Xception is a new and innovative way of dealing with actual (or potential) exceptions in your supply chain. It will automatically identify exceptions in the same second as they occur and you are able to take action and communicate to ensure that all parties are up-to-date.
You are now able to automate the distribution of tracking links to your customers. As soon as something is booked, we send them an e-mail, branded according to your accounts branding and you are able to set your custom email subject, title and body text.
We have developed a totally new and innovative way of controlling carrier invoices. This will generate an even better and more transparent control of invoices for our customers and we will also in the near future enable customers to do the controlling part on their own. If they like.
Are you also lost in the invoice jungle? Grab one of us, and we can help you set this up asap!
We've released a brand new application for measuring your green house gas emissions for every single consignment. The engine is provided by one of our partners - Proxio - and gives you full support for all transport modes and fuel types and we have developed reports fully compliant with GRI 305.
Make an impact for real, and start measuring your green house gas emissions today, so that you can influence them tomorrow! Get in contact with us straight away to learn more.
If the application is enabled, customers can now share an official tracking page for their consignments. The sharing is made using the share button within the consignment and will generate an e-mail being sent with a tracking link
Applications The applications section now got a fresh new look since some new functionality was required when more applications entered the stage.
Delete package templates Added functionality for deleting package templates in the Price & Leadtime calculator which was missing previously.
User settings page Added a User settings page for users to make basic changes to their profile.
Export exceeding 500 rows Fixed a bug generating issues exporting spreadsheets exceeding 500 rows from the Shipments application.
Our overall ambition is to give you control and visibility of your supply chain and what would then be better than to, as a first page, just show you your supply chain at a glance? Here you can see your internal sites, your suppliers, clients and also other points of interest (maybe an important sub-supplier?). We will put more love into this going forward by adding your current shipments in transit, among other things.
We have enabled a chat function in the platform where you can ask questions right to our world class customer service department. The chat will be available 08:00 - 17:00 CET. If successful, we will extend this time frame later on.
Organizations will now have the possibility to brand the platform with logotype and color.
The free text search in Shipments now cover more columns. See a detailed list here below:
Price for the shipment is now available in the Shipments table. Please note however, that all shipments might not get a price right away. Different circumstances might lead to the shipment being priced later on, especially now in these strange times.
The Shipments table is now possible to configure with the information you want to see. This is automatically saved on your user. This goes for all tables in globl which contain a lot of information. Just press the cogwheel in the top right corner of the table and configure away!
Purchase is a brand new feature in globl! For some of you the term is still familiar but the product has lived its own life for a while, but now we incorporate it into globl. Purchase helps you distribute and monitor your purchase orders and identify exceptions for you to act upon.
Orders List of orders including order data and status.
Items List of items of an order including item data and status for the particular item.
Multiple Orders View where you can see multiple orders and their lines in one view. Good if you want to connect order lines from different orders to one shipment.
Suppliers See and modify your service level agreements with your suppliers.
General update of look and feel We have made a general update to the look and feel of globl into being more "light" and easy on the eye. This serves the purpose of making things easier to understand and hopefully you will like it!
You will recognize pretty much everything in the menu, so from a functional perspective the changes are few.
Infrastructure We have moved all our servers to climate friendly facilities in Sweden, constantly backed up to other locations in Sweden but also Germany. The facilities are equipped with top of the line solutions for security, climate control and fire detection.
Database We have made several improvements to the database, mostly optimizing its performance in terms of quickness.
Direct tracking from Schenker & DHL We have added DB Schenker and DHL Freight to the list of carriers where we collect additional data straight from the source in contrast to getting the data from the TMS och TA system. This is mostly used to enrich shipments with more data, but can also be used for capturing and monitoring shipments that are booked out of our control.
Reports All reports are updated and we have changed the underlying engine for business intelligence to a faster and more reliable source. Many of the graphs and numbers speaks for themselves, but if you need assistance into your particular figures, please let us know and we will happily explain this further. We also plan to implement help text to each number/kpi to make it faster to get.
