The summary will be shown in the email communication row. The summary is made based on the whole thread of emails if these are linked to Qargo or on the single email if no thread is linked.

User language settings are respected in the AI summary, which is presented in the browser language set by the user.

Purchase invoice scanning saves a lot of time matching the cost charges on a trip to the costs actually charged on a received bill. We have introduced a new “Upload purchase invoices” tab under the Invoices module. Here, you can upload purchase invoice PDFs in bulk to be scanned in the background. A quick summary of how it works:

If there is a discrepancy between the charge total on the document and that of the created invoice in Qargo, it will show in a new discrepancy column. This new column was also added in the “Purchase invoices” tab.

ADR entries where you just describe a type of material without a technical name, are usually marked with Not Otherwise Specified (N.O.S). We have added extra validation when inputting this type of ADR goods.

If the technical name field is enabled, it will become required depending on the ADR entry that is selected. For ADR entries that don’t require it, it will remain optional.

We released multi-factor authentication for all users. This is an additional security measure that requires users to verify a login, via their phone using an authenticator app (SMS is no longer supported). This guards against compromised passwords, since an attacker also needs access to the phone to break in.

MFA can be set up in the user menu, the same way you did for Qargo Admins in the past.

We can now support when you want to sync company records for customers and/or subcontractors, from an external system to Qargo. Updates to our external API mean we now support the creation & update of companies. NOTE: we currently only support importing the customer records only, this doesn't yet include importing contacts.

Update to correct trips shifting to different days and planners losing track of them because drivers complete them too late/early. For the first stop on the trip, we will now ignore the timestamp from the driver and keep the planned time if it’s on a different day and >8 hours difference.

When creating multiple purchase invoices at once, invoices of each company can be grouped together in different ways, e.g. per 5 trips. It is now possible to also group them based on trip start (by week), trip end (by week) or resource. For example, invoices can be grouped together for each truck.

Introducing the option for users to have a SPLIT PLANNING PAGE in Qargo. This option offers the flexibility for PRE-PLANNING resources. To facilitate this, it is now also possible to add DUMMY RESOURCES (vehicles only) which can then be used to pre-plan trips on one of the 2 planning boards.

It is possible to choose between having 1 or 2 timeline or table views of their planning at the top of the page. Additional filters include:

Dummy Resources can include DRIVERS and any option under the VEHICLE category. When creating Resources, use the Toggle on the Dummy Resource field to indicate if a resource is a dummy.

We have added a NEW feature called Trip Groups. This feature allows you to bundle trips together and assign a resource to it. Trips Group makes it easy to add orders in your existing planning. If an intermodal order, the intermodal connection is automatically added. This reduces manual input to create each order with a connection, and simplifies adding orders together.

There is a new submenu item under TRIPS to view the groups.

Creating Trip Groups is available in several places through the application, making it quick and easy to create or add to Trip Groups. Check out this powerful new feature! Click the button below to read more.

When initiating a task within Qargo, that uses an email, there is now the option to set up an additional mailbox that can be used instead of the user's individual address. The email recipient will receive the email from the 'Mailbox to send emails from' address, and any replies will be sent to that inbox, rather than the Users email. This alternate mailbox can be a group or distribution list, to allow more visibility of any incoming replies.

Qargo Intelligence generated summaries on documents are shown similarly to the mail summaries in the rows of the detail pages. The summary can be expanded and collapsed by clicking on it. The “predicted” document type, generated by Qargo Intelligence is shown on the left, under the Qargo document type. An indication of the “quality” of the document is shown to the left of the document title. A green Qargo icon means good quality. An orange icon means that the document is of questionable quality. If the summary or document type on a specific document is not accurate, edit or remove using the actions (three dots) on the right.

It is now possible to see at a glance if POD / CMR is received for an order. Where multiples are expected, the system will compare and show how many documents have been received vs. what was expected. Using a colour-coded tag makes it even easier to visually identify any orders where there are missing documents.

On both the Timeline and Board views, it is possible to 'Add a Note' which can be used to give visibility of critical information associated to a resource. The note visibility will default to a 4hr time limit, however this can be manually adjusted. There is also the option to select multiple dates to show the note.

As part of the initial account setup and onboarding, cost calculations can be added. These calculations will help to calculate what each trip costs. Once a price list is configured, the cost will be shown on each order that matches the configured criteria . The default cost distribution is based on either Distance or Time, however other options can be configured.

There are a few updates to the intermodal options available

Updating rate cards just got easier with the introduction of Collections! Charges on a price list are now considered a collection, with each collection of charges set in it's own tab. Each Collection can be Named for improved visibility when displaying pricing on other pages; and has both a Valid From and Valid To date.

Grouping charges in this way offers a more efficient method of updating price lists. There is now the option to copy charges from one tab to another, and the system will even automatically set the next validity date based on the previous tab.

If a price list is past the valid to date, with no other price list created, a Calculation Error is displayed.

It is now possible to give each Price Calculation in the price list both a Name and Description / Note. This includes both Minimum and Maximum price calculations. These are free form fields and can be used as required, although it is not mandatory. This is useful if a price list has multiple calculation scenarios.

Introducing Standard Price Templates, aimed at streamlining the process of configuring price calculations across multiple price lists. Charge templates offer a significant improvement when updating price lists.

Key features include:

'Routing Profile' defaults can now be set up for both Transport Services and Vehicle Categories, in order to provide better visibility and control over how orders and trips route, and subsequently what toll costs are included. When creating an order, the default routing profile will pull from the Transport Services configured. Once a resource is assigned and the trip is created, the routing profile will be updated based on the Vehicle Category.

Email summaries generated through Qargo Intelligence now have the same functions as the document summaries announced last week. Summary fields can now be expanded / collapsed by clicking in the field. Email summaries can also be deleted using the action menu (dots) to the right side of the row.

The workflow to create a new location has been changed which reduces the number of steps needed to add a location. The 'Search Google' button has been replaced by 'Create Location' button. This new button will open the create location screen directly, and will pre-fill your existing search in the google search field - immediately showing results.

If no search has been made, users can directly create a new location with the form. The workflow for creating new companies has also been adjusted to this new method.

You can now also search for the following on the planning board:
