Week 1

➕ Planning — Add a stop to a trip from the open trip detail

You can now add a stop to a trip straight from the open trip detail on the Planboard. Select one or more orders in the To plan: Orders list and the route highlights where a stop can be inserted; click the position and the stop is added and saved immediately. No modal opens and no drag and drop is needed.

What's included:

  • Works in both the Table route view and the Blocks view

  • Insert indicator with a tooltip describing the insert position

  • Stops saved straight away, with the order dropping out of the To plan list

📦 Planning — Send a multi-order depot split to "To Plan"

When you split a trip carrying two or more orders over a depot, the Status created trip field can now be set to To plan. Each split order lands as its own row in To plan: Orders, so you can send them to different outbound vehicles without unplanning the new trip and dragging each order back into the planning bin first.

What's included:

  • Status created trip selectable on multi-order splits, defaulting to To plan for the Depot: unload + load goods action

  • Each split order available individually in To plan: Orders

  • Planning group behaviour following the existing Recalculate planning group toggle

Couple and uncouple splits are unchanged: the goods stay in the same trailer, so those splits keep defaulting to Planned and the orders stay grouped on one new trip.

💰 Planning — Cost & profitability totals on the Planboard

Revenue on the Planboard now comes with Cost and Profitability alongside it, each available per trip and per resource. You can see what every trip and every driver's day costs and earns without opening each trip individually, with profitability shown in green for a profit and red for a loss.

What's included:

  • Six Trip totals sub-toggles covering Revenue, Cost and Profitability, per trip and per resource

  • Each sub-toggle enabled independently, and available for the A+ and A- views separately

  • Totals recalculated for whatever date range the Planboard view is set to

  • One line per currency on trips that mix currencies

  • Visible only to roles with permission to view financial data on trips

🔎 Planning — 'Next Order' suggestions: capacity toggle and Distance filter

Find nearby trips now hides trips that have no room left, so the suggestions you see are ones you can actually use. A new Distance filter on the To plan: Orders table lets you narrow the results further inside the radius you searched, for example down to the closest 2 km within a 5 km search.

What's included:

  • Only trips with loading capacity toggle on the Find nearby trips dropdown, switched on by default

  • Capacity checked against loading metres, pallet spaces and weight, with any metric left blank ignored

  • Distance column filter on the To plan: Orders table once a Find nearby search is active

📍 Planning — Smarter location visibility on the Planboard

The Planboard can now show you where a driver will finish the selected day, not only where they are right now or where they last finished, so you can plan follow-up work from where the driver will actually end up. When nothing is planned, the display falls back to the last known location instead of going blank. Adding a start stop is quicker too: pick one of your own trailers or containers in the Assign resources window and Qargo fills in the pickup location from wherever that resource was last dropped off, and you can still change it if the resource needs to go elsewhere first, for example to cleaning.

What's included:

  • Final planned location for the selected day, set up from Customise → Resource info on the Planboard

  • Column header showing the date the location refers to, for example "before 17/3" or "incl 18/3"

  • Fallback to the last known location when no trip is planned in the selected period

  • Saved per user, so each planner keeps their own preference

  • Pickup location filled in automatically from a trailer's or container's last drop-off when adding a start stop, on both the trip-level and order-level Assign resources window

  • New Order start location and Order end location dropdowns on the order-level window


Week 3

🚚 Planning — Distribution planning view

You can now plan multi-stop distribution rounds from a Legs view that's split into two stacked tables - orders still to plan on top, planned trips below. Build a new trip straight from ticked orders, or merge late incoming orders into a round that's already running, and the optimiser inserts each stop at the right point in the route. Every order stage sits nested under its trip summary row, so you can see at a glance what each truck is carrying. The view is rolling out progressively, so contact your account manager or Qargo Support to have it switched on.

