Changelog

All changes and updates around VISOTASK.

v1.1.0

Time Tracking — legally compliant, AI-assisted, DATEV-ready

Feature Improvement

New Features

  • Time Tracking (new module): Legally compliant working-time tracking for field and office staff — from clocking in to payroll. GoBD-compliant with a tamper-proof clocking trail (hash chain).
  • ArbZG compliance: Automatic checking of breaks, maximum working hours and rest periods; violations are detected, acknowledged and logged in an audit-proof way.
  • Leave & absences: Self-service requests, approval workflow, year-end carryover with cap/expiry and a remaining-leave account.
  • Working-time models & working-time account: Full-time/part-time, flextime and shift; daily target, target-vs-actual balance, overtime and leave reports.
  • Premiums, cost centers & travel time: Night, weekend, public-holiday and overtime premiums (time-zone-correct), cost-center and project analysis, plus automatically calculated, billable travel time.
  • DATEV payroll export: Approved times as a DATEV “Lohn & Gehalt” file — with customer-specific wage-type mapping, export only for closed periods and immutable WORM snapshots (SHA-256).
  • Data fusion Ticket × Time × GPS × AI: Ticket-time attribution, field-service compliance radar, GPS audit and geofence auto-clocking — the edge over pure HR tools.
  • AI time estimation: Claude estimates the expected job duration from ticket type and history (with a rule-based fallback).
  • Predictive scheduling: Live utilization forecast, a transparent early burnout warning and re-scheduling suggestions.
  • EU-AI-Act cockpit: A log of all AI decisions with human oversight, co-determination evidence (works council/employees) and export for auditors and the works council.

Improvements

  • Team scope/roles: Team leads see only their own team in time tracking; admins see everyone.
  • Grouped admin navigation for time tracking (Operations · Master data · Analysis · Payroll & closing).
  • Mobile technician view: sticky header, round profile picture, theme and language selection in the menu.
  • 13 languages, fully translated.
v1.0.4

Team Management, Self-Service Billing & 13 Languages

Feature Improvement

New Features

  • Unified user & technician management: technicians are created as users with the “Technician” role — the technician profile is generated automatically. Existing technicians can be granted a login afterwards in one click.
  • Service areas with state & region: filtering, grouping and CSV import with an Excel template.
  • Onboarding checklist on the admin dashboard guides you step by step through setup (branding, areas, services, technicians, booking page).
  • Self-service billing: package management, plan changes and invoices centrally via your visotask.de account.

Improvements

  • The interface is being rolled out consistently in 13 languages (starting with the settings area).
  • Extra work is now a standalone module that can be enabled independently of checklists.
  • Profile pictures for users; password reset directly from user management.
v1.0.3

Booking Pages: Business Card, Contact Person & Branding

Feature Improvement

New Features

  • Business-card layout for public booking pages: a prominent profile card with logo, tagline, business hours, service area and social links next to the booking flow (Calendly style). Existing pages stay unchanged.
  • Personal contact person: an optional photo, name and position appear prominently on the booking page — building trust.
  • Company-branded booking URLs: booking links now carry your company slug in the path (e.g. /your-company/...).

Improvements

  • Consistent, cleaned-up list design for users, technicians, service areas and bookable services.
  • A new “Master data” menu group bundles bookable services, the service catalog and service areas in one place.
v1.0.2

GPS Proof Photos & 14-Day Trial — No Sales Call

Feature

New Features

  • GPS proof photo in the form builder: A photo stamped with date, address, GPS coordinates and a map pin — with configurable minimum accuracy. Ideal as solid evidence for insurance and audits.
  • 14-day free trial: Self-registration on visotask.de provisions your account fully automatically — no sales call needed, ready to go instantly.
  • Secure payment via Stripe: Hosted checkout with automatic tax calculation and VAT ID collection (EU B2B / reverse charge).
  • Trial banner: shows the remaining trial days and links to checkout in one click.

Improvements

  • Address resolution (reverse geocoding) for location data — without an external API key.
v1.0.1

Service Catalog, Evidence & Email Notifications

Feature Improvement

New Features

  • Service Catalog (LV): Searchable catalog with categories; line items with mandatory evidence (photo or comment) and a tamper-proof price snapshot. Included automatically in Professional (Lite) and Enterprise (Pro).
  • Extra work on tickets: Capture additional services directly on the job — freely or linked to the service catalog.
  • Photo evidence per line item: Multi-file upload with central storage in the documents area — audit- and insurance-ready.
  • Transactional emails live: Booking confirmation to customers, notification to the tenant, user invitation and password reset are now sent reliably.

Improvements

  • The ticket board now adapts responsively to screen width — no empty space on large screens, no forced scrolling on small ones.
  • Archive & trash directly in the ticket drawer.
  • More stable onboarding tour on mobile devices.
