Version 2.1.0 continues the expansion of Allotrac.io as a connected transport operations platform.
Key outcomes include:
Availability of some features depends on site configuration, subscription tier, user permissions and connected integrations.
Courier Mode introduces a high-volume pickup and delivery workflow for vehicles operating with multiple jobs simultaneously.
When Courier Mode is enabled:
Courier Mode can be enabled independently for each vehicle.
Drivers receive an enhanced roadmap experience that separates pickups and deliveries while preserving the existing Allotrac.io grouped-job workflow.
Courier deliveries are progressively unlocked as their associated pickups are completed.
This ensures drivers can clearly distinguish:
Drivers can select completed pickups and use the new Deliver to Depot workflow.
The driver can choose an applicable contact and depot address before creating the depot delivery movement.
Courier workflows also support shared vehicles and connected Allotrac.io sites.
This enables carrier partners to participate in courier-style operations while preserving connected-site permissions and operational separation.
Reduced Manual Grouping - Allocators no longer need to manually group every job assigned to a courier vehicle.
Improved Driver Visibility - Drivers can quickly understand which pickups remain outstanding and which deliveries are ready to complete.
High-Volume Operational Support - Courier Mode provides a scalable workflow for vehicles carrying many consignments across multiple pickup and delivery locations.
Consistent Allocation Integration - Courier work remains visible and manageable through the standard Allotrac.io Allocation screen.
A new Zone Management screen is available under Configure in Allotrac.io.
Users can:
Administrators can create Zone Types to classify geographical areas according to their operational purpose.
Example zone types may include:
The zone model supports:
When one zone is created completely inside another zone, Allotrac.io can recognise the geographical hierarchy.
When a contact address is created or updated, Allotrac.io can determine which configured zones contain that address.
If the address matches multiple overlapping zones, the user can select the most applicable zone.
Geofence management and driver-location behaviour have also been improved.
This includes:
The Driver App now uses the inner Location Geofence to determine arrival.
Crossing the wider Notification Geofence can still trigger approach notifications, but it no longer advances the driver to the Arrived At stage prematurely.
Better Territory Management - Businesses can visually define and manage operational service areas.
Improved Dispatch Decisions - Allocators can understand which operational zone applies to each contact address.
Support for Future Pricing and Automation - Zones establish the foundation for regional pricing, automatic assignment and location-based operational rules.
More Accurate Driver Workflows - Drivers are no longer marked as arrived while they are still outside the actual location boundary.
Projects can now be shared with connected Allotrac.io tenants.
The receiving site can:
Jobs released by the receiving site remain associated with the originating Project. This provides both parties with visibility of the operational work generated from the shared Project.
Project collaboration respects the permissions configured between connected sites.
These permissions control:
Project sharing now includes improved handling of:
A broad range of shared-job behaviours has been improved, including:
Carrier sites can access applicable job-listing functionality for work received through connected-site relationships. Receiving sites can also use supported pre-load workflows for shared work.
Reduced Duplicate Data Entry - Connected companies can release work from the same shared Project without manually recreating Project information.
Better Long-Term Collaboration - Projects provide a scalable structure for recurring work between shippers, transport companies and carrier partners.
Improved Billing Consistency - Mapped contacts, payment types and Project billing information are handled more consistently across connected sites.
Stronger Operational Visibility - Both businesses retain visibility of shared work while continuing to operate within their own tenant environments.
The Allocation screen is now responsive and operational across supported mobile phones and tablets.
Users can perform core allocation activities including:
Selection and multi-selection behaviour has been standardised across desktop and touch devices.
This includes:
Jobs can now be allocated to vehicles directly from the Planning screen.
Planning also includes improved support for:When releasing work from a Project, users can select multiple vehicles where applicable. This reduces the number of repeated actions required when releasing and allocating larger Project workloads.
Driver assignment now supports:
Grouped jobs now provide clearer visual identifiers for different job types.
