System Updates

New updates and improvements to Brokerware.

New Features & Enhancements:

New Feature: Advanced Booking Form

This new feature is only available through the customer portal. It allows your customer to utilize the short form and click a new button on the LCR called ‘Book & Dispatch’. Once the button is clicked, it will prompt the end user to fill out the remainder details required for the shipment and will automatically dispatch the load to the carrier and let them know whether it was successful or not directly on the shipment profile.

  • When successful, the modal will present them with the ability to download the relative documentation, quickly go to another page, sign up for notifications, and give them a pickup number.

  • When unsuccessful, the modal will let them know why it failed and ask them to contact the brokerage.

New Integration: TextLocate

  • Ability to sms message and location ping carriers on load profiles

  • Added a map and ping breakdown similar to Trucker Tools

  • Added a background job to automatically ping carriers given a configurable ping interval

  • Ability to enable specific carrier contacts for TextLocate

  • The carrier can send images to TMS via sms messaging

  • Added configurable option to let carrier ping replies to update the shipment status

Appointment Management default updates

Add new sub default called “Set Appointment boxes as unchecked”

  • If enabled, this will automatically set the appointment indications to be unchecked when new loads are created.

  • This will not affect address book entries saved where an appointment indication is set.

  • Loads duplicated or Exact Duplicated will carry over the previous appointment marker to the new load.

New System Default: Select Participating Carrier Contact

Upon this release, this default will be set to False and the previous update has been reverted which will now be wrapped into this default.

  • The current way the system worked was sending a rate request to ALL contacts that had Send Rate Request checked in their carrier contact profile.

  • When this new default is enabled, this will allow the staff user to choose a carrier contact on the Source Capacity page for participating carriers to send the rate request to.

  • This will only send out 1 rate request to the selected contact rather than to all contacts with ‘Send Rate Request’ enabled on their carrier contact profile.

New mapped accessorials - XPO Logistics

If the following accessorials are added to your system, XPO will return rates (if applicable).

Please be sure to enter the following accesorial names as below to your Accessorial list if needed:

  • Container Freight Station (CFS) - Origin

  • Container Freight Station (CFS) - Destination

Total Cubic Feet

  • When palletized is checked, pallet count and pallet size dimensions will be used for calculation

Pallet Size has been added to the ‘Short Form’

NetSuite Integration Enhancements

  • Pickup date will default to creation date. Expected/estimated delivery 3 days later.

  • Truncate Consignee Zip to work with rating page

Bug Fixes

Pallet Size Bugs

Added Missing Pallet Sizes to Tracking Pages

Priority One

Fixed mapping issue for lift gate accessorials for Roadrunner rates returning.

Midwest Motor Express

Fixed mapping issue for accessorial Protect From Freezing.

TForce Freight

Fixed mapping issue for accessorial Delivery Appointment.

BOL Document

Fixed issue where incorrect information was showing on multi-stop loads for the consignee on the BOL.

Shipment Profile - Editing Stops

Fixed issue where “Clear Information” was not removing the City/State info and allowing users to save without a zip code entered.

Users will need to at least enter a zip code with the city/state info populated in order to save the stop.

System Alerts

Fixed issue where attempting to delete a previous entry was throwing an internal server error.

Electronically signed Rate Con document

Fixed issue where removing the signed e-doc was not allowing another Rate Con to be sent again on the same load.

Fixed issue where fields were being cleared out if user fails to enter the required fields on the rate con when the Advanced Rate Con default is enabled.

Customer Portal

Fixed issue where load info not related to that customer’s portal was appearing in the quick search.

Other

  • Fixed issue where marking loads loads as picked up with the use of a Reason Code was throwing an error if load was marked as Missed Pickup.

  • Fixed spelling error on the Cubic Feet pop up help modal.
