System Updates

New updates and improvements to Brokerware.

New Features & Enhancements:

Enhancement: Tariff Uploader Template

  • Added 3 new columns for the Tariff Uploader Template for the Length matching criteria.
  • These are found under the ServiceLanes tab - "IsMatchedByLength", "OriginLength", "DestinationLength".

Enhancement: GetLoads API

  • Added Miles on each Stop for the API.

Enhancement: Metropolitan Warehouse

  • When a load is e-dispatched to Metro, the PO Reference field in Brokerware is now sent to Metro as the clientRef2 value.
  • Example: PO Reference = “PO12345” → Metro receives clientRef2 = "PO12345".
  • No UI changes are required; this happens automatically during dispatch.

Enhancement: New Accessorial - 2 Man Delivery

  • Added new accessorial to the system called "2 Man Delivery".
  • This is mainly for the carrier Onward Delivery - if used on a load it will be included in the rate request for this carrier.

Enhancement: Customer Profile - Default Product

  • On a customer's Product Catalog, there is a new check box called "Default Product" added to each product entry.
  • When a user checks off this flag, the system will automatically populate that product's info on new shipments created via full form.
  • Only ONE (1) product can be set as a default at a time. If a new product is marked as a default, the user will see a warning indicating they are about to change the default product.
  • NOTE: If "Create Shipment Blank Slate" is enabled and a default product is set, the product will continue to be inserted on loads created via full form.

Enhancement: Customer Profile - Default Address

  • Users can now set a default Shipper and Consignee address for their profile. NOTE - you can only have one (1) of each set.
  • This will help streamline shipment creation workflow by eliminating repetitive address entries for customers with consistent shipping addresses.
  • New customer preference has been added called "Use Default Addresses for Shipment Creation".
  • When enabled, this will insert the default Shipper and/or Consignee address to each new load.
    • There are also 2 smart fallback options to select from:
      • Default + Last Quoted - Uses last quoted addresses if no defaults found
      • Default + Blank - Starts blank if no defaults found
  • If customer preference "Create Shipment Blank Slate" is also enabled, alongside this preference, the system behaves like the "Default + Blank" fallback option.

Enhancement: Custom Text - BOL Terms & Conditions

  • Added ability to set custom text for the Terms and Conditions on the BOL based on shipment modes.
  • This can be found under Admin Tools > Custom Text.

Enhancement: BOL Document

  • Added ability to use the customer's address on BOL documents.
    • A new customer preference called "Customer Address On BOL" has been added. When enabled, this will display the customer's address of their profile on the BOL document generated for their loads.
  • Added new global default called "Show SCAC on BOL".
    • When enabled, this will display the carrier's SCAC code on the BOL document.
