Transportial release notes

October 2026: eCMR, Peppol e-invoicing and two-way dock timeslot booking

Mon, 12 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT

Digital consignment notes signed in the web app and OpenMove, Peppol e-invoices, dock timeslots you and your customers can book, fleet maintenance with work orders, and a demand forecast.

Electronic consignment notes (eCMR) — Issue an eCMR per consignment and let the sender, carrier and consignee sign it digitally in the web app, in OpenMove or through a secure share link. Every amendment and reservation is recorded in a tamper-evident history and the sealed PDF can be exported; a TransFollow connector is available for those who exchange eCMRs there.
Peppol e-invoicing and UBL invoices — Register an administration on the Peppol network, send invoices as validated UBL e-invoices and receive supplier e-invoices straight into Transportial. Every invoice can also be downloaded as a UBL file.
Two-way dock timeslot booking — Define docks and timeslots per location, let carriers book them through a public link, and book slots at your customers' docks from the trip. Requests, proposals and confirmations flow both ways, and the booked window can be applied to the stop automatically.
Maintenance plans, work orders and a pre-trip check — Plan maintenance by date, kilometers or engine hours, get alerts when it is due, and track the work in work orders that can block the vehicle in planning. Drivers can be asked to complete a start check in OpenMove before a trip starts, with failed checks visible to planners.
Demand forecast on the management dashboard — See expected demand for the coming weeks per modality, customer and lane, in consignments, weight, loading meters, volume or TEU, with an 80% likely range. The forecast is compared with your own assets and capacity contracts to flag periods where you may run short.
Cross-dock hubs and SSCC goods labels — Route consignments via a cross-dock hub with a minimum transfer time, and follow what is inbound, at the hub and departed, including connections that are too tight. Goods can be labeled with SSCC barcodes based on your GS1 company prefix.
A fuller email client with labels, rules and signatures — Connect Google or Microsoft mailboxes by signing in, write drafts, use rich signatures and share mailboxes with colleagues. Labels, priority rules and saved views help you sort mail, and an email can be turned into a transport order.
Quote options, revisions and a recorded acceptance — Customers can accept or decline individual quote options, and quotes can be revised. Each acceptance is stored with the accepted terms and content so you have clear evidence of what was agreed, and you can make customer acceptance a requirement.
Incoming invoices: approvals, quote matching and credit notes — Incoming invoices are matched to the supplier's quote, duplicates are caught, and each approver sees what is waiting for them before an invoice can be booked as payable. Credit notes can now correct an existing invoice, and carriers can deliver invoices directly to a dedicated Transportial invoice address.
Connect AI assistants and a reworked App Store — Connect AI assistants to your Transportial data with a secure sign-in and consent screen. The App Store and developer portal were rebuilt: developers get their own sandbox, signed webhooks and app screens that appear inside Transportial.
Activity timeline with field-level changes — Transport orders, consignments, trips, quotes and invoices show who changed which field and when, including changes made by integrations, the API or the system. This makes it easy to trace why a time window, vehicle or price changed.
Edit trips directly from the planner — Right-click a trip on the planner to add stops, consignments or bookings, change or remove the vehicle and remove stops. Hovering a trip now shows a preview card with an optional route map, and stops at bookings respect a latest arrival time.
Redesigned trip list and bookings in OpenMove — The OpenMove trip list is grouped by date with filter chips for active, upcoming, past and cancelled trips, and loads faster. Drivers see booking stops, can scan goods, and location updates keep syncing in the background.
Faster setup and your own portal address — The setup wizard was rebuilt around your company profile, applying settings and message automations in one go. New companies choose their own portal address at sign-up, can resend their verification e-mail, and the customer portal now works well on phones.

September 2026: Map planning, a rebuilt Marketplace and first-to-accept dispatch

Wed, 30 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

August 2026: Transportial Desktop, automatic exceptions and smarter ETAs

Mon, 31 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT

A desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux, automatic planning exceptions, ETAs that respect driver hours, route alternatives, grouped stop handling, read receipts in chat and AI-generated document templates.

