Planner has gotten dramatically better in the last two months. Here's the highlight reel.

Completely Rebuilt Filtering

The old filter bar is gone. Planner now uses modern, inline column filters — the kind of filtering users already know from spreadsheets. It's faster, more intuitive, and consistent across every column type.

• Shareable filter URLs: Bookmark or send a filtered view to a teammate, it loads exactly as you left it.
• Better text search: More flexible operators, smarter matching.
• Works the same everywhere: Text, number, date, and set filters all behave consistently.
• Auto-filtering by driver team: Equipment types in the Trips table now auto-filter when you switch teams.
• Coming soon: Additional filter operators and filters for all remaining columns across the Planner.

Notes — Right Where You Work

Dispatchers can now create, edit, and manage notes directly inside the Planner sidebars — no more leaving the workflow.

• Driver notes: A dedicated Notes tab on the driver sidebar, with a quick-launch icon on every driver row.
• Trip/load notes: Same treatment on the trip sidebar.
• Notes grouped by time period (Today, Yesterday, This Week…), so recent context is always at the top.
• The old popup modal is gone. Everything lives inline now.

Smarter Trip Sidebar

The trip sidebar now surfaces the info dispatchers need most — without digging.

• ETA to Next Stop: Displayed right on the upcoming stop card.
• Last Ping at a glance — clean "12 min ago" format with just the source (Samsara, Driver App, etc.).
• HOS-aware* ETAs under the hood — ETAs now factor in hours-of-service data via Trimble, with smart fallbacks when HOS isn't available. (*Alvys Intelligence feature)

Cleaner Defaults

• Every user now starts with a clean, standardized grid layout.

References Visibility

Both load custom references and trip custom references are now fully visible in the Planner grid. Customers who tag loads or trips with their own reference codes (PO numbers, BOLs, internal IDs, etc.) can see those fields as columns, and filter and sort by them — all without leaving the Planner.

New Columns & Visual Improvements

• Last Ping and Number of Stops columns added.
• Tighter row density — more data on screen with reduced row heights.
• Colors & emojis on custom references — users can visually tag trip and load custom references with colors and emojis for at-a-glance organization.

20+ Bugfixes

Wrong trailers, missing driver messages, broken temperature displays, brokerage trips leaking in, incorrect filter results — all fixed. The Planner is meaningfully more reliable than it was two months ago.

Bottom Line

The Planner is genuinely faster, more reliable, and easier to use day-to-day. The filtering overhaul alone changes how dispatchers interact with the product. And we're just getting started (timeline view, expanded filters for Trips and Drivers tables, and continued saved views enhancements are all in flight).
