Last change 31 January 2025

## New features

* NewIntegrations & automation  
### Alerts on orders, consignments and trips  
Transport orders, consignments and trips now show their open alerts, with a badge so issues stand out in lists. Planners can solve or ignore each alert directly from the detail view.

  * [Read the guide: Handle alerts →](/en/help/alerts)
* NewFinance  
### Expected costs and turnover per order, consignment and trip  
Transport orders, consignments and trips now show expected costs and expected turnover. Trip revenue is shared across its consignments based on the distance and space each one takes, so you can see the margin per load.

  * [Read the guide: Trip costs and revenue →](/en/help/trip-costs-and-revenue)
  * [Read the guide: Prices, costs and invoices of a transport order →](/en/help/transport-order-financials)
* NewTrips  
### Action overview tab on trips  
A new Action overview tab lists all actions of a trip in sequence together with the capacity information at each point.

  * [Read the guide: The trip detail panel →](/en/help/trip-detail)
* NewTransport orders  
### Packaging deposits  
Types can now carry a deposit value linked to a pricing category. A new packaging action records taking and returning packaging such as pallets or crates during a trip.

  * [Read the guide: Manage types, attributes and pricing categories →](/en/help/types-and-attributes)
* NewOpenMove driver app  
### OpenMove: sign-in, password reset and two-factor set-up  
The new OpenMove driver app gained its account basics: signing in, setting up two-factor authentication, resetting a forgotten password and logging out. Groundwork for photo uploads and location updates was added too.

  * [Read the guide: Install OpenMove and log in →](/en/help/openmove-install-and-log-in)

## Improvements

* ImprovedDocuments  
### Redesigned CMR printing  
CMR printing from a transport order was rebuilt and now produces each of the colored CMR copies, with the consignment details laid out correctly.

  * [Read the guide: Print CMR documents →](/en/help/cmr-documents)
* ImprovedPlanning  
### Driver names and license plates on the plan board  
The plan board can now show the driver names and the license plates of the transport equipment on each trip.

  * [Read the guide: Plan with the plan board →](/en/help/plan-board)
* ImprovedFleet  
### Vehicle and load space dimensions  
Vehicles now record both their outer dimensions and their loading dimensions, and goods have a load meters field. This is the basis for more accurate capacity checks.

  * [Read the guide: Add and manage vehicles →](/en/help/vehicles)
  * [Read the guide: Add consignments and goods →](/en/help/consignments-and-goods)

## Fixes

* FixedPlanning  
### Stable map planner and Watchtower  
Fixed the map planner repeatedly reloading itself and resolved display issues in Watchtower.

  * [Read the guide: Plan trips on the map →](/en/help/map-planning)
  * [Read the guide: Monitor consignments with Watchtower →](/en/help/watchtower)
* FixedCommunication  
### No more duplicate automated messages  
Message automations no longer send the same message twice, and saving changes to trips was fixed.

  * [Read the guide: Send messages automatically with message automations →](/en/help/message-automations)
* FixedDrivers  
### Drivers created through the API can log in  
When a driver is created through the API, the linked user account is now set up so the driver can log in straight away.

  * [Read the guide: Add and manage drivers →](/en/help/chauffeurs)
* FixedTransport orders  
### Excel files, time zones and geofence drawing  
Fixed reading of Excel (.xlsx) files and handling of uploaded files. Also fixed a time zone issue, the shape of drawn geofences, and the preferred language setting.

  * [Read the guide: Set up a geofence on a location →](/en/help/location-geofences)
