An address entered by hand now carries a real map pin, so routing agrees with what's printed. New booking asks for the day and time up front, customer records are editable with proper addresses, and a bike sale can be logged from a phone with no register in sight.
An address picked from the search dropdown always carried its map position, but one typed by hand, 12 Wattle Lane, say, saved as text alone. Typed addresses now geocode the same way, so the pin, the route and the printed address all agree. It matters most on pickups and mobile jobs, where the address is the job.
Which day you got used to depend on where in the calendar you clicked, so a booking started from the week view landed on that week's Monday and had to be dragged into place. Day and start time are now fields on the form itself, so what you pick is what gets booked. Customer search also got sharper: typing a first name ranks people who have actually booked with you first, rather than matching on surname and burying the regular you were looking for.
Addresses now show on the customer record and in the lookup list, which matters for an imported shop whose addresses previously only surfaced as text in the notes field. Names, emails, phone numbers, addresses and notes are all editable too, so a typo or a customer who moved house doesn't have to wait for their next booking. Search matches on any word you type, so a full name works instead of failing because no single field held it.
Recording a bike sale used to require an email address, which left a walk-in who wouldn't give one unrecordable. Email and phone are each optional now as long as you have one of them. A sale files the buyer as a proper customer automatically, and picking a name from the returning-customer lookup fills in their details and their bike.
A third booking type for jobs where the mechanic goes to the customer instead of collecting the bike. It shows up as its own option on the New booking menu.
A share house or a workplace counter phone can sit behind more than one customer. Records on a shared number are now told apart by name as well as number.
Several pages were fetching the same information twice, once through the page's own cache and once directly. Trimming the duplicate calls cut some loads from over a second to well under a tenth of that.
If a service is listed at 120 minutes but you've only ever booked 15 for it, the editor flags the mismatch rather than quietly under-booking your bench time.
