Cross Dock App: Improved visibility for loaded pallets

When loading freight at the cross dock we understand that all the required pallets may not be loaded at the same time; often just a pallet on one truck, only to return later to load more.

The Qargo CrossDock App has been updated to improve visibility for loaded pallets, giving clear indicators for which pallets have already been loaded, along with additional alerts indicating potential errors.

Using colour-coded indicators, users can now clearly see which pallets are loaded, and those that are still waiting.


Cross Dock App: Free scan to assign pallets to trips

You can now assign available pallets to an existing trip by simply scanning, without needing to pre-plan every detail. This is designed to reduce friction in fast-paced loading environments while maintaining control and traceability.

Key Details:

  • Enabled by default, pallets can be scanned onto trips directly from the ‘Loading’ screen in app

  • Requires order leg to be in ‘To Plan’ status with a valid depot leg

  • Scan the vehicle loading sheet or manually enter the trip number to begin

  • Pallets not yet assigned to the trip will prompt a confirmation before loading

  • Successfully scanned pallets will:

    • Show a dark green check

    • Be added to the trip

    • Update the leg with assigned trip and resource details

⚠️ This feature can be disabled by request. Please contact Qargo Support if you do not wish to use free scan loading.

  • Once scanned, pallets are automatically route-optimised, saving you time and ensuring accurate trip planning.

Load Warnings

If a pallet cannot be loaded, a message will explain why—common reasons include:

  • Order leg not in ‘To Plan’ status

  • Multiple eligible legs

  • Trip not found or not yet planned

  • Depot not selected

Orders / Trips: Allow filtering on POD type

Visibility of POD documentation has been improved by introducing enhanced filtering on this column in the ORDERS and TRIPS PAGES.

  • From the Orders List view, filtering has been added to the POD/CMR column that allows users to filter based on the TYPE of POD.

  • Options include:

    • ePOD

    • POD/CMR

    • POD/CMR driver app

  • From the Trips and Trips to bill views, POD/CMR column filters options include:

    • All POD / CMR documents are present

    • No POD / CMR documents are present

    • Some POD / CMR documents are present

  • Filter options include:

    • One of: Select single or multiple options from the list; indicated by check mark. Only selected option(s) will show.

    • Is: Select a single option from the list; only the selected option will show.

    • Is not: Select a single option from the list; selected option is EXCLUDED from the results shown.

    • Not one of: Select single or multiple options from the list; indicated by check mark. Selected option(s) will be EXCLUDED from the results shown.


Orders: Create loading calculations

Freight pricing often depends on how efficiently cargo is loaded. Until now, users have had to manually calculate these metrics, risking errors and adding time to the process.

You can now create custom loading calculations to auto-populate values for:

  • Loading Metres (LM)

  • Pallet Spaces

These calculations are based on piece dimensions—Height, Length, Width, and Weight—entered directly on the Order Entry page.

Why It Matters

  • Reduces manual entry and formula errors

  • Streamlines pricing workflows

  • Supports stackable vs non-stackable configurations

  • Enables smarter order entry for both internal users and customer portal users

Configuration is quick and easy!

Using It in Orders

  1. When creating an order, click “Add Piece Dimensions” under the Cargo section

  2. If using predefined package sizes, values may pre-fill

  3. LM and pallet spaces will show in green with a note: “Calculated after save”

🧠 Portal users will see calculated values only if they don’t have permission to input them directly.

Week 3

Geofencing for Stop Management

Qargo now supports Geofencing, enabling automatic detection when vehicles enter or exit defined areas around locations. This feature improves stop accuracy by autocompleting arrival and departure times based on geofence triggers, reducing reliance on manual driver input.

Configurable at both tenant and location levels, Geofencing provides:

  • More reliable stop updates with precise timestamps

  • Automatic stop completion (when using telematics)

  • Improved ETA calculations and reduced driver/office calls

  • Customisable geofence radius and deviation thresholds

Geofencing captures arrival/departure data seamlessly and highlights deviations when they occur, giving operations teams more accurate, real-time visibility into stop performance.

Orders - Qi document scanning: Notes / Instructions

When creating an order from an uploaded order confirmation, new key fields scanned and helpful suggestions offered.

  • Descriptions & Additional Instructions: Suggestions will be automatically generated based on relevant content found in the uploaded document.

  • Smart Data Capture: The document scanner identifies numeric values, addresses, dates, and times for potential use during order creation.

  • Inline Suggestions: These suggestions will appear directly in the applicable fields for quick review and easy input.

With this update, order creation becomes faster, more accurate, and less manual—helping you move from document to order in just a few clicks.


Orders / Trips - Location filtering based on distance

The COORDINATES filter option allows quick and easy selection of orders based on locations. Selecting this option will open a map preview where the user can manually define an area.

  • Once the area is marked on the map, all orders with locations in the defined area will be selected and displayed.

  • It is possible to expand the map using the icon in the top right corner to view a larger view, making it possible to move the map and zoom in as needed.

Integration - Driver Breaks, Rest & Drive Time Visibility in Qargo

Users can now view driver activity data directly within Qargo when connected to supported FMS providers.

With this update, Qargo users integrated with Transics can now track:

  • Current driving time

  • Current break time

  • Current rest time

  • Next break due

  • Next rest due

In addition, vehicle telemetry data is also available, including:

  • Current mileage (default)

  • Current fuel level (default)

  • Axle weight (optional, requires activation)

Configuration Made Simple

To enable these features, simply add the Transics ID to the relevant driver or trailer profile in Qargo. Once saved, driver and vehicle data will sync seamlessly—provided the information is available in your FMS.


Resources - Compatible resources improved selection process

It is easier to setup and modify compatible resources for order entry and trip cost calculations.

  • Under RATES > Order input, when the option to add a 'compatible resource' is available, it can be easily added in table under the Configuration panel.

  • Ordered under Type (Vehicle, Driver, Container, Subcontractor, Intermodal Connections).

  • Click into the line, or use the 'Edit' icon to open the table and select the resource(s)

    • Select single, multiple or all with simple click

  • Under RATES > Cost Trip Calculations, under 'Linked Resources' if the toggle 'use price list for all' is OFF, the Resource Type options will show.

  • Click into the appropriate line to open the resource types

  • Select single, multiple or all with a simple click.
