🔎 Configuration - Improved trip visibility to enhance efficiency
Open orders, trips, invoices, and other detail views as a side or bottom preview slider — without leaving the current screen or losing context.
What does this do?
Detail views throughout Qargo — orders, trips, trip groups, order groups, invoices, purchase invoices, credit notes, and purchase credit notes — can be opened in a preview slider instead of a full-screen overlay, keeping the rest of the screen visible
Why does this exist?
Opening a full detail modal forced planners and operations staff to lose context every time they needed to inspect a record.
How does it work?
Clicking a record opens the preview slider alongside the current screen — available for orders, trips, trip groups, order groups, invoices, purchase invoices, credit notes, and purchase credit notes
The preview slider can be positioned left, centre, right, or at the bottom of the screen
Clicking Open as page in the preview slider header opens the full record in its own page
📚 Qargo saves the selected position. Subsequent detail views will open in the same layout. You can also resize the preview slider by dragging its border.
🗺️ Planning - Select & drop depot stop grouping enhanced
When an order is added to an existing trip using 'Select and Drop', Qargo now automatically places the depot (load/unload) stop next to the matching depot stop already on the trip.
What changed
Before: When an order was added to a trip, every stop, including depot stop, landed exactly where it was dropped. If the new order had a depot stop at the same location as one already on the trip, it had to be manually dragged next to the existing one.
Now: When using 'Select and Drop', Qargo detects when both orders share a matching depot (load/unload only) and automatically moves the new depot stop next to the existing one. The rest of the stop sequence stays intact - nothing else is moved or reordered.
📚 This feature is relates to one specific action: grouping matching stops with the activity set to 'Depot: load' or 'Depot: Unload' when using 'Select and Drop'. It does not do any wider resequencing. It only looks at depot stops.
How to use it
Tick the checkbox next to the order that needs to be added to an existing trip
Move your cursor to the planning timeline and position it before the last stop of the existing trip
Click to drop. Qargo automatically groups the depot stop next to the matching one already on the trip
🏷️ Orders: New additional goods/cargo details for customs details
Carriers doing cross-border transport need to provide detailed cargo information when preparing customs declarations — including goods descriptions, invoice values, net weight, and shipping marks. New additional fields allow users to document key customs data on consignments and goods - prepare accurate customs documentation directly from Qargo data.
Consignment fields:
Commercial invoice: total value, currency, and reference name
Goods items
Net weight (alongside existing gross weight)
Shipping marks
Commercial invoice value per item
📚 New additional fields must be enabled on the relevant transport service to be able to use these.
📐 Rate cards - New girth calculation metric
Transport companies can now use Girth ((Width + Height) × 2 + Length) as a metric across three areas of the rate card system, enabling automatic classification of shipments — such as loose colli vs. pallet freight — for dimension-based billing.
What's included:
Girth available as a calculation metric in formula-based price calculations (evaluated per cargo item)
Girth available as a metric in price table lookups for girth-based pricing tiers
Girth available as a condition on chargeable weight conversion factor lines (e.g. girth ≤ 300 cm → bill on cubic meters; above threshold → bill on loading meters)
Both per-good (Girth) and max-across-goods (Max girth) variants supported
Girth is computed automatically from existing cargo item dimensions — no extra data entry required
Limitations:
All three dimensions (Width, Height, Length) must be filled in on a goods line for girth to compute — missing dimensions result in a calculation error on the charge
The formula is fixed: (Width + Height) × 2 + Length. Custom composite formulas are not supported
Girth is a goods-level metric only — it does not aggregate across goods lines
⏰ Configuration - Stop durations that scale with your cargo
Planning accurate routes just got a lot easier. Stop activity durations can now be calculated automatically based on the actual goods being loaded or unloaded — so if a stop has 20 pallets instead of 5, the planning engine accounts for that without any manual adjustments.
What's included:
Formula-based rules — define how long a stop takes per unit of cargo. Set rules like "5 minutes per pallet" or "2 minutes per loading meter" and durations update automatically as goods change.
Fixed rules — apply a flat time value to specific stop activities when the duration doesn't depend on cargo volume.
Condition-based scoping — rules can apply only in specific contexts: by transport service, vehicle category, customer, service level, stop activity label, container type, location, and more. Different durations for different operations, all in one place.
Automatic recalculation — whenever stops are added, removed, or reordered on a route, durations recalculate instantly.
Combine calculations — stack a fixed base time with a formula in a single rule. For example: 15 minutes base + 5 minutes per pallet.
Rules are configured under Configuration > Rules > Stop Duration, following the same pattern as other rule types already in Qargo.