Transportial Desktop for Windows, macOS and Linux — Run Transportial as a desktop app with pop-out windows, desktop notifications with an unread badge, automatic updates and an environment switcher. A Perspective menu switches between your settings groups.
Automatic planning exceptions — Transportial now detects trips that have not started, overdue stops, time windows at risk, missing vehicles or drivers, lost vehicle signals and unplanned consignments. Exceptions come with suggested actions and close automatically once they no longer apply.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 receipts, unread markers and an all-messages view — Chats now show when a message was delivered or read by the driver, mark where unread messages start and count unread messages reliably. A new view lists all messages across chats, and avatars appear throughout the app.
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.
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.
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. Each customer now keeps an address book separate from your own locations.
New connectors for trucks, tachographs and accounting — Connect trucks through rFMS (DAF, Daimler, Iveco, MAN, Renault, Scania and Volvo) and FleetAccess, import tachograph files with download deadline tracking, and sync invoices with SnelStart and e-Boekhouden.
Integration tracing, failure alerts and a hosted FTP server — Follow every integration run from object to task to request in a trace view, get notified or e-mailed when an integration fails or stalls, and schedule runs with cron expressions. Partners can upload to an FTP or FTPS server hosted by Transportial.
Custom alert rules and built-in trip checks — Create your own alert rules, including triggers on sensor updates and questionnaire conflicts, switch built-in trip checks on or off, and see alerts update live on trips, vehicles and drivers.

July 2026: Fleet FMS view, a new route planner and driver performance

Fri, 31 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT

Monitor sensors, geofences and tachograph times in the new Fleet FMS view, compare routes with cost and CO2, score driving style, plan from right-click menus and route barge and rail.

Fleet FMS view with live sensors, geofences and fleet alerts — A new Fleet FMS dashboard shows live fuel, speed and sensor readings, sensor charts and vehicle comparisons, tachograph drive times and fleet utilization. Set geofences on locations, get alerts on fuel drops, stale sensors and geofence events, and add your own map layers.
Driving-style scores and driver reviews — Score driving style per vehicle and driver on harsh braking, harsh acceleration and over-speeding, with a fleet leaderboard. Record driver reviews with a category, score and comment.
Route planner with route comparison, cost and CO2 — Compare fastest, cheapest, toll and toll-free routes side by side, see a cost and toll breakdown and well-to-wheel CO2, configure axles and dangerous goods, start from an existing vehicle and export the result to PDF.
Barge and rail routing plus emission reports — Route inland waterway transport with live water levels and rail transport with its own constraints, alongside road, sea and air. Trips get emission reports, and vehicles can carry a CO2 emission class.
Right-click menus, bulk attach and scheduled assignments — Right-click rows to open, plan, print a CMR or reach other actions. Attach several vehicles at once, schedule driver or equipment changes for later, get warned or blocked when a driver is unavailable, and swap vehicles in a fleet with full history.
Order templates and bulk time-window shifts — Save a transport order as a template and create new orders from it. Bulk edit can now move the time windows of many orders earlier or later in one go.
Contracts with numbers, validity and identifiers — Contracts now have contract numbers, validity periods and external identifiers, and can be linked to transport orders. The contract form and list were redesigned.
Automatic team assignment and team-only invoices — Teams can receive new transport orders automatically based on rules. Invoices and quotes carry a team, and you can limit users to seeing their own team's invoices.
Separate status messages from conversations in chat — Automatic status updates from on-board computers are marked as status messages that you can hide and exclude from unread counts. Chats can be marked as unread, and read status can be shared across users for consignment, vehicle and driver chats.
New sign-up with terms acceptance and payment setup — Signing up is simpler: new platforms accept the terms and conditions on activation and can add a payment method straight away or later. The sign-in and registration pages were refreshed.
AI field mapping, integration test assertions and new connectors — Let AI generate data source field mappings, map values with rules, and validate integration tests with assertions that notify you on failure. New connectors include Salesforce, Squarell and TRAVIS truck parking bookings.
Better invoices and quotes, now also in the customer portal — Invoice and quote views and PDFs show sender, bill-to and both references, pricing elements are easier to manage and assigned costs can be locked. Customers can view their invoices and quotes in the portal, and trips and orders can be downloaded as PDF.
Much faster lists, boards and maps — Trip, consignment and order lists load lean rows, vehicle positions are fetched far faster, maps render more quickly and long lists are virtualized, so large fleets stay responsive.
Transport orders and quotes in OpenMove — Users with the right access can view transport orders in OpenMove, and create, send or decline quotes with tax rates and pricing categories, also when offline from the cached list.

