Week of Jan 27 — Feb 2, 2026
Shareable live tracking links, billing portal, API key self-service, documentation portal, Bluetooth beacon rebuild, and AVL performance improvements.
Shareable tracking links, a self-service billing portal, API key management, a full documentation site, rebuilt beacon tracking, and major AVL performance gains.
Shareable Live Tracking Links
Public tracking pages
Share a live vehicle location with anyone — no login required. Generate a unique link per vehicle with configurable access controls, expiration dates, and custom branding.
Access modes available:
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Public | Anyone with the link can view |
| Email verified | Viewer must confirm their email |
| Email + code | Viewer must enter a verification code |
| Authorized only | Requires API authentication |
Custom branding on shared links
Tracking pages automatically display your organisation's logo, brand colours, and contact details. Each shared link reflects your brand, not ours.
Billing & Subscription Portal
Self-service billing
Manage your subscription directly from the dashboard. View your current plan, track usage, and update payment methods without contacting sales.
Usage tracking
Real-time visibility into your asset count versus your plan limits, with clear indicators when approaching or exceeding thresholds.
Subscription management
- View current plan and billing cycle
- Track active asset count against plan limits
- Access the billing portal for payment method updates
- Migration path from manual invoicing to card billing
API Key Management
Self-service API keys
Create and manage API keys directly from the dashboard — no need to contact support. Keys are standard Bearer tokens that work with every API endpoint.
Key features
- Named keys — Give each key a descriptive name (e.g. "Production Server", "CI/CD Pipeline")
- One-time display — Token is shown only once at creation for security
- Instant revocation — Revoke any key immediately if compromised
- Full API access — Each key provides the same access as your user account
Access API keys from Settings > API Access in the dashboard.
Real-Time Reporting
WebSocket-powered report notifications
Reports are now generated asynchronously with real-time status updates. When you request a report, you see live progress (queued, processing, complete) without refreshing the page.
Faster dashboard analytics
Dashboard statistics for distance, trips, idling time, and speed now load via an optimised async pipeline — eliminating timeouts on large date ranges.
New mileage reports
Three new mileage report types for fleet managers:
- Monthly mileage — Distance totals per vehicle per month
- Weekly mileage — Distance totals per vehicle per week
- Daily mileage — Distance totals per vehicle per day
All available in PDF, Excel, and JSON formats.
Documentation Portal
Comprehensive knowledge base
A full documentation site is now available at docs.yipii.io covering:
- Getting started — Quick start guides, authentication, API keys
- User guides — Step-by-step instructions for every feature
- Solutions — Industry-specific guides for fleet, logistics, and school transport
- API reference — Complete endpoint documentation with examples
Interactive API sandbox
Test WebSocket connections and report generation directly from the documentation — no code required.
Bluetooth Beacon Tracking (AVL)
Reliable beacon detection
Completely rebuilt how Bluetooth beacons (driver tags, asset tags, portable equipment) are detected, matched, and displayed. Beacons now appear consistently in live tracking without flickering or disappearing.
Vehicle-mounted beacon filtering
Beacons permanently installed in a vehicle are now correctly associated only with that vehicle, preventing false matches when vehicles are parked near each other.
Beacon history
Full detection history for beacons is now recorded per position update, giving you a complete audit trail of when and where beacons were detected.
AVL Performance & Reliability
Instant location updates
Geocoding is now served from an in-memory cache, eliminating delays from database lookups for vehicles that are stationary or moving slowly.
Non-blocking data processing
API calls and enrichment now run in parallel rather than sequentially, significantly reducing the time between a vehicle sending its position and it appearing on your map.
Smarter location matching
Tightened the precision of the address-matching engine to prevent nearby but incorrect street addresses from being assigned to a vehicle.
Out-of-order message protection
When a tracker sends a batch of historical data, the system now ensures your live view always shows the most recent position, not an outdated one.
Memory leak fix
Resolved a memory leak in the protocol decoders that could cause the server to slow down over extended periods. The system now runs stable indefinitely.
Database performance
Eliminated deadlock conditions that could briefly pause data ingestion during high-traffic periods. Added optimised indexes for faster trip and asset history queries.
Device Management
Remote device commands
Send reset and configuration commands to trackers directly from the dashboard. View command history to track which commands were sent and their status.
BLE beacon configuration
Toggle Bluetooth Low Energy scanning on compatible trackers from the device detail page — no need to physically access the device.
QR code scanner
Scan a tracker's QR code or barcode to instantly look up the device in your fleet. Available on mobile devices via the dashboard.
