A running log of what's new in MetaFleet, newest first. We've shipped 850+ updates since March, so if you looked at us a few months ago, look again.

Latest releases

New since August

Team Chat

Channels, groups, DMs and broadcasts inside MetaFleet. Tag a service order and your teammate opens it in one tap.

Ask your shop from your AI app

Ask questions and get work done from Claude, ChatGPT or Perplexity, on your live shop data.

Shift scheduling

Shifts, time off, overtime and swaps, and dispatch only offers jobs to techs who are on shift.

A QuickBooks sync center

Choose what syncs, see every run, and get a plain next step when a record needs attention.

A QuickBooks sync center

Choose what syncs, see every sync run, and get a plain next step when a record needs attention. Your parts catalog now syncs both ways, PM visit invoices flow to QuickBooks, and totals that don't match are flagged instead of buried.

Live

FleetNet jobs, answered where they came from

Every request is tagged with the network it came from and answered there. One online toggle opens or closes your shop, the dispatcher approves the work summary before the partner sees it, and each partner order can carry its own estimate approval limit.

Live

Towing, from first keystroke to invoice

Start a tow from the command bar in one keystroke, fix an arrival time without reopening the stop, and a finished tow moves to invoicing like any other order.

Live

Inspections ride along on the invoice

Completed inspection forms now attach to the invoice itself instead of a link, and dropdown answers carry through when you import your own PDF form.

Also shipped
  • Find any service order by its invoice number
  • Time clock entries that look wrong get flagged, and an admin can correct or void them
  • Optional automatic unit numbers for new vehicles

Released August 2026

Ask your shop from Claude, ChatGPT or Perplexity

Ask MetaFleet questions in plain English from the AI app you already use, like which trucks are due for PM this week, and tell it to do things. It works from your live data, within your permissions, and asks you to confirm before it changes anything.

Live

Team Chat

Chat built into MetaFleet, the way your crew already talks: channels, groups, direct messages and view-only broadcast channels, with files attached. Tag a service order in a message and your teammate opens it with one tap. A standing Tech Support channel gives techs one place to ask for help.

Live

Shift scheduling

Build a shift catalog and recurring schedules, handle time-off requests with PTO and sick balances, track overtime, and let techs swap shifts with a manager's approval. Techs see their week in My Schedule, and dispatch only offers jobs to techs who are on shift.

Released earlier this year (March to July 2026)

Live

Digital inspections and DVI, built from zero

A template library, a drag-and-drop builder, photos and signatures, and one tap to turn a failed item into a repair. Upload the paper form you already use and our AI rebuilds it digitally, then prints completed inspections back onto your form.

Live

Preventive maintenance programs

Enroll one truck or a whole fleet, track what's due by miles, hours or months, and send customers reminders before work is due. Appointments and bays live on one calendar, with reminders 24 hours and 3 hours before each visit.

Live

An AI assistant that reads photos

A tech photographs the problem and asks. The assistant already knows the job: the vehicle, VIN, complaint, work items and parts, and it stays on diesel and heavy-equipment topics.

Live

AI that reads your paperwork

Photograph a vendor receipt and MetaFleet drafts the purchase order for you to check. VINs, plates and odometers read from a picture. And when you switch, we import your customers, vehicles, parts and rates for you.

Live

Smart technician assignment

Jobs are offered to the best-fit tech by real drive time, skills and workload, one tech at a time with a countdown, then passed down the list and escalated to the dispatcher. Every pick comes with a one-sentence reason you can overrule.

Live

The Command Center

A live map of techs and jobs, the jobs blocked on parts, and today's PM visits, so you can see the whole operation on one screen.

Live

Parts from the nearest shelf

For each part on a job, MetaFleet finds the nearest location that has it in stock by real drive time, and the parts desk hands the kit to the assigned tech. Low-stock alerts fire at the minimum you set.

Live

QuickBooks Online sync

Customers, invoices, bills and purchase orders flow from MetaFleet to QuickBooks Online, payments sync both ways, and mismatches get flagged and retried. Each brand connects to its own books.

Live

More than one brand under one account

Run several businesses from one login, each with its own name on the invoice, its own Stripe payouts, QuickBooks setup and late-fee policy.

Live

A rebuilt customer portal

Fleet customers get a status timeline, a card that says the tech is on the way, estimate approval and online payment, plus branded PDFs for invoices, estimates and inspections.

Live

Billing that gets the money right

Rates priced by job-site time, so night, weekend and holiday work bills correctly. Taxes by state, county and city, late fees and interest, partial and batch payments, and reports for revenue, AR aging, daily payments and technician hours.

Also shipped
  • A faster, more secure platform
  • Correct time zones for every user
On the way

Coming in Q4

A few of the bigger things we're building now.

Coming Q4

Native iOS and Android apps

Today techs use MetaFleet in any phone browser. Native apps for both are on the way.

Coming Q4

A phone system that dispatches

Round-robin, call-center-style routing, and while the call is still going MetaFleet fills in whether it's a new or returning customer, the caller's name and number, the vehicle and the complaint. Your dispatcher just talks to the customer.

Coming Q4

An owner's dashboard

The numbers you run the business on in one place: AR and past-due invoices, technician efficiency and revenue.
