Brokerage Enhancements
EDI Enhancements for Rail Logistics
Coordinate with your EDI VAN to confirm they have implemented the latest version of the Revenova EDI Specification. The VANs must be on the latest version even if not using the Rail functionality.
The Revenova TMS now supports the following EDI transactions to expand support for rail logistics. Create Rail Loads using the Freight Plan Console to create a Freight Plan with one customer Load to multiple Carrier Loads. Typically a Rail Freight Plan consists of one Drayage Carrier Load, one Rail Carrier Load, and one Drayage Carrier Load.
404 (Rail Carrier Shipment Information)
322 (Terminal Operations and Intermodal Ramp Activity)
998 (Set Cancellation)
410 (Rail Carrier Freight Details and Invoice Specifications)
824 (Application Advice)
See the EDI Specification guide for more EDI transaction information.
Rate Entry and Quoting Logs
The API Quote Audit Log component allows for reviewing when and why Carrier quotes are filtered out during the quoting process. This component saves time to more efficiently troubleshoot issues when receiving Carrier quotes from API partners.

Web Service Performance Enhancements
We’ve enhanced our web service for load creation and quoting to deliver better performance, reliability, and faster response times.
For the TMSLoadService.createLoad, we've optimized the Load save logic, resulting in significantly quicker processing.
In the TMSQuoteService, we've streamlined quote retrieval by running each LTL API callout on an individual thread, enabling parallel processing for a notable speed boost. And the best part? If you're satisfied with the current performance, rest assured that these improvements are fully backward compatible!
See the Revenova Web Services Guide for more information.
Market Monitor
The Market Monitor plugs users into key insights on capacity trends from Revenova’s LaneIQ Network database. Gain real, up-to-date market insights from quote data pulled from Revenova customers just like you. Track macro-trends in market prices over long stretches or focus in on recent changes that might impact your business. Plot similar lanes side-by-side to compare trends and target areas of opportunity.
Give your users added perspective for Load quoting. Market Monitor plots important trends in the market for your Loads. Put your Load in perspective with insights into the changing costs for each lane.

Automatic Tracking Updates
The automatic carrier tracking feature is designed to remove manual steps from the track and trace process of moving a Load. By capturing tracking settings like preferred provider, desired start time, and more at the Customer Transportation Profile level, users can set up tracking automation based on each customer’s business. When combined with other TMS automation features, automatic tracking further removes users from operational tasks and allows them to focus on managing exceptions and driving customer satisfaction.
The Automatic Carrier Tracking feature automatically sends the start tracking request via API to the selected tracking provider when the Load status is assigned and the specified start time is reached.
Using our Transportation Profile ‘global cascade,’ users don’t need to set up each customer individually. Instead, set all Transportation Profiles to look at the settings on the global TP with just a few clicks.
The Queued Transaction Job must be running in order for this feature to work. The Queued Transaction sends the start tracking request and must be running.
See the Automatic Load Tracking section on the Carrier Banner for more information.
.png){kind=tracking}
In the Spring ‘25 release, the tracking process is enhanced to record whether Carriers have accepted tracking sessions. In building this feature, we worked directly with our tracking provider partners to understand how they capture this information today. As a result, customers can use tracking acceptance to create reports on Carrier tracking compliance and to drive exception management procedures.
TextLocate Integration
TextLocate provides our customers with additional ability to communicate via text with Drivers directly from Revenova. Drivers can provide text messages, location updates, and images for the Loads to/from Revenova. The features of TextLocate provide the ability to do the following.
No app install required. TextLocate only requires a Driver’s phone number and name.
MacroPoint and Trucker Tools require an app and require sharing your location at all times. Additionally, Drivers have to share their location through the browser on their phone.
The integration allows for completing the following tasks.
Send and receive text messages to and from Drivers.
Schedule text messages or location requests.
Monitor text messages to know if they are received.
Automatically request a POD once a Load is delivered.
Request Driver locations and receive their current location in return with a location request text message that includes a link to share the update.
Receive images and documents from Drivers.
Use the integration with TextLocate as a stand alone tracking provider on a Load or in conjunction with MacroPoint or Trucker Tools. (Use TextLocate to send a text / communicate instead of a check call) on Loads.
Display Load Board to Carriers
A new Load Board in the Carrier Guest LWC provides Carriers the ability to view other available Loads.
Carriers may search for other available Loads based on Pickup and Dropoff locations, Ship and Delivery Dates, Mode, and Weight.
Why it Helps
The Load Board is free and may be used without a license and is automatically populated after accepts your Load tender. Carriers may view and bid on Loads you’ve elected to expose from your org.

Carriers are able to submit quotes for available Loads. The Load Board respects both Accessorial and Carrier Exclusions, as well.

Fleet Enhancements
Catena (formerly Axle) ELD Integration

Send to and receive messages from Drivers in your Fleet.
Messages are are sent from the following locations.
From an individual Load on the Load Detail LWC.
From the Fleet Management Console view by selecting Driver(s).
From the Trip Plan Segment for an individual Trip Plan.
