2026-5 Update Log
Outlook & Gmail Add-on
Turn order emails into TransMaS actions without leaving your inbox. The new add-on runs inside Outlook and Gmail and lets you, from any open email, attach the message or its attachments to an existing order, queue an AI-parsed new order, create an order manually, or upload a POC/POD.
- Works where you already are - install once in Outlook (desktop and web) or Gmail; the add-on opens in a side panel next to the email.
- Attach to an existing order - search for an order from the panel and attach the email body and/or selected attachments in a couple of clicks.
- Queue an AI-parsed new order - send the email and its attachments to the AI parser; you'll be prompted to pick the customer, then open TransMaS to review the draft once processed.
- Manual create & POC/POD upload - open the standard order creation screen pre-seeded from the email, or upload attachments straight onto a load as proof of collection/delivery.
- Early access - available on request while we tune the parsing prompts and onboarding; get in touch if you'd like to pilot it on your account.
Create Order from Document
This works like a cross between the AI order creation and manual creation. Access it either from the new email add-on or via Create menu > Order from PDF. Upload a customer's booking PDF, spreadsheet or screenshot and then the system reads the document and offers suggestions while you're creating the order.
- Multi-format input - PDFs, Word docs, Excel sheets, CSVs and images all run through the same pipeline (even though the menu option just says PDF); multi-page documents and multi-consignment bookings are supported.
- Local entity matching - extracted addresses, products and contacts are matched against your existing records before a new one is created, keeping data clean.
- Available from the order creation screen - upload a document on the new order screen, or kick it off directly from the Outlook/Gmail add-on.
- Auto-match customer from sender - when a document is launched from an email, the customer dropdown is pre-selected from the sender's email address (matched against your customer aliases) so you can skip straight to reviewing the parse.
SubLoads on Supplier Loads and Inter-account resources
Subcontract loads can now be split into SubLoads so you can capture which of the supplier's vehicles/drivers each line is going on.
- Group lines by resource - on subcontract loads, right click a line and select Set Resource Details to group lines under editable headers showing the supplier's vehicle, driver and/or trailer.
- Right-click move - move a line between SubLoads by right clicking on the load line and selecting Move to Vehicle, or use the "Set resource details" action to fill in the resource fields.
- Bulk delete - remove a SubLoad in one click with the x at the end of the line; its lines will stay within the overall schedule.
- Hidden where it shouldn't show - the SubLoad options don't appear for managed contractors.
- Inter-account automation - When using our inter-account link when an order is planned by your 3rd party, you will now see the registration and driver name in your schedule view
Open Orders Updates
- Compact mode - toggle the open orders screen between comfort and compact layouts; compact collapses each row's content onto a single line and shows vehicle/trailer as inline tags next to the driver.
- Date range - the open orders screen now accepts a date range instead of just a single day. Pick from presets (Today, Tomorrow, Next 7 Days, This Week, etc.) or any custom span, and the C/D Times columns prefix the date so you can tell which day each row belongs to. Live updates respect the selected window.
- Refreshed Schedule Consignment modal - the "Unscheduled" click on Open Orders now opens a cleaner allocation window: segmented Collect/Deliver and date pickers, single-line load rows with driver, vehicle and trailer chips, click anywhere on a row to allocate, and an automatic prompt for subcontract rates when allocating to a supplier load.
- Schedule context menu - you can now right click on the schedule to view the load or make changes directly without having to open it
Minor Changes
- Stores order lists - the per-status count badges have been dropped to keep the header tidy and the page faster to load.
- Overdue ETA highlight - drivers running late are now flagged in red on the live scheduler, with a tooltip showing the missed ETA.
- EasyTrack telematics - added EasyTrack as a supported telematics provider for vehicle tracking.
- Fuel toggle on order confirmation - a new "Fuel: ON/OFF" button on the order confirmation screen toggles whether the fuel surcharge is included in the displayed rate. The choice is remembered between sessions.
- PO reference box - purchase orders now have a "Your Reference" field, shown on the order view and printed on the PDF header so suppliers can quote it back.
- Container code on PO lines - if the originating order has a container number, it now flows through onto the purchase order line automatically.
- Richer invoice export descriptions - exported invoice line descriptions now include the collection and delivery dates alongside the locations, and append the container number when one is set on the order.
- Self-bill credit fix - fixed a bug where crediting a self-bill failed if no consignments were present on the original document.
- Scheduler drag fix - fixed an issue where dragging a load line could drop it onto the load itself instead of the intended target slot.
- Order Documents not split - when an order document or POD is dragged directly to an Order, or uploaded via the new add-on it will no longer be split
- Pending Document display update - the pending document UI had an update, optimised the loading of PDFs, made the modal wider, and added a variable slider for width.
- Optimised live updates - we have reduced the number of updates your browser will receive when orders are updated, which will provide further optimisation on some actions.
- Microsoft SSO - you can now use Microsoft login to authenticate with TransMaS, same email is required on both systems.
- Manual ETAs - set an ETA on any load line by right clicking and setting the ETA, this will be overridden by the driver app system if in use.
- Stores Product filter - Goods In, Goods Out and Repack order lists now have a product filter so you can narrow the list to a single SKU.
