We have two significant release updates for 2026. The 1.15 release will be pushed to Production today. We have been running live on Staging (United Auto Wash sites) for the past ~2 months while finalizing updates. The following updates will be available either immediately within the CMP or via controller replacements as appropriate.
Customer Management Portal (CMP)
- Wash pass ordering can now be set for online and mobile visibility (select Wash Passes then yellow "Order Wash Passes" button top right).
- All transactions now show a merchant terminal ID.
- VIA Card can be enabled/disabled at the Wash Pass level (previously it was at the account level).
- PLACEHOLDER - Initial Text Campaigns are visible, but not enabled yet. This is foundational work for the upcoming release.
- Device number now displays for self-serve usage on retail payment and also corrects the indexing for Site Level Membership reporting.
- The repeating promo retail is locked to 4 digits.
- Header rows are now included on all exports.
- Bulk codes previously permitted some duplication. This has been corrected.
- The text receipt landing page has been built and is foundational for the upcoming release of Branded Text Receipts.
- Plate confidence is now shown on export.

- RFID codes are now visible from the mobile browser view.
- RFID tag threshold properly sets now.
- A filter was added to prevent RFID duplicates when using the import tool.
- When a vehicle is deleted or a pass expires, the RFID association will automatically remove permitting the immediate reassignment of the RFID tag.
- The RFID link that takes you directly to the vehicle is now functioning.

- Removed the range and kept a minimum value of 0 on the license plate failure count on the consumer edit page.
- Added a field to the consumer details to show if a token is on file.

- Improved navigation flow when selecting "multiple passes" button.
- Remove limit on uses of online promos.
- Added a double confirmation with a modal before a Wash Pass is deleted from the CMP.
- VIA Guard additions were previously reported as two transactions in the CMP. This has been consolidated to one.
- There was a potential error when filtering consumer passes that would incorrectly show duplicate passes. This has been corrected.
- Validation errors are now shown in red when creating wash passes or entering consumer data.
- Filtering transactions by name previously only showed a subset of the transaction base. All filtered transactions are now presented.

iOS & Android App
- The consumer can no longer delete their last vehicle from the app.
- The explainer video has been moved from YouTube to Vimeo to prevent YouTube's advertisement injection.
- The VIA Guard modal could get cut off on Android. Auto scaling was added to prevent this.

- Tax shown as a line item.
- Use count decrementing on multi-product wash passes was corrected.
- The vehicle update flow was corrected.
- The ability to scan a Mobile Wallet Kiosk and/or QR Pay Station from your phone and activate the car wash was added. The app previously only activated ancillary wash products. This is foundational for pay station redundancy and eliminating the requirements for a pay station entirely as the world transitions to mobile centric. Note: a future app update will eliminate the requirement to select the type of scan (vac, self-serve, air, etc.) and move to a "Scan QR" selection.
- Note the iOS & Android apps may take another couple days to be fully released by Apple and Google.
Online
