LTL contract rating - Payment terms, service area, transit times (CR-15206, CR-15109, CR-16375):
To account for unique criteria for ratings that does not currently exist in the Turvo user interface for contracts or the Turvo Data Importer (TDI) Contract file, we are adding payment terms, service areas, and transit times to rating-tariff based LTL contracts.

Currently, the insurance rule to check for cargo and liability insurance amount always checks if the carrier’s insured cargo and liability amount is more than $100,000.

Settlements and Accounting
- Invoice status and revision features for Invoice 2.0 (STL-1655, STL-1668, and STL-1656):
As part of the Invoice 2.0 initiative, we are adding an Invoice status field to customer and carrier invoices that are built using the Invoices section and added to shipments. This field allows you to mark the invoices as Draft, Approved, or Void. Additionally, invoices that have already been submitted to the customer can be updated from the Invoices section without the need to void an existing invoice and resend a new one.
Another aspect of this feature is to add the ability for users to create multiple carrier and customer invoices on a shipment. - Quickbooks Online (QBO) integration compatibility with Invoice 2.0 (STL-500):
As part of the Invoice 2.0 initiative, we are updating Turvo’s QBO integration for compatibility with tenants utilizing the new feature set. This enhancement will allow QBO to receive approved customer and carrier invoice data from tenants utilizing the Invoice 2.0 workflow. - Sync secondary IDs to QBO customer invoices (STL-100):
We are updating Turvo’s QBO integration so that when a customer invoice is approved in Turvo and triggers the creation of a Customer invoice in QBO, the configured Secondary IDs are automatically added to QBO Customer Invoice’s custom fields. This provides better visibility of Turvo shipment information in your QBO account.
Data Intelligence
- Rate insider card integration with FreightWaves TRAC for spot rates (DATA-316):
Due to the deprecation of FreightWaves' SONAR platform, we have deprecated Turvo’s integration with SONAR for spot rates on the Rate insider card. Instead, customers utilizing this feature can request for their tenant to transition to Turvo’s integration with the FreightWaves Trusted Rate Assessment Consortium (FW TRAC) to retrieve relevant market data when rating shipments. - New Turvo Reports for location link information and engagement (DATA-301 and DATA-302):
In the 2023-R4 release, we expanded the location link feature to include pickup links alongside the existing delivery link. In this release, we are adding new reports to Turvo Reports for viewing location link recipient contacts by their associated locations and the customer attached to the shipment. Also, the Location link usage report allows you to view the clicks generated by your location links.
