The Origin March 2026 update introduces advanced operational intelligence to the transport and logistics sector. This release focuses on four critical pillars: GPS fleet tracking, Automatic route optimisation, automated CFS storage billing, and specialised sideloader workflows.
These updates are designed to transform raw logistics data into a measurable competitive advantage by reducing manual entry and preventing revenue leakage.
Here is a look at the four major pillars of this release:
Stop guessing asset locations. Origin TMS’s new tracking engine integrates with live GPS data from the Transport Mobile App to provide total transparency in an interactive map view.
Contextual Tracking: View real-time vehicle locations mapped against specific job IDs, route progress, and dynamic ETAs.
Automated Geofencing: Reduce driver distractions with automatic status triggers (Arrived/Departed) based on GPS coordinates.
Exception Management: Status-based colour coding highlights delays instantly, allowing dispatchers to solve problems before they escalate.
Planning complex run sheets just got faster. Origin TMS now automatically generates optimised sequences when jobs are grouped into manifests.
Distance & Fuel Efficiency: Minimise kilometres for lower operational costs.
Time-Sensitive Planning: Real-time, traffic-aware routing to meet tight windows.
Compliance & Cutoffs: Automated prioritisation based on terminal cutoffs and customer requirements.
Dynamic Mid-Day Replanning: Instantly recalculate the most efficient path when "hot jobs" or urgent pickups enter the queue.
Capture every dollar of storage revenue in Origin CFS. This update automates the billing lifecycle for Container Freight Station (CFS) cargo from the moment of de-vanning/unpack.
Release Controls: Prevent unauthorized cargo release if there are outstanding storage charges or financial holds.
Live Dwell-Time Analytics: Access "Days in Yard" data and pending accruals directly within the Cargo Rates Tab.
SLA-Driven Billing: Configure custom storage rules by branch or order type to ensure invoicing always aligns with specific client agreements.
Origin TMS has evolved beyond generic transport logic to support the unique requirements of sideloader operations and container logistics.
Multi-Asset Coordination: Synchronise sideloaders, support vehicles (chasers), and specialised equipment within a single delivery workflow.
Mobile Sync & Digital POD: Push complex manifests directly to the driver’s app for real-time Proof of Delivery (POD) and event timestamps.
Precise Margin Visibility: Automatically apply unique rates based on trailer types (e.g., 20ft vs 40ft sideloaders), ensuring finance teams have 100% costing accuracy.