What's included:

  • Two stacked tables with linked horizontal scrolling

  • Create New Trip directly from ticked unplanned orders

  • Merge orders into an existing trip, with the primary resource pre-filled

  • Sorting of unplanned orders by the combined Collect/Delivery location column

  • Stop order warnings with a Reorder stops shortcut into Trip details

📍 Planning — Stop arrival and departure events

Qargo now stores an event every time a driver or a connected integration marks a stop as arrived or completed, capturing the vehicle's last known position, mileage and fuel at that moment. That gives you proof of location for pallet networks and visibility platforms, and one reliable record to fall back on when a delivery is disputed. Arrived and Departed markers appear on the planner map alongside the existing geofence markers, and there is nothing to configure - events are created automatically.

What's included:

  • Events created automatically from the driver app, telematics, EDI or pallet network scans

  • Coordinates, mileage and fuel captured with the timestamp of each tracking update

  • One event per allocated resource, so vehicle and driver data stay separate

  • Arrived and Departed markers on the planner map

🔀 Planning — Split a consignment into parallel stages

Cross Dock scanning in the mobile app now works with parallel stages. Each pallet scan is registered against the leg the pallet is actually loaded onto rather than against the whole consignment, so scans on parallel stages stay independent of each other. Splits remain planner-driven from the order detail page - scanning fewer pallets than expected on a leg will not split a consignment on its own. A few limits apply: bulk-editing a field still updates all the goods on a split consignment, and Create similar order and Add similar consignment are unavailable for orders with parallel stages.

🌡️ Planning — Temperature, voltage and plugged-in status for containers and trailers

You can now add Temperature, Supply voltage (mV) and Plugged in columns to your planning views for container, trailer and chassis resources, filled in automatically from each resource's own tracking data. That means you can check whether a container is still plugged in and holding temperature while it sits uncoupled at a terminal, without leaving Planning or opening an external track & trace tool - and confirm whether a chargeable plug-in applies.

What's included:

  • Three optional columns on To plan: Resources, switched on from Edit columns

  • The same columns on the container booking and intermodal booking views

  • Filtering on any of the three columns, for example to isolate containers that are not plugged in

  • Plugged-in status derived automatically from the supply voltage reading

🧩 Planning — Custom planboard layouts

The Planboard is no longer one fixed arrangement. You can split it into up to four blocks, put any planning component in any block, and save the result as a named layout that follows you across sessions. Combinations that used to be mutually exclusive now sit side by side - To plan: Orders next to To plan: Trips, or the map without the planning board. There is nothing to configure and no permissions to set.

What's included:

  • 1 to 4 blocks using pre-defined grid variants such as Side by side, Stacked and 2x2 grid

  • Any component in any block - To plan, Planning board: Trips, Pre-planning, Map, Statistics, Containers, Intermodal, Resource availability and Container booking

  • Named layouts you can switch, edit and delete from the toolbar

  • Layout choices saved per user and restored automatically

Week 4

🖥️ Customer Portal — Dashboard Statistics and Time at Stop

Super Admins can now choose what the Customer portal dashboard shows. Keep the view simple for your customers by showing one figure per order, hiding time at stop, or hiding statistics altogether so only the News feed remains.

What's included:

  • Show a single total-per-order dial instead of separate collect and delivery dials

  • Hide the time at stop figure

  • Hide all statistics, which renames the Dashboard tab to News feed

  • Settings apply to the whole portal, and nothing changes until you switch a setting


🤖 Qargo Intelligence — Assign Fields Tasks

Qi tasks can now write a value into a field, not just add a tag. Describe the rule in plain language, test it against a real order or trip, and Qargo fills in the field whenever the condition is met, giving you one clear value you can filter and report on.

What's included:

  • Set fields on orders, consignments, trips and stops

  • Use a fixed value or one worked out from data already in Qargo

  • Test the rule against a record before you save it

  • Choose whether to overwrite existing values or only fill empty fields


⚙️ Configuration — Auto-assign Stop and Cargo Extras

Auto-assign rules can now add stop extras and cargo extras for you, not just fill in fields. If the same extra is needed every time a certain product is moved or a certain customer is delivered to, you can set it up once as a rule instead of adding it by hand on every order.

