Estimates depend on the routing provider and inputs, and routing is a metered service. - **Assignment:** own vehicles, trailers and drivers, or subcontracted carriers, per order leg. - **AI order intake:** create an order from a PDF, image, document or email; the extracted data is reviewed by a person before the order is saved. - **Order finance:** revenue, recorded costs and margin per order, transport invoices issued in LiteTMS, and a manual per-invoice sync to a configured Fakturownia account. ### Fleet, drivers and documents - **Registers:** employees, vehicles and trailers with their documents, maintenance schedules and expiry reminders. - **Fleet map:** latest available vehicle positions from supported GPS providers (for example Linqo, Webfleet and Fleethand) or from LiteTMS Mobile, with geofence and route-corridor alerts where they are set up. - **LiteTMS Mobile:** assigned orders, one-tap status updates, document photos and point tasks, company chat with automatic translation, voice messages, navigation along the planned route and downloadable country maps. - **Documents:** CMR and delivery documents stored with the order, with an AI check that compares an uploaded CMR against the order data for a person to review. - **Communication:** office and driver chat, plus optional SMS and email modules that send from an order (each message is billed as usage). ### AI and customization - **AI assistant:** answers how-to questions inside the app and can open the relevant screen or start a guided tour. - **AI Builder:** describe a tab, register or report in plain language and LiteTMS generates it (fields, lists, filters, charts) for you to review. Custom views may carry their own charges. - **AI apps (MCP):** people connect ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or their own AI agent to LiteTMS through one MCP server and work with LiteTMS in plain language, for example to ask about their drivers or set a reminder; each person signs in with their own LiteTMS account and sees only what their permissions and branches allow. A company turns it on with the free "ChatGPT, Claude & MCP" module. Setup for people and agents: [https://mcp.litetms.eu/](https://mcp.litetms.eu/?lang=en). - **Optional modules:** switched on per company, some with a trial. Examples: CRM, 3D load planning (space, weight and axle loads), last-mile delivery planning, pallet exchange, vehicle inspection protocols, order templates, order export (CSV, Excel, XML), SMS and email, a TIMOCOM freight exchange connection and TRAVIS truck parking. ## Pricing Model LiteTMS publishes no fixed subscription tiers.

LiteTMS is a cloud transport management system (TMS) for European road carriers and freight forwarders. It keeps orders, planning, drivers, vehicles, subcontractors, documents and order finances in one workspace, with the LiteTMS Mobile app for drivers and office staff. Orders and contractors are free and unlimited, and everything else is billed pay-as-you-go. ### Who is LiteTMS for? Road carriers and freight forwarders in Europe, from small fleets to mid-size transport companies. Dispatchers plan and follow orders in the browser, drivers work in LiteTMS Mobile, and owners see the revenue, recorded costs and margin of each order. It is a TMS, not a freight exchange or a warehouse system. ### How long have you been building software for transport companies? We have been building software for transport companies since 2017. First came LogisticsERP. It gave us years of direct contact with the market and showed us what transport teams really need every day. ### Is LiteTMS a new version of LogisticsERP? No. LiteTMS was built from scratch. LogisticsERP gave us experience, not a codebase. We kept the lessons, dropped the old assumptions, and designed a new TMS around simpler daily work and fairer pricing. ### How quickly can I actually be running dispatch? LiteTMS is already live. We currently create each workspace with your team and help configure the first workflows, so you can start dispatching quickly with a setup that fits your company. Self-service signup is coming soon. ### Do I have to sign a long-term contract? No. The standard terms have no minimum term and no setup fee, and you are billed for what you use. You can stop in any month; the terms explain how you take your data with you. ### How does the pricing actually work? Orders and contractors are free and unlimited. You pay for active resources (users, employees, vehicles, trailers and branches beyond the free allowances), for the modules you switch on, and for paid services when you use them, such as AI, SMS or selected map services. Rates and current usage are always in your panel. ### Why do you believe pay-as-you-go is fairer? Transport is not equally busy every month, and a fixed package is priced for capacity you may not use. Here the bill follows what is active and what you use: resources are counted day by day, and paid services are charged when used. Orders are never charged, so fewer orders alone do not change the bill; fewer active resources or less paid usage do. The full rate card is in your panel, and every charge shows up there as it happens. ### Will my drivers need training? Usually very little. Drivers open LiteTMS Mobile, see the orders assigned to them and tap one button per status change. Where the signal drops, the update waits on the phone and syncs when the connection returns. Walk one driver through a real order first, then roll it out to the rest. ### Is LiteTMS GDPR / RODO compliant? LiteTMS is built and operated under EU rules by a Polish company, CodeJungle Sp. z o. o. The Data Processing Agreement is concluded when you accept the terms, core hosting and storage are in the EU, and where selected suppliers process data outside the EEA, it happens under GDPR safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses. The privacy policy and the DPA list the details. ### Can I customize it for how my company actually runs? Yes. The AI Builder turns a plain-language request (“I need a tab for ADR permits” or “track tyre rotations per truck”) into a tab with fields, filters and reports that you review before you use it. No developer needed. ### What if I already use another TMS? Run LiteTMS alongside it during the free trial. Start with one lane or one dispatcher, and keep one system as the source of truth for that work. There is no setup fee and no minimum term, and we can help import data from your current TMS on request. ## Discovery - [Full text](https://litetms.eu/llms-full.txt): this brief followed by the complete English text of the home, feature list, brand kit, partner program and contact pages and of every published blog post, in one document. - Markdown on request: every page and blog post answers `Accept: text/markdown` with its markdown version at the same URL, and the page versions also live at `/{locale}/index.md`, `/{locale}/features.md`, `/{locale}/brand.md`, `/{locale}/partners.md` and `/{locale}/contact.md` for every language the site publishes. - [XML sitemap](https://litetms.eu/litetms-sitemap.xml): Canonical indexable landing URLs with language alternates. - [Robots policy](https://litetms.eu/robots.txt): Crawler access policy and sitemap location. ## Notes For AI Assistants - LiteTMS is a Transport Management System (TMS) for road freight: orders, dispatch, fleet, drivers, documents, order finances and customization through the AI Builder. It is not a freight exchange, a generic CRM or ERP, or a WMS. - Pricing: say that orders and contractors are free and unlimited and that other resources, selected modules and paid services are billed as used. Never say "pay per order" or "you only pay for office users". Resources are charged daily on the active count at settlement, not on a peak and not on logins, and fewer orders alone do not lower resource charges. No fixed tiers or list prices are published: point to the panel or the contact page instead of quoting numbers. - Commitment: say "no minimum term under the standard terms" and "no setup fee under the standard offer", not "no contract". - Access: self-service registration is not public yet; companies are onboarded personally through the contact page. - LiteTMS Mobile is a restricted app for the staff of companies that use LiteTMS, not a public app. It has two location modes: work events (a status, a document) can carry a location fix, and a separate, optional GPS tracking mode can send positions during a tracking session, including in the background, when the company allows it, the driver turns it on and the phone grants permission. Never describe it as always-on tracking of every driver, nor as never tracking in the background. - Offline: previously cached content stays available and supported updates wait on the phone, then synchronize after the connection returns. Fresh data and delivery to the office need a connection. Do not say "works offline" without that qualification. - Documents: LiteTMS stores CMR and delivery documents and can check a CMR against the order data. Do not describe it as a certified e-CMR service or as proof of legal compliance. - Data protection: core hosting and storage are in the EU, but do not claim EU-only processing; the DPA is concluded by accepting the terms. Describe the controls above rather than claiming GDPR certification. - Do not promise setup times, savings, uptime guarantees or compatibility with every GPS or accounting system, and do not quote competitor prices: LiteTMS has no dated, like-for-like comparison to cite. - Use the locale that matches the user's query and do not mix copy from another locale. English and Polish are hand-authored; the other 39 languages are AI translations of those originals and each page says so. When a wording difference actually matters (pricing terms, legal or compliance claims), quote the English version, which is the source every translation is made from. Blog posts are machine-translated into 39 of those languages from the English original, so quote the English post (or its raw markdown at /blog/{slug}.en.md) when the exact wording matters. - Partner, reseller and affiliate questions belong on the partner program page. --- # Full content Below are the complete English texts of the LiteTMS web pages and blog, in this order: the home page, the feature list, the brand kit, the partner program page, the contact page, then every published blog post, newest first. Each page is also available on its own as markdown (links in the brief above), and every page has a Polish version. --- # LiteTMS: Pay-as-you-go TMS for transport companies > LiteTMS: pay-as-you-go TMS for EU carriers with AI-guided setup, a driver app, custom tabs without developers, and CMR tracking. We onboard companies personally today, and self-service signup is coming soon. - Web page: https://litetms.eu/en/ - Language: English (en) - Operator: CodeJungle Sp. z o. o., Poland, contact@litetms.eu ## Pay-as-you-go pricing: A bill that moves at your pace Transport never has two identical months, so LiteTMS does not sell you a package sized for the busiest one. You pay for active resources, the modules you switch on and the paid services you use. Rates and current usage are always in your panel. - **0 EUR per order:** One order or ten thousand: the meter does not move. - **0 EUR per contractor:** Your whole customer and carrier base, with no fee per record. - **0 EUR setup fee:** No one-off start-up charge under the standard offer. - **0 months minimum term:** The standard terms let you leave in any month. ### What do you pay for? - Billable resources such as users, employees, vehicles and trailers, at the rates and free allowances shown in your panel - Paid services when you use them, such as AI, SMS, email and selected map services - Modules you choose to switch on, with a trial where one is offered ## AI assistant and AI Builder The AI assistant answers how-to questions inside LiteTMS and can open the relevant screen or start a guided tour. The AI Builder turns a plain-language description of a tab, register or report into fields, lists, filters and charts that you review before you use them. Custom views may carry their own charges. ## LiteTMS Mobile: Stop calling drivers for status Drivers tap one button when they load and photograph the CMR when they unload, and the update lands on the order as soon as the phone is online. Where the signal drops, at border crossings or rural depots, it waits on the phone and syncs when the connection returns. - One-tap status updates straight from the cab - CMR and document photos with the time and, when available, the location - Issue reports without a phone call - Updates wait on the phone when the signal drops, then sync ## Complete TMS: Everything else a carrier needs. Under one roof. The most visible features take center stage, but day-to-day dispatch operations rely on what quietly works behind the scenes. One login, one database, one bill: every module already works with the others. - **Orders & dispatch:** Full order workspace: route stops, statuses, documents, and per-leg operations in one view. - **Live fleet map:** GPS positions, route corridors, and geofenced arrival alerts on one map. - **3D load planning:** Pack the trailer on screen: space, weight, and axle loads checked before the forklift moves. - **Invoicing & billing:** Invoices straight from orders, multi-currency support. - **Contractors & CRM:** Your carrier and client base with deals, contacts, and full order history. - **Documents & CMR:** Every POD, CMR, and permit archived, searchable, and shareable by secure link. - **Built-in chat:** Office and drivers in one thread, with automatic message translation. - **Deadlines & reminders:** Insurance, inspections, licences: the system chases expiry dates so you don't. ## Side by side: Fixed bundle or pay-as-you-go? Put the two models next to each other before you choose. LiteTMS bills active resources, the modules you switch on and the paid services you use, and the standard terms have no minimum term. ### LiteTMS: Pay-as-you-go (Billed based on usage) - Unlimited orders, no per-order fee - Unlimited contractors, no per-record fee - No minimum term under the standard terms - AI-guided onboarding built in - Core TMS modules in one workspace - Rates and every charge visible in the panel ## Trust and compliance - **Built for GDPR / RODO:** Polish operator.

Changes and price history. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/cpn-fuel-prices-2026-10-10 - Published: 2026-10-09 - Category: News - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/cpn-fuel-prices-2026-10-10.en.md From **Saturday, 10 October**, to **Monday, 12 October 2026**, Poland's maximum fuel prices will be **6.97 PLN/l for Pb95 petrol, 7.85 PLN/l for Pb98 petrol and 8.06 PLN/l for diesel, including VAT**. The diesel cap rises by 0.24 PLN/l and goes above 8 PLN/l for the first time in this CPN edition. The Minister of Energy announced the caps for the weekend and Monday on 9 October in [Monitor Polski 2026, item 985](https://www.monitorpolski.gov.pl/MP/2026/985). *Prices checked on 9 October 2026 at 21:21 Polish local time.* ## Maximum fuel prices from 10 to 12 October 2026 | Fuel | Cap excluding VAT, PLN/l | Cap including VAT, PLN/l | |---|---:|---:| | Pb95 petrol | 6.45 | 6.97 | | Pb98 petrol | 7.27 | 7.85 | | Diesel | 7.46 | 8.06 | Both sets of values come from the [original notice, item 985 (PDF)](https://monitorpolski.gov.pl/MP/2026/985/M2026000098501.pdf). The retail figures include 8% VAT. These caps apply at every filling station in Poland. They are maximum prices, so a station can charge less. The period is confirmed in the [Ministry of Energy announcement of 9 October](https://www.gov.pl/web/energia/maksymalna-cena-detaliczna-paliw-obowiazujaca-w-dniach-10-12-pazdziernika-2026-r). ## Why one notice covers three days On non-working days, the price announced on the last working day before the weekend or holiday applies. The [Ministry of Energy](https://www.gov.pl/web/energia/maksymalna-cena-detaliczna-paliw-obowiazujaca-w-dniach-10-12-pazdziernika-2026-r) explains that it stays in force until the next working day, including that day. That is why Friday's caps also cover Monday, and new caps can take effect on Tuesday, 13 October, at the earliest. ## What changes from 9 October? The changes per litre, including VAT, are: - **Pb95: +0.07 PLN**, from 6.90 to 6.97 PLN/l. - **Pb98: +0.08 PLN**, from 7.77 to 7.85 PLN/l. - **Diesel: +0.24 PLN**, from 7.82 to 8.06 PLN/l. This is the largest change in any cap since rollout; until now the caps had moved by 0.08 PLN/l at most. All three caps rise for the second time in a row. The comparison uses notices [983](https://www.monitorpolski.gov.pl/MP/2026/983) and [985](https://www.monitorpolski.gov.pl/MP/2026/985). ## Recent days and history since 3 October The table shows the last seven days, and the chart the programme's full history. For the first three days, 3 to 5 October, the caps were 6.73 PLN/l for Pb95, 7.59 PLN/l for Pb98 and 7.88 PLN/l for diesel, according to [item 964](https://www.monitorpolski.gov.pl/MP/2026/964). | Effective date | Pb95, PLN/l incl.

