Week 1

πŸ“± Mobile β€” Cross Dock Scanning: Unload Vehicle Trip Sheet Scanning

The Unload vehicle flow now opens with a trip sheet scanning step, giving operators an expected-pallet checklist sorted back-of-truck first before scanning begins. Colour-coded progress indicators and a running counter make it easy to track exactly what's been unloaded in real time.

What's included:

  • Scan the inbound trip sheet barcode (or enter trip number manually) at the start of the unload flow

  • Expected-pallet checklist sorted back-of-truck first, with loading positions shown per pallet

  • Colour-coded indicators: dark green (scanned this session), pale green (previously scanned), orange (needs attention), red (error)

  • Running pallet counter showing scanned vs. total expected

  • Requires Qargo Mobile app version 1.18.13 or later

πŸ“± Mobile β€” Cross Dock Scanning: Question Paths & Incident Registration

Warehouse operators can now report incidents directly from the cross-dock scanning app. Configurable question paths guide operators through structured incident registration during unloading, loading, or free-scanning β€” and incidents sync automatically to the TMS.

What's included:

  • Incident reporting within the Unload vehicle, Load vehicle, and Free scan cross-dock flows

  • Configurable question paths with photo attachments, dropdown reasons, and quantity fields

  • Incidents push to the TMS and appear on the relevant order, stop, and pallet history records

  • Enabled per incident type in Configuration β†’ Integrations β†’ Mobile app β†’ Cross dock incidents

  • Requires Qargo Mobile app version 1.18.13 or later


πŸ—“οΈ Planning β€” Sort Trips by Planned Start Time

You can now sort trips on the planning board by their planned start time, keeping them in their originally scheduled position even when actual execution times differ. This means trips no longer jump around when drivers start late β€” giving planners a stable, predictable view of the day.

What's included:

  • New sort option: Sort by resource: resource name + trips: planned start time on both the timeline and blocks views

  • Trips stay in their planned position regardless of actual start time

  • Applies per resource row; board-level resource sorting is unchanged

  • No configuration required β€” available to all planners immediately


πŸ’° Invoices β€” Trips to Bill: Charge View & Amount Filter

Two new enhancements to Invoices β†’ Trips to bill give finance teams deeper visibility into purchase charge lines and a faster way to spot missing or zero-cost entries. You can now view, filter, and action individual charge lines without having to open each trip.

What's included:

  • New Charge View tab showing one row per purchase charge line (alongside the existing Trip View)

  • Columns for Amount, Budgeted cost, Difference, Subcontractor, and more β€” all filterable and sortable

  • Multi-select charge lines to create a purchase invoice or billing proposal directly

  • Amount column filter (With amount / Without amount) to instantly surface zero-cost or priced trips

  • Amount filter requires Experimental Elastic Search to be enabled in Configuration β†’ Features


🌍 Customs β€” HS Commodity Code Count Metrics

Two new rating engine metrics let you automate customs charge calculations based on the number of HS commodity codes per order β€” either counted automatically from existing Qargo data, or entered manually by planners. Both metrics are available as a condition or tiered charge basis on sales and purchase price lists.

What's included:

  • Number of HS codes (automatic) β€” counts Good Items with the HS code field populated; no manual input required

  • Number of HS codes (manual) β€” a new additional field on Cargo that planners populate; Qargo sums to order level

  • Both metrics appear under the Goods ordered category in the rating engine

  • Usable as a condition or tiered charge basis on sales and purchase price lists

  • Enabled per tenant via Configuration β†’ Additional Fields (Super Admin)

Week 2

πŸ”— Planning β€” Automatic trailer assignment on intermodal split

When you perform an intermodal split on a trip that already has a trailer (or container, or other secondary resource) assigned, that resource is now automatically shared to the new trip group - no manual re-allocation needed. The same trailer becomes visible across the Collection, Ferry, and Delivery legs in a single action, saving clicks and removing the need to remember and re-assign the original resource.

What's included:

  • Secondary resource is promoted from the original trip to the new trip group automatically

  • Resource is removed from the original trip in the same operation

  • Trailer shows on all legs - Collection, Ferry, and Delivery - through one trip-group allocation

  • Applies to intermodal splits only (Park splits and Parking: Uncouple are out of scope for now)

🚒 Planning β€” Container pickup & drop-off from the intermodal connection modal

You can now add empty container pickup and drop-off stops directly from the intermodal connection modal, with terminal locations pre-filled automatically. Previously you had to create these empty stops manually after adding a connection, even though Qargo already knew the terminals - this update removes that step for ferry and rail operations.