What's included:

  • Add stop extras automatically with rules in the Stop fields category

  • Add cargo extras automatically with rules in the new Cargo fields category

  • Use rule conditions, such as the customer or the cargo product, to decide where each extra is added

  • Stop rules now also run on stops added to an existing shipment, so it's worth checking your current stop rules still give the result you expect


🤝 Resources — Status Column on the Subcontractors List

You can now add a status column to the Subcontractors list, so you can see each subcontractor's status at a glance without opening their details. Switch the column on through Customise, then filter and sort on it to find the subcontractors you need.


💰 Rates — Charge Currency on Rate Card Charges

You can now set a currency on individual charges in a rate card. If you invoice the same customer in more than one currency, for example EUR for European legs and GBP for UK legs, the right currency is applied automatically and planners no longer need to change it on each order.

What's included:

  • Choose a different currency for any charge on a rate card

  • Charges on orders and trips are calculated in the currency set on the rate card

  • Charges already on orders keep the currency they were created with

Week 5

🧾 Invoices — Auto-create invoice when an order is Ready to invoice

You can now have Qargo create the invoice automatically the moment an order reaches Ready to invoice, so your finance team no longer has to open each order and invoice it by hand. Choose whether you get a finalised invoice or a draft to review first, and override the setting per customer where needed. This first version applies to customers set to Separate invoice per order.

What's included:

  • New Auto create invoice when order is ready to invoice toggle on the Create invoice task in Configuration > Tasks

  • Choice between Create invoice and Create draft invoice as the default action

  • Per-customer override in the customer's Invoice config panel

  • Default Invoice date and Default action now sit on the Create invoice task screen, so all invoice-creation settings are in one place

🔎 Invoices — Surcharge revenue breakdown and Is / Is not filter

The Surcharge revenue column in Orders to invoice (Order View) and on the Orders overview can now show exactly which surcharges make up the total, and you can filter on them. This makes it easy to spot orders that are missing a specific surcharge before you invoice - for example, a holiday surcharge on a public holiday.

What's included:

  • Switch between Total amount and Breakdown display modes, for example Holiday: EUR 120, Standard: EUR 50

  • Filter with Is or Is not on any surcharge name

  • Save the view to keep your display mode and filter for next time

💱 Invoices — Automatic exchange rate date for currency conversion

You no longer need to type in the exchange rate date on every converting invoice. Each billing entity can now set a rule that fills in the Exchange rate date automatically, and the field stays editable whenever you need to change it.

What's included:

  • Separate rules for sales invoices (Revenue exchange rate invoice date) and purchase invoices (Cost exchange rate invoice date)

  • Four options to base the date on: Same as invoice, Current date, Earliest charge date or Latest charge date

  • An Adjust by option to shift the date one day earlier or later

  • The field only appears when the invoice currency differs from the billing entity's legal currency

  • A confirmation pop-up when charges change on a converting invoice, so you can check the date

💰 Invoices — Refund status column on credit notes

You can now see at a glance which credit notes have been refunded, without opening each one. A new Refund status column on Credit notes and Purchase credit notes shows Refunded or Unrefunded, based on the Mark credit note as refunded task.

What's included:

  • Refunded (green) and Unrefunded (orange) tags straight in the list

  • Sort and filter on refund status

  • Save a view that lists only the credit notes still waiting for a refund

⏱️ Planning — Stored driver activity events on trips and resources

Qargo now keeps a full history of what your drivers were doing on each trip - driving, resting, on a break, waiting or refuelling. Events are captured automatically from Transics, Trimble or Samsara. With rest and break logging in the Qargo mobile app coming soon.

What's included:

  • Duration driver, rest, break and waiting shown on the trip detail

  • A View activities timeline with every activity period on the trip

  • Duration driver now shows net working time, so multi-day trips report the hours actually worked rather than the full elapsed time

  • Active waiting or rest extends the trip leg on the planning board, so delays are visible as they happen