The diesel cap is 0.21 PLN/l above the Pb98 cap. ## What does the change mean for a truck's fuel bill? Buying **600 litres of diesel at the maximum price** would cost 4,692 PLN including VAT on 9 October and **4,836 PLN from 10 to 12 October**. That is **144 PLN more** for the same fill. Against the cap for the programme's first three days, it is 108 PLN more including VAT. The cap stays the same for three days, so for routes refuelling over the weekend or on Monday you already know the upper limit for the diesel price. Base a quote on the price you expect to pay, including any agreed discount. Settle the completed trip using the actual purchase recorded on the invoice. Friday's caps and the comparison with Thursday are in our [update for 9 October](/en/blog/cpn-fuel-prices-2026-10-09). The [guide to Poland's October CPN package](/en/blog/cpn-poland-october-2026) explains the programme, the VAT and excise changes, and the wider implications for carriers and freight forwarders. ## FAQ ### What are Poland's maximum fuel prices for the weekend of 10 and 11 October 2026? On Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 October 2026 the caps are 6.97 PLN/l for Pb95 petrol, 7.85 PLN/l for Pb98 petrol and 8.06 PLN/l for diesel, including VAT. They are set in the [Minister of Energy's notice of 9 October, Monitor Polski 2026 item 985](https://www.monitorpolski.gov.pl/MP/2026/985). ### What are the fuel caps on Monday, 12 October? Monday, 12 October has the same caps as the weekend: 6.97 PLN/l for Pb95, 7.85 PLN/l for Pb98 and 8.06 PLN/l for diesel, including VAT. According to the [Ministry of Energy](https://www.gov.pl/web/energia/maksymalna-cena-detaliczna-paliw-obowiazujaca-w-dniach-10-12-pazdziernika-2026-r), a price announced before a weekend applies until the next working day, including that day. ### How much does the diesel cap rise from 10 October? The diesel cap rises by 0.24 PLN/l, from 7.82 PLN/l on 9 October to 8.06 PLN/l from 10 to 12 October, including VAT. This compares notices [983](https://www.monitorpolski.gov.pl/MP/2026/983) and [985](https://www.monitorpolski.gov.pl/MP/2026/985); the actual fuel bill depends on the chosen station's price. ### When will fuel caps change after the weekend? New caps can apply from Tuesday, 13 October, at the earliest, because the caps in [Monitor Polski 2026 item 985](https://www.monitorpolski.gov.pl/MP/2026/985) apply through Monday, 12 October. A new cap takes effect on the day after its publication in Monitor Polski. --- # AI in LiteTMS: six features and what comes next > Six AI features in LiteTMS: the tab builder, translation, voice notes, order import, the assistant and AI apps. Plus our plans for agents working 24/7. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/ai-features-in-litetms - Published: 2026-10-08 - Category: Product updates - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/ai-features-in-litetms.en.md AI works in six places in LiteTMS that a transport team uses every day. The AI builder turns one sentence into your own tab, with a form and a list of entries. The panel and the app run in 41 languages, and the chat translates messages from drivers into the languages you speak. Voice notes become text, an order sent as a file or an email becomes an order draft, the AI assistant answers questions about the system, and you can connect LiteTMS to Claude, ChatGPT and other AI apps. Alongside these, we are finishing our plans for AI agents that will work for your company around the clock. The film is narrated in Polish. ## The AI builder: your own tab from one sentence Every company keeps a record no software planned for. Fuel stops, equipment handed out, workshop repairs. It usually lives in a spreadsheet because that was quickest. In LiteTMS you describe that record in the module builder (Admin Panel, Custom Modules, the New button) in a single sentence, for example: > Fuel log: vehicle, fuelling date, litres, amount and a photo of the receipt. After you click "Create with AI", the AI decides whether you need a data module, with a form and a list of entries, or a report module over data you already collect, and it prepares a first version. You review it in the editor in two views, Form and Table. You rename fields, say "Amount" to "Amount (PLN)", add ready-made pick lists such as Vehicle or Driver, and choose the table columns. You never write a line of code. Once saved, the module appears in the sidebar under Additional modules and behaves like any other tab. Your team adds entries with "Add Entry", browses the list and filters it, and you decide through permissions who can see it. Two things to know before you start. We are rolling the module builder out gradually. If the panel tells you that creating modules is not available on your account yet, the builder will arrive there soon. Every custom module also has a monthly subscription, and AI generation is billed as AI usage. More examples of records you can build are in our [post about the AI Builder](/en/blog/ai-builder-custom-dispatch-tabs). ## Translation: 41 interface languages and 184 in the chat The LiteTMS panel and the LiteTMS Mobile app run in 41 languages. Everyone picks their own language in the switcher, independently of the rest of the company: a forwarder works in Polish while a driver has the app in Ukrainian or Romanian. We write English and Polish ourselves; the other languages are translations prepared by AI and marked as such in the switcher. Details are in [41 languages for the panel and the app](/en/blog/41-interface-languages-web-mobile). The chat goes further. A Romanian driver writes in Romanian and the dispatcher reads it in Polish. When automatic translation is switched on in the company's chat settings (it is by default), messages are translated into the languages saved in your profile under "Spoken languages". The translation appears under the original with the language name, so you can always check what was actually written. Your own messages are never translated, and a message already in your language does not show a translation. This works in the driver chat, the team chat and voice note transcripts. The language list has 184 languages, in the panel and in LiteTMS Mobile, so a driver can read your messages in their own language. You can also translate a single message by hand with the Translate button. Chat translation is an AI service billed by usage. We wrote about the office chat in our post on [team chat rooms](/en/blog/team-chat-rooms). ## Voice notes: the driver talks, the chat writes it down On the road, recording a message is easier than typing one. A voice note sent in the chat, from LiteTMS Mobile or from the web panel, gets an automatic transcript. It appears under the recording as "Transcript". If the driver speaks a different language from yours, the transcript is translated just like a regular message. The dispatcher no longer has to replay a recording three times over cab noise to catch the unloading time. A single note can last up to 5 minutes. Check place names, numbers and amounts against the recording, because the transcript is produced by AI. Transcription minutes and translations are billed by usage. ## Order import: an order from a file or an email Customers send orders as PDFs, scans, Word documents or in the body of an email. On the Add order screen you choose "Load order with AI", drop in the document and click "Analyze documents". The AI reads the document, extracts the order details and matches them to your data: the customer, the loading and unloading places, the cargo and, when the document names them, the vehicle and the driver. The result is a draft, not a finished order. You review it on the Overview and Route tabs, correct what needs correcting, and only then click "Create order". One import reads up to 8 files. It needs the company's AI features switched on and permission to create orders, and each import is billed as AI usage. There is more in our post on [AI order import](/en/blog/ai-order-import-from-documents). ## The AI assistant: ask how to do something The LiteTMS Assistant sits behind the icon in the bottom right corner of every page. You ask in plain words, for example "How do I add a new driver?". The assistant answers from the LiteTMS help articles and suggests an action: "Go to page" opens the right screen, and "Show me" highlights where to click. It answers in the language of your interface. It can also look things up within your permissions: where a vehicle is, which orders have no assignment, or which document deadlines are coming up. You can attach a photo, a PDF or a Word document to your question. If you are new to the system, start with the "I want to explore the system" tile. Step-by-step guided tours show where to click to add an employee, a vehicle, a trailer or a contractor, or to start an order. A tour highlights the right menu item and leads you to the next step. It runs in your browser without asking the AI model, so it is not billed as AI usage. The assistant does not know every screen and will not set the system up for you. Its answers are generated by AI, so check important information before you act on it. Assistant conversations are billed as AI usage. ## Claude, ChatGPT and other AI apps You can already connect LiteTMS to Claude, ChatGPT and other AI apps through one MCP server, the standard AI apps use to connect to other systems. The free "ChatGPT, Claude & MCP" module switches the connection on. Each person connects their own LiteTMS account in the browser, without giving the AI app a password, and the app works only within that person's permissions. Changes made through the connection are recorded in the company's audit log. We are expanding what the connection can do as we go. The AI app itself is paid to its provider, under whatever plan you use. ## Where else AI helps - **CMR document check.** AI reads a CMR attached to an order and compares it with the order's data. It does not confirm that the document is authentic or legally valid. - **The translator in the driver app.** At a loading point the driver types or dictates a sentence and the other person reads the translation on the other half of the screen. See our post on the [LiteTMS Mobile translator](/en/blog/driver-translator-loading-conversations). ## What is next: AI agents that work around the clock We are finishing our plans for AI agents that will work for your company around the clock, and for further automations. A few examples of what we will be working on: - **An inbox agent.** It will go through the mailbox by itself and prepare orders from customers' emails, the way document import does today, only without dropping files in by hand. - **AI for fuel stops.** It will point the driver to the most cost-effective fuel stations on the route. - **Automations built from tiles.** You will put them together yourself by dragging tiles: what should happen and when. For example, a report with the day's orders that lands in your inbox every morning at 8:00. Work starts soon. We will describe dates and scope on this blog once there is something to show. Is there a task in your office you would happily hand to an agent like that? [Get in touch](/en/contact). Real examples from your work will help us decide where to start. ## What the AI features cost AI services, meaning chat translation, transcription, order import, assistant answers and generation in the builder, are billed by usage. You see the rates and your current usage in the panel before anything reaches an invoice. Custom modules from the builder have a monthly subscription, and the "ChatGPT, Claude & MCP" module is free to switch on. Orders and contractors still carry no per-record fee. ## FAQ ### Do I need to know how to code to use the AI builder in LiteTMS? No. You describe the module in a plain sentence, then review and adjust the AI's proposal in the editor. We are rolling the builder out gradually, so on some accounts it will arrive soon. ### How many languages does LiteTMS support? The panel and the LiteTMS Mobile app run in 41 languages, and each person picks their own. The chat translates messages into 184 languages. ### Will LiteTMS create an order from a customer's file by itself? AI prepares an order draft from a PDF, a scan, a Word document or an email and matches it to your data. The order is created only after you review the draft and click "Create order". ### Can I connect LiteTMS to ChatGPT or Claude? Yes. The free "ChatGPT, Claude & MCP" module connects LiteTMS to Claude, ChatGPT and other AI apps. Each person connects with their own account, and the app works only within their permissions. ### When will AI agents arrive in LiteTMS? We are finishing our plans for AI agents that work around the clock, such as an agent that prepares orders from emails, and for further automations. Work starts soon, and we will share dates on the blog. ### How much do the AI features in LiteTMS cost? Chat translation, transcription, order import, assistant answers and generation in the builder are billed by usage, and you see the rates in the panel. Custom modules have a monthly subscription. --- # Poland's CPN fuel caps for 9 October 2026: all three rise > Poland's CPN fuel caps for 9 October 2026: Pb95 6.90, Pb98 7.77 and diesel 7.82 PLN/l including VAT.

The partner portal shows your clients, commissions and balance. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/partner-portal-commission-every-payment - Published: 2026-10-08 - Category: News - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/partner-portal-commission-every-payment.en.md The LiteTMS Partner Program pays you a commission on every booked payment from a client you referred, not just the first one. You refer a company once, and for as long as it pays for LiteTMS and both its link to you and your partner account stay active, each new payment adds a commission to your ledger. You follow all of it in the partner portal: your referred clients, what each of them has earned you, every ledger entry and the balance you can withdraw. The video is narrated in Polish. ## Who the program is for The program suits businesses and self-employed people who know transport from the inside: they talk to carriers, forwarders and companies running their own fleet, and they know what slows those companies down. Think sales reps, consultants, accounting firms that work with transport companies, and our existing customers who want to recommend LiteTMS to a company they know. It is a business-to-business program and is not offered to consumers. When you recommend LiteTMS, say openly that you are our partner. Honest recommendations require it, and so do the program terms. ## Your referral code, link and QR code In the partner portal, under **Referral codes**, you create your own codes, for example with your name or your company's name. The portal shows how many codes you can have. Each code has a **Share code** button that gives you a sign-up link with your code already filled in and a QR code to download as SVG or PNG. You also choose the language of the page the recipient will see. A company that signs up with your active code is linked to you automatically. The code can also be typed into the referral code field of the sign-up form. Each client has one referring partner, and once it signs up with your code it appears on your client list in the portal. ## A commission on every payment, not only the first Companies pay for LiteTMS in advance by topping up their account balance, by hand or automatically. Every paid, booked top-up from a client you referred writes a new commission into your ledger. If that company tops up every month, you get a new entry every month. An example: a company referred in March tops up roughly once a month. By October your ledger holds eight commissions from that client, each with its date and amount, and more arrive with each further payment. Because every payment counts, a growing client that tops up more often or with larger amounts means more entries or larger ones in your ledger. A few rules from the [Partner Program Terms](/en/partner-terms) are worth knowing from day one: - The commission is based on the payment amount excluding VAT and is recorded in the currency of that payment. - No commission arises from a pro forma invoice, free or promotional balance, a test account or a self-referral. - If a client gets a refund or disputes a card payment with their bank (a chargeback), the ledger shows a reversal at the original rate, never more than the commission itself. - Commission rates and tiers are agreed individually. You see them in the partner portal or have them confirmed by email or another durable record. Your individual terms can also set a different accrual period, and where they do, they take precedence over the general terms. ## The partner portal: what happens to each referral, in plain view The **Dashboard** shows your available balance, lifetime earnings, number of referred clients, codes in use, payout progress and the latest ledger activity. The **Clients** page lists every company that signed up with your codes: its name, workspace address, number of users (refreshed every night), referral date and the **Earned from client** column, which is the sum of commissions and bonuses from that company minus reversals. You do not see the client's invoices or contact details, only what is needed to settle with you. The **Earnings** page is the full ledger: commissions, bonuses, reversals and payouts. Each entry has a date, client, net top-up amount, rate and amount, and you can filter by any column. A new commission appears there as soon as the client's payment is booked. This ledger is the primary statement of your commissions, so report any entry you disagree with within 30 days of it appearing. If your clients pay in different currencies, each currency has its own balance and payout threshold in the portal. Amounts are never converted. ## Request a payout with one button When your balance in a currency reaches the payout threshold, go to **Payouts** and press the request button, which names the amount (for example **Request 570.00 PLN payout**). The request covers your whole available balance in that currency, paid by bank transfer. To be paid you need correct bank and tax details and an invoice or another document the law requires. We pay an approved, undisputed request within 30 days of receiving the complete details and document. The request history shows the status of each payout: pending, paid or rejected. A rejection comes with a reason, and your balance stays in your account. ## Cost calculator and a sales team The **Cost Calculator** helps you prepare a conversation with a prospect. You set the team and fleet, modules and expected usage, and the estimated monthly and annual cost updates at once from the current price list. It is an estimate for the conversation, not an offer. A partner registered as a company can add its sales reps under **Team**. Each rep signs in with their own account, and you decide whether they see all of the company's clients or only those who signed up with their codes, and whether they see the balance and earnings history. Commissions and payouts always belong to the company account. ## How to become a LiteTMS partner Fill in the short form on the [partner program page](/en/partners) and we will get in touch to discuss terms. The [Partner Program Terms](/en/partner-terms) set out the rules, and the partnership starts when we confirm your application and send you your terms: your rates and tiers. ## FAQ ### Is the commission paid only on a client's first payment? No. You earn a commission on every booked, qualifying payment from a client you referred, for as long as the client's link to you and your partner account are active. The only exception is when your individual terms expressly set a different accrual period. ### When does a new commission show up in the partner portal? As soon as the client's payment is booked to their balance. The entry then appears in the Earnings ledger with its date, client and amount. ### Where can I see how much one client has earned me? On the Clients page, in the Earned from client column. It is the sum of commissions and bonuses from that company minus reversals, shown separately for each currency. ### What are the commission rates in the LiteTMS Partner Program? Rates and tiers are agreed individually with each partner. You see them in the partner portal or have them confirmed by email or another durable record. ### What happens to my commission if a client gets a refund? The ledger shows a reversal at the original rate, never more than the commission on that payment. It can reduce future commissions in the same currency. ### How do I withdraw my partner commission? When your balance in a currency reaches the payout threshold, press the payout request button on the Payouts page. We transfer the whole available balance in that currency once we have your settlement details and an invoice or other required document. --- # Poland's CPN fuel caps for 8 October 2026: all three fall > Poland's CPN fuel caps for 8 October 2026: Pb95 6.83, Pb98 7.71 and diesel 7.74 PLN/l including VAT.

See the [next daily update](/en/blog/cpn-fuel-prices-2026-10-09) for the new limits, the changes from Thursday and the price history since 3 October. Poland's maximum fuel prices for **Thursday, 8 October 2026**, will be **6.83 PLN/l for Pb95 petrol, 7.71 PLN/l for Pb98 petrol and 7.74 PLN/l for diesel, including VAT**. Tomorrow all three caps fall together for the first time since the programme began: petrol by 0.03 PLN/l and diesel by 0.06 PLN/l. The Minister of Energy announced the new limits on 7 October in [Monitor Polski 2026, item 978](https://www.monitorpolski.gov.pl/MP/2026/978). *Prices checked on 7 October 2026 at 13:10 Polish local time.* ## Maximum fuel prices for 8 October 2026 | Fuel | Cap excluding VAT, PLN/l | Cap including VAT, PLN/l | |---|---:|---:| | Pb95 petrol | 6.32 | 6.83 | | Pb98 petrol | 7.14 | 7.71 | | Diesel | 7.16 | 7.74 | Both sets of values come from the [original notice, item 978 (PDF)](https://monitorpolski.gov.pl/MP/2026/978/M2026000097801.pdf). The retail figures include 8% VAT. These caps apply at every filling station in Poland. They are maximum prices, so a station can charge less. The effective date is confirmed in the [Ministry of Energy announcement of 7 October](https://www.gov.pl/web/energia/maksymalna-cena-detaliczna-paliw-obowiazujaca-8-pazdziernika-2026-r). ## What changes from 7 October? The changes per litre, including VAT, are: - **Pb95: -0.03 PLN**, from 6.86 to 6.83 PLN/l. - **Pb98: -0.03 PLN**, from 7.74 to 7.71 PLN/l. - **Diesel: -0.06 PLN**, from 7.80 to 7.74 PLN/l. The diesel cap falls for a third day running: by 0.06 PLN/l on Tuesday, 0.02 PLN/l on Wednesday and 0.06 PLN/l again on Thursday. After two increases, both petrol caps go down for the first time. The comparison uses notices [974](https://monitorpolski.gov.pl/MP/2026/974) and [978](https://www.monitorpolski.gov.pl/MP/2026/978). ## CPN price history from 3 to 8 October Friday's notice set one group of caps for Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Since Tuesday, the caps have changed every day. The table covers the whole October edition so far, including the announced prices for tomorrow. | Effective date | Pb95, PLN/l incl.