June 2026: Compliance overview, AI data assistant and bulk order editing

Tue, 30 Jun 2026 12:00:00 GMT

A compliance overview, pallet balances, fuel transactions and damages for your fleet; an AI assistant that answers questions about your data; bulk editing of transport orders; and a rebuilt setup wizard.

Compliance overview with posting and customs declarations — A new compliance overview shows pending posting declarations, open customs declarations, flagged fuel transactions and open compliance alerts in one place. Cabotage checks and early warnings for expiring certificates help you stay ahead of inspections.
Pallet balances per counterparty — Record pallet movements and see the net pallet balance per counterparty and pallet type, so you know at a glance who owes pallets to whom.
Fuel and energy transactions with automatic flagging — Fuel and charging transactions are listed per vehicle with fuel type, quantity, amount and provider. Transactions where the fueled quantity exceeds the vehicle's tank capacity are flagged for review.
Damage register for vehicles and equipment — Create, update and review damages and link them to a vehicle, transport equipment, consignment or business. Damages now also appear on the vehicle and equipment detail pages.
Fill in vehicle details from the national registry — Enter a license plate and fetch the vehicle's details from a connected national vehicle registry, so you no longer have to type them in by hand.
AI assistant that answers questions about your data — Ask a question in plain language about your trips, orders, invoices or vehicles and the assistant queries your data and answers with a summary and the underlying rows.
Address validation with Google Maps — When enabled, addresses are checked against Google Maps while you enter a location, and you see right away whether the address was found, partially matched or not found.
Bulk edit transport orders — Select many transport orders and change their status, customer, executing business, team or administration in one go, or shift their action time windows by an offset. A summary shows how many orders were updated.
Rebuilt setup wizard for every transport mode — The setup wizard now offers presets for road, sea, rail, air and inland waterway, adds a vehicle-registry step, and imports your existing data from CSV or Excel with AI-suggested column mapping. It is available in multiple languages.
Redesigned transport order PDF and all documents in one place — The transport order PDF has a new layout that also lists transport equipment. Orders, consignments and trips now show all related documents together.
Plan boards and date fields respect your time zone settings — The vehicle, driver and equipment plan boards, date inputs and lists now consistently follow your time zone settings, so planned times line up wherever your team works.
Refreshed icons, tooltips and error pages — A refreshed icon set, tooltips on action buttons, and clearer pages for empty lists and errors make the interface easier to find your way around.
More accurate time-based price calculations — Time-based price modules now use the trip's estimated end date, and vehicle, equipment and driver price modules are applied correctly, so trip prices match your price configuration.
Emails stay in the right conversation — Incoming emails from connected inboxes are matched to the correct thread more reliably, and linked emails show up again on the records they belong to.

May 2026: Planning recommendations, replanning suggestions and chat management

Sun, 31 May 2026 12:00:00 GMT

Ranked vehicle, driver and equipment recommendations, replanning suggestions for exceptions, a bulk availability planner, chat management, Mapon telematics, and OpenMove in your own language.

