programmatically.
- TeamId and CustomerId are automatically derived from the authenticated app credentials.
- Stops with mismatched team or customer IDs are skipped automatically, with logging applied to maintain data integrity.
- This endpoint is available exclusively to customer-specific apps created in the App Portal.
Use Case:
Enterprise customers with external order or dispatch systems can now import stops directly into Locate2u using their dedicated integration credentials. Automatic scoping reduces payload complexity while ensuring strict data isolation.
Uber Self-Onboarding Wizard
(Carrier Marketplace Feature)
Feature Details:
- Introduced a self-service onboarding wizard for Uber Direct, replacing the previous manual, email-based activation process.
- Team administrators can complete onboarding directly via Settings → App Portal by submitting company name, email, and business location.
- Once submitted, the Uber carrier connection is immediately activated.
- Administrators receive an invitation email from Uber Direct to complete billing configuration.
- The wizard auto-populates fields from the team’s Business Entity or Team Profile when available.
Use Case:
Teams can now onboard with Uber Direct in minutes instead of days, without support intervention. This dramatically reduces setup time and accelerates access to Uber’s delivery network.
Run Schedule Display on Trip Details
Feature Details:
- Trips generated from a run schedule now display the originating run schedule name and run number in the trip details view.
- Displayed in the format: RunScheduleName (RunNumber).
- This field appears only for trips created from a run schedule; manually created trips are excluded.
Use Case:
Dispatch and operations teams can quickly trace trips back to their originating run schedules, improving transparency, troubleshooting, and verification of scheduled route execution.
Orders Import – Team Region Field
Feature Details:
- The orders import API now accepts an optional teamRegionId field.
- The system validates that the provided region belongs to the authenticated team.
