New Features Coming


Hi Everyone,

We have had a very busy summer, and there are lots of updates coming soon, as well as a whole host of new integrations. Just thought I’d give you an advanced peek and alert.

The first major change is a completely redesigned Vision ‘menu page’ that handles order entry, dispatch and covering the load.   Currently, you enter the order on the details page, and cover on the cover page. See the attached Screen shots
 
Lots of new changes, we haven't taken anything away, just re-organized and added new options


When the Details Option is Clicked, the page instantly expands.
The new concept is its one page, and you can click on ‘details’ to expand the page for the details. It’s much faster than switching to another page. When you are entering an order, it will be in the expanded view.  When  you go to cover a load,  instead of clicking cover, you will just start typing in the carrier name (or MC#, DOT#, or SCAC code).   All faster with less page drawing and clicks required.

There are also another dozen or so other new Vision features.  They are highlighted on the page.

The next big change is to the rate confirmation, primarily to improve the layout for multi-pick or multi-stop loads.  See attached for the changes. 

Lots of other changes and additions in the wings,  popular new options that are out or will soon be out are:
