Last change 31 December 2024

## New features

* NewInsights  
### Operational and financial management dashboards  
New management dashboards show trips, orders, average cost per trip and financial results over any date range. You can click from a chart straight into the planner, so you can act on what you see.

  * [Read the guide: Use the operational management dashboard →](/en/help/management-dashboards)
  * [Read the guide: Use the financial management dashboard →](/en/help/financial-management-dashboard)
* NewFinance  
### Share quotes online and turn them into invoices  
Quotes can be shared through a public link so customers can review them online, and you can send reminders. An accepted quote becomes an invoice in one step, so you never retype prices.

  * [Read the guide: Create and send quotes →](/en/help/quotes)
  * [Read the guide: Create, send and follow up invoices →](/en/help/invoices)
* NewFinance  
### Automatic revenue and cost distribution with ledger entries  
Revenue and cost are now calculated automatically and spread over orders, trips, consignments and vehicles. Methods include per kilometer, per kilogram, percentage and quote-based. Invoices also post ledger entries, which gives you a true margin per trip.

  * [Read the guide: Trip costs and revenue →](/en/help/trip-costs-and-revenue)
  * [Read the guide: View transactions →](/en/help/transactions)
* NewAdministration  
### Single sign-on with SAML  
Administrators can set up SAML single sign-on with their identity provider and download the service provider metadata. Users then log in with their company account.

  * [Read the guide: Set up single sign-on with SAML →](/en/help/saml-single-sign-on)
* NewIntegrations & automation  
### Message automations in multiple languages  
Workflows became message automations. They send messages automatically on events or schedules, in each recipient's language. Automations can start from templates, be duplicated, and include formatted tables of order data.

  * [Read the guide: Send messages automatically with message automations →](/en/help/message-automations)
  * [Read the guide: Write the message and add attachments to an automation →](/en/help/message-automation-content)
* NewAdministration  
### App Store for apps and publishers  
A new App Store lets publishers list apps with versions, and lets platforms browse and install them, so you can extend Transportial without custom work.

  * [Read the guide: Install apps from the App Store →](/en/help/app-store)
* NewDrivers  
### Driver certificates, bans, service cards and complaints  
Record driver licenses and certificates, bans, service cards and complaints, and filter them by driver or business. All driver compliance information now lives in one place.

  * [Read the guide: Record driver licences and certificates →](/en/help/driver-certificates)
  * [Read the guide: Record bans and service cards →](/en/help/driver-bans-and-service-cards)
  * [Read the guide: Log complaints →](/en/help/complaints)
* NewFleet  
### Tire management  
Keep track of the tires on your vehicles, including brand and tire class, as part of fleet maintenance.

  * [Read the guide: Keep track of tires →](/en/help/tires)
* NewTransport orders  
### AI reads transport orders, quotes and invoices from files  
Upload a document or forward an e-mail, including .eml files, and Transportial extracts the transport order, quote or invoice for you. This saves manual data entry.

  * [Read the guide: Create a transport order from a file or email →](/en/help/import-transport-order-from-file)
* NewCustomers & locations  
### Supplier registration and forwarded transport orders  
Suppliers can register through an invitation link and see the transport orders you forward to them. Quotes they send come back in as incoming quotes.

  * [Read the guide: Forward a trip to a partner →](/en/help/forward-trip-to-partner)

## Improvements

* ImprovedPlanning  
### Table-based plan board and Watchtower table view  
The vehicle plan board gained a table layout with columns you can sort, drag and hide, plus side planning. Watchtower also got a table view for scanning many consignments quickly.

  * [Read the guide: Plan with the plan board →](/en/help/plan-board)
  * [Read the guide: Set up the plan board →](/en/help/plan-board-settings)
  * [Read the guide: Monitor consignments with Watchtower →](/en/help/watchtower)
* ImprovedCommunication  
### To-do boards with comments, mentions and statistics  
To-dos get comments and @mentions that alert colleagues, overdue tracking, and board and lane statistics. You can also add to-dos directly to orders and consignments.

  * [Read the guide: Organise to-dos on boards and lanes →](/en/help/todo-boards)
  * [Read the guide: Work with to-dos →](/en/help/todos)
* ImprovedTrips  
### Bulk trip actions, trip splitting and multiple CMRs per trip  
You can confirm, update or cancel several trips at once and split a trip. Trips show an estimated duration and end time, and you can print several CMRs for one trip.

  * [Read the guide: Cancel, remove or split a trip →](/en/help/cancel-or-split-trip)
  * [Read the guide: Print CMR documents →](/en/help/cmr-documents)
* ImprovedAdministration  
### Regional formats, custom translations and hidden fields  
Each platform can set its locale, time zone and date format, override interface translations, and hide fields its users don't need.

  * [Read the guide: Set region, units and time zones →](/en/help/region-settings)
  * [Read the guide: Configure the interface, labels and translations →](/en/help/platform-interface-and-label-settings)
