Exceptions come with suggested actions and close automatically once they no longer apply. * [Read the guide: Handle planning exceptions →](/en/help/exceptions-view) * NewPlanning ### ETAs that account for driver hours and real handling times ETAs can include mandatory breaks and rests under EU 561/2006, optionally seeded from the live tachograph, use historical handling times per location and blend in live vehicle speed. Required rests can be added to the route as visible actions. * [Read the guide: Configure planning and routing for the platform →](/en/help/platform-planning-and-routing-settings) * [Read the guide: Follow a trip live →](/en/help/track-trip-live) * NewPlanning ### Route alternatives, cost modes and PTV OptiFlow Compare fastest, eco and cheapest route options, or compare routing engines side by side. Choose what route costs include (toll, fuel, time and emissions), when routes are recalculated, and plan with the PTV OptiFlow optimizer. * [Read the guide: Calculate a route with the route planner →](/en/help/route-planner) * [Read the guide: Create trips with the optimizer →](/en/help/optimizer) * [Read the guide: Configure planning and routing for the platform →](/en/help/platform-planning-and-routing-settings) * NewTrips ### Configurable trip cancellation Decide what canceling a trip does to consignments it left part-way: return unexecuted actions to the planning pool, record where the goods are, flag the consignment for replanning and notify the order's team. * [Read the guide: Cancel, remove or split a trip →](/en/help/cancel-or-split-trip) * NewPlanning ### Timeslot booking and standalone actions Book a loading dock timeslot directly from an action and see current bookings. Plan standalone actions, such as attaching a driver or equipment, for several vehicles or drivers at once, and edit or reschedule planned actions. * [Read the guide: Work with stops and actions →](/en/help/trip-actions-and-stops) * [Read the guide: Plan with the plan board →](/en/help/plan-board) * NewOpenMove driver app ### Complete grouped actions at one stop together Actions at the same location are grouped, and planners decide whether drivers handle them one by one, pick which to handle together, or complete them all at once, in both the web app and OpenMove. * [Read the guide: Execute a stop →](/en/help/openmove-execute-a-stop) * [Read the guide: Work with stops and actions →](/en/help/trip-actions-and-stops) * NewDocuments ### Generate document templates with AI Upload a photo or PDF of an existing document, describe what you need, and AI recreates it as an editable template bound to your data. A new template catalog lets you start from ready-made documents. * [Read the guide: Create and manage document templates →](/en/help/document-templates) * [Read the guide: Design a document template →](/en/help/document-designer) * NewInsights ### Seven new Insights reports New reports cover lane analysis, open invoice aging, quote conversion, revenue per customer, trips per driver, vehicle utilization and tachograph activities. * [Read the guide: Run a report on the Insights tab →](/en/help/insights) * NewCustomers & locations ### Privacy controls for the customer portal Choose which addresses customers can look up in the portal order form and anonymize other customers' data on shared trips.
