Released
2.3.1 - 03/01/23
Core
Parent Organization Visibility
OmniPoint supports organizational hierarchy for clients that have parent organizations with multiple business units (children). When a 'parent' user has the necessary permissions across a 'child' organization, they can now see, view, and manage that business unit from the "Organizations" page.
Scheduled Dispatch Statuses
As an enhancement to the "Scheduled Dispatch" functionality, the "Delivery Status" now displays as "Scheduled" on various pages to inform users that deliveries are scheduled to be dispatched.
Custom User 'Default' Views
Custom views have been available for a while, however, the ability to set a saved view as the 'default' has been a highly requested feature enhancement. Users can now set a default view that will appear each time a user logs in instead of having to change the view each time.
Each of the following pages can have their own default views set up:
- Dashboard
- Deliveries
- Orders
Location Dock Height Identification
For certain LTL carriers, there is a requirement to identify if the shipper location has the ability to load the shipment via dock height in OmniPoint. Without identifying this attribute, the carrier will not quote a shipment. Pickup locations can now be denoted and identifiable by a toggle if a shipper location has the capability to load a truck using a loading dock. This information is also made available to LP Transform to send this information to the carriers.
Updated Button Text
To keep consistency with the call-to-action buttons when creating, copying, or creating a "Return" delivery, the following buttons were relabeled:
- When in the "Create Delivery" form, the button "Create delivery" has been updated to "Create Delivery".
- When in the "Copy Delivery" form, the button "Copy delivery" has been updated to "Copy Delivery".
- When in the "Create Return" form, the button "Return delivery" has been updated to "Create Return".

Prioritizing Walmart GoLocal and Door Dash LPs
Deliveries dispatched for Client Specific prioritize Walmart GoLocal first THEN Door Dash in LP dispatching.
When a delivery is dispatched to Walmart GoLocal as the prioritized LP, if the LP cancels and cannot fulfill the delivery, upon reassigning, the next prioritized LP should be selected for the delivery, in this case, would be Door Dash.
Mobile
Accessorial Needed
Mobile users will now be able to see any required Accessorial for specific deliveries. If any of the deliveries in a route require a specific accessorial, such as equipment or vehicle type, these will be displayed on the pickup requirements and throughout the route as an early signal and reminder of these special delivery needs.
Capturing Multiple PODs per Delivery
Mobile users will now be able to see any capture multiple Images for Proof of Pickup (POP) and Proof of Delivery (POD) requirements. This is particularly helpful when a specific delivery requires the driver to take a picture of the delivered package and the receipt or any other type of documentation.
Fixes and Improvements
- Apply 'LP Cost' to 'Shipper Cost' for AAP When Courier is GoLocal
- Update 'GetRates' to Display "LP Cost Actual" as "Shipper Cost"
- Dispatch AAP's Deliveries Based on "Shipper Cost" Instead of "LP Cost"
- Customer Locations Are Visible in an Organization's "Locations" List
2.2.3 - 02/09/23
Core
Proof of Pick and Proof of Delivery Enhancements
Proof of Delivery was only previously available when items were delivered at the drop off location. Additionally, there were limitations that only allowed one image to be submitted as proof of delivery and one picture for the signature.
A new section has been added to the “Delivery Details” called “Proof of Pickup”. Users will see this section when a signature, picture, or note has been provided for the pickup. Thumbnail images will also be available (if eligible) to preview the image. Drivers can now submit multiple images for proof of pickup. A maximum of three images will be shown as thumbnail images but a maximum of 25 images can be submitted for proof of pickup.
The “Proof of Delivery” section has also been updated to mirror the “Proof of Pickup” section. This section will only pertain to signatures, pictures, or notes provided for the delivery. Thumbnail images will also be available (if eligible) to preview the image. Drivers can now submit multiple images for proof of delivery. A maximum of three images will be shown as thumbnail images but a maximum of 25 images can be submitted for proof of delivery.
The proof of pickup and delivery images can now be downloaded by clicking the “Download” link. When clicked, a modal will appear that gives users the ability to select single or multiple images to download. When multiple images are selected for download, the images will be downloaded into a zip file.
Products CSV Upload
Today, when uploading a CSV file of "Products", any preexisting products within an organization will be overwritten with the new CSV file. In the event a CSV is uploaded with the expectation of only adding new product(s), all of the existing product information is deleted and replaced with the newly uploaded product(s). The "Item Identifier" assigned to a product is now recognized as a unique identifier for that specific product. When files are uploaded, the "Item Identifier" will be checked to support only adding new products that are not currently on the list.
Create Orders with Accessorial
When creating an order through the "Add Order" form, accessorial can now be added to orders providing better insight into what is required to complete this delivery.
Fixes and Improvements
- Update Delivery Timeline to Only Show "In Progress" Once
- Delivery Date Not Populating Correctly Under "ETA" Column
- "Carrier" Column in Tables Displaying Different Statuses
2.2.2 - 02/07/23
Core
Display DoorDash and GoLocal in Delivery Timeline
When a delivery is assigned to a carrier that is part of OneRail's network of couriers, the carrier is never displayed to customers. There are exceptions to this, however, for some customers. For specific customers, when the delivery is assigned to one of OneRail's couriers, if the courier is either DoorDash or GoLocal, the delivery timeline will display the courier name instead of "OneRail".
Date Filter Enhancements
The date filter currently only filters based on the "Order Date". There are other fields within the tables on the "Dashboard", "Deliveries", and "Orders" pages that users can now be used by selecting which date field to filter the data.
Fixes and Improvements
- New Field Added to LP Transform
- Card Containers Added to "Delivery Items", "Delivery Items Total", and "Delivery Exceptions"