Planning recommendations for every consignment — A consignment now shows ranked vehicles, drivers, transport equipment, capacity contracts and existing trips that fit it, scored on location, schedule, driving time, ADR, capacity and more. Combine a vehicle, driver and equipment and apply them in one click.
Replanning suggestions for planning exceptions — When an action fails or a trip's timing drifts, Transportial suggests alternatives: a minimal change, a move to another trip, or a full replan. Evaluate the cost and delay impact, then accept or dismiss each suggestion.
Bulk availability planner and blocking events — Create recurring calendar events, driver timeslots or to-dos for many drivers and pieces of equipment at once. Select them with filters such as language, ADR or license, and preview the matches before you save. Events can now block availability, and driver activities can repeat.
Manage chats: members, permissions and visibility — A new manage-chat page lets you add or remove members, set their permission (read, chat or admin), make a chat public or private, view linked integrations, and delete a chat.
Emails linked to orders automatically, and chat replies by email — Emails from connected inboxes are matched to the right records and their attachments classified automatically. You can also send a chat reply as an email reply, and the mail view shows full sender and Reply-To details.
Mapon telematics integration — Connect Mapon to import vehicles and positions, send planning to the vehicle, receive progress updates and exchange text messages with drivers.
Plan board shows trips, activities and events together — Vehicle, driver and equipment lanes now show trips, activities, calendar events and to-dos side by side. Trip cards show their load, and dragging on the vehicle table works reliably.
CO2 emissions calculated per leg and per trip — Well-to-wheel and tank-to-wheel CO2 emissions are now recalculated for each leg and for the whole trip, based on the distance driven and the vehicle's fuel type and emission standard.
More complete CMR printing — CMRs are now generated by the PDF service, include realized durations, and fill their fields more completely and consistently.
More accurate AI order import from files and emails — AI extraction of transport orders, quotes and invoices from documents and emails is more accurate, while running on more cost-efficient models.
Filters and pages you can bookmark and share — List filters and pagination are now stored in the page address, so the back button, bookmarks and shared links open exactly the view you were looking at.
Transportial now available in French and Romanian — French and Romanian were added as interface languages.
OpenMove in your own language, with chat translation — OpenMove is now fully translated, including Dutch, and has a language selector on the login screen and in the profile that saves your choice to your account. Chat messages can be shown translated into your language.
More reliable OpenMove sessions — Logging out now clears all cached trips, chats and questionnaires from the device, accounts without a driver profile get a clear message instead of an error, and an issue where trip details kept loading was fixed.

April 2026: Workflows, App Store publishing and customer portal chat

Thu, 30 Apr 2026 12:00:00 GMT

Build automations in the visual workflow designer, publish apps to the App Store, chat with customers in the portal, compare route alternatives, and invoice straight from a transport order.

Workflows with a visual designer — Build automations step by step in a visual designer. Start them from an event, a schedule or by hand, then add conditions, HTTP requests, entity updates, messages, delays, queries and variables. Every run is logged.
Publish apps to the App Store — Developers can publish apps with screenshots and free, one-time, subscription or usage-based pricing, submit them for review, manage API tokens, and follow installs and ratings. Users can read and write app reviews.
Chat with your customers in the customer portal — Customers can now chat with your team directly from the customer portal. You choose whether the chat is shown in the portal.
Automatic translation of chat messages — Turn on automatic translation so chat messages between planners and drivers who speak different languages are translated for each reader.
Bulk availability with rotation schedules — Set availability for many drivers or pieces of transport equipment at once from the planners, including rotation patterns such as a number of weeks on followed by weeks off.
Compare route alternatives and drag routes on the map — When calculating a trip route, compare fastest, eco and cheapest alternatives on toll, travel time and emissions. You can also drag the route on the map to reshape it, and it is recalculated as you go.
Invoice straight from a transport order — Create an invoice from a transport order in one click. Payment status is now synced back from Exact Online, Moneybird and Twinfield, so you can see which invoices have been paid.
Download orders, quotes and invoices in another language — Pick a language when downloading a transport order, quote or invoice PDF, so every customer receives documents in their own language. Transport order views and PDFs also show delivery terms.
Rail, inland waterway and air bookings — Besides road, you can now record bookings for rail, inland waterway and air legs on your trips, so multimodal transport is planned in one place.
Preview files without downloading them — A new file viewer opens documents and images right in Transportial, and file types are recognized more reliably.
Plan directly from a consignment and create trips faster — Start planning straight from a consignment's detail view. Splitting an order into legs and turning them into trips takes fewer steps.
Smarter optimizer and a choice of optimizer engine — The optimizer can now split trips, swap and relocate consignments between trips, and use idle vehicles, which leads to better-filled trips. You can also choose which route optimizer engine your platform uses.
Bulk actions and smarter filters in lists — Set several vehicles, drivers, transport equipment or businesses to operational or inactive, or delete them, in one go. Transport order and consignment lists have more useful default filters, and grouped actions are shown together.
OpenMove: links open in the app and clearer sign-in help — Links to OpenMove now open in the app, a contact screen was added, password-recovery errors are explained clearly, and location updates are sent from the dashboard.

