Dispatch Planner V2 — 82+ improvements shipped so far in 2026
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).

Redesigned Table Pages: Trucks, Trailers, Accounting Error Transactions, E-Checks (and more coming)
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:
Date | Pages | Status |
March 30 | Trucks, Trailers, Accounting Error Transactions, E-Checks | Live |
Coming in April | Safety Accidents, Safety Claims, Safety Roadside Inspections, Maintenance Records, Carriers, Companies | In development |
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.

Smarter Driver Availability in Dispatch Planner
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.

Webhooks for Tender Events
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.
Next Steps: Provide your IT or Development team with the Setup Guide to activate real-time tender updates for your systems via Webhooks.