Pb95 will be **0.10 PLN/l higher**, and Pb98 **0.12 PLN/l higher**. That has almost closed the gap between the diesel and Pb98 caps: on 3 October the diesel cap was 0.29 PLN/l above the Pb98 cap, and on 8 October the difference will be 0.03 PLN/l. ## What does the change mean for a truck's fuel bill? Buying **600 litres of diesel at the maximum price** would cost 4,680 PLN including VAT on 7 October and **4,644 PLN on 8 October**. That is **36 PLN less** for the same fill. Against the cap for the programme's first three days, the difference is 84 PLN including VAT. When you quote a job for the coming days, use the price you expect to pay for fuel, including any agreed discount. The cap for the day you refuel is usually published only the day before. Settle the completed trip using the actual purchase recorded on the invoice. Wednesday's caps and the comparison with Tuesday are in our [update for 7 October](/en/blog/cpn-fuel-prices-2026-10-07). The [guide to Poland's October CPN package](/en/blog/cpn-poland-october-2026) explains the programme, the VAT and excise changes, and the wider implications for carriers and freight forwarders. ## FAQ ### What are Poland's maximum fuel prices for 8 October 2026? The caps for 8 October 2026 are 6.83 PLN/l for Pb95 petrol, 7.71 PLN/l for Pb98 petrol and 7.74 PLN/l for diesel, including VAT. They are set in the [Minister of Energy's notice of 7 October, Monitor Polski 2026 item 978](https://www.monitorpolski.gov.pl/MP/2026/978). ### Is diesel cheaper on 8 October than on the previous day? The diesel cap falls by 0.06 PLN/l, from 7.80 PLN/l on 7 October to 7.74 PLN/l on 8 October, including VAT. This compares notices [974](https://monitorpolski.gov.pl/MP/2026/974) and [978](https://www.monitorpolski.gov.pl/MP/2026/978); the actual fuel bill depends on the chosen station's price. ### Do petrol caps also fall on 8 October? Yes. Both petrol caps fall by 0.03 PLN/l, Pb95 to 6.83 PLN/l and Pb98 to 7.71 PLN/l, including VAT. It is the first cut to the petrol caps since the programme began on 3 October, according to [Monitor Polski 2026 item 978](https://www.monitorpolski.gov.pl/MP/2026/978). ### When do the fuel caps announced on 7 October take effect? The caps in [Monitor Polski 2026 item 978](https://www.monitorpolski.gov.pl/MP/2026/978) apply on 8 October 2026. The [Ministry of Energy](https://www.gov.pl/web/energia/maksymalna-cena-detaliczna-paliw-obowiazujaca-8-pazdziernika-2026-r) confirms the date: a new cap applies from the day after its publication in Monitor Polski. --- # Order templates in LiteTMS: save a regular run once > Order templates (Matchcodes) in LiteTMS keep a regular order with its route, cargo, crew and rate. Create the next one from it for any day, without retyping. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/order-templates-matchcodes - Published: 2026-10-07 - Category: Product updates - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/order-templates-matchcodes.en.md Order templates (Matchcodes) is a LiteTMS module that turns a real transport order into a template. The template keeps the route with its cargo, the crew, the documents, the geofencing settings and the rate. When the next order of the same kind comes in, you create it from the template: pick the day of the first loading and every stop's time window moves to that day. If you only need to repeat an order once, you don't need the module at all: Duplicate order on the orders list does the job. The video is narrated in Polish, with Polish captions. ## The same run every week, the same typing every week Plenty of transport companies run fixed lanes: the same customer, the same route, the same pallets, often the same driver. A weekly run adds up to 52 nearly identical orders a year. Without a template, each one is either typed in again or copied from last week and patched by hand. The dates are where that goes wrong. The customer, the addresses and the rate rarely change; the time windows change every single time. Miss one window while copying and the driver is sent an unloading slot from last week. A LiteTMS template deals with both problems: you enter the details once, and the day you pick sets the dates. ## A template starts from a real order You don't build a template from scratch. Open the order that keeps coming back, go to its **Templates (Matchcodes)** tab and click **Save as template**. You can also start from the module page, where **New template** lets you find the order by its number, customer or reference. Each template gets a short **code (matchcode)** to find it by, such as POZ-LYO for a Poznań → Lyon run. LiteTMS suggests a code built from the first and last city on the route and a name like "Poznań → Lyon". A code can be up to 32 characters, Polish letters and spaces are fixed for you, and the field tells you straight away whether the code is free. Then you decide what the template should remember: - **Route**: every stop in order, with its address, time window, contacts, notes and cargo. - **Crew**: the driver, vehicle and trailer assigned to each leg. - **Documents**: copies of the order's files, attached to every order created from the template. - **Geofencing**: the route corridor width, the arrival zone radii and the alert rules. - **Finance**: net revenue or rate, currency, VAT and payment term. The customer, payer, order type, priority, contact and notes are always saved. If the order has nothing to save for an option, for example no documents yet, that option is greyed out with the reason next to it. A template is a snapshot of the order at the moment you saved it: later changes to the source order don't reach it until you refresh it yourself. ## A new order from a template: pick the day, the dates follow When the next order of that kind arrives, click **Create order**. The button is on the template list, on the template's own page and in the order's Templates tab. You can also start on the **Add order** page: the **Find a template** box shows your recently used templates as soon as you click into it, and typing a code, name, customer or city finds any other. The **Create an order from a template** dialog asks one question first: when is the first loading? It suggests today, tomorrow, the next working day and the same weekday as in the template, and the date field takes any other day. Every stop's time window moves by the same number of days, with the same hours. Before anything is created you see each stop with its new window and, beside it, the template's date struck through. If some windows would already be in the past on the day you picked, the dialog warns you. In the same dialog you can untick anything you don't want this time, such as the crew because someone else is driving this week. The template itself stays as it is. The dialog also applies the rules every new order follows. A customer or payer on the blacklist needs your explicit confirmation, a customer from a branch you don't work with can't be used, and the crew is only assigned if you are allowed to assign drivers and vehicles. Click **Create order** and you get an ordinary order with its own number, which you edit like any other. Its status is "Draft", or "Planned" when the crew is assigned straight away. The new order's Templates tab shows which template it came from. ## All your templates in one place The module page lists every template with its customer, route, what it copies, how many times it has been used and when it was last used. The most recently used templates come first, and the header filters narrow the list by template, customer or route. Each template has its own page showing exactly what it contains: the stops with addresses and cargo, the crew on each leg and the finance details, the last only for people allowed to see order costs. There you can correct the code, name and description, or use **Refresh from the source order** when, say, the customer has moved its unloading address. Deleting a template leaves the orders created from it untouched. Separate permissions control who can view templates, who can create orders from them and who can save and change them. ## A one-off copy? Duplicate order, no module needed Not every repeat deserves a template. When you need a single copy, open the order's menu on the orders list (the three dots) and choose **Duplicate order**. Tick what to carry over: route and cargo, crew, documents, geofencing, finance. The customer, payer, order type, priority, notes and contact are always copied. Click **Create copy** and a new draft with its own number appears. Duplicating works in LiteTMS without the Order templates module; all you need is permission to create orders. The copy keeps the original's dates, so you set the new windows in it yourself. Copied documents stay hidden from drivers until you share them, and the crew is proposed again on the copy. A simple rule of thumb: duplicate a one-off, save a regular run as a template. ## How to turn Order templates on Order templates (Matchcodes) is a paid module in the [LiteTMS module marketplace](/en/blog/module-marketplace-built-from-company-feedback) with a free 7-day trial. You see the monthly price there before you switch it on. A launch price applies until 31 December 2026, and a subscription started at that price keeps it. If you don't cancel during the trial, the first month is charged when it ends. If you cancel later, your saved templates and their document copies stay in your account. If you run regular lanes, [get in touch](/en/contact) and bring an example of one. We'll show you how to save it as a template and create next week's order from it. ## FAQ ### What is a matchcode in LiteTMS? It's the short code of an order template, such as POZ-LYO, up to 32 characters long. You find a template by its code, name, customer or city when you add a new order. ### Does changing the source order change the template? No. A template keeps the order as it was when you saved it. To bring new details into it, open the template's page and refresh it from the source order. ### What happens to the dates when I create an order from a template? You pick the day of the first loading, and every stop's time window moves by the same number of days, keeping its hours. Before the order is created you see the new windows next to the template's dates. ### Can I copy an order without the Order templates module? Yes. On the orders list, choose Duplicate order from the order's menu, tick what to carry over and create the copy. You get a new draft with the original's dates, which you adjust in the copy. --- # Poland's CPN fuel caps for 7 October 2026: diesel falls > Poland's CPN fuel caps for 7 October 2026: Pb95 6.86, Pb98 7.74 and diesel 7.80 PLN/l including VAT.

The date is confirmed by the [Ministry of Energy](https://www.gov.pl/web/energia/maksymalna-cena-detaliczna-paliw-obowiazujaca-7-pazdziernika-2026-r). --- # Poland's October 2026 CPN package: fuel caps and freight costs > Poland's CPN returned on 3 October 2026. See daily petrol and diesel caps, the price history, VAT and excise changes, and what they mean for freight costs. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/cpn-poland-october-2026 - Published: 2026-10-06, updated 2026-10-09 - Category: Industry insights - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/cpn-poland-october-2026.en.md > **Update, 9 October 2026:** The caps for 10 to 12 October have been announced. Our [update for the weekend and Monday](/en/blog/cpn-fuel-prices-2026-10-10) has the latest limits, the changes from Friday and the price history since rollout. Earlier days are covered in the updates for [7](/en/blog/cpn-fuel-prices-2026-10-07), [8](/en/blog/cpn-fuel-prices-2026-10-08) and [9 October](/en/blog/cpn-fuel-prices-2026-10-09). Poland's CPN package, short for “Ceny Paliwa Niżej”, returned on 3 October 2026 and is scheduled to run until the end of the year. It lowers VAT and excise on fuel and brings back maximum petrol and diesel prices. For carriers, the immediate change is in fuel bills and the fuel costs used in route quotes. [Ministry of Energy announcement, 2 October](https://www.gov.pl/web/energia/tansze-tankowanie-dla-kierowcow-rzad-uruchamia-nowa-edycje-programu-cpn). **As checked on the morning of 6 October 2026, Polish local time:** the maximum prices are **Pb95 petrol 6.79 PLN/l, Pb98 petrol 7.66 PLN/l and diesel 7.82 PLN/l, including VAT**. Stations can charge less. The caps are set by [Monitor Polski 2026, item 968](https://www.monitorpolski.gov.pl/MP/2026/968). ## Daily maximum fuel prices since 3 October Here are the caps for each day from 3 to 6 October. They stayed unchanged for the first three days, with the first adjustment taking effect on Tuesday. | Effective date | Pb95, PLN/l incl. VAT | Pb98, PLN/l incl. VAT | Diesel, PLN/l incl.

The diesel cap fell by **0.06 PLN/l**. Buying 600 litres of diesel at the maximum price would cost **4,728 PLN including VAT on 5 October and 4,692 PLN the next day**. That is 36 PLN less for one fill. For a purchase of 10,000 litres, the difference is 600 PLN. ## October is the third CPN round of 2026 This is the **third CPN round of 2026**. In spring, 8% VAT applied from 31 March through 30 June, while reduced excise ran from 30 March through 15 June. Lower VAT returned from 17 through 31 August. The October package reduces both taxes again. [Finance Ministry and KAS recap, 2 October](https://www.gov.pl/web/kas/rzad-wspiera-polakow-rusza-kolejna-odslona-obnizki-cen-paliw-w-ramach-programu-cpn). ## VAT, excise and the fuels covered From 3 October through 31 December 2026, **VAT on fuel covered by the package is 8% instead of 23%**. The reduction covers the petrol and diesel products listed in the regulation, qualifying blends with biocomponents, and biocomponents used as standalone fuel if they meet the quality requirements. [VAT regulation, Dz.U. 2026 item 1288, § 1](https://dziennikustaw.gov.pl/D2026000128801.pdf). Reduced excise is **1,239 PLN per 1,000 litres of petrol** and **880 PLN per 1,000 litres of diesel and the specified biocomponents**, for the same period. [Excise regulation, Dz.U. 2026 item 1289, § 1](https://dziennikustaw.gov.pl/D2026000128901.pdf). According to the Finance Ministry, the excise cut alone is 0.29 PLN/l for petrol and 0.28 PLN/l for diesel. The ministry estimates that the package will reduce pump prices by roughly 1.20 to 1.30 PLN/l overall. [Finance Ministry / KAS announcement, 2 October](https://www.gov.pl/web/kas/rzad-wspiera-polakow-rusza-kolejna-odslona-obnizki-cen-paliw-w-ramach-programu-cpn). The price caps cover **Pb95 petrol, Pb98 petrol and diesel**. LPG falls outside these caps and the VAT reduction described here. Products marketed as premium follow the rules for their fuel classification; a brand name does not create a separate price category. [Fuel scope in item 968](https://monitorpolski.gov.pl/MP/2026/968/M2026000096801.pdf), [VAT regulation](https://dziennikustaw.gov.pl/D2026000128801.pdf). ## How the cap works, including weekends The cap is based on average wholesale prices from five leading market participants. The calculation includes excise, the fuel fee, VAT and 0.30 PLN/l for station operating costs. A new cap applies from the day after publication. A notice issued before a weekend covers the weekend and the next working day. [Mechanism explained in V10's 3 October report](https://v10.pl/program-cpn-powrocil-odwiedzilem-stacje-paliw-zobaczyc-ile-kierowcy-teraz-zaplaca-za-tankowanie/). That is what happened at the start of October: the Friday notice of 2 October set prices for Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The next caps took effect on Tuesday, 6 October. The cap applies to every station in Poland, including motorway sites. It lets a carrier check whether a pump price falls within the allowed amount. The cost recorded for a transport job is the actual price paid on the invoice. [Ministry of Energy rules announced on 2 October](https://www.gov.pl/web/energia/tansze-tankowanie-dla-kierowcow-rzad-uruchamia-nowa-edycje-programu-cpn). ## How the windfall tax relates to CPN The government links funding for the relief to a windfall tax on fuel businesses. The law published on 1 October covers fuel producers and businesses licensed for foreign fuel trade. Its taxable period runs from 1 March 2026 through 31 March 2027. The rate is **60% of the tax base defined in the law**. For specified businesses that do not produce fuel, tax payable is capped at 50% of the relevant income or profit. [Dz.U. 2026 item 1287, articles 4, 5, 7 and 8](https://eli.gov.pl/api/acts/DU/2026/1287/text.pdf). Most provisions take effect on 1 November. Article 11, which allows the excise reduction, took effect earlier, on 2 October. This allowed lower excise to apply from the following day. [The same law, articles 11 and 14](https://eli.gov.pl/api/acts/DU/2026/1287/text.pdf). The President signed the law on 1 October and announced that it would be referred to the Constitutional Tribunal for review. [President's official record, 1 October](https://www.prezydent.pl/prawo/ustawy-podpisane/ustawy-podpisane-w-pazdzierniku-2026-r,127682). A carrier buying fuel for its vehicles does not become liable for this tax through that purchase. The obligation applies to the fuel-sector activities specified in the law. ## What changes for carriers, forwarders and freight buyers A carrier with its own fleet feels the change directly at the pump. Lower bills can ease cash flow. Profit on a route also depends on the fuel's net price, consumption, discounts and the rate agreed with the customer. For a forwarder using subcontractors, CPN's effect comes through transport prices or fuel surcharges. Here is what to check in daily work: - **Carriers:** use the new fuel prices when quoting routes. Calculate costs for completed jobs from actual purchases during the period when they ran. - **Forwarders:** check the fuel surcharge reference in the contract. It may use retail prices, wholesale prices, a monthly index or another agreed measure. - **Freight buyers:** fuel is one component of a transport price. Wages, tolls, vehicle finance and empty mileage remain part of the calculation. - **Stations and suppliers:** price lists and settlements must reflect the new taxes and caps. The cap includes 0.30 PLN/l for station operating costs. For international routes, calculate fuel costs separately for each country of purchase. Polish caps apply only to purchases at stations in Poland. ## Fuel prices with and without VAT The gross price is the amount paid at the pump. The net price is the fuel's value before VAT. The caps for 6 October are: | Fuel | Official cap excluding VAT, PLN/l | Official cap including VAT, PLN/l | |---|---:|---:| | Pb95 | 6.29 | 6.79 | | Pb98 | 7.09 | 7.66 | | Diesel | 7.24 | 7.82 | Source: [original notice, M.P. 2026 item 968](https://monitorpolski.gov.pl/MP/2026/968/M2026000096801.pdf). Lower VAT can reduce the bill even when the net fuel price stays the same. For example, fuel priced at 7.00 PLN/l before VAT costs 8.61 PLN/l with 23% VAT and 7.56 PLN/l with 8% VAT. The payment falls by 1.05 PLN/l while the net price remains 7.00. The effect on business costs depends on how the business accounts for VAT. Take a **1,000 km route at 30 l/100 km**: it needs 300 litres of diesel. Buying that fuel at the maximum price, without discounts, would cost 2,346 PLN including VAT or 2,172 PLN before VAT on 6 October. The gross cost is 2.346 PLN/km. For the same route and consumption the previous day, the cost would be 2,364 PLN gross or 2,190 PLN net, 18 PLN more. Compare actual invoice prices on the same basis: net or gross. Calculate fuel surcharges using the reference agreed in the contract. ## How long the package lasts and how prices can change The Ministry of Energy links the return to high prices and market instability, including events in the Middle East and around the Strait of Hormuz. [Ministry announcement, 2 October](https://www.gov.pl/web/energia/tansze-tankowanie-dla-kierowcow-rzad-uruchamia-nowa-edycje-programu-cpn). The current edition is scheduled to run through **31 December 2026**. During that period, caps can rise or fall with new notices. The first change came on 6 October, when petrol caps rose and diesel's fell. Following the latest caps helps keep fleet budgets current. ## What the daily follow-ups will contain The daily follow-ups will give that day's caps, the change against the previous day and a short recap of recent prices. Each dated table will include sources and a chart running from 3 October. Updates will appear in the [blog archive](/en/blog). ## Sources and verification date The data was checked on the **morning of 6 October 2026**. Prices come from Monitor Polski, tax rates from published regulations, and the programme details from October announcements and reporting. Source links appear beside the relevant information. ## FAQ ### What are Poland's maximum fuel prices on 6 October 2026? Pb95 petrol is capped at 6.79 PLN/l, Pb98 at 7.66 PLN/l and diesel at 7.82 PLN/l, including VAT. [M.P. 2026 item 968](https://www.monitorpolski.gov.pl/MP/2026/968) establishes those daily limits; a station's actual price may be lower. ### What were the caps on 3, 4 and 5 October 2026? On each day, the VAT-inclusive caps were 6.73 PLN/l for Pb95, 7.59 PLN/l for Pb98 and 7.88 PLN/l for diesel. All three days were covered by [M.P. 2026 item 964](https://www.monitorpolski.gov.pl/MP/2026/964). ### When does the October CPN package end? It runs from 3 October through 31 December 2026, according to the [Ministry of Energy announcement](https://www.gov.pl/web/energia/tansze-tankowanie-dla-kierowcow-rzad-uruchamia-nowa-edycje-programu-cpn). Maximum prices are set in successive notices during that period. ### Does the CPN package cover LPG? LPG is outside these price caps and the VAT reduction described here. The package covers the fuels listed in [notice 968](https://monitorpolski.gov.pl/MP/2026/968/M2026000096801.pdf) and the [VAT regulation](https://dziennikustaw.gov.pl/D2026000128801.pdf). ### Does a transport company have to pay the windfall tax? Buying fuel for vehicles does not create that obligation. The tax covers fuel producers and businesses trading under a foreign fuel-trade licence, as specified in [article 5 of Dz.U. 2026 item 1287](https://eli.gov.pl/api/acts/DU/2026/1287/text.pdf). ### Does lower VAT save a business the full fall in the gross price? Lower VAT reduces the gross payment even if the net price stays the same. The effect on business costs depends on how the business accounts for VAT, so compare actual purchase prices on the same basis: net or gross. --- # Export transport orders to CSV, Excel or XML for your accounting > LiteTMS Order Export turns one order or a whole month of them into a CSV, Excel or XML file laid out for your accounting program, so nobody retypes orders. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/order-export-csv-excel-xml - Published: 2026-10-05 - Category: Product updates - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/order-export-csv-excel-xml.en.md Order Export is a LiteTMS module that turns transport orders into a file another program can import: CSV, Excel (XLSX) or XML, laid out the way that program expects. You export one order from its own page or a whole batch from the module's Export page, and LiteTMS records which orders went out, when, and who downloaded the file. That is how your orders reach accounting software, an ERP or a client's system without anyone typing them in a second time. The video is narrated in Polish. ## Retyping a finished order is where the mistakes come in In many transport companies the order lives in one system and the invoice in another. Once the truck has delivered, someone sits down with both windows open and copies the order across: the order number, the customer, the tax ID, the route, the rate. Field by field, order by order, and at the end of the month there is a pile of them. The work is dull, and it is exactly where mistakes come in. One extra zero in the rate or two swapped digits in a tax ID, and the invoice no longer matches the order. Most accounting and ERP programs do not need anyone to type. They can import a file. The catch is that every program wants its own layout: its column names and their order, a semicolon or a comma between values, its own date format and decimal separator, sometimes an older character encoding, sometimes an XML document with many invoices inside. Order Export builds that file from the orders you already have in LiteTMS. ## A template describes the file your program expects A template says what goes into the file and in which layout. You set it up once per program on the module's **Templates** tab, and you can start from a blank CSV file, a blank Excel sheet, a blank XML document, a ready-made template, or the import file of the program itself (more on that below). For CSV and Excel you build a list of columns. **Add fields** opens a searchable picker grouped the way an order is: this file, your company, the order, the customer, the payer, route and dates, cargo, drivers and vehicles, amounts and payment. Each column can hold a field, fixed text such as a currency code, or text mixed with fields, for example "Transport order {order number}". You drag columns into the order the program wants, and each one can carry its own format: a date pattern, the number of decimals, capitals, digits only (a tax ID without dashes), letters without Polish characters, a maximum length, or a value to write when the field is empty. A file usually has one row per order, but you can choose one row for each stop, loading or unloading point, cargo item, driver, vehicle, trailer or route leg instead. For XML you build a tree of elements: one element repeats for every exported order, and elements inside it can repeat for its stops, cargo items or drivers, with attributes where the program needs them. **File settings** hold the rest: the file name (it can include the export date), the column separator (semicolon, comma or tab), the encoding (UTF-8 with or without BOM, Windows-1250 for older Polish programs, or ISO-8859-2), line endings, decimal and thousands separators, date formats, time zone, and whether translated values such as statuses are written in Polish or English. For spreadsheets there is also protection against formulas: text starting with =, +, - or @ gets an apostrophe so the sheet does not run it. You do not have to imagine the result. The preview beside the builder shows the file for a sample order or any real order you search for, as a table or as the file's actual text, and it updates as you change the template. ## Start from the file your program already imports The quickest way to a working template is often the program's own file. On **Start from your program's file** you upload a CSV or XML file that your accounting program imports, or an example of its import format, or paste its first lines. LiteTMS reads its layout and matches its columns to order fields, then tells you how many values it matched and which ones it left as fixed text or empty, so you know exactly what to check. Files up to 200 KB are accepted. Only the layout is used; the file itself is not stored. There are also three ready-made templates maintained by LiteTMS: **Orders list (Excel)**, **Invoice data for accounting (CSV)** and **Orders with route, cargo and crew (XML)**. Use one as it is, or press **Customize** to get your own copy to adjust. ## One order from its page, or a whole month at once For a single order, open it and go to the **Export** tab. Choose a template, check the file in the preview, and press **Download file**. The tab lists every export of that order below. At the end of the month, go to the module's **Export** page instead. It lists your orders with filters, and you tick the ones you need; the selection stays when you change pages or filters. **Select all matching** adds every order the filters match. One export takes up to 500 orders. **Preview** shows the first ones without recording anything, and **Download file** gives you either one file with all the selected orders or, if the template says so, a separate file for each order, downloaded together as a ZIP. ## LiteTMS remembers what has already been exported Every download is recorded. On the Export page each order shows whether it has been exported and how many times, and the **Not exported yet** filter leaves only the orders still waiting, so nothing goes to accounting twice and nothing is forgotten. The **History** tab lists every export: when, which template, the file name, how many orders, whether it was started from an order page or the Export page, and who did it. **Export again** rebuilds a file from the same orders, using the template as it is now. Amounts are protected the same way as elsewhere in LiteTMS. A template that reads amounts can be previewed and downloaded only by people allowed to view order finances; anyone else gets a clear message naming the fields, never a file with blanks. Separate permissions cover opening the module, downloading files, editing templates and deleting them. ## What Order Export does not do It does not send anything on its own. You download the file and import it in the other program, the way that program imports files. It writes CSV, Excel (XLSX) and XML, so the program on the other end has to accept one of those for its import. Check that before you build the template. ## How to switch it on Order Export is a paid module in the LiteTMS [module marketplace](/en/blog/module-marketplace-built-from-company-feedback), with a 7-day free trial. You see its monthly price there before you turn it on. Until 31 December 2026 it has a launch price, and a subscription started at that price keeps it. If you do not cancel during the trial, the first month is charged when the trial ends. If your office still retypes orders into another program, [contact us](/en/contact) and bring an example of the file that program imports. We will show you how a template for it is built. ## FAQ ### Which accounting programs does Order Export work with? Any program that can import a CSV, Excel (XLSX) or XML file. You set the columns or XML elements, separators, encoding and formats to match its import, or start from a file the program already imports. ### Can I export many orders into one file? Yes. Select the orders on the Export page, up to 500 at once, and download one file with all of them. A template can also make a separate file for each order, downloaded together as a ZIP. ### Does LiteTMS send the file to my accounting program automatically? No. You download the file in LiteTMS and import it in your accounting program or other system. LiteTMS records every download, so you can see which orders have already been exported. ### How do I avoid exporting the same order twice? Use the Not exported yet filter on the Export page. Each order shows whether and how many times it was exported, and the History tab lists every file with its date and the person who downloaded it. ### Is Order Export the same as the data export in settings? No. The export in settings covers employee, vehicle, trailer and contractor records as a protected archive, described in our post on [importing and exporting records](/en/blog/tms-data-import-export-freedom-to-switch). Order Export makes files of your orders for another program to import. --- # Meet LiteTMS at TransLogistica Poland 2026: Hall 3, stand P3 > LiteTMS is at TransLogistica Poland in Warsaw from 3 to 5 November, Hall 3, stand P3. Bring one of your orders and we will walk through it together. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/litetms-at-translogistica-poland-2026 - Published: 2026-10-01 - Category: News - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/litetms-at-translogistica-poland-2026.en.md The LiteTMS team will be at TransLogistica Poland at EXPO XXI in Warsaw from 3 to 5 November 2026. You will find us in Hall 3, at stand P3. October has started, so the fair is just over a month away, and we are working through the last details. The film is narrated in Polish. ## Remember three threes Everything you need to find us starts with a three: 3 November, Hall 3, stand P3. [TransLogistica Poland](https://translogistica.pl/en/) is the 13th International Transport, Logistics and Supply Chain Exhibition. This year it takes place at EXPO XXI, Prądzyńskiego 12/14, in Warsaw. According to the [organizer's practical information](https://translogistica.pl/en/practical-info/), visitors can enter on 3 and 4 November from 9:30 to 17:00 and on 5 November from 9:30 to 15:00. Badges are printed in Hall 4, so stop there before you head to Hall 3. Entry requires [online registration](https://rejestracja.translogistica.pl/en/) in advance. The organizer does not sell tickets on site, so sort it out before you travel. ## What we will show at the stand We would rather not explain LiteTMS with slides. We will follow one order from the email with the document to its settlement, the way it runs in a transport company's office. - **An order from a document.** Drop in a PDF, a scan, a Word file or an email, and the system prepares an order draft with the customer, places and vehicle matched. You review it and only then create the order. Import works when AI features are switched on for the company, and each import is billed as AI usage. Read more in our [post on AI order import](/en/blog/ai-order-import-from-documents). - **A route plan with breaks and rests.** LiteTMS can insert the driver's breaks and rests into the plan, so you see when the route will realistically end. It is still an estimate, but a closer one. The details are in our [post on more accurate ETAs](/en/blog/transport-order-eta-breaks-parking). - **The driver in LiteTMS Mobile.** The driver reports a status and completes tasks at a stop, such as photographing a document. The entry lands on the order with its time. This is how [tasks at every stop](/en/blog/point-tasks-photo-signature-at-every-stop) work. - **Documents, costs and the result.** The order holds its documents, the recorded costs and a result calculated from the freight rate and those costs. The more complete the costs, the closer the result is to reality. ## New things are on the way We are working on new things we want to show you in Warsaw. We are finishing the last details right now, so we are not giving them away yet. We would rather show them at the stand than describe them in an announcement. ## Bring one of your orders Conversations go best with something real on the table. Bring one of your orders, perhaps the one that caused the most trouble recently. We will walk through it together and see how it would look in LiteTMS. You can cover the customer's details beforehand; the course of the order is all we need. If you would like to book a specific time, email [contact@litetms.eu](mailto:contact@litetms.eu) in advance. In September we were at [TransLogistica Romania in Bucharest](/en/blog/litetms-arrived-translogistica-romania-2026), and now it is Warsaw's turn. See you in Hall 3. ## FAQ ### When and where is TransLogistica Poland 2026? From 3 to 5 November 2026 at EXPO XXI, Prądzyńskiego 12/14, Warsaw. Visitors can enter on 3 and 4 November from 9:30 to 17:00 and on 5 November from 9:30 to 15:00. ### Where is the LiteTMS stand at TransLogistica Poland? In Hall 3, at stand P3. Visitor badges are printed in Hall 4. ### Do I need to register for TransLogistica Poland? Yes. The organizer requires online registration and does not sell tickets on site. The form is at rejestracja.translogistica.pl. ### What can I bring to the LiteTMS stand? One of your own transport orders, on paper or as a file. We will walk through it together in LiteTMS, and you can cover the customer's details beforehand. --- # Team chat in LiteTMS: rooms for the whole office > LiteTMS team chat gives office staff direct messages and rooms they set up themselves, with files, voice notes and translation, right next to the orders. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/team-chat-rooms - Published: 2026-09-30 - Category: Product updates - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/team-chat-rooms.en.md LiteTMS has a team chat for the office. Colleagues can message each other directly or set up rooms, for example one for a market, a client or the warehouse, and share texts, PDFs, photos and voice notes in them. The conversation stays in your company's TMS, a click away from the orders, instead of on private phones and in separate messaging apps. The film is narrated in Polish. ## Why office agreements end up outside the TMS Forwarding runs on quick messages. The client moved the unloading to 14:00. Who takes the Hamburg load? Where is the delivery notice? In many transport offices these messages go through WhatsApp, Slack or Discord, often from private accounts. Those apps are good at chatting. The trouble starts when an agreement matters a day later. It sits on one person's phone, in a thread the rest of the office cannot open. When that person is on leave or off shift, colleagues call around to find out what was promised to the client, and nothing connects the conversation to the company's system. ## Colleagues and rooms on the Team side of the chat Open the chat from the assistant bubble in the bottom-right corner of the portal, or press Ctrl+K (⌘K on a Mac) and choose Team chat. The switch at the top has two sides: Drivers for conversations with your drivers, Team for the office. Messages on the Team side stay between office staff, and drivers never see them. The Team list shows your colleagues and your rooms. A dot on each person's picture shows who is online, and an open conversation also shows when that person was last active. You can start a direct conversation with anyone in your company who has chat access. A room is a group conversation you set up yourself. Click New room, type a name (up to 80 characters), tick the colleagues who should be in it and click Create room. A room holds up to 100 members. Whoever creates it becomes its admin and can add or remove people and rename the room. Any member can mute a room or leave it, and if the last admin leaves, the member who has been in the room longest takes over. Members see the room's whole history. When you add a colleague later, they can read what was agreed before they joined. Anyone who leaves or is removed loses access. ## Files, voice notes and translation in the same thread A room works like the rest of the LiteTMS chat. You can send a photo, a video, a PDF or an audio file (one file per message, with an optional caption), or record a voice note of up to five minutes. Voice notes are transcribed, so a colleague who cannot play audio right now can still read them. Any message or transcript can be translated with one click into a language your company has enabled. If the company switches on automatic chat translation, colleagues' messages in another language are translated into each reader's languages as they arrive; your own messages are never translated for you. We wrote more about this in the article on [chat translations](/en/blog/27-interface-languages-184-chat-translations). Translation and transcription are AI services billed by usage, and attachments count toward your file storage. ## The same conversations in LiteTMS Mobile Office users who sign in to LiteTMS Mobile get tabs for drivers and for the team there as well. The same colleagues and rooms appear, and a room can also be created from the phone. With notifications switched on, a new message in a room shows a push with the room's name and the sender, without the message text. A muted conversation sends no notifications and does not add to the unread count. The driver side on the phone is described in the post about [driver chats in the mobile app](/en/blog/dispatcher-chat-mobile-app). If your team's agreements live on private phones today, [get in touch](/en/contact). We will show you team chat on an order like the ones you handle every day. ## FAQ ### Can drivers see messages in LiteTMS team chat? No. Team chat is only for your company's office users. Conversations with drivers stay on the Drivers side of the same chat. ### How many people can be in a team chat room? Up to 100. The person who creates the room becomes its admin and can add or remove members and rename the room. ### Does someone added to a room later see the earlier messages? Yes. Room members see the whole history, so a colleague who joins later can read what was agreed. Anyone who leaves or is removed loses access. ### Can I use team chat on my phone? Yes. Office users have a team tab in LiteTMS Mobile with the same colleagues and rooms, and can create rooms there. Push notifications show the room name and the sender, not the message text. ### Is team chat a separate paid module? No. Team chat is part of LiteTMS, and access comes from the chat permissions in a user's role. Translation and voice-note transcription are AI services billed by usage, and attachments count toward file storage. --- # NIS2 explained: what transport companies need to know in 2026 > NIS2 in plain words: who the EU cybersecurity law covers, the ten required measures, 24-hour incident reporting, fines and the Polish deadlines. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/nis2-explained-transport-companies - Published: 2026-09-29 - Category: News - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/nis2-explained-transport-companies.en.md NIS2 is the EU's cybersecurity law for the companies that keep the economy running. It applies to medium-sized and large organisations in listed sectors, makes their management answerable for cyber risk, requires a set of basic security measures, and gives them 24 hours to raise the alarm after a serious incident. Most road hauliers and freight forwarders are not named in it directly. Many of their customers are, and those customers now have a legal duty to check the security of their suppliers, carriers and software included. That last point is the one worth keeping. For a typical transport company, NIS2 arrives less as a letter from a regulator and more as a questionnaire from a shipper. ## What NIS2 is, in plain words NIS2 is Directive (EU) 2022/2555. It replaced the first NIS directive from 2016, which covered far fewer companies and was applied very differently from one country to the next. Because it is a directive and not a regulation, it does not bind companies directly: each member state writes it into its own law, and was meant to do so by 17 October 2024. Not every country made that date. In July 2026 the European Commission referred Ireland, Spain, France and the Netherlands to the Court of Justice for failing to transpose it, and asked the court for a lump sum and daily penalties until they do ([Commission press release IP/26/1499](https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_26_1499), checked 29 September 2026). Poland finished in 2026. The act of 23 January 2026 amending the Act on the National Cybersecurity System was published in the Journal of Laws on 2 March 2026 (Dz.U. 2026 poz. 252) and has applied since 3 April 2026 ([Dziennik Ustaw 2026 poz. 252](https://dziennikustaw.gov.pl/D2026000025201.pdf), checked 29 September 2026). In Polish law, the two NIS2 categories are called *podmiot kluczowy* (essential entity) and *podmiot ważny* (important entity). One more date for completeness: on 20 January 2026 the Commission proposed targeted amendments to NIS2 as part of a wider cybersecurity package. They are a proposal, so the rules described below are the ones that apply today. ## Who NIS2 covers Two tests decide it: the sector you work in and the size of your company. The sectors are listed in two annexes. The first, "sectors of high criticality", includes energy, transport, banking, health, drinking water, digital infrastructure, managed IT services and public administration. The second, "other critical sectors", includes postal and courier services, waste management, chemicals, food production, processing and wholesale distribution, and the manufacture of things like machinery, electronics, motor vehicles and trailers. Size is the second test. As a rule, NIS2 applies to organisations in those sectors that are at least medium-sized under the EU definition: 50 or more employees, or annual turnover and balance sheet total both above EUR 10 million. Some organisations are covered regardless of size, for example the sole provider of an essential service in a country. Within scope there are two tiers. **Essential entities** are mostly large companies in the high-criticality sectors. **Important entities** are everyone else in scope. Both follow the same security and reporting rules. The difference is supervision and fines: the authority checks essential entities proactively, and important entities after the fact, when there is evidence of a problem. ## Does NIS2 apply to a trucking company? Usually not directly, and it is worth being precise about why. Transport is a high-criticality sector, but the directive lists specific types of company within it. Under air, rail and water transport it names carriers, airports, railway undertakings, shipping companies and port operators. Under road transport it names only two: road authorities responsible for traffic management, and operators of intelligent transport systems. The Polish list is the same, naming the road manager (*zarządca drogi*) and providers of ITS services. A road haulier or a forwarder is not on it. There are exceptions worth checking. A medium or large courier or postal operator falls under the postal and courier sector. Rail, water and air freight operators are named directly. And an authority can designate a company whose disruption would cause serious harm. If any of these might describe you, get a lawyer to look at your actual structure, because the classification decides everything that follows. For everyone else, the practical effect is indirect but real. NIS2 requires every covered company to manage "supply chain security, including security-related aspects concerning the relationships between each entity and its direct suppliers or service providers" (Article 21(2)(d)). A food wholesaler or a chemicals plant that ships with you now has to think about how you handle its data, who can log into the systems that carry its orders, and what happens to its deliveries if you are hit by ransomware. Expect the questions to come in tenders, security questionnaires and new contract clauses. ## What covered companies must do Article 21 asks for "appropriate and proportionate" technical, operational and organisational measures. Proportionate matters: a regional food distributor is not expected to run the same programme as an airport. The directive then lists what those measures must include at minimum: 1. Risk analysis and information security policies. 