Building on the Distance & Drive Time feature introduced in 26.03, this 26.04 release delivers the next phase: automatic planning window calculation based on travel time between stops. This was previewed in the 26.03 notes as a future capability.
Planning Window Cascade
When creating or editing a shipment, planning windows for subsequent stops are now automatically calculated based on:
Travel time between stops — uses the distance/drive time data from the configured distance provider to determine the earliest feasible arrival at the next stop.
Address book operating hours — if a stop’s address book entry has operating hours defined, the planning window automatically snaps to the next open day and time window for that location.
Hours of Service (HOS) rules — the cascade engine accounts for driver HOS limits, inserting required rest breaks and advancing the planning window accordingly.
As users add or reorder stops, planning windows cascade forward automatically. Manually-scheduled stops are respected as fixed anchors, and downstream stops recalculate from there.
Additional Stop & Scheduling Improvements
Improved distance/drive time tooltip details between stops.
Planning window time now correctly populates minutes from address book entries (previously only hours were parsed).
Planning window timezone is now set per-stop rather than globally.
Dock scheduling Gantt calendar now correctly renders overlapping appointments on the correct dock.
Calendar time zone handling corrected so appointments display in the expected time zone.
