February 2026 brought structured Custom References for trucks and trailers plus automatic retry handling for outbound EDI delivery, so your fleet data stays organized and critical EDI documents reach customers reliably.
Overview
This release recaps the two February 2026 features: Custom References for trucks and trailers, and Outbound EDI Delivery Resilience.
What shipped in February 2026
Custom References for trucks and trailers
You can now create up to 20 custom fields for each truck and trailer, letting you capture asset-specific details such as inspection reminders, maintenance intervals, ownership information, lease terms, or utilization status. Centralizing this data keeps your fleet information in one place, minimizes errors, strengthens audit readiness, and reduces manual workload across your operation.
Custom References give you several capabilities. You can track and report on the operational data that matters by creating up to 20 custom fields per truck and trailer. You can find asset-specific data fast by searching, filtering, and sorting truck and trailer lists using custom references, giving your team instant access to the operational and compliance information needed for proactive oversight and reliable audits. You also get cleaner operations and stronger reporting, because Custom References unify fleet data into a single source of truth that eliminates data silos and manual workarounds, and you can pull custom fields into Custom Reports for real-time, fleet-wide visibility on maintenance, compliance, and asset lifecycle status.
This affects Admins, who can create and edit Custom References. Find this feature in Settings, then Custom References. To set it up, go to Settings, then Custom References, and create or edit your fields there.
For more detail, see the help article on setting up custom references.
Automatic retry for outbound EDI delivery
Outbound EDI Delivery Resilience keeps your operations moving even when customer EDI endpoints face temporary outages. It ensures critical documents, including 990s (Tender Response), 214s (Status Update), and 210s (Invoice), are delivered reliably without increasing manual workload for your team.
This feature applies automatic retry logic to outbound EDI messages (990, 214, 210) that encounter temporary customer-side delivery failures. No manual intervention is required, because Alvys handles delivery seamlessly in the background on your behalf. All failed delivery attempts are automatically recorded for support visibility and follow-up.
The benefits are concrete. It minimizes the risk of missed tenders, delayed invoices, or incomplete tracking caused by temporary endpoint outages. It also decreases operational risk and customer friction with a hands-off, resilient approach to EDI communications.
This enhancement is now live and operates automatically for all outbound 990, 214, and 210 EDI transactions sent from Alvys, with no configuration needed by your team.
