Give your team a faster way to start every shift. Saved Views lets each dispatcher save their preferred filters, sorting, and column layout on the Drivers List, then return to it with one click.

Dispatchers often rebuild the same filtered view every time they open the Drivers List. Saved Views eliminates that repetition.

What your team can do:

• Save any configuration: Preferred filters, sorting, and column layout all persist in "My View".
• Edit: Adjust your view without having to rebuild from scratch the next day.

"My View" is personal to each user and persists across sessions. No other user can see or modify it.

The Impact: Less time rebuilding filters, more time moving loads. Your team gets a consistent starting point every shift.

Coming soon: Admins will be able to create shared Tenant Views visible to all users on the account, releasing later this week. Saved Views will expand to additional grid pages at the end of April.

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).

Table pages across Alvys are transitioning to share a unified design. Every table will use the same filters, sorting, column layouts, and actions. This reduces the time your team spends re-learning controls as they move between modules.

What's new:

• Consistent grid experience: Trucks, Trailers, Accounting Error Transactions, and E-Checks now use the same grid layout. Your team uses the same filters, sorting, and actions everywhere, so there's less re-learning as they move between modules.
• Faster performance: Rebuilt with modern front-end architecture for faster load times and smoother interactions across every grid.
• Faster onboarding: New hires learn one grid pattern and apply it across the entire system. Experienced users move between modules without adjusting.

Rollout schedule:

Next Steps: No action required. Updates roll out automatically. Your data stays exactly where it is. If your account has early access enabled, check the Trucks and Trailers grids to see the new experience today.

We released a major upgrade to how driver availability works in Dispatch Planner to eliminate manual PTA tracking and give your planning team data they can actually trust.

Driver availability is now calculated automatically using two configurable parameters: Minimum Available Duration and Average Dwell Time. Instead of relying on appointment window end times, availability now factors in realistic turnaround so you're seeing when a driver is actually free, not just when a load delivers.

You'll also notice new columns in the Drivers table:

• Available For — how long the driver is available (e.g., 14h 30m, or ∞ if no next commitment)
• Next Planned At — when their next commitment starts
• Next Planned In — where the next commitment is
• Available In (formerly Final Stop) — where the driver becomes available, synced with the new calculation

Why it matters

This was the #1 gap preventing operations from trusting Planner availability data. Local ops need 1-hour windows, regional needs 12 hours, long-haul needs days — now each operation can define what "available" actually means for them.

How to configure it

Settings are available at three levels: Alvys defaults, tenant-level overrides, and fleet-level overrides. Your admin can adjust Minimum Available Duration and Average Dwell Time under Dispatch Planner Settings. We've set sensible defaults, but you'll get the most value by tuning these to match how your operation actually runs.

Modernize how your tech stack communicates with Alvys. With Webhooks for tender events, Alvys can now push information to your external systems, such as middleware or ERPs, in real-time. This ensures your data stays in sync whenever a tender is modified.

The impact:

• Eliminate the tender sync gap: Your internal dashboards and custom ERPs sync with Alvys in real time, ensuring your team never works with outdated data.
• Act on exceptions fast: Respond to tender status changes or new opportunities when they happen.

Secure your financial data with precision. We have separated the permissions for creating and editing companies into two distinct categories: Customers and Non-Customers.

What’s new:

• Segregated Access: Define exactly who can modify Billable Customer profiles. Prevent unauthorized changes to credit terms, billing addresses, and contacts.
• Operational Flexibility: Give your operations team the freedom to create and edit Shipper/Receiver locations as needed, without exposing your customer database to risk.
• Improved Compliance: Reduce risk and strengthen your security posture by aligning user permissions strictly with job functions.

Why it matters:

Data integrity is critical for scalability. By segregating these permissions, you protect your revenue cycle from accidental errors and unauthorized changes, ensuring that only accounting and sales leadership handle financial data.

Available now in: Settings > User Management > Permissions

Admin access is required to configure permissions.

Custom References now supports unique fields for Drivers, enabling your team to define, manage, and report on the exact operational and compliance data your business requires. Eliminate scattered notes and siloed spreadsheets by centralizing critical details such as driver certification status, equipment maintenance intervals, and HR or ownership codes in one system.

What’s new:

• Track and report on the driver data that matters: Easily create up to 20 custom fields for to track the driver data that it important to your unique business.
• Find driver-specific data fast: Search, filter, and sort by custom references directly on the Driver lists so your team can quickly access information. No more time wasted reconciling multiple data sources.

Use Case Example:

A fleet manager needs to ensure only drivers with up-to-date certifications are assigned to loads requiring specific endorsements. With Custom References, the manager can filter driver records by certification status, quickly verify compliance, and generate reports for audits. This eliminates manual checks and supports compliance readiness at scale.

Available now in:

Driver List and Custom Reports.

Admin access required to create and configure custom references.
