We have added better trailer & chassis and Start/End of day activity support within the application. You will be able to select from a new set of actions in the order input screen to enhance tracking of resources outside of stops.

The new actions in the order input are:

All of these are available for Goods and Owned container (renamed to Owned container/trailer) transport services. For all of the above actions, you will be able to split to add parking, cleaning or intermodal connections.

You can see the full list of options HERE.

All resources on the planning board map were shown, which could get crowded when multiple resources from the same trip are shown as separate dots. Now, resource dots from the same trip are merged. When clicked on the “merged” dot, a list of all resources which have provided the latest updates (ie: location / temperature updates, etc) are now shown.

The layout to input piece and total dimensions for consignments has changed. The TABS to choose between showing only total dimensions, or showing total dimensions and piece dimensions has been removed.

The tabs are replaced with an add / delete piece dimensions button, making the action more explicit. Making all the data available on the same screen reduces any issues where data is entered, but not saved before moving off the screen which often required the user to re-enter data again.

Incoterms define the responsibilities of sellers and buyers in the transaction (e.g. insurance). The new additional field “Incoterm” can now be enabled for a tenant in the configuration window, on order level and on trip level.

Through a dropdown, users can specify the Incoterm (if applicable) to an order or trip.

Now when scanning documents and matching paperwork, you can choose to match by the container number on the order.

It is now possible to toggle a new column to show in the Orders and Trips Tables, which makes INVOICE number visible.

Use the Edit Columns button to toggle ON the Invoice (in orders), or Purchase Invoice (in Trips) options.

A default preference can be set for each customer. When orders to invoice where selected from multiple customers, the customer preference was ignored, instead a default grouping was applied. Now, the customer preference is kept.

When invoicing orders, one can specify how the order invoices should be sent to the customer (per x amount, grouped by container type, etc).

Once an order was completed the last status shown in the Customer Portal was 'Delivered'. This created a lack of visibility for users in the Customer Portal when trying to determine orders that were invoiced. The Portal has been updated to now include the INVOICED status. This includes a new TAB (Invoiced) as well as displaying the status 'Invoiced' next to the Order number. This improves the user experience, making it more transparent when looking for invoiced orders.

When configuring a RATE CARD, there is currently an option to set a default increase, with a certain % for revenue pricelists; when using a specific metric (Distance / Time). When the rate card is set, using either a Formula or Price Table, and there is a metric set for either Distance or Time (Duration / Waiting Time), it is now possible to set a default % to DECREASE for cost pricelists

When adding a new location, the address found by google (shown on the map) could differ from the address filled in the form.

To make this more clear a warning is now shown when the address differs from the google address. The warning also shows a button to replace the address in the form with the one Google provided if this is the preferred address.

It is now even more convenient to extract data from your Qargo Tenant. Before it was just the order list where you could select individual rows to export, but this has now been extended to:

There are certain tasks that are very important and that you want to be more clearly displayed when they are completed/outstanding. By leveraging the TAG functionality in the TASK, tags can now automatically set once a task is completed, giving improvement to the overall visibility.

We used to only show the general status in to plan with a filter whether there was a status or not. Now you have the full flexibility over all statuses and can filter on specific statuses. Before on the left, NEW on the right:

The cargo column in the Order table and To Plan table is now clickable and will open the order to edit the cargo properties (e.g. weight / quantity) of the first consignment in the selected order.

When multiple consignments are present, an alert is showed to the user to indicate they are editing the first one.

We have added more options to the Customisation toggles that are available in the Planning board. These toggle options will allow you to be more selective in what you are able to add to your board; and will help to improve overall granularity of what is possible to display. The new customisation view has been re-ordered to make more logical groupings.

NEW PLANNING BOARD - Customise options:

NEW 3 customisable views available.

It is now possible to see secondary resources that are allocated to either an order or a trip, directly from the Order View. The Container/Trailer column now shows both resources assigned to the ORDER or TRIP RESOURCE.

It is possible to Assign or Update resources directly from these fields.

A new column has been added to the orders table in Qargo to display the stop durations for trips, showing all collection and delivery. This feature is enabled by default (but can be turned off in the EDIT COLUMNS panel), and will improve visibility of waiting hours on trips.

The individual wait times are shown by Collection / Delivery stops. These will pull from the order details and the actual times when the load completes. The total times are consolidated and shown in the line below the stop times.

We have added some CRM functionality to the customer list and customer detail page. Users can now add a follow-up date to the customer and will then automatically be set as the follow-up responsible.

Updates can be made directly on the Customer by clicking on the date. Past due dates will turn orange and filtering on the column will allow users to easily identify customers that require follow up.

For trips with multiple orders, there is now the possibility to manually edit the percentage of the cost / revenue assigned to each order. Previously the cost was allocated as percentage (%) only, this update now allows users to enter a specific cost in either format:

You can find more information in the full article HERE.

We now split up the toggles that determine if we should calculate the route versus if the resources are only shown on the pallet network planning. You now have the choice which of the two you want to use.

When sending emails to multiple recipients, a new option has been added to configure how they are sent. You can send a separate email to each recipient (this is the previous behaviour and also the default), or send a single mail with multiple recipients.

The default setting behaviour is to send a separate email per user, it is possible to change this in Configuration > Task settings if you prefer to send 1 email to multiple users. It will include all the users in the TO: address line.

The Blocked toggle for customers has been replaced with a STATUS dropdown, allowing more granular permissions for order creation. To learn more about CUSTOMERS in Qargo, click HERE.

We added some new functionality to the Outlook add-in to improve working with email attachments. In summary:

CUSTOMERS

Adding Documents to your customer profiles is now possible. You will see a new section titled 'Documents' where you can 'Add Document'.

When adding the document, you will select the document type from the drop down.

You can provide further details in the Description box. It is required to upload a copy of the document.

SUBCONTRACTORS

There are now 2 options to for adding documents to your subcontractors - With and Without Validity Dates. You can choose a document type in the dropdown list. Some examples of documents you can add are:

When using the Valid From / To dates, together with the 'Make Resource Unavailable' toggle, Qargo will automatically add this to the 'Not Available' schedule. You can manually set the 'Unavailable' date in advance of the 'Valid To' date to provide a window before the expiration dates, and avoid any potential planning issues. Otherwise the Unavailable Date will default to the Valid To date.

We will now keep the ordering of the selected trips when merging them together. This will give you, the user more control with how the resulting order will be sequenced.

For example, if you would have the following three trips:

If you would select them in the order 2, 3, 1, the resulting trip will be

To indicate this, we now show the selection numbering in both the to plan section and legs view.

We now support sending of credit notes UBL files through the accounting export (Via email). We previously already supported sales invoices, and recently purchase invoices. Now that all types of invoices are covered, integrating with existing accounting integrations which support the UBL standard, should be easier.

We now allow users to type the date instead of always having to click on the Calendar.
