Late September, The Waiting List
A Car That Already Has a Job
Managers write the work in the Hub. Avis Maintenance opens ASSIGNED — grouped by MVA, in-progress first, leftover cars still on top the next morning. Tap a row. The service is locked. Finish it and the next job on that car is waiting. Type an MVA on a new card and ASSIGNED TO THIS VEHICLE lights up. Any technician punched in at that lot can take it.
A Shelf You Can Read From
Reserve Fleetcare managers open TIRES next to SHORTAGES. Search size, manufacturer, model. STOCK AT Central. LOW STOCK and OUT sit on the SKU before anyone walks the bin. Avis still does not pull rubber from that shelf — they never supplied it.
A Camera That Knows the Brand
Hertz wants the unit sticker: owning area, vehicle number, odometer. Sixt wants the plate, the VIN, the keytag, and the PO. Enterprise wants the windshield, the VIN, the keytag — and Punch stopped asking for an MVA they do not have. Avis oil changes include the rotation: left side, right side, both tires off in the frame. Save stays locked until the camera has every slot.
Sick or Vacation, Said Once
Time Off on every employee card asks Sick Day or PTO first. A multi-day vacation makes you count the days before it writes.
September is running out of light. The cars were already here. We put their names on a list. Punch in.
Keep punching,
The Unique Punch Team
P.S.2.0.8 taught the empty bin to write a PO and put every lot on one board. This week the Hub started handing work down, Reserve learned to read the tire shelf, and the camera learned which brand it was standing in. The lemonade from 2.0.6 still stands. September can keep the last heat. We kept the list.
2.0.8
Early September, Empty Bins
A Tire That Isn't There
The shelf said zero. The job still has a car. Report a missing tire from Tire Change without finishing the card — size, speed rating, the MVA if you have it. The lot keeps moving.
The Bin That Writes Its Own Order
Managers, owners, and quartermasters open SHORTAGES on Reserve. Buy cuts a Supreme PO in your name, already approved. Transfer it. Deny it. Mark it received when the rubber hits the dock. Supervisors see their crew's open bins.
Every Lot on One Screen
Vin Overview puts every location of the tenant on one board. Pick a day or a Sunday-to-Saturday week. Cleaning, Maintenance, or both. Tasks, hours, profit — and how today sits next to yesterday.
The Menu That Follows the Yard
Service names and prices come from the lot you are standing in. Switch rental companies and leftover proof from the last one stays on the card. Edit a job with no photos and Save does not hold you hostage.
A Lens That Keeps Its Head
The plate scanner stopped asking for 4K frames. Walk the lot on an iPhone and the camera stays up.
September showed up with heat and empty bins. We taught the shelf to speak and the lots to stand in one line. Punch in.
Keep punching,
The Unique Punch Team
P.S.2.0.7 kept the proof. This week the bin went empty, so we taught it to write a PO, put every lot on one board, and told the plate camera to stop eating the phone. The lemonade from 2.0.6 still stands. September can keep the heat. We kept the rubber coming.
2.0.7
Late August, Hard Proof
Maintenance That Can Prove It
The lot asked for photos. We made them required. Avis and Hertz want MVA, VIN, and the odometer. Sixt wants the VIN plate, a 10-digit PO, and the miles. Enterprise wants the door VIN, the keytag, and the odometer. Save stays locked until the camera has every slot.
Tires That Leave the Shelf
Enterprise tire repair and tire change add damage, fixed, and size shots — plus speed rating. Pick the SKU from Central stock. A tire change pulls one unit; delete or swap the job and the shelf gets it back. Rotation still just rotates.
Open the Envelope
Finished work with photos gets a PHOTOS row. Tap it. See what was shot, labeled by slot, without hunting for files.
A Splash That Packs Its Own Fonts
Roboto and Roboto Mono travel in the box. Splash and login no longer phone home for fonts. A dead selfie opens a broken-image tile instead of a fatal. Walk out of the camera while it is still saying INITIALIZING and we let the lens go.
August was supposed to be empty. We taught Maintenance to keep receipts and taught the shelf to count. Punch in.
Keep punching,
The Unique Punch Team
P.S.Last week we said nothing much happens in August. Then we made the camera a clerk, the tire bin a ledger, and the splash pack its own fonts. The lemonade from 2.0.6 still stands. September can have the heat. We kept the proof.
2.0.5
Dog Days, Live Numbers
VIN Collect: One Bucket at a Time
Cleaning and Maintenance no longer share a stage. Pick the crew you mean, read a Sunday-to-Saturday week, and watch W2 payroll carry the 12.5% employer load. Tasks, hours, revenue - the same numbers the hub already believed.
A Splash That Knows When to Sit Down
The full terminal theater plays at most once a day. Come back from a kill and you get the logo, the real boot step, and the door. Splash time is work time, not a show we made you sit through.