2.1.6 - 1/27/23
Core
LP Ranking Enhancements
OneRail's algorithm to calculate the best Logistic Provider (LP) for delivery selection has several enhancements coming up:
- The current implementation of how data is fetched for LP ranking is calculating deliveries that are in terminal states as 'in flight'. Deliveries in these states are now excluded from the calculation. Additionally, the calculation used for SLA Met was updated to only look at completed deliveries in SLA time.
- The calculation is being updated to only reference 'Final Mile' delivery modes when weighing and selecting an LP.
Contact Email Address to Locations Information
Contact email addresses can now be added to individual locations.
Email Notification When "Long Wait At Pickup" Exception is Triggered
When the exception "Long Wait at Pickup" is logged at a location, a notification will be sent to the contact email address (if there is one) for that location to inform. This was requested by a specific client to be alerted of what order and the item(s) are impacted so that they can remedy these issues internally.
Create Return from "Order Details"
A return delivery can be created from the "Order Details" page from the individual shipment/delivery. When a return is initiated from here, all the original information from the delivery is copied into the "Return" form. The original drop off location becomes the "Pickup Location" and the original pickup location is now the "Dropoff Location". Additionally, users can select which item(s) and quantities they are needing to return. Return deliveries will show "Return" on the delivery to indicate it's a return delivery.
Schedule Dispatch
Deliveries can be scheduled for dispatch at a future date and time. There is a minimum threshold of 5 minutes that a delivery cannot be scheduled for dispatch. For example, it is 11:56 AM and you want to schedule a dispatch to go out at 12:00 PM. The earliest time a dispatch can be scheduled is 12:01 PM. Dispatches that are scheduled can be canceled at any time as long as the date and time entered have not occurred.
Note: If a delivery has an SLA with "Delivery Windows", the "Schedule Dispatch" button is disabled.

Core
LP Control Tower - Delivery Coverage Tool
OneRail users will now be able to quickly find LP coverage for a delivery that falls into the OneRail Processing status. There will be an option on any OneRail Processing delivery called "Open in LP Control Tower", redirecting the user to the LP Control Tower Map displaying all available options for coverage across all LPs.
This new functionality will be accessible through any list quick menu or in the delivery details page (see the two images above for reference).
Integrations
UPS Label Rotation
UPS does not provide an option to rotate labels in their API. This fix provides a rotated label for Client Specific to allow labels to be accepted in their downstream system without intervention from the Pepsi team.
2.1.4 - 01/17/23
Core
LP Control Tower - Stop Status
Enhanced Route visibility through colored-coded "Stop Statuses". The statuses will allow an LP Delivery Manager to quickly understand the progress of a route and any issues that may arise at the individual stops. The different Status possibilities are:
- En Route
- Arrived
- Completed
- Incomplete
- Partial
LP Control Tower - Revoke Timer
Fixed issue where the revoke timer for some deliveries will show as 0 min, even though the delivery had been recently assigned. This issue was only affecting the visibility of an accurate revoke timer and was not affecting the actual time that LPs have to assign a driver.
Fixes and Improvements
- Updated the MDP Bot to Include the following Delivery States:
- Arrived for Pickup
- Arrived for Delivery
- Labels Updated to Display Individual Container Weight
2.1.3 - 01/12/23

