System Updates

New updates and improvements to Brokerware.

New Features & Enhancements:

Enhancement: Shipment Profile - Tracking Button

  • Location Tracking: The system automatically geocodes addresses to get precise coordinates for:
    • Check Calls - When drivers manually report their location
    • Pickups - When shipments are picked up from shippers.
    • Deliveries - When shipments are delivered to consignees
  • Tracking Map Display: All geocoded locations appear as interactive markers on the tracking map, showing the shipment's journey from pickup to delivery with precise GPS coordinates. (May not include intermediate stops)
  • Shipment Notes: Check calls automatically create shipment notes linked to the tracking event, providing an audit trail of manual location reports.

Enhancement: Mass Rater Template - Add Linear Feet column

  • Added Linear Feet to Mass Rater template in Shipments tab.

Enhancement: Tariff Upload Template - Add Class Match Criteria column

  • Added "IsMatchedClass", "FromClass" and "ToClass" on the tariff upload template.

Enhancement: New System Theme

Enhancement: SEKO Transport

  • Updated to send pickup times in UTC to SEKO.
  • Added 2 configurable flags called "Ignore Traditional Accessorials" and "Simplified Dispatch Mode". This can be enabled/disabled at the global level or customer API tariff level.
    • Ignore Traditional Accessorials: When enabled, all traditional LTL accessorials (e.g., residential delivery, liftgate, appointment, etc.) are ignored in the Rate Quote request, they will appear as $0 in the breakdown on the LCR and shipment profile.
    • Simplified Dispatch Mode: When enabled, sends dispatch request with minimal information, relying on QuoteID reference only.

Enhancement: Pickup Window text indication

  • Added text indication to the areas where pickup dates and time frames exist.
  • This is to advise users that the pickup window is assumed to be based on the pickup location's time zone.

Enhancement: Source Capacity Custom Email Template

  • Under Admin Tools -> Custom Text:
    • Added a new custom text section called General Custom Text - this will house the Source Capacity Email Subject and Content sections.
    • Both sections will allow admin users to setup custom text for the rate request email sent to carriers via Source Capacity.
    • If Divisions are enabled, a custom text for the subject and content can be added per Division.
    • The subject and content areas are not locked in the Source Capacity - users can still add/remove text before sending out to participating carriers.
  • The email content will now include the Load ID so it's directly visible to carriers in the email.
  • Link to Knowledge Base Article: Custom Text - Source Capacity Emails

Enhancement: Default Carrier Group per Customer

  • In the customer profile under Preferences, added a new feature called Default Carrier Group.
    • When set, the Source Capacity section for this customer's loads will display the carriers from the Carrier Group as preselected under Participating Carriers.
    • Users can still add/remove carriers as needed per load.
