First run

Account setup

The four steps a driver completes once after first signing in, and what each step writes back to Catch-e.

After the tour, the driver completes an account setup of four steps. It takes about two minutes and runs once, not once per device. A progress bar shows the current step, and the driver can go back at any step.

Step 1: About you

The screen says "We have pre-filled what your employer sent us" and asks the driver to check it.

FieldSourceEditable in the app
NameThe Catch-e recordNo. Shown as verified. A driver who needs to change their legal name contacts your team.
Email addressThe address the driver signed in withNo
Date of birthThe Catch-e recordYes
Mobile numberThe Catch-e recordYes. Used for contact, not for signing in.
Residential addressThe Catch-e recordYes, with an address search
Postal addressThe Catch-e recordYes. The same as the residential address, or a different one.

Only the fields the driver changes are written back to Catch-e. An unchanged field writes nothing, and a cleared field never blanks the record.

Step 2: Your salary

The screen shows the gross annual salary, before tax and excluding superannuation, that the employer gave you, and asks the driver to adjust it only if it has changed. A note tells them it is used only for packaging calculations.

This is the one field a driver must complete. If the Catch-e record holds no salary, the field is empty and the driver must enter one to continue.

Step 3: Notifications

The screen lists the five kinds of message the app sends. It is a read-only list with no switches; the driver changes them later under Profile > Preferences.

TypeDescription shown to the driverStarts
Claims and approvalsThe moment a claim is approved, queried or paid into your account.On
Budget alertsA heads up when fuel, tyres or servicing is tracking over its yearly budget.On
Service and registrationLogbook services, rego renewals and tyre checks before they fall due.On
Account and statementsNew statements, deduction changes and lease updates from your provider.On
Offers and new vehicle dealsOccasional offers from your provider. Yours to turn off any time.Off

When the driver continues from this step, the phone asks once whether the app may send notifications.

Step 4: Before you start

The screen names your organisation and the driver's employer and lists the legal documents you have published for the brand, such as your Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy and Collection Notice.

  • Tapping a document opens the full text in the app. Once opened, the row shows Read.
  • The driver ticks the box to accept the documents and chooses Accept and finish. They can accept without opening every document.

The app records that set-up was completed, and when. The driver profile in the portal shows that date against Terms & conditions accepted and Privacy collection notice accepted. Set-up runs once; publishing a new version of a document does not bring it back.

Finishing

The final screen reads "You're all set" and confirms that the driver's details are with their employer and their lease is ready to track. Go to my dashboard opens Home.

Warning: Notifications are how the app tells a driver that a claim has been approved, a budget is running over or a statement is ready. The permission belongs to the phone and cannot be forced: only the driver can grant it, and only the driver can turn it back on. If they chose Don't Allow, push notifications cannot be delivered until they turn them on in the phone's settings; messages still arrive in the app's own Notifications list. A driver who sets the app up on a new phone is asked again. When a driver reports not receiving notifications, ask them to check the app's permissions in their phone settings first.
