Last change March 30, 2025

## New features

* NewIntegrations & automation  
### Automatic alerts for capacity problems and missing documents  
Trips now raise an alert when there isn't enough capacity for everything planned, or when all stops are done but no documents have been attached. Each alert can be opened to view and fix the cause, marked as solved, or ignored.

  * [Read the guide: Handle alerts →](/en-us/help/alerts)
* NewCommunication  
### Send automated e-mails through Exchange 365, plus WhatsApp  
Message automations can now send e-mail through a connected Microsoft Exchange 365 mailbox as well as SMTP, and WhatsApp is available as a channel. Messages leave from your own mailbox and accounts.

  * [Read the guide: Send messages automatically with message automations →](/en-us/help/message-automations)
  * [Read the guide: Connect and share email inboxes →](/en-us/help/email-inboxes)
* NewPlanning  
### Plan with capacity contracts by drag and drop  
Capacity contracts with carriers now appear in the planner sidebar and can be dragged onto the planning just like your own vehicles. Searching vehicles, trailers and drivers in the sidebar was improved too.

  * [Read the guide: Set up capacity contracts with carriers →](/en-us/help/capacity-contracts)
  * [Read the guide: Plan trips on the planner timeline →](/en-us/help/planner-timeline)
* NewOpenMove driver app  
### OpenMove: chat with files, notifications and trip list  
OpenMove now has live chat with photo and file sharing, a notifications page, and a trip list grouped by status.

## Improvements

* ImprovedTransport orders  
### Load meters calculated from goods dimensions  
Load meters now convert to and from length and width for goods and for the load space of trailers and vehicles. A new planning setting lets you treat weight, load meters and volume as totals instead of per-piece values.

  * [Read the guide: Add shipments and goods →](/en-us/help/consignments-and-goods)
  * [Read the guide: Planning settings →](/en-us/help/planning-settings)
* ImprovedPlanning  
### More realistic ETAs  
ETA calculation was improved. A new trip setting makes the estimated driving time between stops at least as long as the gap until the next time window.

  * [Read the guide: Planning settings →](/en-us/help/planning-settings)
* ImprovedPlanning  
### Plan board keeps your tab; durations can span days  
The trip detail on the plan board now stays on the tab you had open when you switch trips. Durations can be entered and shown in days as well as hours and minutes.

  * [Read the guide: Plan with the plan board →](/en-us/help/plan-board)
* ImprovedTransport orders  
### Packaging to take and return on consignment types  
Consignment types can now define packaging to take along and to return, so deposit items such as pallets or crates are added automatically.

  * [Read the guide: Manage types, attributes and pricing categories →](/en-us/help/types-and-attributes)
* ImprovedAdministration  
### Language switching and clearer Dutch labels  
Switching the interface language now applies everywhere, platform label settings work correctly again, and many Dutch labels were reworded.

  * [Read the guide: Configure the interface, labels and translations →](/en-us/help/platform-interface-and-label-settings)

## Fixes

* FixedFinance  
### Quote editing no longer duplicates lines  
Fixed quote line entry so that editing a quote no longer duplicates lines. Quote lines generated from a transport order's pricing are also more accurate.

  * [Read the guide: Create and send quotes →](/en-us/help/quotes)
* FixedCommunication  
### Chat input and notification order fixes  
The chat box and chat input were fixed, and notifications are listed newest first again.

  * [Read the guide: Chat with colleagues and drivers →](/en-us/help/messages-and-chat)
  * [Read the guide: View and manage notifications →](/en-us/help/notifications)
* FixedIntegrations & automation  
### Integrations no longer replace existing records  
Data coming in through integrations now updates existing records instead of overwriting them, and the e-mail integration was fixed.
