Release History:
Release v1.10 – March 16, 2026
The v1.10 release introduces enhancements to the CargoSpot platform that improve RFP visibility, notification management flexibility, shipment operational tracking, and financial accuracy. This release also strengthens invoice compliance features, enables global team management controls, and enhances automated exception monitoring to support better operational oversight and collaboration across the platform.
Details of new features and enhancements:
1. Carrier Activity Tracking for RFP Bidding
A new Carrier Activity page has been introduced in the RFP Admin Portal to provide visibility into carrier engagement and bidding activity for each RFP. This feature allows RFP Admin users to monitor carrier participation and track bidding progress in real time.
The Carrier Activity page displays key engagement metrics including Carrier Name, Read Instructions status, Bid Entered status, Submitted status, Bid Count, Total Lanes, and Activity Message. The activity message dynamically reflects the carrier’s current progress, such as No activity yet, Draft bids in progress, or Submitted.
Users can access this page directly from both the RFP List Page and the RFP View Page via the new Carrier Activity button available for each RFP.
To improve usability, the page includes filtering capabilities that allow users to refine results by Carrier Name, Read Instructions status, Bid Entered status, and Submitted status. Multiple filters can be applied simultaneously to quickly identify carriers who have engaged with the RFP, entered bids, or completed submission.
This enhancement provides greater transparency into the bidding lifecycle and enables administrators to proactively follow up with carriers during the RFP process.
2. Custom Invoice Enhancements for International Compliance
Invoice functionality has been enhanced to support more accurate and compliant international shipping documentation.
Users can now select a Country of Origin for each goods line item when creating or editing an invoice. The selected value is stored per line item and automatically displayed in the generated Invoice PDF, ensuring that shipment documentation accurately reflects the origin of goods.
Additionally, several invoice formatting improvements have been introduced.
These improvements ensure invoice documents remain flexible, accurate, and compliant with international shipping requirements.
3. Global Team Creation Based on Permission
Team management capabilities have been enhanced to support Global Team creation based on user permissions.
Users who are granted the Global Team Creation permission can now create teams that are categorized at the global level by enabling the Global checkbox during team creation. These teams are available for broader organizational configuration and management.
For users who do not have the required permission, the Global Team option remains hidden to prevent unauthorized configuration.
This permission-based control ensures that only authorized administrators can create and manage teams intended for organization-wide use.
4. Notification Management Scope Selection Enhancement
Notification Management has been enhanced with a new Scope Selection popup to provide greater flexibility when managing notification settings.
When the Notification Management page is opened for the first time, the system defaults to Scope: For Me, automatically loading notification settings specific to the logged-in user.
Users can change the scope by clicking the Scope button, which opens a popup allowing them to select from four scope options:
For Me
For Users
Teams
For Organization
Depending on the selected option, users can choose one or multiple users or teams from a dropdown to view or manage their notification settings. The system displays selected users or teams as pills within the Notification Settings page for clarity.
The selected scope applies only to the current session and does not persist across future visits. When the user logs in again or revisits the page later, the scope automatically resets to For Me.
This enhancement ensures more intuitive and context-aware management of notification configurations across users, teams, and organizations.
5. Shipment-Level Truck and Trailer Number Capture
Shipment operational data capture has been simplified by allowing users to enter Truck Number and Trailer Number directly at the shipment level.
The previous Vehicle selection dropdown and vehicle assignment functionality have been removed from the shipment creation and management pages. Instead, users can now optionally enter truck and trailer numbers using dedicated text fields.
Both fields are optional, allowing shipments to be saved even when these values are not provided. Users can add, update, or clear these values at any time from the shipment manage page.
This enhancement enables operational teams to record equipment details quickly without requiring vehicle or driver master records, making the system more flexible for real-world dispatch scenarios.
6. Customer Special Instructions in Carrier Rate Confirmations
Customer management has been enhanced to support Special Instructions captured directly within the Customer Master.
Users can now enter free-text instructions while creating or editing a customer record. These instructions are stored at the customer level and automatically copied into the Carrier Rate Confirmation document whenever a shipment is created for that customer.
The instructions are applied consistently across all shipments associated with the customer. If no instructions are defined in the Customer Master, the Carrier Rate Confirmation document remains unchanged.
This enhancement ensures that recurring operational instructions or requirements are consistently communicated to carriers without requiring manual entry for each shipment.
7. Broker Commission Calculation Based on Shipment Margin
Broker commission calculations have been enhanced to ensure accurate and automated payout calculations based on shipment profitability.
The system now calculates margin using the formula:
Margin = Customer Cost − Carrier Cost
Broker commissions are then calculated using the configured commission percentage:
Commission = Margin × Commission %
Commission percentages are maintained at the team-member level and are automatically populated when a customer is assigned to a team. Each team member can have a different predefined commission percentage, allowing commissions to be calculated individually for multiple team members associated with the same customer.
