2026-01 Update Log

We are kicking off the new year with a significant release. From a complete overhaul of how you handle Purchase Orders to the introduction of Google Sign-In and mandatory security protocols, there is a lot to cover.

Security & Authentication

We have added Sign in with Google to the main login page. This allows for a faster, more secure way to access your account.

Requirement: Your Transmas email address must match your Google email.
Privacy: We do not access your Google account data; we simply use it as a secure authentication method.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) Enforcement

To ensure your data remains protected, users who have not yet enabled 2FA will now be prompted to set it up upon login.

Admin Controls: Administrators can now make 2FA a requirement for all users within their organization. Administrators can now also toggle which login methods are valid for their organization (Password, Google, or TDi). These can be found within Company Settings.
Deadline: Please note that 2FA will be a mandatory requirement for all Company Administrators starting 1st March 2026.

Major Enhancement: Full Purchase Orders

While Subcontractor POs have been a staple for years, we’ve taken the system to the next level. You can now create Manual POs for any purpose.

Full Approval System: Administrators can set specific approval limits on user profiles. If a PO exceeds a user's limit, the system will trigger a notification for approval.
Financial Integration: Added VAT and nominal code support directly into the PO flow to prepare for integration with accounting systems. Currently it integrates with Sage but we are still working on other platforms.
Visibility & Search: PO costs are now visible in the order financial tab, and can find POs directly from the quick search screen,
Load Recalculation: When a PO is linked to an order, load costings will automatically recalculate when the order is scheduled.

Note: We are still building out some aspects of this function. Help docs are on the way, but please try it out and let us know your feedback!

Automated Purchase Invoices

Following requests from our users, Purchase Invoices can now be automatically imported into your accounts system, similar to Sales Invoices.

Setup: To ensure data integrity, you must now assign a nominal code and tax code to each line. This can be done during PO creation or at the final stage.

UI Tweaks & Modernization

New header design: We are rolling out a new design across the system. This design reduces "dead space" at the top of your screen and includes useful tabs and a cleaner look to help you navigate faster.
Traffic Sheet: Rebuilt with a new UI to match the modern design style of Scheduler.
Sidebar: Rearranged into a more logical order for better flow.
User Settings: Now a standalone page for easier management.
Customer Portal: A brand-new dashboard for the customer-facing portal shows key metrics to portal users.
Scheduler Improvements: Smoother drag-and-drop functionality for vehicles, trailers, and drivers.

Quality of Life Improvements

Enhanced Email Controls: When resending an Invoice, PO, or Quote, you can now choose the recipient and customize the Subject/Message (excluding Quotes). You’ll also see more detailed info when generating an invoice for the first time.
Faults Dashboard (Plus Users): Updated with new data visualizations and graphs. The "Report a Fault" screen now displays all employees to make logging issues easier.
Driver App Usage Report: You can now opt-in to a daily email report showing usage exceptions, such as missing prestarts, mismatched checks, or shifts not ended.

Performance & Bug Fixes

Date Logic: Improved auto-updates for collection and delivery dates to ensure "from/to" ranges remain logical during order entry.
Order Archival: A new archival system for stale orders significantly decreases screen loading times.
Office Staff Profiles: Updated to include training logs and shift patterns.
Shift patterns now display whether they include working bank holidays.
Other Fixes: Resolved issues with Samsara controllers, supplier email bounces, and costings errors when no trailer is present.

As always, if you have any questions about these new features or suggestions for what we should build next, don't hesitate to reach out!