Location, Said Out Loud
We tell you what GPS we collect, when it runs in the background, and that it stops when the shift ends - before the system prompt. Maps stopped ambushing you for permission. Revoke access and we close the open shift instead of crashing the clock.
Schedules That Don't Wait for Pull-to-Refresh
Direct reports stream in live. The roster paints from cache while the server catches up, so the week is on screen before the spinner used to finish.
Errands, Less Friction
Gas expenses still remember your favorite vehicle; the list just gets there faster. Photos and files go through the picker Android actually allows - no broad storage grab for a receipt.
The dog days are supposed to be slow. The numbers got faster. Punch in.
Keep punching,
The Unique Punch Team
P.S.They say nothing much happens in August. We made VIN Collect match the hub, taught the splash some manners, and asked for location like adults. The lemonade is on you.
April Showers, May Power
Academy: Class Is in Session
Browse and subscribe to courses, manage class sessions, and stay on top of announcements-right inside the app. Sharpen the team without leaving the punch clock.
Al Shift Planner with Drop Sheet Analysis
Build smarter schedules with cached drop-sheet Al, a peak-balance slider, and fractional-hour shifts that match real demand. The Gantt chart shows the whole hour; the planner shows the whole picture.
Live Manager & Supervisor Review
Real-time streams for users and shifts, including former teammates. Reload less, decide faster.
Sharper Metrics & Shift Insights
Cleaner charts, smarter calculators, and richer dashboards across employee and shifts views. The numbers finally read themselves.
Smoother Punches & Breaks
Loading indicators, clearer status messages, and tap-disabling while we work. Double-punch insurance, included.
Maintenance & Accident Reports, Leveled Up
MVA capture for accidents, smarter task selection, default tire-tread values, and submit-blocker hints that explain what's missing instead of just judging you.
Auth & Splash Polish
A proper splash for unsettled auth, smoother first-time syncs, and live time-card refreshes that update while you watch.
Spring brought the showers; we brought the power. Punch in, plan smarter, and let the rest of May unfold.
Keep punching,
The Unique Punch Team
P.S.They say April showers bring May flowers. We brought Al drop-sheet planning and a whole Academy. The flowers are on you.
2.0.0
Spring Cleaning, Done Right
Multi-Location Audits
Launch audits per location, resume sessions where you left off, and track filter usage with date presets. Session persistence means your data survives even that accidental app close.
Gas Expense Tracking
Log fuel costs with receipt uploads and vehicle selection, organized by location. Less guesswork, more visibility.
Accident Reports + Video
Capture video alongside photos. Document everything-details matter when it matters most.
Grid Schedule View
Clean grid layout with one-tap PDF export. Spreadsheet energy, meet actual clarity.
Favorite Locations
Star your go-to spots in VIN Collect-they float to the top. Switching sites is faster than your coffee order.
Performance Boost
Cached employee and vehicle data, smarter auth handling, fewer spinners. More doing, less waiting.
Fresh App Icon
New look, same reliable punch.
Your multi-location workflow is now first-class-faster, smarter, and built for how you actually work.
Keep punching,
The Unique Punch Team
P.S.No spreadsheets were harmed in the making of this update. The loading spinners, however, have been put on notice.
Your Gift List is Ready
VIN Scanner: Precision Mode Unlocked
We've supercharged VIN scanning with continuous focus mode and smarter image rotation. No more squinting or repositioning-just point, scan, and go. It's so smooth, even Rudolph would be impressed.
Oil Filter Verification System
Track your oil change tasks down to the filter level. Scan, verify, and log filters with barcode scanning integration. Your inventory management just got a whole lot tighter.
Tire Tread Depth Tracking
New to car wash tasks: tire tread depth tracking. Keep an eye on those tires and document everything. Winter roads demand attention-so does great service.
Location Auto-Retry with Progressive Feedback
GPS acting up? Our new location system now auto-retries with real-time feedback, so you're never stuck waiting to clock in. Patience is a virtue, but so is speed.
Enhanced Shift Management & Audit Trails
Soft delete functionality, revision history, and audit metadata for shifts. Every change is tracked, every edit is logged. Accountability has never looked so good.
Why It Matters?
The end of the year deserves tools that work as hard as you do. We took your feedback, stuffed it in our development stocking, and pulled out features that make a real difference. Less friction, more function.
The Result?
Your workflow just got the gift of efficiency. Same reliable core you know and trust, now with new capabilities that keep you moving-even through the busiest season.
As always, your time matters. We're here to make sure tracking it is seamless (and maybe a little festive).
Keep punching,
The Unique Punch Team
P.S.No gingerbread was harmed in the making of this update. The coffee, however, didn't stand a chance.