March 2026: Customer portal, setup wizard and the bulk trip planner

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 12:00:00 GMT

A rebuilt customer portal, a guided setup wizard, splitting orders into multimodal legs, online invoice payments, freight exchange and ferry booking connectors, and OpenMove that works offline.

New customer portal — Your customers get a redesigned portal with an overview, their orders, quotes, invoices, public documents, live tracking and a form to request new orders. You decide per platform what the portal shows.
Guided setup wizard and access requests — New platforms are walked through company profile, fleet, administration, consignment and equipment types, data import and automations. People can also request access to an existing platform; admins approve or decline and the requester is notified by e-mail.
Bulk trip planner and order splitting into legs — Select many consignments, define legs with a destination and transport mode (for example pre-haul, ferry, last mile), split them into trips and assign vehicles, capacity contracts or bookings per leg in one go. A single transport order can also be split into legs with its own stops, carrier quote and pricing.
Customers can pay invoices online — Shared invoices now have a Pay now button so customers can pay through a connected payment provider, with the payment confirmed back on the invoice.
Marketplace connects to external freight exchanges — Publish loads to and fetch offers from Timocom, Trans.eu, Teleroute, DAT, Freightos and Sennder, and receive tenders from partners through an inbound API. New filters and sorting on bids and target prices, plus accept-and-plan in one step.
Ferry bookings, container tracking and container reuse — Send, update and cancel ferry bookings with DFDS, Stena Line, P&O Ferries and CLdN, with confirmations flowing back automatically. Track container shipments through SeaRates and manage container reuse requests through Avantida.
Activity log and version history — Transport orders, trips, invoices and quotes get an Activity tab showing who did what and when, and you can browse an entity's earlier versions to see exactly what changed.
Test your integrations with saved test cases — Store example input and expected output for an integration and run one or all tests to see pass or fail before changes go live. Failed webhook deliveries can now be retried.
New optimizer engine and more routing engines — Choose a new optimizer engine for automatic trip creation and calculate routes with OSRM, HERE or Google Maps besides PTV. The consignment optimizer also learned to relocate, swap, merge and split trips for better results.
Fillable document templates, new CMR and template PDFs — Document templates support input fields, SVG images and richer styling, can be sent automatically by message automations and capacity contracts, and trips can be downloaded with your own template. The CMR and transport order PDFs were improved, with optional quote lines on the order PDF.
Ledger by category and expected-versus-actual variance — The ledger groups revenue and cost by business, by pricing category or combined, and shows how actual figures compare to what was expected. Incoming invoices can be checked against an incoming quote or pricing element, and price matrices can be pasted straight from Excel.
Complete all actions at once and record start and end km — Planners can complete all remaining actions of a trip in one step with a start and end time, and register the trip's start and end odometer readings. Trips with loading plans show a Stacking tab.
Better filters, dashboard widgets and chat filters — New filters for trips, vehicles, consignments, capacity contracts and teams, a search builder for advanced queries, extra embeddable widgets, the option to hide dashboard elements, and chat filters for direct, group, vehicle and consignment chats.
OpenMove keeps working without a connection — Trips, the dashboard, chat, notifications and questionnaires are cached on the device and synchronize when the connection returns. The app also got a dark theme and refreshed icons.