What's included:

  • Optional Pickup and Drop-off sections within the connection modal

  • Departure terminal pre-filled for the pickup, arrival terminal pre-filled for the drop-off

  • Empty stops added at trip level - one stop per trip, not duplicated per order

  • Connection modal reorganised into collapsible sections that auto-summarise their date and location

πŸͺ§ Orders β€” Pallet pool comments & company-level manual transactions

You can now add an optional comment to pallet settlements and manual transactions; and record manual pallet transactions directly from the customer page. This lets you capture context - invoice references, agreement numbers, or the reason for a balance reset - and make company-level corrections without first navigating to a specific location page.

What's included:

  • Optional Comment field on the Settle Transactions and manual transaction pop-ups

  • New Add manual transaction button on the customer and subcontractor detail pages, with a Location selector

  • New Comment column in the pallet balance overview table

  • Comment field included in the Excel export of pallet balance data

πŸ“± Mobile β€” Tap-based cross-dock mode

Cross-dock operators can now confirm pallet movements by selecting the pallet instead of scanning a barcode, turning the module into a digital "checklist". This removes the need for scanner hardware and printed labels, lowering the barrier for warehouses that want to start digitising cross-dock operations - and it can run side by side with barcode scanning (Depot / Free scan) as a stepping stone to full adoption.

What's included:

  • Tap to confirm each pallet during loading and unloading, with a progress counter tracking completion

  • Tap confirmations generate the same tracking statuses as scans so customer visibility is unaffected

  • Action and location selection on unload - keep on truck, store in depot, or to delivery vehicle - with the last-used action carried over to the next pallet

  • Configurable per tenant; activated by Qargo

Week 3

πŸ€– Orders β€” Chat-Based Authoring for Order-Entry Validation Rules

You can now create order-entry validation rules in plain language through a chat agent under Configuration > Rules. Until now these rules had to be written by Qargo Professional Services, turning every new rule into an internal ticket. Admin users can now author and adjust them directly.

What's included:

  • Describe a rule in plain language and refine it with the agent over several turns

  • Test a rule against a mock order from the order create screen before saving

  • Rules keep working when copied between sandbox and production

  • Requires Super Admin access and the Qargo Intelligence (QI) feature flag

πŸ“Š Admin β€” Failed Task Overview: Inline Errors & Saved Views

You can now see why a task failed straight away - without clicking through to the Error details dialog - and save named, filtered views of the failed task overview to share with colleagues, just like order list views. This makes it far faster for teams to spot and act on the errors they own.

What's included:

  • Hover tooltip on the failed task icon shows the error message immediately

  • Full error message inline on Order, Trip, and Stop detail pages, plus a dedicated filterable error column in the overview

  • "+ View" control to save filters and column layout as a named view, shareable via Share with other users (All users, Private, or Specific users)

  • Applies to all task types and all task errors


πŸ”§ Tasks β€” Trip Tasks for Third-Party Cost Subcontractors

Trip Tasks can now create tasks automatically for third-party cost subcontractors - external parties added to trips for non-transport services such as customs handling, cleaning, or port fees. Previously these subcontractors were excluded from automated workflows, so follow-up had to happen outside Qargo.

What's included:

  • New "Third party costs" option in the resource type multi-select under Configuration > Tasks

  • Tasks created automatically when a third-party cost subcontractor is added to a new trip

  • Requires third-party subcontractor functionality enabled for the tenant


βœ… Tasks β€” Autocomplete Tasks on a Status Change

You can now have a workflow task complete automatically the moment its parent order, consignment, or trip reaches a specific status - instead of firing at creation, which was often too early. This keeps automated actions like generating documents, sending emails, or unblocking invoicing aligned with the real operational stage of the journey.