2.1.2 01/10/23
Core
Map New Role to 'Driver' Role
Specific Client has new contract drivers that will be using OneRail. The contract drivers have their own mapping that needed to be mapped to the existing "Driver" role in OneRail's staging and UAT environments so testing could be done before enabling these drivers in OneRail's production environment.
Risk Calculation Enhancement
Enables users to receive a more frequently calculated Risk factor in the different stages of the delivery process. The Risk formula has been strengthened to support multiple calculations depending on the status of the delivery, while continuously accounting for the time consumed by that specific SLA.
Consolidated Pickups in Routes
Users will now have better visualization of routes in the Control Tower. They will be able to see the IDs for all the orders being picked at the same location or at the same geographical stop. This will enhance tracking and overall visibility for users that utilize the Routing feature.
Multiple Deliveries
Orders can have multiple deliveries created and associated with an existing order. Previously, there was the concept of ‘one order to one delivery.’ However, as we have identified with onboarding new clients, this concept does not satisfy every customer’s business needs. As an enhancement to the “Order Details” page, we have introduced new functionality that enables customers to create a new delivery and/or copy a delivery within an order.
Create New Delivery
From the “Order Details” page in Omnipoint (core), users can now add a new delivery to an existing order. A new button has been added called “Create Delivery.” When this button is clicked, the user is brought to the “Create Delivery” form to fill out the necessary information for this delivery.
The following information is not editable when creating a delivery:
- Organization
- Order ID
As part of the enhancements made to enable this functionality, there are a few things to note:
- The “Dispatch Delivery Immediately” button has been relabeled as “Dispatch Immediately.”
- The button placement has been moved and will now appear on each individual delivery an order may have for the following buttons:
- Dispatch Immediately
- View Shipping Label
- View Delivery
Copy Delivery
From the “Order Details” page in OmniPoint (CORE), users can now create a copy of an existing delivery. A new button has been added to each delivery called “Copy Delivery”. When this button is clicked, the user is brought to the “Create Delivery” form and all the details of the original delivery are copied into the form with most information being editable.
The following information is not editable when copying a delivery:
- Organization
- Order ID
- Order Items
- Price
- Length
- Width
- Height
- Weight
- Description
Note: Only new order items can be added to a delivery when copied. Existing order items are not able to be removed from a delivery.
Manual Order Advancement
As part of the body of work to allow users to create a new delivery or copy delivery for an existing order, we've enabled the ability for users to manually dispatch these deliveries. Now that the “Dispatch Immediately” button has been moved to each individual delivery, whenever a user clicks this button, they will see a modal appear to confirm the action of dispatching the delivery or to cancel. Additionally, organizations that use this functionality, have the ability to select rates based on the available LPs.
Reporting
Enhancements
General stability and performance enhancements related to loading times in CORE's Reporting tab. Unused reports were archived to improve capacity consumption as part of a Data-Cleanup initiative.
Cost Per Stop Routes Report
Specific Client needed their reporting updated to calculate the route cost per each unique delivery location instead of the cost per each unique delivery. The report now calculates and outputs the cost of the route based on the individual delivery location regardless of how many deliveries are being fulfilled to that location.
Integrations
Pickup and Dropoff Accessorial Now Available for LPs
Pickup and Dropoff Accessorial have now been mapped in LP transform and can be passed to LPs after configuration with each LP integration. The flag is currently off in Production.

⏱️Coming Soon
Core
GeoFencing for Locations
Locations now have a 0.25-mile geofence to better track when a Driver arrives at a location, how long the driver is at the pickup location and the delivery location and determine if a driver is in a Market. This includes the following "Location" types:
- When a driver's geolocation is within 0.25 miles of the geofence of the pickup location, the order's status will be changed from 'En Route to Pickup' to 'Arrived for Pickup'.
- When a driver is in the 'Arrived for Pickup' status and their geolocation moves outside of 0.25 miles from the pickup location, the order's status is changed to 'En route to delivery'.
- When a driver's geolocation is within 0.25 miles of the geofence of the dropoff location, the order's status will be changed from 'En Route to Delivery' to 'Arrived for Delivery'.
- When a driver is in the 'Arrived for Delivery' status and their geolocation moves outside of 0.25 miles from the dropoff location, the order's status is changed to 'Delivered'.
"Carrier" Filter Added to Tables
Users can now filter by "Carrier" from the table views on the "Dashboard", "Deliveries", and the "Orders" pages.
