Employee Updates - Plans for the Future

[h2]Hello Car Dealers![/h2]
The number of comments under our last devlog was truly amazing - thank you so much for all your feedback!

We’d love to reply to everyone, so here’s a quick summary of what we’re currently working on regarding the next employee updates.

  • New tasks for the receptionist - many of you pointed out that the office worker hasn’t had much to do. Soon, they’ll become your real assistant! They’ll be able to receive part deliveries and place them in your warehouse, as well as help move cars between repair, wash, bodywork, and paint zones.
  • Employee UI rework - we’re planning a full interface redesign and adding automation features. Combined with the receptionist’s new duties, this will save you plenty of time on everyday tasks.
  • Picking up vehicles from customers - employees will also handle the pickup of cars that you previously purchased from clients.


Does that sound good? Let us know in the comments - we love reading them 😊
You give us so much positive energy to keep going. Thank you!

Employee Update

[h2]Hello Car Dealers![/h2]
We’re bringing you the first update focused on staff management. Starting from reputation level 10 and office level 4, you’ll now unlock two new employee positions - one for mechanical repairs and another for the car wash. We’ve also expanded the employee pool, giving you more candidates to choose from.



Due to some scaling issues with the staff management app, we’ve temporarily disabled the tablet version. It will be back early next week.
The PC version works as usual.

Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for your continued support! 🚗

The staff update has been divided into several parts - we’ll be adding them gradually.
