Changelog
New updates and improvements to Brokerware.
New Features & Enhancements:
New Carrier Integration: AIT Worldwide
Supports rating, E-Dispatching, Tracking/Tracing and Electronic Document Retrieval.
Highway: Load Lock API
New Highway configuration option to detect fraud with carrier-related phone numbers and email addresses.
-
This feature will check email addresses and phone numbers upon dispatching and when a user saves new carrier contacts with emails and phone numbers.
-
If fraud is detected, users may see fraud verbiage in red on the driver’s cell, contact phone, contact email and carrier phone numbers.
-
This also runs on Highway Onboarding.
Report Builder
Customer and Carrier Division fields are now available to use in Shipment type reports.
Default “Division Management” must be enabled in the system in order to see these new fields in report builder.
Estes Express
If product description of commodities exceeds more than 50 characters, the request will now truncate descriptions in order to avoid the rating error indicating product descriptions should not exceed the 50 character limit.
EDI 204 Outbound
Customer outbound EDI 204s now have the option to be sent when an E-Dispatch action occurs.
In the setup section called “Send Outbound” users will have the choice of:
-
On Edi Dispatch - an EDI 204 will be sent to the customer when load is Dispatched or EDI Dispatched.
-
On Edi and E-Dispatch - an EDI 204 will be sent to the customer if a carrier on the load supports the ability to E-Dispatch orders via API. This also follows the same function as above.
Fixer.IO Currency Conversion
If this is enabled and a user sets up a carrier or customer to convert to CAD, it will convert and show both currencies in the LCR.
Bug Fixes
Old Dominion Freight Lines
Fixed issue with carrier cost error - issue with accessorials not properly mapped.
Rate Con document
Fixed issue where loads created via API were showing incorrect times.
Priority One & WWEX
Fixed issue to correctly map the accessorial “Protect From Freezing” for some of their returned carriers in the LCR.
Estes Express
Fixed issue where Estes’ “Exhibition Charge” was not mapped to BrokerWare’s Trade Show accessorials.
- This charge is now mapped to both Trade Show Pickup and Delivery accessorials, however, if a user adds both accessorials to the load, only 1 accessorial will show a charge.
Fort Transportation
Fixed issue with carrier cost rating error.
Highway Carrier Onboarding
Fixed issue where data was not transmitting over with the updated API.
Shipment Mode - Cold Chain Drayage & Cold Chain TL
Fixed issue where electronic Rate Con Document was not sent out upon booking loads.
Customer Payor Visible
Added logic to work as a separate instance alongside customer preference “Allow Customer View/Edit Bill To (Admin, Accounting and Operations).
Advanced Shipment Booking Default
Fixed issue where Pickup Date and time in the LCR modal for this function did not match the date and time in Shipping and Receiving Locations on the shipment profile.
Other
Fixed issue where fields in Edit Commodity were not aligned when using shipment mode Cold Chain Drayage.
Fixed issue where if a user adds a second carrier to a load that had carrier contact info, the contact info was disappearing upon refreshing.
