    TransFollow Drive App
    • Limit RTI types allowed
    We limited the RTI types to make it easier for carriers to act. During configuration, submitters can set which transfer types should be excluded. This ensures that the chosen transfer options align more effectively with carriers' specific cases.
    • Indicate picture already taken
    Previously we added a feature to add a mandatary picture before signing process. In some cases that observations with an picture already taken yet not in the signing process, we have added a new checkbox where you can indicate you have already added the picture and by selecting the checkbox you are allowed to move on to the next step.

    TransFollow Drive App
    • Freight Documents Delivered at End UX
    To enhance the user experience, we have made adjustments to the sorting functionality. Now, you can simply check the 'Show delivered at the end' checkbox, and the updated ordering overview will appear when you press back, eliminating the need to select a different sorting section.  
    • Overview Goods Icon Redesign
    In the document overview, we have replaced the icon indicating 'The goods have been adjusted' on the freight document with a yellow tag in text format. This change makes it more clear and concise for viewers to identify. We added two new buttons in the document overview: the 'Observations' icon and the 'Open PDF' icon. Clicking on the 'Observations' icon allows you to view a preview of the added observations, while clicking on the 'Open PDF' icon directly opens the corresponding PDF file.  
    • Vehicle added to FD overview
    We added ‘Vehicle’ as a new selection in the Column options in the document overview. If clients require vehicle information, they can easily include it in the Freight Document overview by simply ticking the checkbox of 'Vehicle' in the Column options.
    • Goods Indication on observation
    The “Good Indicate” feature had been added in TransFollow App and API, allowing you to easily associate observations with specific goods. Now this feature is also available on Portal and PDF.  
    API

When adding an observation, by selecting the relevant good/ADR from a dropdown menu, you can add comments and track the status of individual goods. Multiple observations can be created, and the good information will be visible on the Freight Document. This feature is currently available in both the TransFollow App and API.
    • Freight Forwarder on Transports
    We added the Freight Forwarder as a new role, allowing them to collaborate with the submitter in managing transports. The submitter can appoint a Freight Forwarder when creating a transport. Then the selected Freight Forwarder is able to edit the transport in their account and assign their carrier partner to the transport. You can add a Freight Forwarder in the Partner section. Once the transport is issued, the freight forwarder will have the visibility right. This feature is only available through the portal.
    • Search by Order Number
    We introduced a new filter – order number filter, to improve the document search performance. When the specific order number is filled in, all the Freight Documents associated with this order number will be displayed.
    • Delete Freight Document Supplement Attachment
    We enabled the option to remove supplement attachments directly within the portal. This feature allows you to rectify any mistakes made during the operation, ensuring that incorrect files can be easily removed.

    • Duplicate Multiple RTIs
    Drivers now have a quicker way to add already existing RTIs to different categories on the freight document when delivering and picking up at the same location. In the RTIs section, a duplicate button has been added per category.  
    • Separate Edit/Add Goods Permissions
    We have separated the edit and add goods permissions, allowing carriers to either edit or add goods individually. This update provides submitters (shippers) with better control over the actions carriers can perform. The same also applies to pre-defined RTIs.

    You can now add a trader identification number to a partner not only through the portal but also via the app when adding a partner. If the selected partner already has a number, it will be automatically filled in.

    All
    • Show Issued Goods Amount

In this case, any activities or editing on freight documents will not affect this sequence of documents. TransFollow Drive App
    • Change Transference Type
    If the carrier made a mistake on an RTI (returnable transport item), now the carrier is possible to correct this by re-editing the details of the RTI and changing its Transference Type. TransFollow Drive App RTI re-editing
    • Mandatory Sign-on-Glass info
    During the Sign-on-Glass inspection, the counterparty usually needs to fill in some fields while handling the goods. We made it possible for submitters of the freight documents to decide which of the fields is mandatory for the counterparty to fill based on their different use cases.

    On the Drive app, when you create a freight document, there is a new button - PICK LOCATION added for Roles.

  • TransFollow Drive App
    • Add GPS coordinates
    The location presented on roles is optimized by adding GPS coordinates.

This applies to TransFollow Portal and via TF Connect Integrations.
    • Disable Updating Goods/RTIs individually
    The submitter can now set the options to allow carriers to edit Goods/RTIs individually. It allows submitters to have greater control over what can be adjusted and what can only be read for carriers in the operation.
