Key updates you can't miss

Important Update: Mandatory GPS for Riders - Rolling Out This Wednesday!

Get ready for an important update to your WF App! Starting this Wednesday, GPS and Location Services will need to be enabled on rider's WF App to use the app. This change is being implemented to enhance customer experience by providing real-time delivery information and to improve the accuracy of delivery metrics.

What Your Riders Need to Do:

If they see a prompt about missing permissions, simply click 'Enable'. They will then be directed to device settings to turn on Location Services for the WF App. Once all necessary permissions are enabled, they are good to go!

Key Things to Note:

  • When is your location tracked? Your location is only tracked while you are on a shift.

  • Signal Impact? GPS or internet signal won't affect the app's usage; just the initial setting needs to be enabled.

  • Battery Life? We've worked hard to improve the app's battery usage, so this update should not significantly impact your phone's battery.

Please ask your riders to update the WF App to the latest version to have all the new features!

MVA V3 - Vehicle Assignment before Punch In: Go Live - Wednesday!

We’re making it easier and faster for riders to start their shifts with a new feature: vehicle pre-assignment in the WF App.

🔑 What’s Changing?

  • Option to assign a vehicle before punching in
    Riders will now be able to assign their vehicle up to 15min before shift start if they are at the hub, saving time at the start of the shift.

  • No more start screen and 2min timer: the start screen and 2 min timer for vehicle assignment will be removed:

    • Bike assigned at punch in → Go online immediately

    • No bike assigned at punch in → Temp Offline immediately until a vehicle is assigned

Please ask your riders to update the WF App to the latest version to have all the new features!

Rider Swipes - Additional Restriction to Prevent Double Swipes - live for iOS

>> Has already been live on Android - now also for iOS <<

We are releasing another change to the rider delivery flow in the WF App: there is now a 10-second timer after swiping ‘arrived’ until a rider can swipe ‘delivered’.

The goal of this change is to reduce double swipes, meaning riders swiping arrived and delivered within a few seconds after each other, as this leads to customer confusion, complaints, and inaccurate stats.

Riders should use the time between swiping arrived and delivered to unload the bags from the bike and make their way to the customer’s door. Only after the order has been handed over to the customer, should they swipe ‘delivered’.

After swiping 'delivered', the customer information is not available anymore.

Please make sure your riders have the latest WF App version and follow the process correctly.

Let’s keep the experience smooth and accurate for everyone! 🙏

  • Winter gear: Riders can order their Winter Bundle via the Equipment tab in their Workforce app starting Sep. 15.

  • Shipping date: All winter gear will be shipped to hubs starting October 1. Please encourage riders to place their orders before this date so they receive their gear promptly.

⚠️ Important

  • Riders who have previously received a winter bundle must not order again this season.
