Intermodal: Improved visibility of Operational status
There is a new column showing execution status on Intermodal Bookings (Stena lines / Irish Ferries integrations). This will give improved visibility post booking, detailing the ferry status from departure to arrival.
When using the INTERMODAL view on the Planning tab, the 'Execution Statuses' column can be moved by dragging to suit user preference. The status will also display in the Order & Trip Details, under the Booking panel. Status updates are synced back within 5 minute intervals, and status updates include 'Checkedin / Confirmed / Shipped'.

Planning: "Next order" planning suggestions.
New planning flow suggests optimal order combinations based on vehicle capacity and location, addressing challenges like high order volumes and resource compatibility to improve efficiency and reduce operational costs.
The planning flow provides suggestions based on the available capacity in vehicles and planned locations. The suggestions are exposed in two directions:
Planning → to plan: open the stop actions button, go to ‘Find nearby’ and choose either collect or delivery within one of the given distances.
To plan → planning: Select 1 row in the to plan table, click on the ‘Find nearby trips’ dropdown to filter your planning view on a given distance from the collect or delivery location of the selected to plan order.

Configure invalid service level notification.
Service levels can be configured with a lead time, this is the number of days that are required to complete the order. For instance a priority / 24hr service allows the customer to book priority shipments and the dates will automatically be within the allocated timeframe.
When the system optimises the route, if the route is not possible within the specified lead time, the system will automatically roll the date over to the next available date. To generate a warning to the user, an exception can be added to the service level, with the lead time set as -1. Doing this will drive the system to generate a warning to the user that the dates are invalid based on the selected service levels.

Assign roles with default permissions, offering a pre-determined level of access to functions. Streamlined visibility ensures users can focus on core areas of responsibility, ie: Planning or Finance.
User roles have a selection of default functions, with both read and write access. It may be possible to add additional functions as READ ONLY, providing they are available within the user role settings.

Existing user roles remain unaffected, but can be updated if required.
Orders: Planning preference for multiple consignments.
When building an order that includes multiple consignments (collections and/or deliveries), it's now possible to specify planning preference. Options include merging all consignments on one trip, or creating a single trip per consignment.
