Release Overview Just the Good Stuff


Introducing BrokerPro 5.2

We are excited to announce that we will be releasing BrokerPro 5.2 on Friday, June 13. This release includes severalimprovements that we think you will love. Here are some highlights, and you can find the full release notes here.

Real-Time Data Updates

We have significantly reimagined our record locking mechanism. When multiple users are in the same record, BrokerPro will allow them to both update the record while showing the other user which aspects of the record have been updated in real-time. This capability allows for more efficient data entry for teams while ensuring data integrity is maintained. You can see it in action below.

Epay Manager Integration

We are thrilled to announce that BrokerPro now integrates with Epay Manager – offering our customers more choices for streamlining their back-office accounting operations. Our customers can:

  • Receive bills and send payments to Carriers.
  • Invoice and receive payments from Customers with one click.
  • Automatically submit loads.
  • Automate document collection and categorization.

Provincial Tax Rates

For Canadian customers, Provincial Tax Rates are now ‘locked’ on a Load-by-Load basis when the Load is invoiced. This will allow preserving historical tax rates when a rate is changed.

WebTrack White Labeling

You can now customize the WebTrack Portal with your own branding by uploading your logo, setting theme colors that reflect your corporate identity, by choosing your own unique subdomain! (i.e. yourname.webtrack.app).


What’s Next

Quickbooks Desktop Integration

We have completely rewritten our integration with Quickbooks Desktop to streamline and simplify your accounting work. With this new integration, information from BrokerPro will automatically synchronize with Quickbooks – removing the need to manually synchronize your customer, load, or invoice information. If something goes wrong, our new synchronization dashboard will tell you what happened and what steps need to be taken to resolve the issue – reducing your reliance on our support team to diagnose issues for you.

We are launching with a subset of customers to ensure everything works smoothly, so please let us know if you’d like to see this in action and be one of the first to take advantage of this great new functionality.


In Conclusion

We have been pretty busy this year, and we hope that the updates found in this release improve how you work with BrokerPro. Once this is released, we will quickly pivot to working on key customer requests like RFP tracking, integration improvements (TextLocate + TruckerTools), and many, many more.

Finally, we announced the pending availability of our new suite of software and services, BrokerOS, at TIA Capital Ideas Conference in April. We are putting the final touches on it and with plans to launch the first phase, BrokerOS Web, in the next couple of weeks. I will update everyone when it’s available, but for now, please take a moment to watch the announcement made at TIA Media Day.