This enhancement eliminates the need for manual commission entry and ensures consistent and accurate commission calculations based on actual shipment margins.
8. Automated “Missing Location Update” Exception Monitoring
CargoSpot’s exception monitoring capabilities have been enhanced with automated evaluation and application of the Missing Location Update exception.
When enabled at the organization level, the system continuously monitors shipment tracking updates received from Mobile App or ELD devices. If no location update is received within the configured threshold duration, the system automatically applies the Missing Location Update exception to the shipment.
Upon triggering the exception, the system generates an exception event and sends email notifications to subscribed users. If a shipment already has an active Missing Location Update exception, the system prevents duplicate notifications and repeated exception events.
Once a valid tracking update is received, the system automatically clears the exception status, ensuring the shipment no longer appears under active Missing Location Update exceptions.
The system also supports scheduled rule versions, ensuring that only the current effective rule configuration is evaluated during monitoring.
This enhancement strengthens operational visibility and ensures timely alerts when shipment tracking updates are delayed or interrupted.
Release v1.9 – March 09, 2026
The v1.9 release focuses on strengthening carrier identification capabilities, enhancing financial reconciliation visibility, improving shipment data governance during duplication, enforcing master data validation standards, expanding automated cost calculation logic, and ensuring strict carrier offer lifecycle control within the CargoSpot TMS platform. This release builds upon existing shipment execution and financial management workflows while introducing enhanced search flexibility, structured audit reporting, controlled duplication validation, and automated cost recalculation mechanisms to improve operational accuracy, compliance, and overall execution efficiency.
Details of new features and enhancements:
1. Enhanced Carrier Search by SCAC, MC Number, and DOT Number
Carrier search functionality has been enhanced to support additional industry identifiers beyond Carrier Name. CargoSpot users can now search carriers using SCAC, MC Number, or DOT Number across key operational areas including Shipment Manage (Send Offer and Add Carriers Manually), Shipment Creation (Carrier selection), and Carrier Master search. The search retrieves results only when these identifiers are available in the carrier master data. This enhancement improves search precision, accelerates carrier identification, and reduces dependency on name-based matching.
2. Introduction of Shipment Audit Report
Financial reporting capabilities have been expanded with the introduction of a new report titled “Shipment Audit Report” under the Reports section. Designed for Finance and Audit users within the CargoSpot organization, this report consolidates shipment-level financial data from Shipment, Shipment Audit (Carrier Cost), Vendor Bill, and Customer Invoice modules.
The report displays key reconciliation fields including Shipment Number, BOL Number, Vendor Bill Number, Total Carrier Cost, Customer Invoice Number, Total Shipment Invoice Amount, and Variance (Invoice Amount – Carrier Cost). It supports search by Shipment Number, date filtering aligned with the Shipment Savings Report, and CSV export functionality. This enhancement strengthens financial transparency, margin validation, and audit readiness.
3. Inactive Stops and Items Validation During Shipment Duplication
Shipment duplication workflows have been enhanced with structured validation for inactive operational data. When duplicating a shipment containing inactive stops, inactive items, or inactive contacts, the system now pauses the duplication process and displays a confirmation popup titled “Review Inactive Shipment Details.”
The popup clearly lists inactive stops, items, and contacts and requires explicit user confirmation before proceeding. If the user chooses to proceed, the New Shipment page opens in duplicate mode with all active data prefilled while excluding inactive records. If cancelled, duplication is aborted and the user remains on the current shipment page. When no inactive records exist, duplication proceeds without interruption. This enhancement ensures data integrity and prevents unintended replication of inactive records.
4. Contact Name Length Restriction in Stop Master
Master data validation has been strengthened by limiting the Contact Name field in the Stop Master Contact section to a maximum of 35 characters. The system prevents entry beyond the limit during creation and edit, validates pasted values exceeding the limit, and displays a clear validation message when necessary.
Existing records with values exceeding 35 characters will continue to display as stored; however, upon edit and save, the 35-character limit will be enforced. This enhancement improves data consistency, formatting compliance, and overall master data quality.
5. Support for Flat and % By Miles Calculation Type for Cost Items (FTL – Carrier Cost Only)
Cost item configuration has been enhanced by introducing a Calculation Type field in the Cost Item Master, applicable to Carrier Cost for FTL shipments. Users can now define cost items as either Flat or % By Miles. All existing cost items default to Flat.
For Flat calculation types, shipment-level behavior remains unchanged with an editable Amount field.
For % By Miles calculation types, a mandatory Percentage field is required at the master level. When added to a shipment, the Percentage auto-populates from master data. The Miles field is available in the Basic Details section and remains editable.
