Monthly release # September 2026 Map planning, a rebuilt Marketplace and first-to-accept dispatch Plan on a full-screen map with lasso and optimizer, search freight exchanges live and find return loads, offer trips to nearby drivers, build your own dashboards and get ready for North America. Last change 30 September 2026 ## New features * NewPlanning ### Map planning with lasso selection and the optimizer A new full-screen map planning view shows orders to plan, free vehicles and existing trips together. Select orders by clicking or with a lasso, build a draft trip on a vehicle, or let the optimizer propose trips across several vehicles at once. * [Read the guide: Plan trips on the map →](/en/help/map-planning) * [Read the guide: Create trips with the optimizer →](/en/help/optimizer) * NewPlanning ### Offer a trip to nearby drivers: first to accept gets it Planners can offer an unassigned trip to drivers within a set radius. Drivers accept or decline in OpenMove, the first to accept is assigned (optionally with their preferred vehicle), and open offers can be withdrawn at any time. OpenMove also got a redesigned route and stops view. * [Read the guide: Offer a trip to nearby drivers →](/en/help/first-to-accept-dispatch) * [Read the guide: Accept trip offers →](/en/help/openmove-trip-offers) * NewMarketplace ### Rebuilt Marketplace with live freight exchange search Search connected freight exchanges live by lane, radius, weight and equipment, and import an offer as a transport order in one click. Accepting a bid can now plan the work straight away, and loads can be posted to DAT and Truckstop load boards. * [Read the guide: The marketplace →](/en/help/marketplace-overview) * [Read the guide: Search the freight exchanges →](/en/help/search-freight-exchanges) * [Read the guide: Review and accept bids →](/en/help/review-and-accept-bids) * NewMarketplace ### Return load suggestions for every trip For a trip heading out, Transportial checks the freight exchanges for loads that bring the vehicle back, ranked by empty kilometers to the pickup and detour compared with driving back empty. * [Read the guide: Return loads →](/en/help/return-loads) * NewInsights ### Build your own dashboards Compose personal dashboards from a catalogue of widgets on a drag-and-drop grid, give each widget its own settings, and duplicate a dashboard to start from an existing layout. * [Read the guide: Build your own dashboard →](/en/help/custom-dashboards) * NewIntegrations & automation ### Workflow template catalog and more powerful workflow steps Start a workflow from a catalog of ready-made templates. Workflows can now wait until a date, skip duplicate runs, create or reload records, and send messages through a message automation, a channel or a reply in the same chat. * [Read the guide: Automate work with workflows →](/en/help/workflows) * [Read the guide: Build a workflow in the designer →](/en/help/workflow-designer) * NewCommunication ### SMS and WhatsApp messaging through your own provider Connect Twilio, Bird, Vonage or WhatsApp (Meta) to send and receive SMS and WhatsApp messages in Transportial chats, with webhook signature checks for incoming messages. * [Read the guide: Set up a preset integration →](/en/help/set-up-preset-integration) * [Read the guide: Chat with colleagues and drivers →](/en/help/messages-and-chat) * NewCommunication ### New visual e-mail builder E-mail templates for message automations are now designed in a new built-in editor with rows, columns, content blocks, presets and data variables, with a live preview. * [Read the guide: Write the message and add attachments to an automation →](/en/help/message-automation-content) * [Read the guide: Send messages automatically with message automations →](/en/help/message-automations) * NewAdministration ### Region settings for North America and other markets Set units, date and number formats and time zones per platform, with US formatting throughout the web app and OpenMove. Addresses now support states and a second address line, and locations can carry their own time zone. * [Read the guide: Set region, units and time zones →](/en/help/region-settings) * NewPlanning ### Live activity on plan board rows without a trip Vehicles, drivers and equipment without a trip in execution now show what they are doing (driving, idling, parked, working, resting or offline), derived from telematics and tachograph data. * [Read the guide: Plan with the plan board →](/en/help/plan-board) ## Improvements * ImprovedPlanning ### AI model choice and AI re-ranking of recommendations Pick the AI model your platform uses per provider. Planning recommendations can optionally be re-ranked by AI using consignment remarks and instructions, flagging candidates that may conflict with them. * [Read the guide: Use planning recommendations →](/en/help/recommendations) * [Read the guide: Configure finance, AI, portal and fleet settings →](/en/help/platform-finance-ai-and-fleet-settings) * ImprovedGeneral ### Faster tables with saved views and remembered filters Lists got resizable and filterable columns, saved views, select-all across every matching row and a load-all option. Filters can be remembered per view or per entity, and board and list loading is much faster. * [Read the guide: Filter, sort and arrange lists →](/en/help/filters-and-tables) * ImprovedAdministration ### Clearer billing notices and updated terms acceptance Platforms see a clear notice when a trial ends or a payment method is needed. When the terms and conditions change, administrators are asked to review and accept the new version for their company. * [Read the guide: Manage billing and your subscription →](/en/help/billing-and-subscription) * [Read the guide: Accept the terms and conditions for your company →](/en/help/terms-and-conditions) ## Fixes * FixedTrips ### More reliable trip progress, delivery dates and order completion Trips can now progress automatically on geofences (including polygons), the optimizer keeps delivery dates while respecting opening hours, and a transport order is no longer completed while some of its consignments are still open. * [Read the guide: Set up a geofence on a location →](/en/help/location-geofences) * [Read the guide: Trip statuses: confirm, start and finish →](/en/help/trip-status-lifecycle) --- Canonical page: https://transportial.com/en/releases/2026-09
