🚀 Opendock – March 2026 Release Notes

March was a heavy performance + platform cleanup month, with targeted improvements to search, carrier workflows, and unit-based scheduling. A lot of what shipped improves reliability and scalability behind the scenes — but there are also a few meaningful user-facing upgrades.

✨ Key Product Updates

📦 Unit Limiter V2 Improvements

We continued iterating on Unit Limiter, making it more flexible and reliable for high-volume operations.

• Improved handling of appointment unit allocation
• Better consistency across scheduling scenarios
• Foundation laid for more advanced controls (rescheduling logic, multi-day balancing)

👉 This sets up the groundwork for smarter capacity management — especially for warehouses managing pallet-based limits.

🚛 Carrier Workflow Enhancements

Self Check-Out (Core)

• Initial rollout of carrier self check-out capabilities
• Enables drivers/carriers to complete workflows with less manual intervention

BOL Signing at Check-Out

• Introduced Bill of Lading (BOL) signing during check-out
• Streamlines dock exit process and reduces paperwork gaps

👉 Together, these improvements move Opendock closer to a true end-to-end yard + dock workflow.

🔎 Improved Appointment Search (Elasticsearch)

• Introduced Elasticsearch-powered appointment search
• Faster and more scalable query performance
• Better support for complex filtering and large datasets

👉 This is a big upgrade for ops teams managing high appointment volumes.

⚡ Performance & UX Improvements

Helios Performance Review

• General improvements to speed and responsiveness
• Reduced latency in key workflows

Frontend Component Cleanup

• Standardized custom forms components (Phase 1)
• More consistent UI behavior across features

👉 These changes reduce friction and improve usability across the platform.

🧹 Platform & Reliability Upgrades

A large portion of March was dedicated to technical debt reduction and system stability:

• Major Q1 system cleanup initiative
• Removal of legacy backend tests (Laser)
• Cleanup of frontend bundle dependencies
• Sentry monitoring improvements and noise reduction

👉 Translation: fewer bugs, better observability, and a faster platform.

🐛 Bug Fixes & Stability

• 25+ bugs resolved across scheduling, UI, and workflows
• Improved consistency in appointment handling
• Fixes for edge cases in unit calculations and updates

📊 What This Means

March wasn’t about flashy features — it was about making the product stronger at scale:

• Faster search → better ops efficiency
• Cleaner architecture → faster future development
• Carrier workflow improvements → less manual work at the dock
• Unit Limiter progress → smarter capacity management
