# Release notes - 26 July 2026 Version 1.30.0, released 2026-07-26. Source: https://vektortms.com/releases/release-2026-07-26 > This release improves settlements, payout batches and factoring for invoices, and fixes a range of issues across dispatch, billing and dashboard screens. ![Release notes - 26 July 2026](https://storage.googleapis.com/vektor-public-storage/changelog/cover/3f611d2759cf36a3a076fe63.jpg) ## At a glance - Settlements can be sent to a vendor, picked straight from the sending dropdown - Settlements use the truck ownership that applied during the settlement week, not the one set afterwards - A factoring company can be linked to an integration, and the active one is selected automatically when you invoice - Re-assigning a driver who is already booked now warns you about the conflict - Imported payments can be edited after import ## Improvements ### Settlements can now be sent to a vendor, picked straight from the sending dropdown - Why we changed it: The settlement sending dropdown only offered drivers and carriers, so settlements owed to a vendor had to be handled outside the system. - How it helps: Payroll and accounting staff can send a settlement to the right vendor without a workaround. - How to use it: Open a settlement and choose the vendor in the sending dropdown. ### Payout batches can be sorted by any column - Why we changed it: The payout batch list came back in a fixed order, so finding a batch by date or amount meant scanning the whole page. - How it helps: Accounting staff can order payout batches by the field they care about and find the one they need faster. - How to use it: Open the payout batches list and click a column header to sort. ### You can configure how schedules synchronize for your company - Why we changed it: Schedule synchronization behaviour was fixed and could not be adjusted per company. - How it helps: Carriers can set the synchronization options that match how they build schedules instead of working around a default. - How to use it: Open the schedule synchronization configuration in settings and adjust the options. ### Cycle frequency is only required for recurring maintenance categories - Why we changed it: Every maintenance category asked for a cycle frequency, even one-off categories that never repeat, so staff had to enter a meaningless interval to save. - How it helps: One-time maintenance categories can be saved without inventing an interval, and the recurring ones still ask for it. - How to use it: Add or edit a maintenance category; the frequency field now only appears for recurring ones. ### A factoring company can be linked to an integration so invoices flow to the right provider - Why we changed it: Factoring companies were managed separately from integrations, with no way to tie a company to the integration that sends its invoices. - How it helps: Billing staff set the link once on the factoring company and invoices go out through the matching integration. - How to use it: Open a factoring company in billing settings and pick the integration on the edit form. ### Deleted drivers are clearly marked wherever they still appear - Why we changed it: A removed driver looked the same as an active one, so dispatchers could assign or contact someone no longer with the company. - How it helps: It is obvious at a glance which drivers are no longer available, which cuts mistaken assignments. - How to use it: Nothing to switch on. Deleted drivers show their status in driver lists and pickers. ### The active factoring company is selected automatically when you invoice - Why we changed it: Staff had to pick the factoring company by hand every time, even when only one was active. - How it helps: Fewer clicks and fewer invoices sent to the wrong factoring company. - How to use it: Nothing to switch on. The active factoring company appears preselected and can still be changed. ### A carrier phone number entered during tender creation is saved back to the carrier record - Why we changed it: Phone numbers typed while creating a tender were not carried over, so the carrier profile stayed out of date or empty. - How it helps: Contact details stay current without a second trip to the carrier record. - How to use it: Create a tender and enter the carrier phone number; the carrier profile picks it up. ### Each user can set the order of their own page tabs and it is remembered - Why we changed it: Tab order was the same for everyone, so people had to scan past tabs they never use. - How it helps: Everyone keeps the tabs they work in first, without changing anything for colleagues. - How to use it: Drag the tabs on a page into the order you want; the arrangement is saved to your account. ### Documents are easier to find and work with on the broker side - Why we changed it: The broker document screens were awkward to scan and to act on. - How it helps: Brokers spend less time hunting for the right paperwork attached to a load. - How to use it: Open the documents section for a broker. ### The portal your customers log into is easier to navigate and read - Why we changed it: Several portal screens were cramped and inconsistent, which generated questions back to dispatch. - How it helps: Customers find shipment and document information themselves instead of calling in. - How to use it: Nothing to switch on. Log into the portal to see the updated screens. ### Automatic document reading is back in service for uploaded documents - Why we changed it: The document recognition integration had been disconnected, so uploads were not being read automatically. - How