This quarter, we're thrilled to unveil a host of groundbreaking features and enhancements designed to streamline your logistics and empower your business.

Manifests

Weight & Temperature Support

Vektor now calculates total max weight hauled during LTL / Partial shipments, and shows temperature required by all orders.

Collapse/Expand Sections

Created an ability to hide manifest details and map to have a larger list of order dataset for a more full-size table experience.

Orders

Updated AI Extraction Model & Added Commodity Support

The updated LMM manages to process 20x larger order sheets in almost 2x less time than before while considering the extended context of order information.

Equipment Type Management

We've introduced a new feature that allows you to create, edit, and delete equipment types used in orders within the settings. You can also enable temperature control for each equipment type. This feature gives you more flexibility in managing custom equipment types used in your operation.

Start Stop Returns!

The Start Stop feature, used to define the starting points & visualizing empty miles, has been improved and brought back to production.

Brokers & Customers

Improved Transaction View

The debit and credit transactions view has been adjusted to provide a more accurate and precise representation in the table.