What's included:

  • 20 additional status-based triggers in the "Schedule task after" setting

  • Trigger autocomplete when an entity is planned, executed, delivered, or any other status

  • Configured per task template under Configuration > Tasks


πŸ™ˆ Orders β€” Restrict Incident Views from the Customer Portal

You can now control which customers see each incident type on the Customer Portal, allowing for more flexible viewing controls on internally-logged incidents. Incidents are often recorded for internal tracking only, and restricting views prevents avoidable customer queries and reduces support work.

What's included:

  • New "Customers who can see this incident" setting per incident type, under Rates > Order Input > Stop Options > Incidents

  • Stay visible to all customers, or limit to a selected list

  • A hidden incident type disappears everywhere on the portal - order list indicator, detail header, execution section, and related columns

  • Internal recording is unchanged; only portal visibility changes


🚒 Customer Portal β€” Intermodal Booking Visibility

You can now share intermodal ferry and rail booking details with your end customers directly on the Customer Portal. A new opt-in setting adds a read-only Booking section to the portal order detail for orders with an active intermodal leg - removing the need to send booking references manually by email.

What's included:

  • Enabled via Configuration > Organisation settings > Customer portal settings (off by default)

  • Shows booking name, status, reference, and the from/to stop locations

  • Read-only for end customers; section hidden automatically when there is no active or non-cancelled booking

Week 3 - Planning Updates

πŸ“Š Planning β€” Live Cargo Totals on Trips Without Saving

Cargo totals now update instantly as you add or remove orders on a trip - no save required to see whether the next order still fits. Previously totals only refreshed after saving, and on large groupage or distribution trips that save can take 15-20 seconds, turning every "does this fit?" check into a wait. Live totals remove that wait and use the same "max needed space" logic as the saved totals, so what you see while editing matches the saved result.

What's included:

  • Live loading meters, weight, volume, pallet spaces, and quantity as orders change

  • Updates at stop, leg, and full-trip level on the Planning Timeline

  • Same "max needed space" calculation as saved totals

  • Customise which metrics are shown per planning view

  • On by default for all tenants - no configuration needed

πŸ—“οΈ Planning β€” Per-Day Resource Availability in To Plan: Resources

The To Plan: Resources view now includes narrow per-date columns - one per date in your selected range - each showing a single availability status per resource: available, planned, unavailable, or rest day. Statuses are generated dynamically from the planning range, so you get a real-time read on which trucks, trailers, and drivers are genuinely free, without cross-checking every resource against the board by hand.

What's included:

  • One status column per date across the selected planning date range, today highlighted. A date range must be selected for this feature to display.

  • Statuses: Available, Planned, Unavailable, Rest day

  • Hover any cell for detail - trip number and times, unavailability reason, or shift name

  • Sort or filter a date column to surface, for example, every resource free next Wednesday

  • Optional Highlight trips that don't connect badge when consecutive trips start and end in different locations

  • Enabled via the view's Customise panel (Rest day requires a configured shift schedule)

πŸš› Planning β€” Assigning Compartmentalised Trailers at Trip Level

You can now assign orders to specific compartments of a compartmentalised trailer directly at trip level. A compartment-assignment modal opens from the trip, showing the trailer's compartment layout so you can distribute goods across compartments and review the full load when several orders share a trailer. This gives you a complete loading plan in one place - reducing loading errors and documentation discrepancies on temperature-controlled, tanker, and similar trips.

What's included:

  • Assign orders to individual compartments from a modal opened on the trip

  • Distribute goods across compartments by selecting items per compartment

  • Full-trip compartment view when multiple orders share one trailer

  • Existing order-level compartment assignments migrated automatically - no re-entry needed

  • Assignments saved to the trip and reflected on trip documents

πŸ”Ž Planning β€” Combined Location Column Filter

The location column filter now shows all five sections at once and lets you combine them, replacing the old single-select dropdown. Previously you could only apply one sub-field at a time, so common needs like "all French orders with a postcode starting with 25" were impossible. Now Search, Location, Postal code, Country, and Coordinates are all visible together and combine with AND - and with filters on other columns.

What's included:

  • All filter sections shown at once - no dropdown switching

  • Combine sections (e.g. Country = FR and Postal code starts with 25)

  • Works everywhere a location column appears - Orders, Trips, Planning board, To plan

  • Existing saved views migrate automatically with no clean-up

πŸ“‹ Planning β€” 'To plan: Trips' Mode on the Planboard

A new To plan: Trips option in the planboard's To plan dropdown lists every trip still waiting for a real resource - both trips parked on a dummy resource and trips with no resource at all - in a single view. Standard planboard views only show a rolling 7-day window, so older staged trips could drop out of sight and be forgotten. This view removes that limit, keeping staged and resourceless trips visible until a resource is assigned.

