Running a busy transport business means managing moving parts across multiple depots, drivers, and booking pipelines. At eCoachManager, we believe that software shouldn’t just store your data—it should empower you with clarity, efficiency, and total control.
Our latest product update, Version 6.5.3 (rolled out May 21–22, 2026), brings a suite of features and refinements designed to eliminate admin headaches, provide actionable insights, and keep your operation running like clockwork.
Here is a breakdown of what’s new and how these updates work for you.
1. Ultimate Control for Multi-Depot Operations: Internal Profile Filters
Managing multiple sites, branches, or company profiles used to mean jumping back and forth to keep track of work. No longer.
We’ve introduced a highly requested Internal Profile Filter across all core booking list pages (including Pending Quotes, Bookings, and Completed Jobs).
- The Benefit: If you operate multiple sites, you can now seamlessly filter bookings by specific internal company profiles via a quick dropdown menu.
- Smarter Workflows: The system securely remembers your selected profile as you move between pages or refresh your browser, saving you repetitive clicks. Rest assured, robust background controls ensure users only see the profiles they are explicitly authorised to access.
2. Precision Reporting: Driver ID Columns Added
Data is only valuable if it’s actionable. To help you drill down into driver utilisation, compliance, and payroll accuracy, we have integrated dedicated Driver ID columns directly into your reporting dashboards.
The Benefit: No more cross-referencing names or guessing which driver completed a specific run. This update delivers the ultimate triple advantage of clarity, efficiency, and command over your fleet metrics.
3. Smoother Admin: Account Customer Search & Email Updates
Fewer admin headaches mean more time spent growing your revenue. We’ve made two subtle but impactful user-experience upgrades:
- Account Customer Search: Added scroll bars to the search function so you can effortlessly browse large corporate, school, or broker account databases without losing your place.
- Professional Invoice Emails: Refined the header text on system-generated invoice emails to give your customers an even sleeker, more professional brand experience.
4. Under the Hood: Mapbox Migration & Depot Handling Phase 2
Behind the scenes, our development team has been hard at work future-proofing the core infrastructure of the platform:
- Mapbox Integration: Address filters have been fully migrated to Mapbox, ensuring highly accurate, blazing-fast address lookups and routing calculations when quoting journeys.
- Distance/Duration Fix: We corrected a behaviour where rejected pending changes would occasionally override distance or duration data, keeping your booking records perfectly accurate.
- Depot & Journey Config (Phase 2): We are continuing the rollout of our advanced depot handling mechanics, laying the groundwork for even smarter scheduling in future updates.
The Bottom Line
Whether you’re a small family coach operator looking to save an hour of admin a day, or a growing multi-depot fleet maximising vehicle utilisation, eCM Version 6.5.3 is built to give you full visibility and command over your business.
