Release Notes - June 2026

New Features

Expanded Invoice Management & Delivery 

Invoice workflows continue to mature with new capabilities that improve both billing operations and customer communications.

New enhancements include:

• Automatic tracking of invoice send history and sent timestamps
• Finalized invoice dates reflected on invoice documents
• Support for invoice attachments and supporting documentation
• PDF invoice packages that include attachments
• Easier invoice sorting, filtering, and list management
• Ability to resend or void invoices
• Improved outbound email recipient handling for complex billing scenarios

These updates provide finance teams with greater visibility throughout the invoicing lifecycle while reducing manual administrative effort.

Fleet Management Workplace

Fleet Management has evolved beyond fuel management into a broader operational workspace.

New capabilities include:

• Dedicated fleet landing pages and asset summaries
• Improved fleet search and navigation
• Custom inventory filtering
• Faster bulk setup for cleaning rules

These enhancements make it easier to organize, locate, and manage operational assets from a centralized experience.

Richer Voyage Visibility

Voyage views now provide significantly more operational context.

Users can now:

• Switch between voyage assets
• Compare requested versus loaded quantities
• View draft and temperature information
• See vessel locations directly on voyage maps
• Display alternate reference numbers for voyages and signals

These improvements give dispatchers and operators more actionable information without navigating between multiple screens.

Operational Improvements

Smarter Planning and Operational Recommendations

Planning workflows became more intelligent across several areas.

Enhancements include:

• Additional voyage types created directly from signal workflows
• Improved equipment recommendations when cargo changes
• Better handling of boat swaps
• Recommendation logic that excludes assets arriving too late
• Improved ETA calculations that avoid double-counting delays
• More resilient lock queue information
• Better towing rate calculations based on equipment and contract capacity

Together, these improvements provide planners with more accurate recommendations while reducing manual adjustments.

Enhanced ETA & Operational Visibility

Operations teams now have greater insight into voyage timing.

New improvements include:

• ETA explainability showing why predicted arrival times change
• Visibility into both carrier and system ETA updates
• Adjustable ETA alert sensitivity
• Identification of barges waiting too long for pickup
• Better timezone handling throughout voyage workflows

These enhancements improve confidence in arrival planning while making schedule changes easier to understand.

Stronger Deck Log & Event Management

Several improvements make both office and field workflows more reliable.

Updates include:

• Expanded event editing
• Improved fuel reading capture
• Better location suggestions
• Clearer order labels
• More reliable offline synchronization
• Easier editing of optional notes and text fields

Additional improvements ensure voyage status, event sequencing, and signal imports remain synchronized throughout operational workflows.

More Accurate Cost, Fuel & Demurrage Processing

Cost management received another significant round of enhancements.

Updates include:

• Faster demurrage calculations through precomputed processing
• User control over which reported events count toward demurrage
• Demurrage included in voyage cost breakdowns
• Expanded support for special demurrage adjustments
• Better preservation of historical rates and voyage costs
• Improved fuel transfer pricing and historical correction workflows
• More consistent handling of completed voyage costs

These enhancements continue improving financial accuracy across voyage planning, operations, and invoicing.

Bug Fixes & Reliability Upgrades

Email & Data Intake Improvements

Data ingestion became more flexible and resilient throughout the platform.

Updates include:

• General CSV attachments now use a shared processing framework
• Structured spreadsheet imports support more layouts
• Improved HTML email recognition
• Better inbound email reprocessing
• Additional filtering to reduce stale operational records

These improvements reduce manual intervention while expanding the types of operational information BargeOS can automatically process.

Platform Performance & Reliability

Significant work continued behind the scenes to improve overall platform responsiveness.

Highlights include:

• Faster voyage loading through optimized demurrage processing
• Reduced database lookups across frequently used voyage lists
• Faster validation of operational data pipelines
• Improved port data loading
• Better background processing efficiency
• Stronger monitoring, disk safeguards, and alerting
• Security enhancements and tighter reporting database controls

These changes improve performance today while providing a stronger foundation for continued platform growth.