Supported identifiers include:
Grouped jobs can also be collapsed to reduce visual clutter on the Allocation screen.
Allocation job information now includes the human-readable Job Serial.
Multi-leg and subcontractor indicators have also been repositioned so that both remain visible when present on the same job tile.
Administrators can configure whether Rollover should be enabled or disabled by default when creating new Jobs and Projects.
Users can still override this value for individual records.
Allocation Anywhere - Dispatchers can manage operational work from tablets and smaller devices without losing core Allocation functionality.
Faster Bulk Operations - Improved selection, grouping and multi-vehicle release reduce repetitive allocation work.
Better Driver Matching - New filters make it easier to find drivers who meet the required shift, date and licence criteria.
Clearer Operational Information - Improved job identifiers and grouped-job labels help allocators understand work at a glance.
The Driver App Job Information screen can now display additional operational information, including:
Forms can now be associated with contacts and presented automatically during a job workflow.
This allows different forms to be displayed according to the pickup or delivery contact involved in the job.
Multiple forms can be associated with a Job Subtype.
When the workflow reaches the relevant form stage, the Driver App displays the forms configured for that subtype in the appropriate sequence.
Item configuration can now participate in dynamic job workflows.
This provides more flexibility when form requirements depend on the products or items being transported.
Form media fields now support PDF documents in addition to existing media formats.
Drivers with the applicable permission can create additional multi-leg stops from the PWA.
Multi-leg job creation also includes improved depot selection and offline support.
This release resolves several Driver App workflow issues involving:
More Information for Drivers - Drivers can access the operational details they need without contacting the allocation team.
More Flexible Compliance Workflows - Forms can be selected dynamically using the job’s contact, subtype or item configuration.
Improved Mobile Reliability - Navigation, offline behaviour and shift continuation are more dependable during day-to-day operations.
Better Proof-of-Work Handling - Proof-of-pickup and proof-of-delivery documents and signatures are handled more reliably.
Invoice Approval and Job listings now support advanced date filtering.
Available conditions include:
The View Jobs screen now includes:
These fields are also included in supported exports.
Invoice Approval now includes:
Project listings can now display:
These columns can participate in existing grid configuration and filtering behaviour.
Item grids now provide:
Each quantity is displayed independently to provide clearer operational and commercial reporting.
Contact records now support:
ABN values can synchronise from supported Xero and MYOB contact records.
Manually maintained ACN values remain independent from accounting synchronisation.
This release improves:
Invoice consolidation now respects the configured site region and local time.
Duplicated jobs also follow the correct consolidation rules for contacts using ordered invoiceable quantities.
Better Operational Finance Visibility - Dispatch and operations teams can access invoice and pricing information without moving between multiple modules.
Faster Financial Review - Date ranges, client filters and Job Serial searching make it easier to identify the required invoice records.
Improved Data Quality - More reliable accounting synchronisation reduces incomplete items, missing descriptions and incorrect payment states.
Australian Business Information - ABN and ACN fields provide a consistent location for maintaining customer business identifiers.
The Add Item experience now includes a Custom Fields area.
Users can:
Custom-field improvements include:
Custom Field Template entity types are locked after creation. Deleted Custom Field Templates are also removed from applicable attached entities to prevent obsolete fields from remaining in active configuration.
Job templates can now be located using:
Contacts can be associated with applicable Job Templates, allowing users to quickly apply the correct template when creating work for that customer.
Job version history now more accurately records:
Routine Driver App status transitions no longer create unnecessary versions.
Historical job documents are retained as part of version history.
More Flexible Data Capture - Businesses can capture operational information specific to Items, Contacts, Job Subtypes and Jobs.
Faster Job Creation - Billable-contact template filtering makes it easier to locate and apply the correct Job Template.
More Reliable Audit History - Job history now provides a clearer record of meaningful operational and document changes.
Site Settings now includes an Operational Preferences area.
Settings are grouped according to their workflow, including:
This makes operational configuration easier to understand and maintain.