February 2026: App Store, report query builder and invoice approvals

Sat, 28 Feb 2026 12:00:00 GMT

A new App Store, a query builder for your own reports, invoice approval flows, bulk actions on invoices and quotes, public trip tracking with visibility settings, and much faster trip loading.

App Store to browse and install apps — Browse apps by category, read their permissions and version history, install or uninstall them and manage their settings from one place.
Build your own reports with the query builder — A new Reporting tab on the dashboard lets you write and run queries on your own data, page through results and save queries for later.
Invoice approvals and team managers — Incoming invoices can require approval: approvers get a notification and a Pending approvals list to approve or reject. Teams can now have managers, and incoming invoices are never marked as paid automatically.
Bulk actions for invoices and quotes — Select multiple invoices to send, mark as paid, send reminders, approve, cancel or delete them, and turn several quotes into invoices at once.
Public trip tracking with visibility settings — Shared transport order links can show live trip tracking, and you choose whether the vehicle, driver, documents and customer details are visible to the recipient.
Document templates rendered as PDF everywhere — Templates gained link and conditional elements, borders per side and italic text, and are rendered to PDF by a dedicated service. Message automations can attach documents generated from templates or insight reports.
Trips load and update much faster — Opening, saving and live-updating trips is significantly faster thanks to optimized data loading, caching and batched live updates, and trip edits are debounced in the interface.
Smarter planning: action sorting, utilization and filters — Optionally sort a trip's actions by distance when you drop a consignment on it, see a trip's utilization, filter resources by availability, configure the optimizer algorithm and reverse a trip's route. Vehicles and equipment now record loading dimensions.
Expected and actual costs and revenue per trip — Expected cost and revenue are stored for orders, trips and consignments, combined trips show their joint financials, and the ledger can be viewed relative to the selected entity.
Exact Online sync for invoices, quotes and documents — Invoices and quotes are re-synced to Exact Online when they change, including their PDF documents and the right journal codes, with duplicate detection.
Trip completion by the planner and transport order terms — Platforms can require a planner to complete trips before invoices and integrations are triggered. Terms and conditions per administration are printed on transport order, quote and invoice PDFs, and the trip CMR can be opened from the trip.
No more duplicate invoices and corrected order statuses — Fixed invoices being created twice, ledger entries clashing between modules, and transport order status and average duration calculations.
Trip confirmation for admins in OpenMove — Admin users can confirm trips directly from the trip details in OpenMove, and trips are sorted more logically by status.

January 2026: Email client, document designer and AI-generated setups

Fri, 30 Jan 2026 12:00:00 GMT

Read and send email inside Transportial, design your own documents, let AI draft integrations, message automations and price modules, and answer action questionnaires in OpenMove.

Email client inside Transportial — Read, search, compose, reply to and forward email from a full email client with folders, labels and signatures. Connect a mailbox over IMAP/SMTP or Microsoft 365, share inboxes with colleagues using read, write or admin rights, and link emails to transport orders and consignments.
Design your own document templates — A drag-and-drop document designer with text, images, shapes, tables, barcodes, QR codes and repeaters bound to your data. Create templates for CMRs, waybills, invoices, quotes, transport orders and trips, preview them with sample data and download PDFs.
Generate integrations, automations and price modules with AI — Describe what you need, optionally upload API documentation, rate cards or contracts, and AI drafts the integration, message automation or price modules for you to review.
Action result questionnaires — Configure questionnaires per action type with text, number, select, date, photo and signature questions. Drivers answer them in OpenMove when completing an action, and planners can fill them in from trip execution.
Recurring subscription price modules — A new price module charges a fixed amount per period, for example per driver per month, with optional pro-rata calculation based on start and end dates.
Select multiple rows and act on them at once — Tables support multi-select with bulk actions, starting with cancelling several transport orders in one go.
Capacity contracts with drivers and equipment — Capacity contracts can now supply drivers or transport equipment instead of only vehicles, which are then used on trips, and can be filtered by type. Completed or cancelled trips release them automatically.
Expected and actual figures in the ledger — The ledger now shows expected and actual revenue and cost side by side.
Optimizer uses real road distances from PTV — The optimizer calculates distance matrices through PTV (including PTV Developer) and cached routes, and only calculates full routes once trips are final.
Vehicle activity tab and loading plan calculation — Vehicles have an Activity tab and a speed view on the map, and consignments can calculate or recalculate their loading plan. Insights can hide empty tables.
OpenMove shows your most important trips first — The trip list is sorted by status priority, and live updates only include trips assigned to the signed-in driver.
Fixes for quotes, goods, uploads and notifications — Fixed the quote creation flow, stacking of nested goods, file uploads, notification settings, EVO GPS authentication and message automations triggered by trip updates.

December 2025: Action questionnaires, automation preferences and a new trip map

Wed, 31 Dec 2025 12:00:00 GMT

Configurable questionnaires when completing stops, per-user message automation preferences, a new trip map with live indicator, more optimizer controls and multi-division Exact Online.

Questionnaires when completing a stop — Define questions per action type, with conditions, signatures, photos and field mappings, and have them answered when a stop is executed. The answers fill in the action result and can determine its status.
Choose which message automations you receive — Automations can be marked as user-toggleable, with permission filters deciding who sees them. Each user can then switch these notifications on or off in their own settings.
New trip map with route overview and live indicator — The trip detail has a redesigned map with controls, a legend and a route overview of all stops. A live indicator shows whether your screen is receiving real-time updates.
More control over the optimizer — Advanced optimizer settings let you set vehicle operating intervals, maximum driving and total periods, and choose to ignore location, consignment or action constraints for a run.
Defer heavy calculations until a trip is confirmed — New planning settings let you postpone road-route, capacity and financial calculations until a trip is confirmed, which keeps planning fast on busy boards.
Exact Online: multiple divisions and sales orders — The Exact Online integration now supports multiple divisions, imports sales orders and books invoices as ledger entries with the right VAT and general ledger codes.
More accurate costs and revenue across orders and trips — Costs and revenue are now attributed per consignment and kept in sync between transport orders, consignments and trips, including route expenses and location pricing.
Reworked EvoGPS integration — The EvoGPS connection now imports vehicles, drivers, driver status and detailed vehicle data.
Faster, more reliable document previews — File previews, including PDFs and e-mails, now load through Transportial itself, so documents open reliably without leaving the app.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

The first year of Transportial set the foundation: transport orders on the Open Trip Model, vehicles and fleets, relations and locations, chat and e-mail, and a documented REST API.

Transport orders built on the Open Trip Model — Create transport orders with consignments, goods and actions, using the Open Trip Model (OTM 5) as the data standard.
Goods with dangerous goods (ADR) details — Describe the goods in each consignment, including ADR information for dangerous goods.
Vehicles, vehicle groups and fleets — Register your vehicles and organize them into vehicle groups and fleets.
Board computers and sensors — Link board computers to vehicles and view sensor data for each vehicle.
Businesses, customers and locations — Manage the businesses you work with, your customers, and the locations where you load and unload.
Chat and e-mail — Chat with colleagues and read imported e-mails inside Transportial.
Message templates and notifications — Save reusable message templates and receive notifications about what happens on your platform.
Registration, login and user settings — Create an account, log in securely and manage your user profile.
Search across your data — Search and filter orders, vehicles, locations and other records from list views.
Permissions and transport constraints — Control what users can do through route-level permissions. You can also define constraints, such as vehicle or time requirements, on orders and resources.