it helps: Fields are filled from the uploaded document again instead of being typed in by hand. - How to use it: Upload a document as usual; recognition runs on its own. ### The driver page date filter covers the ranges people actually ask for - Why we changed it: The existing date filter was too coarse to answer questions about a driver's activity in a given period. - How it helps: Reviewing a driver's history over a specific stretch of time takes one filter instead of manual counting. - How to use it: Open a driver and set the date range on the page filter. ### The locations page has a search box - Why we changed it: Locations could only be found by scrolling the list, which is slow once a carrier has hundreds of them. - How it helps: You type part of a name or address and get straight to the location. - How to use it: Open the locations page and use the search field at the top. ## Fixes ### The state selector in the Road Use Report download works again - Why we changed it: When downloading the IFTA road use report, the state could not be selected, so the report could not be pulled for a given state. - How it helps: IFTA filings can be prepared for each state without leaving the report screen. - How to use it: Go to IFTA, choose Download Road Use Report and pick the state. ### The invite button in settings behaves correctly, with the right cursor and states - Why we changed it: The invite button in settings had UI issues: its state and cursor did not match whether it could be clicked. - How it helps: Admins inviting teammates can tell at a glance whether the button is active and avoid duplicate or dead clicks. - How to use it: Open Settings and invite a user; nothing to switch on. ### Imported payments can be edited after import - Why we changed it: Payments brought in through import were locked read-only, so a wrong amount or reference could not be corrected without redoing the import. - How it helps: Billing staff can correct imported payment records in place. - How to use it: Open an imported payment and edit it as usual. ### Adding columns to the order report works again - Why we changed it: The add-columns control on the order report failed, leaving the report stuck with its default columns. - How it helps: Reports can be built with the exact columns needed again. - How to use it: Open the order report and use add columns. ### Several dashboard screens no longer throw errors during normal use - Why we changed it: A group of errors were surfacing across dashboard screens and interrupting work. - How it helps: The affected screens load and save without breaking off mid-task. - How to use it: Nothing to switch on. ### Carrier contact phone numbers display correctly on order details - Why we changed it: The phone number in the carrier contacts block on order details was rendered wrong, so dispatchers could not read or use it. - How it helps: Dispatchers can see and dial the carrier contact straight from the order. - How to use it: Open an order and look at carrier contacts. ### Edits to customers and brokers save correctly - Why we changed it: Partial updates to customer and broker records were not applied as sent, so some changed fields were dropped or overwritten. - How it helps: Changes to a customer or broker record stick the way they were entered. - How to use it: Edit a customer or broker and save. ### The permission for editing load distance now grants the right it names instead of failing silently - Why we changed it: The edit-load-distance permission pointed at a key that did not exist, so users granted it still could not edit distance on an order. - How it helps: Roles with that permission behave as configured, and dispatchers who are supposed to correct distances can do so. - How to use it: Nothing to switch on. Check the role in settings if distance editing was previously blocked. ### Connecting accounting software no longer fails with an unclear error when the account is already linked - Why we changed it: Trying to connect an account that was already connected returned a connection error with no explanation. - How it helps: The attempt is handled cleanly and the existing link stays intact instead of leaving staff guessing. - How to use it: Nothing to switch on. Retry the accounting connection from settings if it failed before. ### Re-assigning a driver who is already booked now warns you about the conflict - Why we changed it: A driver could be put on two overlapping assignments with nothing on screen to flag it. - How it helps: Dispatchers see the clash before they confirm, instead of sorting out a double-booked driver later. - How to use it: Re-assign a driver on an order; the conflict is shown before you save. ### Settlements use the truck ownership that applied during the settlement week, not the one set afterwards - Why we changed it: Changing a truck's ownership type recalculated past settlements, so a week already worked could pay out on the wrong terms. - How it helps: Settlement weeks stay correct after a truck changes hands, and drivers and owner-operators are paid on the terms in force at the time. - How to use it: Nothing to switch on. New settlements record the ownership type of the week they cover. ### Dialogs no longer jump the cursor into the first field when they open - Why we changed it: Every dialog grabbed focus for its first input, which moved the cursor and interfered with keyboard use and scrolling. - How it helps: You decide where to start typing, and dialogs stop hijacking the keyboard. - How to use it: Nothing to switch on. Open any dialog.