What's included:

  • New To plan: Trips entry in the To plan dropdown

  • One combined list of dummy-resource trips and resourceless trips

  • No 7-day cap - infinite scroll so older trips stay visible

  • Drag a trip onto the planboard to assign a real driver or vehicle

  • Reorderable columns (Resource and Trip start no longer frozen)

  • No configuration required - appears automatically

πŸ“¦ Planning β€” Assign Previous Container to Orders on a Trip

When combining multiple orders on one trip, you can now copy a container or trailer from the previous order leg to the next directly from the right-click menu on a stop - no need to open each order to allocate the same resource manually. The option appears automatically when the previous order leg has a container or trailer allocated and the selected order does not.

What's included:

  • Assign previous container and Assign previous trailer options in the stop right-click menu

  • Copies the order-level allocation from the immediately preceding leg

  • Appears automatically when conditions are met - nothing to configure

  • Requires the container/trailer fields to be enabled in the planning view

Week 4

βœ… Orders β€” Stop Documents and Tasks on Order Detail

Stop-level tasks and documents are now visible and actionable directly on the Order detail page, so you no longer need to open each trip to track contact tasks. Tasks appear in a collapsible section, letting you trigger, complete, or retry tasks without leaving the order view.

What's included:

  • New Stop documents and tasks section on Order detail

  • Lists all stop-level tasks and documents tied to the order's consignments

  • View, trigger, complete, or retry tasks directly from the order

  • Tasks listed in stop sequence order

  • Pre-existing task configuration applies - no new setup required

πŸ“‹ Planning β€” External Resources: Per-Trip Name, License Plate & Container Number

You can now create individual resources (trailers, containers, drivers) as external resources and enter trip-specific details directly on the trip - overriding the default resource information for that trip only. This prevents discrepancies on trip documents, customs declarations, and invoices when using borrowed equipment or third-party personnel.

What's included:

  • Create resources as an external resource

  • Super Admins can set default names, license plates, or container numbers per resource

  • Planners enter per-trip overrides via the resource assignment panel

  • Overrides appear on all trip documents and customs declarations

  • Supports hired trailers, shipper-supplied containers, and third-party drivers

πŸ“¦ Other β€” Export Locations

You can now export your locations list to a spreadsheet (XLSX), selecting specific rows or exporting the entire filtered list. Just like the existing Customers, Drivers, and Vehicles exports, this makes your location data available outside Qargo for auditing or cross-referencing with external systems.

What's included:

  • Export selected rows or all locations matching active filters

  • Default export covers name, display name, code, external ID, address, coordinates, timezone, and location type flags

  • Super Admins can customise export columns via the 'Templates > Create export' function.

πŸ“ Planning β€” Intermodal Planning: Timing Violation Indicators on the Intermodal Table

Intermodal bookings now flag connected legs with impossible timing, using the same detection logic as the planning timeline. A red violation indicator appears on conflicting rows, showing which leg is in conflict and the problematic timestamps - making it easier to spot and resolve scheduling conflicts without leaving the intermodal table.

What's included:

  • Red violation indicator on rows with timing conflicts

  • Hover popover shows which leg is conflicting and the relevant timestamps

  • Detects collections executed after intermodal departure or deliveries starting before collection finishes

  • Non-blocking indicator - impossible schedules must be corrected manually

πŸ›£οΈ Planning β€” Customer Portal: Hide Excluded Stops and the Empty Stop Option

Route planning settings can now hide selected operational stops from the customer portal timeline - keeping the portal view aligned with the visualised order route. A new Empty option lets you exclude stops like empty container moves, coupling activities, and day-boundary stops from both price calculations and customer visibility.

What's included:

  • New Empty option in Ordered route: stops to exclude dropdown

  • Hide excluded stops on customer portal toggle removes selected stop types entirely from the portal timeline

  • Applies tenant-wide to selected stop types

  • Portal users no longer see gaps or greyed-out placeholders for hidden stops

  • On by default for new tenants; off by default for existing tenants
