Dangerous Goods Improvements

Managing Dangerous Goods (DG) shipments is now easier and more flexible.

When adding DG information to items with a quantity greater than one, users can now choose whether the DG details apply to a single item or all items within the line. This removes the need for unnecessary manual item splitting and provides greater flexibility when entering DG shipments. The SKU field has been renamed to Description throughout the DG creation screens.

We've also introduced support for multiple DG lines, improved visibility of DG quantities and weights, and added shipment-level DG totals to the Items table.

Benefits

  • Faster DG data entry

  • Improved visibility of DG quantities and weights

  • Reduced manual item management

  • Better shipment-level reporting


Shipment Totals Added to the Items Table

The Items table now includes shipment-level totals for:

  • Quantity

  • Weight

  • Volume

  • DG Quantity

  • DG Weight

This provides a quick summary of shipment contents without needing to calculate item totals manually.


Duplicate Shipment Items

Creating shipments with multiple identical items is now significantly faster.

Users can duplicate an existing item directly from the shipment screen, including all dimensions, weights, contents and Dangerous Goods information.

Benefits

  • Reduces repetitive data entry

  • Speeds up shipment creation

  • Improves consistency across item records


Share Paperwork Directly from Shipment Lists

Paperwork can now be shared directly from shipment tables without opening the shipment first.

Available paperwork includes:

  • Labels

  • Manifests

  • Shipment Notes

  • DG Paperwork

  • Commercial Invoices

  • Proforma Invoices

Multiple recipients can be added and users can choose to receive a copy themselves.

Benefits

  • Faster document distribution

  • Fewer clicks

  • Improved customer communication


Manual Carrier Override Justifications

Customers can now require users to provide a reason when selecting a carrier service that is not the lowest-cost option.

When enabled at the team level, any manual carrier override must include a justification, which is then available for review within reporting.

Benefits

  • Improved cost visibility

  • Better operational accountability

  • Increased transparency around carrier selection decisions


Label Printed Status Indicators

Shipment tables now display a printed status indicator, making it easier to identify which shipments still require labels.

Colour-coded indicators show whether:

  • All labels have been printed

  • Some labels have been printed

  • No labels have been printed

Printed status is also available at an item level within the shipment tray.

*PLEASE NOTE LABELS PRINTED BEFORE 27/08/26 WILL SHOW AS NOT PRINTED*

Benefits

  • Reduces missed labels

  • Improves warehouse visibility

  • Supports smoother dispatch operations


Quotes Experience Enhancements

We've simplified the quoting workflow to make quote creation and management faster.

What's New

  • Quotes can now be created without first calculating rates.

  • Lowest Cost selection will automatically identify the most economical service.

  • Quotes can now be edited directly from the quote screen.

  • Improved error handling and messaging throughout the quote process.