If a user adds a cost item with Calculation Type set to % By Miles and attempts to save the shipment without entering a Miles value, the system will display a validation message prompting the user to enter the Miles value and prevent the shipment from being saved.
When a valid Miles value is entered, the system automatically calculates the Amount using the formula:
Amount = Percentage × Miles
The calculated Amount is system-generated and automatically recalculates whenever the Miles value is updated.
This enhancement enables controlled mileage-based cost automation while ensuring required inputs are validated at the shipment level to maintain calculation accuracy and data integrity.
6. Automatic Cancellation of Carrier Offers on Cost or Carrier Changes
Carrier offer lifecycle control has been enhanced to prevent outdated offers from remaining active when shipment cost details or carrier assignments change.
If shipment cost details are modified before an offer is accepted, the system automatically updates the existing offer status to Cancelled, clears the active offer from the Manage Shipment page, maintains the shipment status as Covered, and requires the Admin to resend the offer. All changes are logged for audit purposes.
If an assigned carrier is removed while an offer exists (Sent or Accepted), the system cancels the existing offer, removes the carrier assignment, updates the shipment status to Tendered, and allows the Admin to select a new carrier and resend an offer. Confirmation messaging and activity logging ensure transparency and compliance.
This enhancement strengthens governance, ensures offer validity, and improves operational control across carrier collaboration workflows.
Release v1.8 – March 02, 2026
The v1.8 release focuses on enhancing routing rule–based cost negotiation workflows, strengthening automated exception monitoring, improving shipment quantity tracking accuracy, and expanding operational automation within the CargoSpot TMS platform. This release builds upon existing carrier offer management capabilities while introducing structured routing integration, configurable exception rules, and improved shipment management controls to enhance overall execution visibility and collaboration efficiency.
Details of new features and enhancements:
1. Routing Rule–Based Counter Offer Management
Cost negotiation workflows have been enhanced by enabling CargoSpot Admin users with appropriate permissions to accept or reject counter offers received from carriers through routing rules. When a carrier submits a counter offer, the routing process automatically pauses, allowing the Admin to review and take action. Upon acceptance, the shipment proceeds with the updated cost, and upon rejection, the routing process continues based on the configured priority sequence. This enhancement ensures controlled cost governance while maintaining automated routing efficiency.
2. Carrier Accept, Reject, or Counter Cost Offer via Routing Rules
Carrier collaboration has been enhanced by allowing carriers to accept, reject, or submit a counter cost offer in response to shipment cost offers received through routing rules. This structured response capability ensures transparent negotiation handling, improves traceability, and keeps the routing process synchronized with carrier decisions.
3. Shipment-Level Cost Offer Sending (FTL Only)
Shipment-level cost offer functionality has been enhanced to support routing-based offers for FTL shipments. Carriers can receive shipment offers with predefined cost configured in routing rules or with blank cost requiring carrier submission. The offer is sent only to the current priority carrier, routing pauses during counter-offer review, and all active carrier contact emails receive the Cost Offer. This enhancement improves cost flexibility while maintaining routing discipline and negotiation traceability.
4. Create a New Exception Rule
Operational monitoring capabilities have been enhanced with the introduction of configurable Exception Rules. CargoSpot users with appropriate permissions can create exception rules with triggers, conditions, and actions so that shipments are automatically monitored and notifications are sent when defined criteria are met. This enhancement strengthens proactive shipment oversight and reduces manual monitoring efforts.
5. Access and View Exception Rules
Visibility into shipment monitoring has been improved by allowing CargoSpot users with appropriate permissions to view all configured exception rules at the organization level. This enhancement ensures transparency into active monitoring logic and provides better governance over automated shipment controls.
6. Handling Quantity per Stop (Pickup & Delivery)
Shipment quantity tracking has been enhanced by enabling handling quantities to be defined per pickup and delivery stop for FTL shipments. Handling quantity applies to both pickup and delivery stops, each stop appears only once in the handling quantity section based on stop sequence number, and the total quantity is automatically calculated as the sum of all stop quantities. If a stop is removed, its corresponding handling quantity entry is also removed. This functionality is available in Shipment Creation and the Manage page (Item Section Flyout), improving operational accuracy and execution clarity.
7. Auto-Send Tracking Link on Shipment Status Change
Communication workflows have been enhanced by enabling the system to automatically send the shipment tracking link when a shipment reaches a configured status. This enhancement ensures customers receive tracking updates without manual intervention, improving service responsiveness and shipment visibility.
8. Shipment Manage – Stop Contact Edit
Stop-level contact management has been enhanced within the Shipment Manage page. Users can now add a new contact to a stop or edit an existing contact, with an option to update the contact change in the Stop Master.