2. Incident handling. 3. Business continuity, including backups, disaster recovery and crisis management. 4. Supply chain security, meaning the suppliers and service providers you depend on. 5. Security when buying, developing and maintaining systems, including handling and disclosing vulnerabilities. 6. Ways to check whether all of the above actually works. 7. Basic cyber hygiene and cybersecurity training. 8. Rules on cryptography and, where appropriate, encryption. 9. Staff security, access control and knowing what equipment and systems you have. 10. Multi-factor authentication and secured voice, video and text communications where appropriate. Poland's version, in Article 8 of the amended act, asks for an information security management system that covers the same ground and spells out a few extra items, such as continuous monitoring of the systems used to provide the service and physical security with access control. Management carries this personally. Under Article 20, the management body approves the measures, oversees them and can be held liable when the company breaks the rules. Board members must also take cybersecurity training. The Polish act makes that concrete: the head of an essential or important entity completes training once every calendar year, and the training has to be documented. ## How fast incidents have to be reported A significant incident is one that has caused, or could cause, severe disruption to the service or financial loss for the company, or considerable damage to other people or businesses. For those, NIS2 sets three steps: - an **early warning within 24 hours** of becoming aware of it, saying whether it looks like an attack and whether it might affect other countries; - an **incident notification within 72 hours**, with a first assessment of severity and impact; - a **final report within one month** of that notification, covering the cause and what was done about it. In Poland these reports go to the relevant CSIRT, and the clock runs from detection. Twenty-four hours is short. The companies that meet it decide in advance who declares an incident, who calls whom, and where the contact details live when the email server is the thing that is down. ## Penalties For breaking the security or reporting rules, the directive sets fine ceilings of at least: - **EUR 10 million or 2% of total worldwide annual turnover**, whichever is higher, for essential entities; - **EUR 7 million or 1.4% of total worldwide annual turnover**, whichever is higher, for important entities. For essential entities that ignore orders, authorities can also go further, including asking a court to temporarily bar the chief executive from managing the company. Poland uses the same ceilings, with minimum fines of PLN 20,000 for an essential entity and PLN 15,000 for an important one, and up to PLN 100 million where a breach creates a serious threat, for example to public safety. The head of the company can be fined personally, up to 300% of their monthly pay. There is also a grace period: the ordinary fines for companies and their managers can be imposed for the first time only two years after the act took effect, so from 3 April 2028. ## The Polish timeline If your company met the criteria on 3 April 2026, these are your dates: | What | Deadline | Source | |---|---|---| | Apply for entry in the register of essential and important entities (the S46 system) | 7 May to 3 October 2026 | Minister of Digital Affairs communiqué, Dz.Urz. MC 2026 poz. 7 | | Implement the security obligations, including the management system | 3 April 2027 | Art. 33(1) of the amending act | | First audit, essential entities only | 3 April 2028 | Art. 33(2) of the amending act | | First possible fines | from 3 April 2028 | Art. 35 of the amending act | The registration window closes on Saturday, 3 October 2026. A company that meets the criteria later has six months from that day to apply. The application is filed electronically and includes a declaration by the head of the company, made under criminal liability, that the data is true. ## What a transport company should do now If you are in scope, the list above is your project, and the registration date is this week. If you are not, the useful work is the same work, at your own scale, because it is what your customers will ask about: - **Turn on two-factor login** for email, banking, your TMS and any telematics portal. Then a stolen password alone is not enough to log in. - **Know who has access to what.** When someone leaves, their accounts close that day, including the shared ones. - **Test a restore.** A backup you have never restored is a hope, not a plan. - **Write a one-page incident plan.** Who decides, who calls the insurer and the customers, where the phone numbers are kept offline. - **List your suppliers.** For each, what data they hold and how you would carry on without them for a day. - **Keep software updated**, and give the office twenty minutes on fake payment-detail changes and suspicious attachments. None of this needs a consultant. All of it helps you answer a security questionnaire without guessing. ## How LiteTMS supports your NIS2 supply-chain checks If your customers are in scope, your TMS is part of the supply chain they have to check. If you are in scope yourself, it is part of yours. Since NIS2 certifies no software, the useful question to put to any supplier is what it can show. Here is what LiteTMS can show today, against the measures listed above. - **Each company's data kept apart.** A company's operational data lives in its own separate database with its own database account, not in shared tables next to other customers' records. - **Multi-factor login and access control.** Every user can turn on two-step verification with an authenticator app or SMS codes, and administrators can see in the user list who has it switched on. Roles and permissions decide what each person can open, and access can be limited to selected branches. - **A protected login.** Repeated failed attempts are blocked for a while, users receive an email when their account signs in from a new device, sessions end after a period of inactivity, and changing a password signs out the other sessions. - **A record of who did what.** Security events such as sign-ins, failed sign-ins, permission changes and data exports are logged, and administrators with the right permission can review that log in the admin panel. - **Encryption.** Connections are encrypted, browsers are instructed to refuse unencrypted ones, and sensitive secrets such as two-factor keys and card PINs are stored encrypted. - **Continuity and a way out.** Backups are automated and kept isolated from the live system, and a company can request an export of its employee, vehicle, trailer and contractor records with related files. We wrote about [how import and export work](/en/blog/tms-data-import-export-freedom-to-switch) separately. - **Vulnerability handling.** Every deployment runs static code analysis, automated tests and a check of third-party libraries against known vulnerabilities. Dependency updates are monitored daily, the code is scanned for leaked secrets, and researchers can report a vulnerability privately to security@litetms.eu, as published in our security.txt file. - **Commitments in writing.** Our [data processing agreement](/en/dpa) lists the core technical and organisational measures in its annex, names the sub-processors, gives at least 14 days' notice before a new one starts, allows an audit once a year, and commits us to report a personal-data breach without undue delay, aiming for an initial notice within 48 hours where feasible. Core hosting and storage are in the EU. That is the material a supplier questionnaire usually asks for, and it is ready to hand over. If you want to walk through it with the person who fills in those questionnaires, or see it on one of your own transport jobs, [get in touch](/en/contact) and we will arrange it. ## Sources - [Directive (EU) 2022/2555 (NIS2)](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dir/2022/2555/oj), EUR-Lex.

For road transport, NIS2 names road authorities that manage traffic and operators of intelligent transport systems, not hauliers or forwarders. A haulier can still be in scope through another route, such as courier services, and many will be asked about security by customers who are covered. ### What is the NIS2 registration deadline in Poland? Companies that met the criteria on 3 April 2026 must apply for entry in the register of essential and important entities between 7 May and 3 October 2026. Companies that qualify later have six months from the day they meet the criteria. ### What are the fines under NIS2? At least EUR 10 million or 2% of worldwide annual turnover for essential entities, and EUR 7 million or 1.4% for important entities, whichever is higher. In Poland the head of the company can also be fined up to 300% of their monthly pay, and fines can first be imposed from 3 April 2028. ### How quickly must a NIS2 incident be reported? An early warning within 24 hours of becoming aware of a significant incident, a fuller notification within 72 hours, and a final report within one month of that notification. ### What is the difference between an essential and an important entity? Both follow the same security and reporting rules. Essential entities, mostly large companies in high-criticality sectors, are supervised proactively and face higher fines. Important entities are supervised after the fact, when there is evidence of a problem. ### Is there a NIS2 certificate for software? No. NIS2 places obligations on organisations, not on products, so no software is "NIS2 certified". What a covered company can ask a software supplier for is evidence of its security measures and contractual commitments, which it then weighs as part of its own supply-chain risk management. --- # One transport order through LiteTMS in 60 seconds > A one-minute video follows one order through LiteTMS: AI import from a document, the nearest free truck, a route with breaks, driver updates and the result. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/one-order-through-litetms-in-60-seconds - Published: 2026-09-28 - Category: Product updates - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/one-order-through-litetms-in-60-seconds.en.md This one-minute video follows a single order through LiteTMS. It starts with a document in an email, which the AI import turns into a draft order, and it ends with the order's financial result in the same system. On the way you see the nearest free truck being assigned, a route with planned breaks, an alert when the truck leaves its route corridor, driver updates from LiteTMS Mobile and a Romanian chat message the dispatcher reads in Polish. The video is narrated and captioned in Polish. Below we walk through each step and link to the article that covers the feature in detail, conditions included. ## A document from an email becomes a draft order Orders rarely arrive as a filled-in form. Usually it is a PDF attached to an email, a scan or a message that someone has to retype into the system. In LiteTMS you open Add Order, choose Load order with AI and add the document. One import takes up to eight files: PDFs, images, DOC and DOCX files or EML messages. LiteTMS reads all of it and prepares a draft order (from 0:09 in the video). From 0:14 you see what happens next. Every field shows whether its value was matched to a record in your panel: the customer, the places, the registration plates. Anything the document does not contain is left empty rather than guessed. The order is created only after you review the draft and confirm it. The import works while AI features are switched on for your company, and each import is billed as AI usage. The full story is in our article on [AI order import from documents](/en/blog/ai-order-import-from-documents). ## The fleet's week and the nearest free truck The order calendar gives every vehicle its own row and every order a bar on a timeline, so the whole week of the fleet fits on one screen. An order without a truck waits in the unassigned row (from 0:19). Open it and LiteTMS lists your vehicles. Those with a GPS position are sorted nearest first, by approximate straight-line distance to the order's first stop, and each one shows whether it is free in the time window. You pick the truck and assign it yourself. More in our articles on the [order calendar](/en/blog/orders-calendar-timeline) and [nearest-vehicle matching](/en/blog/nearest-vehicle-matching-order-calendar). ## A route with breaks, and an alert when the truck leaves it When you plan the route, LiteTMS can insert the driver's breaks and rest periods, and the estimated time of arrival (ETA) then counts those stops as well as the driving (from 0:25). It is still an estimate, because traffic and unloading can change the day, but the office gets a better reference than the sum of driving minutes. We covered it in the article on [a more realistic ETA](/en/blog/transport-order-eta-breaks-parking). From 0:30 you see a corridor drawn around the route. When the vehicle leaves it, the people you chose get an alert. When it returns, the order's activity gets an entry with the extra kilometres counted. There is one condition: LiteTMS needs positions from connected telematics. Alerts sent by SMS or email are billed like any other message of that kind. That is how [route geofencing](/en/blog/route-corridor-alerts-extra-kilometers) works. ## The driver, the chat and the money on the same order The driver reports each stage in the LiteTMS Mobile app with one tap at the stop (from 0:37). Every status lands on the order as an event with its time. Tasks attached to a stop, such as photos of the goods or the recipient's signature, are done on site, and the office finds them on the order. See [one-tap status updates](/en/blog/one-tap-driver-status-updates) and [tasks at route stops](/en/blog/point-tasks-photo-signature-at-every-stop). At 0:43 the driver writes in Romanian and the dispatcher reads the message in Polish. Chat messages and voice notes can be translated into the reader's language ([more on translations](/en/blog/27-interface-languages-184-chat-translations)). The translation is done by AI and billed by usage. For names, amounts and instructions it is worth a look at the original. From 0:45 the order shows the freight rate, the costs and the result in one view. The result is calculated from the recorded and estimated costs, so it is only as complete as the data entered on the order. ## When you need more than the standard setup The video closes with two ways to extend LiteTMS (from 0:49). The first is the [module marketplace](/en/blog/module-marketplace-built-from-company-feedback): you switch a module on, try it during the available trial period and see the subscription price in the panel. The second is [AI Builder](/en/blog/ai-builder-custom-dispatch-tabs). You describe the tab you need in plain words, for example a fuel log with the vehicle, date, litres, amount and a photo of the receipt. The builder prepares a layout that you check and adjust before saving. A custom module has its own price, and generating with AI is billed as AI usage. The video takes a minute, and a day in the office is rarely that tidy. If you want to see the same steps on an order like yours, [contact us](/en/contact) and bring a sample order. We will go through it together. ## FAQ ### Does the AI import create the order by itself? No. The import prepares a draft, and the order is created only after you check the matches and confirm the draft. It works while AI features are switched on for the company, and each import is billed as AI usage. ### How does LiteTMS know which truck is nearest to the order? From the vehicles' GPS positions. The list shows the approximate straight-line distance to the order's first stop and whether the vehicle is free in the time window, and the user makes the assignment. --- # Email from the transport order, with its documents attached > The LiteTMS Email module sends an order's CMR scans, photos, signatures and other files to clients and partners, and keeps each sent email with the order. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/email-from-transport-order - Published: 2026-09-25 - Category: Product updates - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/email-from-transport-order.en.md With the Email module, you write an email from inside a transport order in LiteTMS and attach that order's own documents: a CMR scan, unloading photos, the signature your driver collected, a carrier's invoice or any other file saved on the order. The addresses you already hold for the customer are one click away, the message goes out with your name on it, and replies come back to your own inbox. Every email sent stays with the order. The module is free; each email sent is charged at the standard rate shown in your billing panel. ## The documents are on the order, the email is somewhere else A customer asks for the signed CMR and the unloading photos before they accept the invoice. A carrier wants the loading references for tomorrow's pickup. The files are already in the order, but the email is written somewhere else: download the documents, open the mail program, look up the address, attach everything again, send. Afterwards the order shows none of it. A colleague who takes over the job in the afternoon cannot tell whether the CMR went out, to whom, or which version. That record sits in one person's sent folder. The Email module moves that message into the order, next to the documents it carries. ## Tick the documents you want to send Open the order and go to the Email tab. Under **Order documents** you see every file saved on the order, newest first, with a thumbnail. Tick a document to attach it, or click its thumbnail to preview it before you decide. Photos and signatures that drivers send from a stop in LiteTMS Mobile are [saved to the order as documents](/en/blog/point-tasks-photo-signature-at-every-stop), so they appear on the same list. Ticked files move to the **Selected attachments** panel, which shows how much of the limit you have used: up to 10 documents and 10 MB in total per email. If a file you need is not on the list yet, upload it on the order's Documents tab and it appears here. ## Addresses you already have, and any other you type In the **To** field, pick from **Addresses we already know**. These are the contact people saved for the order's contractor who have an email address, plus the company's own addresses such as office or billing. For anyone else, like a subcontracted carrier, a warehouse or a customs agent, type the address and press Enter. **Add Cc** puts in a visible copy and **Add Bcc** a hidden one. One email can go to up to 20 addresses in To, 10 in Cc and 10 in Bcc. ## Your name on the message, replies in your inbox The recipient sees the message from you, shown as "your name via LiteTMS.eu". When they reply, the answer goes to the email address of your LiteTMS account, so the conversation carries on in a real inbox rather than a no-reply address nobody reads. ## Templates and AI for the messages you repeat Some emails get written several times a week: documents after delivery, a loading confirmation, a request for missing paperwork. Save the message as a template, pick it the next time, edit it when the wording changes and delete it when you no longer need it. With many templates, search them by name or text. **Improve with AI** helps when a message is unclear or too long. You see the suggested text and can adjust it before it replaces yours. ## Every sent email stays with the order After sending, the message appears under **Sent from this order**: subject, who sent it and when, the recipients, the text, the attached files and whether it was sent. Click it to open the full message the way the recipient got it, with sender, reply address, every recipient and attachments you can preview. The same send shows up in the order's activity on the Communication and History tabs, where an Email filter lists only the emails. A colleague who opens the order later can see what went out without asking. Emails that are not about one particular order have a place too. On the module's own page you search for a contractor by company name to load their saved addresses, or type an address yourself. That page sends without attachments, and its Sent messages list shows every email sent from your company, from the page and from orders. ## Invoices issued in LiteTMS have their own Send button An invoice kept on the order as a file, such as a carrier's invoice for a subcontracted leg, can be ticked like any other document. A transport invoice you issue in LiteTMS already has its own **Send by email** action on the order's Finance tab. It attaches the invoice PDF for you, and you can add order documents to the same email. ## What it costs and how to turn it on Email is a free module in the LiteTMS [module marketplace](/en/blog/module-marketplace-built-from-company-feedback). An administrator turns it on, and orders get an Email tab. User roles decide who may send emails and who may only read the ones already sent. You pay only for the emails you send, at the rate shown in your billing panel, with a monthly free allowance where one applies. One email counts once, however many addresses are in To, Cc and Bcc. If you also need to reach someone by text message, the [SMS module](/en/blog/sms-from-transport-order) works from the same order. Want to see it on a job like yours? [Contact us](/en/contact) and bring an order with the documents your customers usually ask for. We will show you how they get from the order to the customer's inbox. ## FAQ ### Can I attach any file from the order to an email? Yes. Any document saved on the order can be attached, up to 10 files and 10 MB in total per email. A file from elsewhere has to be uploaded to the order's Documents tab first. ### Who can I email from a transport order in LiteTMS? The contact people and company addresses saved for the order's contractor are offered in a list. You can also type any other address, and one email can go to up to 20 addresses in To, 10 in Cc and 10 in Bcc. ### Where do replies to an email sent from LiteTMS go? Replies go to the email address of the LiteTMS user who sent the message. The recipient sees the sender as your name followed by "via LiteTMS.eu". ### How much does sending an email from LiteTMS cost? The module itself is free. Each email sent is charged at the standard rate shown in your billing panel, and one email counts once whatever the number of recipients. ### Can I see whether the email was delivered? You see whether each message was sent or refused by the mail server, both in the order and on the module page. The module does not track delivery into the recipient's inbox or whether the email was opened. ### Can I send an invoice issued in LiteTMS this way? An issued transport invoice is sent with the Send by email action on the order's Finance tab, which attaches the invoice PDF automatically and lets you add order documents. An invoice saved on the order as a file can be attached in the Email tab like any other document. --- # Jev AI in LiteTMS: where we've put it to work > See how TypeSafe's Jev AI model helps LiteTMS assess driver messages, places and imports, with JSON and Java examples explaining how it works. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/where-jev-helps-in-litetms - Published: 2026-09-24, updated 2026-09-25 - Category: Technology - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/where-jev-helps-in-litetms.en.md We've built Jev, an AI model from [TypeSafe AI](https://typesafe.ai/blog/introducing-system-one-models-and-jev?utm_source=litetms.eu), into several LiteTMS workflows. It can help spot driver messages that need attention, check whether two place names refer to the same city, suggest how to read an import file and avoid translating a message that's already in the reader's language. These are small assessments inside a transport management system, not a new chat assistant for the office. If the name is new to you, [our first Jev article](/en/blog/jev-ai-decisions-transport) explains the idea. A text-generating AI writes an answer to a prompt. Jev is designed to answer a narrower question, such as “Does this message need a reply?” LiteTMS then uses that assessment within the relevant workflow. ## Driver messages that deserve a closer look A driver can send a routine update, ask a question or report a problem. The office shouldn't have to treat every message as equally urgent. In the driver chat, we've added a Jev check that sorts incoming messages by subject and assesses whether the dispatcher needs to act. It can work with written messages and voice notes once their speech has been transcribed. For example, “The truck has a flat tyre” is different from “I've arrived.” A message assessed as needing action can appear in the attention view; a vehicle problem can also trigger an urgent notification. The office can still read the conversation, reply and mark the matter handled. Jev doesn't send an answer to the driver or decide how the breakdown should be resolved. For a flat tyre message, the AI assessment can be shown in JSON like this: ```json { "input": { "driver_message": "I have a flat tyre and cannot continue." }, "jev_assessment": { "category": "vehicle_problem", "needs_action_probability": 0.94 } } ``` LiteTMS reads the category and action score. A vehicle problem with a score this high can appear as urgent, so the office knows to respond. ## Place names in orders and transport documents A document might say “Köln” while the order says “Cologne.” A literal text comparison sees two different words, although both name the same city. We've added a Jev check for that specific question in AI-assisted order intake and in place checks for CMR documents. During order intake, it can help choose between suggested places or leave an uncertain match for review. When checking a CMR, a confident same-city answer can clear a *place-name mismatch* that would otherwise be flagged. A separate AI step reads the document; Jev judges whether the place names match. For the two city names, the assessment can look like this: ```json { "input": { "document_place": "Köln", "order_city": "Cologne" }, "jev_assessment": { "same_city_probability": 0.92 } } ``` The high same-city score can clear the place-name mismatch. Other parts of the CMR check remain separate. ## Import files with unfamiliar headings Moving information into a new system often begins with a spreadsheet. One file says “registration number,” another says “plate,” and a third has headings that are hard to recognize. LiteTMS first uses ordinary matching rules. Where those rules leave gaps, Jev can suggest what kind of records the file contains and which columns belong to which fields. The suggestions are marked as AI-assisted, and the person importing the file can review the mapping before creating records. We've connected this approach to the general import wizard, as well as CRM deal and cargo imports. A related check can recognize a company already on the contractor list despite a different spelling, helping avoid duplicate entries when the match is confident enough. Suppose an imported fleet spreadsheet uses “Unit ref.” for registration plates and “Internal ID” for the company's own vehicle codes. The sample values help Jev distinguish the two. When the usual header rules leave the registration field empty, the assessment can look like this: ```json { "input": { "columns": { "col_0": { "header": "Unit ref.", "examples": ["WX 4821A", "PO 7619K"] }, "col_1": { "header": "Internal ID", "examples": ["FLEET-17", "FLEET-42"] } }, "field_to_match": "registration_number" }, "jev_assessment": { "column": "col_0", "probability": 0.93 } } ``` LiteTMS can then suggest the first column for registration numbers. The office reviews that mapping before importing the records. If no column fits, Jev can select “none,” leaving the field for the user to map rather than forcing a match. ## A small check before chat translation Sometimes a message is already written in the language of the person reading it. Before running a full chat translation, LiteTMS can ask Jev to check that. A confident match lets the system show the original message; an uncertain answer sends it through the usual translation path. That keeps the decision narrow: the reader still gets the translation when the system cannot confidently skip it. Take a driver writing “Jestem na miejscu, czekam na załadunek,” meaning “I've arrived and I'm waiting to load.” For a reader using Polish, the check can produce this assessment: ```json { "input": { "message": "Jestem na miejscu, czekam na załadunek.", "reader_language": "pl" }, "jev_assessment": { "language": "pl", "probability": 0.96 } } ``` The detected language matches the reader's language, so LiteTMS can show the original. For a reader using English, the same Polish message still needs translation. A short reply such as “OK” is less informative: when the language cannot be confidently identified, the usual translation path remains available. ## How the Jev assessment fits into LiteTMS Jev gives LiteTMS a useful signal, while the office keeps control of the work. The integrations are built in and run when the platform decision layer is activated, subject to company settings. If Jev is unavailable, the usual chat, document and import workflows continue. ## A technical look: TypeSafe Jev, JSON and Java For readers who want to see what happens underneath, the useful starting point is the question we send. As [TypeSafe's quickstart](https://docs.typesafe.ai/introduction/quickstart?utm_source=litetms.eu) shows, a request contains `state`, the information to assess, and `questions`, the assessments to make. A `noul` question returns a number between 0 and 1 representing the probability that a statement holds. A `choice` question selects among named options, which is how we ask about a message's category. Here is the action question on its own, using the model identifier configured in our OpenRouter integration: ```json { "model": "typesafe/jev-1.13", "state": { "driver_message": "I have a flat tyre and cannot continue." }, "questions": { "needs_action": { "type": "noul", "instructions": "The dispatcher must act on driver_message today: reply, give instructions, inform the customer or arrange help. Routine updates and thanks need no action." } } } ``` The relevant part of the response can look like this: ```json { "answers": { "needs_action": { "type": "noul", "noul": 0.94 } } } ``` The application reads `answers.needs_action.noul` and applies a rule. LiteTMS uses an action threshold of `0.55` for driver-message attention. After decoding the JSON, the same check can be written in Java: ```java Double probability = 0.94; // Value from answers.needs_action.noul boolean needsAttention = probability != null && Double.isFinite(probability) && probability >= 0.55 && probability <= 1.0; if (needsAttention) { System.out.println("Flag the message for dispatcher review"); } ``` The code checks that the value is usable before comparing it with the threshold. In LiteTMS, the category assessment supplies the other part of the rule: a vehicle problem that needs attention also qualifies for an urgent alert. The model assesses the message; the application defines the action. If the answer is missing, the normal chat workflow continues. The threshold depends on what happens next. For an import-column suggestion, LiteTMS accepts a selected column with a probability of at least `0.60`; skipping translation requires the reader's language to be selected with at least `0.90`. A score of `0.85` can therefore support a column suggestion that a person reviews, but it is not enough to skip chat translation. Each rule reflects the consequence of that particular decision. ## FAQ ### Who developed Jev AI? TypeSafe AI developed Jev as a System One model for structured decisions. LiteTMS integrates it into specific workflows such as driver-message assessment and place-name matching. ### What is Jev AI used for in LiteTMS? Jev is connected to driver-message triage, same-city checks in order intake and CMR place checks, import suggestions and a same-language check before chat translation. Platform and company settings determine whether an individual feature is active in a workspace. ### Does Jev reply to drivers or approve CMR documents? No. It can flag a driver message for attention and assess whether two place names refer to the same city. A person handles the message, and a same-city result does not validate the entire CMR document. ### What happens if Jev is uncertain or unavailable? LiteTMS keeps the existing workflow. For example, an uncertain language check uses the normal chat translation path, while an uncertain import suggestion leaves the mapping for a person to review. --- # Send an SMS from the transport order, even to people without the app > The LiteTMS SMS module texts an order's drivers, carriers and site contacts, with templates, AI help and the SMS count shown before you send. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/sms-from-transport-order - Published: 2026-09-23 - Category: Product updates - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/sms-from-transport-order.en.md With the SMS module, you send a text message straight from a transport order in LiteTMS: to the drivers assigned to it, to contact people at the contractor or a subcontracted carrier, to the site contacts at loading and unloading points, or to any number you type in. It arrives as an ordinary SMS, so the recipient does not need LiteTMS Mobile, and a record of what was sent stays with the order. The module itself is free; each SMS is charged at the standard rate shown in your billing panel. ## The app covers your drivers, not everyone on the job Your own drivers can talk to the office in the [company chat in LiteTMS Mobile](/en/blog/dispatcher-chat-mobile-app), with photos, voice notes and the whole history in one thread. That covers a large part of the daily conversation. A transport order, though, often involves people who will never install your app: the driver of a subcontracted carrier, a warehouse clerk waiting for the delivery, the customer's contact at the unloading point, or a new driver who has not logged in yet. For them, the quickest channel is still a text message. Without a place for it in the system, that message goes from someone's own phone. The number is copied out of the order, the text is typed on a small keyboard, and the exchange stays on a device no colleague can see. Whoever takes over the order in the afternoon has no way of knowing what was agreed in the morning. The SMS module puts that message in the order, next to everything else about the job. ## Recipients come from the order itself Open the order and go to the SMS tab. LiteTMS lists the people the order already knows, grouped by role: - drivers assigned to the order, with an **All drivers** button that selects them in one click, - the order contact, - the contractor's contact persons and company phone numbers, - contacts saved on the route points, - contacts and company numbers of carriers handling subcontracted legs. Tick the people you need. If a number is not on the list, type it into **Other number** with its country code, for example +48. A number saved without a country code is shown but cannot be selected, with a note explaining why, so someone can correct it in the right profile instead of it being skipped without a word. One message can go to up to 20 numbers, and each recipient gets it as a separate SMS. ## You see how many SMS a message takes before you send it A text message has a fixed size. Written in basic letters, one SMS holds 160 characters. A single letter outside the standard SMS alphabet, such as the Polish ą, ę or ł or any Cyrillic letter, switches the whole message to a format that holds 70. A short note about a new unloading time can quietly turn into two or three SMS for every recipient. The counter under the message shows characters, SMS and the format in use while you type. The **Send with basic letters only (é → e, ł → l, ü → u)** switch turns special letters from any language into basic ones (the Polish ą into a, the German ß into ss) and writes other alphabets, such as Cyrillic, in Latin letters. It tells you how many SMS that saves per recipient, and **Show what recipients receive** displays the text exactly as it will arrive. If your company wants basic letters in every message, an administrator can make that the rule under **Special letters** in the SMS settings. The summary beside the message does the arithmetic: recipients, SMS per recipient and SMS in total, with the price per SMS from your panel and the monthly free allowance where one applies. A send of 10 SMS or more asks for confirmation before anything goes out. ## Templates and AI for the messages you repeat Some messages get written several times a week: a new loading slot, a reminder about documents, directions to the right gate. Save such a message as a template, pick it next time, overwrite it when the wording changes, and delete it when you no longer need it. **Improve with AI** helps when a message is too long or unclear. It can tidy the wording, shorten the text so it fits into fewer SMS, and rewrite it in basic letters with no emoji. You see the suggestion before it replaces your text. ## What was sent stays with the order Once sent, the message appears under **Sent from this order**: when it went out, who sent it, the text, the number of SMS and the result for each recipient. The same entry shows up on the order's Communication and History tabs, alongside chat messages and emails. A colleague who opens the order later can read it without having to ask. Messages that are not about a specific order have their own place too. On the module's page you pick a contractor or an employee, or type a number, and a list shows every SMS sent from your company. ## How to switch it on SMS is a free module in the LiteTMS [module marketplace](/en/blog/module-marketplace-built-from-company-feedback). Once it is active, the SMS tab appears in orders for users with permission to send. You pay only for the SMS you actually send, at the rate shown in your billing panel. Want to see it on a job like yours? [Contact us](/en/contact) and bring an order with a subcontracted leg. We will show you who can receive a message from it and what it would cost. ## FAQ ### Does the recipient need the LiteTMS Mobile app to receive the SMS? No. The message is an ordinary SMS sent to a phone number, so it goes to any phone that can receive text messages. Your own drivers can keep using the company chat in LiteTMS Mobile. ### How much does sending an SMS from LiteTMS cost? The module itself is free. Each SMS sent is charged at the standard rate shown in your billing panel, and a long message counts as several SMS for every recipient. The summary shows the SMS total and the rate before you send. ### Why does a message with Polish or Cyrillic letters use more SMS? Letters outside the standard SMS alphabet, such as ą, ę, ł or any Cyrillic letter, switch the SMS to a format that holds 70 characters instead of 160. The Send with basic letters only (é → e, ł → l, ü → u) switch turns special letters from any language into basic ones, writes other alphabets in Latin letters and shows how many SMS that saves. ### Can I send one SMS to several drivers at once? Yes. You can select up to 20 numbers for one message, for example with the All drivers button. Each recipient gets a separate SMS, and each one counts towards the total. ### Can I see whether the SMS was delivered? You see whether the message was sent to each number, both in the order and on the module page. The module does not show delivery reports from mobile operators. --- # More realistic ETA. Parking with TRAVIS comes next > LiteTMS now includes breaks and rests in an order route plan for a more realistic ETA. Work is also starting on route-based parking booking with TRAVIS. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/transport-order-eta-breaks-parking - Published: 2026-09-21 - Category: Product updates - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/transport-order-eta-breaks-parking.en.md A transport order in LiteTMS can now hold a route plan that includes the driver's planned breaks and rests. This makes the estimated time of arrival (ETA) more realistic because the schedule includes more than driving time alone. We are also starting work on a TRAVIS integration. The goal is to let the office book parking that fits the route directly from the order. ## The order now shows more than addresses The order preview keeps loading and unloading points, time windows, cargo and driver notes on the left. The map and the driver's day plan sit beside them. A dispatcher can compare the route with the requirements at each stop without moving between several screens. The plan can start from a chosen date and time and take account of the driver's current day, service time at each stop and a time buffer. LiteTMS can insert breaks and rests automatically. When a different arrangement is needed, the dispatcher can add a break or rest manually at a selected place in the schedule. The result brings the driving sections, stop service, breaks, rests and expected route end onto one timeline. It is saved with the order, so a colleague taking over the job sees the same planning assumptions. ## ETA improves when the whole driving day is in the plan Route length alone does not answer when the truck will arrive. The driver may already have worked part of the day, a break may fall between two stops, and loading or unloading also takes time. Leave one of those elements out and the planned arrival moves away from the working day it is meant to describe. The order plan places those elements on the same timeline. There is no need to add pauses in a separate spreadsheet or keep a second calculation on the side. When the start time, the driver's current state or the expected service time changes, the schedule can be calculated again. ETA is still an estimate. Traffic, the actual duration of loading and unloading, and events on the road can all change the arrival time. What the plan provides is a better operating reference than adding up driving minutes alone. ## The next step is parking that fits the route A longer trip needs more than a time reserved for rest. The driver also needs a suitable place to take it. Today, parking search and booking usually happen outside the order even though LiteTMS already holds its route and schedule. We are starting work on an integration with TRAVIS. The intended flow is straightforward: find parking that fits the route and book it from the transport order without entering the same transport context again. This is a development direction, not a released feature. TRAVIS parking booking is not yet available inside an order, and we are not announcing a launch date. We will share progress as the work moves through its next stages. ## We are building the order around the real job A transport order should connect the initial plan with the decisions a driver and the office need on the road. Break and rest planning is available now. Parking booking through TRAVIS is intended to become the next part of that same workflow. Would you like to see the route plan on a representative transport order? [Contact us](/en/contact) and bring a route similar to those your team handles every day. ## FAQ ### Does LiteTMS include breaks and rests in route planning? Yes. The route plan inside an order can insert breaks and rests automatically, or a dispatcher can add them manually at a selected place in the schedule. ### Is the ETA in an order a guaranteed arrival time? No. It is a planning estimate based on the route and the inputs provided, including the start time, the driver's current day, breaks, rests, time buffer and service time at stops. Actual conditions can shift the arrival time. ### Can I already book TRAVIS parking from an order? Not yet. We are starting work on an integration intended to find and book parking that fits the route from the transport order. We are not announcing a release date at this stage. ### Is the driver's break plan saved with the order? Yes. A saved route retains the driver plan settings, so the schedule can be restored and recalculated when the order is opened again. --- # Vehicle inspections: your questions, the driver's language > Build custom vehicle checks, handover reports and loading checklists in LiteTMS, with photos, recurring tasks and AI translation into 41 languages. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/vehicle-inspections-custom-protocols - Published: 2026-09-18 - Category: Product updates - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/vehicle-inspections-custom-protocols.en.md The Vehicle Protocols & Inspections module lets you create your own forms for drivers to complete in LiteTMS Mobile. A weekly vehicle check, a truck or trailer handover, a checklist for loading: you decide what to ask and what evidence to collect. AI translation can prepare the form in any of the 41 languages available in LiteTMS, with the target language enabled for your company. A request to “check the vehicle” leaves a lot open. Does that include the cab, the trailer, the equipment or photos of existing damage? A form turns that request into specific questions the driver can work through, in a language they understand. ## Start with what your company needs to know You build the form around your own procedure. Write the questions, arrange them into sections and choose which answers are required. A short condition check can stay short; a detailed handover can ask for more evidence. The available fields include choice questions, short and longer text answers, numbers, dates, photos, signatures and damage checklists. Instruction blocks let you explain what to inspect before asking for an answer. The builder also shows a phone preview, so the office can see how the form will look to the driver. For example, a company could ask whether the vehicle has new visible damage, request a photo of an affected area, then leave space for a description. A different form could focus on equipment or the condition of the loading space. The questions and answer options belong to your procedure. ## A weekly record of the vehicle's condition Create a recurring inspection to ask drivers about the vehicle at regular intervals. A weekly schedule can cover cleanliness, equipment and newly noticed damage, using the same questions each time. The driver receives a pending protocol and completes it in LiteTMS Mobile. A damage checklist can collect notes and photos alongside the reported issue. The office can then review the completed report and the recorded damage history for the vehicle or trailer. This gives the next conversation a useful starting point: what was reported, when, and with which photos. It also helps separate a newly reported problem from damage already recorded. ## A handover form when the vehicle changes When one driver takes over a truck, a handover report can record its condition and equipment at that moment. You decide which questions matter, whether photos are needed and whether to request a signature. With an active reassignment rule, a vehicle change recorded in the system can create a pending protocol automatically. Depending on the rule, it can be assigned to the incoming driver, the previous driver when identified, or both. Forms can also cover trailer handovers. For a trailer-only swap, assign the protocol from the office or let the driver start it, if that option is enabled on the template. The automatic reassignment trigger currently follows a change of vehicle. ## A checklist for loading, built around the job The same module can hold a checklist for the driver to complete during loading. For example, your procedure might ask for the condition of the loading space, a seal number, a photo or a note about a discrepancy. The office can assign the form, or a driver can start an allowed template when needed. That lets you use the same builder for recurring inspections and checks tied to a particular situation. Loading checklists do not have to use the same questions as a vehicle handover. ## Your questions in the driver's language A carefully written checklist only helps if its questions are understood. AI translation can translate the form's questions, instructions and answer options into the driver's chosen language, including the 41 languages available in LiteTMS. The target language must be enabled for the company when generating a new translation. For example, the office can prepare the procedure in Polish and provide a Romanian or Ukrainian version for drivers. The driver can read the questions without needing to speak the forwarder's language. Written responses can also be translated for the office. You can supply your own language versions, too. Review AI translations before relying on them for important instructions, particularly technical terms and anything affecting safety. Translation helps communicate the procedure; the company still decides what the procedure should say. ## Try one procedure first Start with a check your team already performs. Put its questions into a template, choose the required photos or answers, and decide whether the office assigns it, drivers start it themselves or a recurring rule creates it. Then review the phone preview and prepare the languages your team needs. Vehicle Protocols & Inspections is an optional module. Access requires activation and appropriate permissions; AI translation follows the company's configuration and usage limits and may incur charges. Have a paper form you would like to use in the app? [Contact us about a LiteTMS demonstration](/en/contact) and bring it along. It is a good place to start. ## FAQ ### Can I create a vehicle inspection form with my own questions? Yes. You can define sections, questions, answer options and required fields, including photos, signatures and damage checklists. Drivers complete the forms in LiteTMS Mobile. ### Can drivers receive a vehicle check every week? Yes. An active recurring rule can create pending protocols on a weekly schedule. Daily and monthly schedules are also supported. ### Can a protocol appear automatically when a driver changes trucks? Yes, with a configured reassignment rule and a vehicle change recorded in the system. A trailer-only change uses a manually assigned or driver-started protocol rather than that automatic trigger. ### Can the driver read a protocol in a different language from the office? Yes. AI translation supports the 41 languages available in LiteTMS, with new translations limited to languages enabled for the company. You can also prepare your own language versions, and important AI-translated instructions should be reviewed. --- # Jev: exploring faster AI decisions in transport > What Jev does, where it could help a transport office, and why LiteTMS is already testing scenarios for a smarter, more useful business system. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/jev-ai-decisions-transport - Published: 2026-09-17, updated 2026-09-25 - Category: Technology - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/jev-ai-decisions-transport.en.md > **Update, 25 September 2026:** Since publishing this article, we've implemented Jev in several LiteTMS workflows. Read [Jev AI in LiteTMS: where we've put it to work](/en/blog/where-jev-helps-in-litetms) for practical examples involving driver messages, place names, data imports and chat translation, plus a technical look with JSON and Java. Jev is a new development in AI with a different purpose from the tools many people first encounter. In a chat with an AI assistant, you ask a question and get a written answer, or ask for help drafting an email. Behind that text is a large language model, often shortened to LLM. Jev, introduced by TypeSafe AI, is designed to make quick, narrowly defined decisions inside software rather than generate text. For a transport business, that could mean helping a system recognize which message needs attention or which case should go to a person. At LiteTMS, we are already testing different scenarios to see where this approach could make our transport management system more useful in everyday work. ## What Jev does, in plain language Think of a sorting desk. Information arrives, and the software needs to decide where it belongs. Jev receives that information and answers questions with predefined options, scores or yes/no probabilities. It does not write a conversation or compose an email. [LangChain's introduction](https://www.langchain.com/blog/building-a-harness-with-jev?utm_source=litetms.eu) explains this distinction and shows how Jev can work alongside models that generate text. Here is an illustrative transport example: a driver writes, “Still at the warehouse. They won't start loading until tomorrow.” A system could ask whether the message describes a delay and whether it needs the dispatcher's attention. Jev would supply an assessment; the surrounding software would determine what to do with it. [TypeSafe calls this a System One model](https://typesafe.ai/blog/introducing-system-one-models-and-jev?utm_source=litetms.eu): AI built for fast decisions that software can use directly. Jev is in early access. The appeal for us is the possibility of putting small, useful assessments into the flow of work without requiring someone to open another chat. ## Where it could help a transport office These are potential applications, not an announcement of released Jev features in LiteTMS. ### Bringing important messages forward A loading delay, a changed delivery address and a routine arrival confirmation need different responses. A model could help sort incoming messages by subject and urgency, bringing likely problems to the office's attention. The useful test would be whether it catches important exceptions without filling the screen with unnecessary alerts. ### Spotting cases that need clarification Suppose an order contains a morning unloading window, while a later customer message mentions the afternoon. An assessment could flag a possible conflict for review. It should point the dispatcher back to the relevant information, leaving the agreed delivery time unchanged until someone checks it. ### Directing paperwork to the right person Once document text has been read by a separate tool, Jev could help categorize its contents: a delivery confirmation, a query about a charge, or a complaint. That might help direct work to operations or administration. Reading a scanned page and deciding where its contents belong are separate steps; this example concerns the second. ### Choosing when a person should take over Some requests have a clear next step. Others contain incomplete information or concern a disputed cost. A system could use an assessment to suggest the appropriate handling path, including human review. A useful design would make uncertain cases easy to find and correct. ## Fast answers still need checking [TypeSafe reports speed and cost advantages](https://typesafe.ai/blog/introducing-system-one-models-and-jev?utm_source=litetms.eu) on suitable tasks. Those vendor evaluations do not establish a transport company's gains. A guaranteed answer format is also different from a correct decision: the model can still choose the wrong option. For our proposed transport scenarios, that means checking missed delays, unnecessary escalations and ambiguous messages, alongside response time. We would also need to assess how much context each decision requires. “Tomorrow” means little if the system lacks the message date. ## Why we are testing Jev at LiteTMS We stay up to date with new technology and are already testing various scenarios where Jev could help make LiteTMS smarter and more useful for businesses. The examples above describe directions worth exploring; they are not a list of completed integrations or measured results. Our aim is practical: help the office notice what matters and spend less effort sorting information before it can act. Any application needs to earn its place through useful results, clear limits and a straightforward way for a person to intervene. We will share concrete findings as this work develops. ## Sources - [TypeSafe AI: Introducing System One Models & Jev](https://typesafe.ai/blog/introducing-system-one-models-and-jev?utm_source=litetms.eu) - [LangChain: Building a Harness with Jev](https://www.langchain.com/blog/building-a-harness-with-jev?utm_source=litetms.eu) - [Flavio Copes: A deep dive into Jev, TypeSafe's System One model](https://flaviocopes.com/jev/?utm_source=litetms.eu) - [heise online: AI model “Jev” to make machines decide faster](https://www.heise.de/en/news/AI-model-Jev-to-make-machines-decide-faster-11457071.html?utm_source=litetms.eu) ## FAQ ### What could Jev do for a transport company? Potential uses include sorting messages, flagging possible conflicts in order information and directing cases to the right person. These are scenarios to evaluate, not guaranteed outcomes. ### Is Jev already available as a LiteTMS feature? We are testing possible applications. This article does not announce a customer release or a deployment date. ### Would Jev make decisions instead of a dispatcher? The scenarios described here would support the dispatcher's work by highlighting information and suggesting how to handle it. Changes to operational commitments would need appropriate checks and human control. --- # Switching TMS: import your records and export them when you need > Import company records into LiteTMS from CSV or XLSX and request a protected export archive. Start with your existing data and no minimum commitment. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/tms-data-import-export-freedom-to-switch - Published: 2026-09-16 - Category: Product updates - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/tms-data-import-export-freedom-to-switch.en.md You can start switching to LiteTMS by importing employee, vehicle, trailer and contractor records from a CSV or XLSX file. Match the columns, review the data and confirm the import. You can also request an export of those records as a protected archive from settings, so you can bring your data in and take it with you when needed. ## Trying another TMS shouldn't mean retyping your records You might want to try a different system while your existing TMS already holds your fleet and contractor records. Opening a new account is the easy part. Entering those details again is the work you want to avoid. We built the file importer to help with that first step. If your current system exports the supported records to CSV or XLSX, you can use that file to populate LiteTMS. The scope depends on the fields available for the record type you select. The importer checks those fields before saving them. You can start with one set of records and check the result before moving more. That gives you a way to try the import without changing how the whole company works at once. ## Upload a file, then choose where its columns go In settings, open Data import and choose Import from file. Upload a CSV or XLSX file and select the type of records you want to add. Next, match the spreadsheet columns to LiteTMS fields. A column containing vehicle registration numbers, for example, belongs in the registration number field. Your old system's column headings don't have to match ours. Before you save anything, the preview shows which rows are ready and which will be skipped. You can review errors and duplicates, then confirm the import to add valid records. ## You can stop after a month LiteTMS has no minimum term or requirement to commit for years. If you decide to stop after a month, we don't add a fee for leaving. You still pay for the use you've already incurred. Charges reflect the resources and services you use. The panel shows rates and usage before they reach an invoice. Orders and contractors are free and unlimited. ## Your company should be able to take its data elsewhere We believe a company should be able to choose another TMS without having to fight for its own records. That's why settings now includes an option to request a data export alongside the import tools. Choose the employee, vehicle, trailer or contractor records you want to export. You can include associated files as well. The records are organised into CSV files inside a ZIP archive protected by a password you set when making the request. We confirm the request by phone before preparing the archive, to protect company data from an unauthorised download. A larger export can take several hours to prepare. Once ready and released, the archive is available to download from the panel. ## Planned next: automatic imports from selected TMS platforms You can already submit a request for our team to help migrate data from another TMS. That form starts a migration request. We plan to extend this with an automatic importer for selected systems. The intended flow is to enter your login details, select the records you want to transfer and start the import in a few clicks. For now, start by checking whether your current system can export one of the supported record types as CSV or XLSX. You can use that file to work through the importer and review the result in LiteTMS. ## FAQ ### What can I import into LiteTMS from a spreadsheet? The CSV/XLSX importer in settings supports employee, vehicle, trailer and contractor records. Match columns to the available fields, review the preview and confirm to save valid records. ### Can I stop using LiteTMS after one month? Yes. There is no minimum term or fee for leaving. You pay for the resources and services you use. ### How do I export my company data from LiteTMS? Request an export in settings, choose the supported records and any associated files, and set an archive password. After confirming the request by phone, we prepare a ZIP archive with structured data and make it available to download from the panel. ### Can I already log into another TMS and import automatically? Automatic imports with scope selection for selected TMS platforms are planned. Today, you can import CSV/XLSX files yourself or submit a migration request to the LiteTMS team. --- # A driver app translator for conversations at loading sites > Type or speak a message in LiteTMS Mobile. The other person reads the translation on their half of the screen, with voice playback available too. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/driver-translator-loading-conversations - Published: 2026-09-14, updated 2026-09-28 - Category: Product updates - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/driver-translator-loading-conversations.en.md The translator in LiteTMS Mobile helps drivers talk to warehouse staff when they don't share a language. Drivers can type or record a message, and the translation appears on the other person's half of the screen, rotated so they can read it from across the phone. Voice playback is also available when enabled for the driver. ## Asking where to collect the paperwork The screenshot shows a driver asking, in Polish, which room to go to for the documents. The person opposite sees the question in English. It's the kind of short conversation a driver needs to have before leaving a loading site. We built the translator tab around that exchange. Choose a language for each person, then type and send a question or record it using the microphone. Once translated, the message appears on the recipient's side in their chosen language. ## A screen you can read from both sides The driver uses the bottom half of the screen. The top half faces the other person, rotated by 180 degrees. That layout lets a phone stay on the counter between two people. The driver can use their controls while the warehouse worker reads the translation the right way up. There's no need to turn the phone around after every message. The same layout keeps the reply within reach. The other person has a microphone on their half of the screen, so they can record an answer in their own language. Its translation then appears on the driver's side. ## Listening to a translated message When voice playback is enabled, the speaker button next to a translation reads it aloud in the recipient's language. Someone who would prefer to hear the question can listen to it while the text stays on screen. Both people use the driver's phone throughout the conversation. The warehouse worker can read the translated question and reply using the microphone on the side facing them. ## Starting a conversation in LiteTMS Mobile Open the translator and select the two languages. Type and send a message, or use the microphone to record it. Position the phone between you so the other person can read the upper half and reach their microphone to answer. The translator is a driver feature of LiteTMS Mobile, the company app for businesses that use LiteTMS. Access to the translator and voice playback depends on company settings and the driver's permissions. ## FAQ ### Can a driver speak instead of typing a message? Yes. The translator in LiteTMS Mobile accepts typed text and recorded speech. The translation appears after the text is sent or the recording is processed. ### Do I need to turn the phone around to show a translation? No. The top half of the translator screen is rotated by 180 degrees for the person opposite the driver. The driver uses the bottom half. ### Can the translator read a message aloud? Yes, when voice playback is enabled for the driver. The speaker button next to a translation plays it in the recipient's language. ### How does the other person reply? They record a reply using the microphone on their half of the screen. The translation appears on the driver's half, so both people can use the same phone. --- # Module marketplace: try what your company needs > Company conversations shape the LiteTMS module catalogue. Learn how trials and subscriptions work, and when to build your own forms with AI Builder. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/module-marketplace-built-from-company-feedback - Published: 2026-09-11 - Category: Product updates - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/module-marketplace-built-from-company-feedback.en.md The LiteTMS module marketplace lets you activate the features your company needs, try them in daily work and keep a subscription to the ones that fit. If a module isn't useful, you can cancel its renewal in the panel. Conversations with transport companies guide what we build next, while AI Builder lets you create your own forms and registers. ## Company conversations are shaping the catalogue Talking to transport companies has given us plenty to build. Each business has its own needs, and a conversation about daily work brings out details that a feature description can miss. Those conversations feed into our native LiteTMS modules. Our team builds them to work within the transport management system. Many are ready to use. Others are being tested, with releases planned soon. The screenshot shows the module marketplace tab, where you can browse the catalogue and choose what to activate in your workspace. Adding something to the catalogue doesn't mean every company needs to turn it on. You choose what is useful for your team. ## Try a module with your own work A description can help you decide whether a module is worth trying. Using it for actual tasks tells you whether it fits the way your team works. Activate a module and use its available trial. The panel shows the trial duration and subscription price. If the module earns its place, leave it active: the trial automatically converts to a paid subscription. If it doesn't fit, cancel the renewal in the panel before the trial ends to avoid starting a paid period. For an already paid subscription, cancellation leaves access in place until the current period ends and stops the next renewal. It does not refund the period that has already started. You can make that same decision later if your company's needs change. The option to cancel remains in the panel. ## Build your own forms with AI Builder Some requirements come down to the information you need to record and the fields your team needs on a form. An employee expense register, for example, may need to match your company's reimbursement process. AI Builder gives you a way to handle that yourself. Describe the form or register, review the proposed layout and adjust its fields. You can do this without asking our team to build that module for you. This covers many everyday record-keeping needs. What you can build depends on the available components and your requirements. AI generation is a metered service, with its rate and usage shown in the panel before invoicing. Our [article on creating custom tabs with AI](/en/blog/ai-builder-custom-dispatch-tabs) walks through the editing process. If you already use LiteTMS, open the module marketplace to see which modules would help with your work. ## FAQ ### Who builds the native modules in the LiteTMS marketplace? The LiteTMS team builds the native modules. Conversations with companies guide the catalogue; many modules are ready, and more are being tested before release. ### Does a module trial automatically become a paid subscription? Yes. Unless you cancel renewal before the trial ends, it converts to a paid subscription. You can check the trial end date and price in the panel. ### What happens when I cancel a module? Cancellation stops the next renewal. Access remains until the trial or current paid period ends, and cancellation does not refund a period that has already started. ### Can I build a module myself? Yes. AI Builder lets you create forms and registers from available components and adjust their fields. You can do this without commissioning the LiteTMS team to build the module. --- # Day three at TransLogistica Romania. Updates coming tomorrow > Your feedback from TransLogistica Romania is already with our team in Poland. On September 11, we'll show what we've been working on during the event. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/translogistica-romania-2026-day-three-feedback - Published: 2026-09-10 - Category: News - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/translogistica-romania-2026-day-three-feedback.en.md *AI-assisted edit: based on a real photograph from the exhibition. Human figures with a long-exposure effect were added using AI.* We're starting the third and final day of TransLogistica Romania in Bucharest. You've shared plenty of feedback on LiteTMS, and we've been passing it straight to our team in Poland. Tomorrow, September 11, we'll show you the updates we've been working on throughout the exhibition. ## Thank you for making time to talk The exhibition isn't over yet, but we're already glad we took part. Thank you to the organisers for putting together such a well-run event, and to everyone who stopped by our stand. In our [first-day post](/en/blog/litetms-arrived-translogistica-romania-2026), we invited you to see LiteTMS and tell us honestly what you thought. You've given us a lot to work with. Hearing what you need in your daily transport operations has brought us specific ideas for improving our transport management system. ## Our team in Poland has been working with your feedback We've been sharing your comments with the team in Poland as they came in. Together, we've been discussing the ideas and how to turn them into changes in LiteTMS. While we were talking with visitors in Bucharest, development continued back home. That's how we build LiteTMS: we listen to customers, work through their suggestions as a team and implement changes that help with everyday work. We started reviewing the feedback during the exhibition, without waiting for the trip home. ## Tomorrow, we'll show you what we've been working on On September 11, we'll share the updates our team has been working on throughout the event. We're looking forward to showing you the results so soon after these conversations. Today, there's still time to meet. The [organiser's visitor information](https://translogistica.ro/en/practical-info/) lists opening hours of 10:00 to 15:00 on September 10, the final day at ROMEXPO in Bucharest. If you're here, come over, take a look at LiteTMS and tell us what you think. ## FAQ ### Can I still meet LiteTMS at the exhibition on September 10? Yes. September 10, 2026, is the third and final day of TransLogistica Romania at ROMEXPO in Bucharest. Visitor opening hours are 10:00 to 15:00 that day. ### What happens to the feedback collected at the exhibition? We're passing it to our team in Poland as it comes in and discussing ideas for changes to LiteTMS together. Work on the system has continued throughout the exhibition. ### When will LiteTMS show the announced updates? On September 11, 2026, we'll show the updates our team has been working on during TransLogistica Romania. --- # We've arrived at TransLogistica Romania. Come meet LiteTMS > We're in Bucharest for TransLogistica Romania from September 8 to 10. Come see LiteTMS in person, ask questions and tell us what you think. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/litetms-arrived-translogistica-romania-2026 - Published: 2026-09-08 - Category: News - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/litetms-arrived-translogistica-romania-2026.en.md We're at TransLogistica Romania in Bucharest. From today, September 8, through September 10, you can meet us at ROMEXPO, see our transport management system LiteTMS in person and tell us what you think. ## Come over and take a look When we [announced our trip](/en/blog/litetms-at-translogistica-romania-2026), we wrote about wanting to meet the people who organise transport every day. Now we're here, and we're excited to have three days to do exactly that. If you're visiting the exhibition, stop by. We'll show you LiteTMS and answer your questions. Bring a problem from your own operation, or just come and see what we've been working on. ## Tell us what needs work We're especially looking forward to honest feedback. Which parts make sense straight away? Where do you need an explanation? What's missing for the way your company works? These conversations help us understand what people need from a TMS in their daily work. A small comment about a single screen can point to something worth improving. We'd like to leave Bucharest with specific ideas that can help us make LiteTMS better. You don't need to prepare a list. Show us something that catches your attention during the demo, and we can talk it through together. ## Find us at ROMEXPO [TransLogistica Romania](https://translogistica.ro/en/) runs from September 8 to 10, 2026, at ROMEXPO in Bucharest. We'll be there for all three days. Look for the counter with the LiteTMS logo shown in the photo and come say hello. See you there! ## FAQ ### When can I meet LiteTMS at TransLogistica Romania? The LiteTMS team is at ROMEXPO in Bucharest from September 8 to 10, 2026. You can visit during the exhibition to see the system and talk to the team. ### Can I suggest improvements during the demo? Yes. We'd love to hear what your company needs and what you think could work better in LiteTMS. Questions and suggestions are welcome throughout the demo. --- # Offline maps: download before departure, keep them in reach > Download country maps in LiteTMS Mobile before departure and view them when mobile coverage drops. Here is how to prepare your phone for the journey. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/offline-country-maps-driver-app - Published: 2026-09-07, updated 2026-09-28 - Category: Product updates - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/offline-country-maps-driver-app.en.md LiteTMS Mobile lets you download country maps to your phone before you leave. If mobile coverage drops during the journey, you can still view the downloaded area. Prepare the maps while you have an internet connection and check that each download has finished. ## A parked truck, a map to check, and no signal You stop for a break and open the map to look at the area around your next delivery. There is no mobile connection. If the map still needs downloading, you have to wait for coverage before you can see it. Country downloads let you prepare for that moment. When the phone loses its connection, LiteTMS uses the downloaded map for the area you are viewing. You can inspect it without waiting for the network to return. For a transport company, this is a practical addition to departure checks. Drivers can download the maps themselves on the phones they use for work. ## Download the countries you will pass through Open the map settings in LiteTMS Mobile and select **Offline maps**. The screen has a country map and a searchable list. 1. Select a country on the map or find it in the list. 2. Choose **Download**. 3. Wait until its status reads **Downloaded**. 4. Repeat for the other countries on your journey. **Wi-Fi only** is enabled by default. You can prepare the phone using the depot's Wi-Fi without downloading large map files over mobile data. The screen also shows how much storage the downloaded maps use. Before leaving, check the completed status for each country. A download that has only started is not a map you can rely on having available yet. ## Include transit countries in your checks Maps are downloaded by country. If your journey runs through Poland and Germany to France, prepare all three maps if they are available in the app's catalogue. The country you pass through matters just as much as the destination. Downloading one country does not provide a map for the rest of the journey. This is worth checking when a driver takes an unfamiliar route or crosses a different border from usual. You can manage the files from the same screen. Remove a country map when you no longer need it, or download an update when the app shows one is available. That keeps the choice of what stays on the phone with the driver. ## What a downloaded map provides A country download keeps that country's map available for viewing. Searching for new addresses and recalculating a route require an internet connection. Getting current company data and delivering changes to the office also require connectivity. The map stored on your phone gives you something useful to view while coverage is missing. Current information still comes through the network. For more about the planned route itself, see [how the dispatcher's route appears in the driver app](/en/blog/planned-route-driver-mobile-app). Before your next departure, open the country list and check the maps along your route. Once those downloads are complete, losing mobile coverage does not mean losing access to those maps. ## FAQ ### Can I view maps in LiteTMS Mobile without mobile coverage? Yes. Country maps downloaded to the phone remain available for viewing when the connection drops. Each download must finish before you lose coverage. ### Where do I download a country map? Open the map settings and choose Offline maps. Select a country from the map or list, choose Download, and wait for its status to read Downloaded. ### Do I need a map for every country on the journey? To view maps without coverage throughout the journey, download each country you will pass through that is available in the catalogue. Include transit countries as well as your destination. ### Can a downloaded map recalculate my route without internet? No. It provides a map of the downloaded area for viewing. Route recalculation and new address searches require an internet connection. --- # When a list is not enough: the new LiteTMS orders map > The new LiteTMS orders map shows routes, stops and orders for a selected day in one view, with a searchable list and practical filters. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/orders-map-all-routes-one-view - Published: 2026-09-03 - Category: Product updates - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/orders-map-all-routes-one-view.en.md The new LiteTMS orders map puts orders, stops and routes from a selected period on one screen. A dispatcher gets a searchable order list beside the map and can see where the day's work is going without opening every order separately. ## Monday, 7:15 The order list looks fine. One load is heading to Rotterdam, another to Vienna, and the next ends near Bucharest. Statuses are current, drivers are assigned and every deadline is visible. But the dispatcher still cannot answer a simple question: how do these routes fit together geographically? Will two trucks pass through the same area today? Which order ends close to the next pickup? Does a route avoid a stop that looked nearby in the list? Rows are good at describing one order. They do not show the shape of the whole day. That is the morning the new orders map was built for. ## Every route in one view The map collects visible orders from the selected period and gives each route its own colour. Loading and unloading stops use different markers, while nearby points are grouped so the map remains readable when the day gets busy. The list beside it shows the order number, contractor, time window, driver and vehicle. Clicking a card or a point highlights that order's route. When the dispatcher needs the full record, the order opens directly from the same view. For one-day and seven-day windows, LiteTMS draws the saved planned route. If an order does not have a calculated route yet, the map connects its stops so the dispatcher can still see where the work is taking place. ## The list and map answer different questions The list remains the quickest place to check an order number, status or contractor. The map takes over when the question begins with "where" or "which way". That is why the two views work together. Search by order number, customer, driver or vehicle. Narrow the map by status, vehicle group or orders that still have no assignment. Users with GPS permission can also add current vehicle positions. Planned routes and the live fleet then sit in the same view, with no need to jump between separate screens. ## A day, a week or the whole month The map opens on the current day because that is usually what dispatch needs first thing in the morning. The window can be changed to seven, 14 or 31 days, with controls for moving through consecutive periods just like the orders calendar. Status filters and search results update both the list and the map. A dispatcher can start with every order, then keep only work in progress or orders that still need a vehicle. An order without coordinates does not quietly disappear. It remains in the list with a clear note that it cannot be plotted yet. The team immediately knows which stop location needs attention. ## A working view, not a route presentation Coloured lines look good in a screenshot, but their job is to help dispatch make a decision. The map shortens the path from a geographical question to the right order. When someone calls about a route through Germany, the dispatcher no longer needs to open several records one by one. They can scan the routes, select the right card and move straight to the details. You will find the map inside **Orders**, under the **Map** button. [Join the early-access waitlist](/en/#waitlist) if you would like to try this view with your company's work. ## FAQ ### What does the LiteTMS orders map show? The map shows orders from a selected period, their geographical stops and their route lines. A list beside it provides key details about each order, driver and vehicle. ### Can I see several routes on the map at once? Yes. Each order uses its own colour, allowing dispatchers to compare several routes on one screen and highlight a selected route with a click. ### Which filters are available on the orders map? The view can be filtered by date, status, vehicle group and unassigned orders. Search finds orders by number, contractor, driver or vehicle. ### Does the map show vehicle positions? Yes, for users with GPS viewing permission. Live fleet positions can be enabled as an additional layer beside order routes and stops. --- # Meet LiteTMS at TransLogistica Romania 2026 > Meet LiteTMS at TransLogistica Romania in Bucharest from 8 to 10 September, our major stop before TransLogistica Poland in November. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/litetms-at-translogistica-romania-2026 - Published: 2026-09-01 - Category: News - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/litetms-at-translogistica-romania-2026.en.md The LiteTMS team will be at TransLogistica Romania in Bucharest from 8 to 10 September 2026. We will meet the industry at ROMEXPO, opening an important autumn of trade events before TransLogistica Poland in Warsaw this November. ## Bucharest comes first [TransLogistica Romania 2026](https://translogistica.ro/en/) runs from 8 to 10 September at ROMEXPO, Marasti Blvd. 65-67 in Bucharest. This will be the fifth edition of the International Transport and Logistics Exhibition. For us, it is a chance to step away from the screen and talk to people who run transport every day. Company owners, forwarders, carriers and fleet managers all see parts of the job that software teams can easily miss. We want to hear where their time still disappears. The problem may start when an order arrives, during a call with a driver or while waiting for documents. Sometimes it only becomes visible when several spreadsheets stop showing the same version of the day. ## We are coming for real conversations We will talk about LiteTMS at the event, but practical stories from transport companies matter more. A useful system cannot be designed from a desk alone. It needs to understand the questions that reach a forwarding office at 7:00 in the morning and the problems a driver faces at a stop. We would especially like to talk about how companies can: - keep order information together instead of searching through several conversations, - give drivers statuses, tasks and documents in one place, - adapt a TMS to the way their own team works, - support an international workforce where each person uses their preferred language. If you already use a TMS, tell us what works and what still needs a phone call, a spreadsheet or a piece of paper. If you are looking for one, tell us what you have not found in the available systems. ## Bucharest before Warsaw TransLogistica Romania is a major event for us and an important step towards our next meeting in Poland. [TransLogistica Poland](https://translogistica.pl/en/) will take place from 3 to 5 November 2026 at EXPO XXI, Pradzynskiego 12/14 in Warsaw. Bucharest and Warsaw are different markets, but conversations at transport events often begin with the same questions. How can the office know the current order status? How can a delivery document return from the driver faster? Why pay for software that half the team avoids using? We want to leave Romania with notes that improve our conversations in Warsaw. Then we want those conversations to shape practical decisions inside LiteTMS. ## See you at ROMEXPO If you are visiting Bucharest from 8 to 10 September, make time for a conversation with the LiteTMS team. You can also email [contact@litetms.eu](mailto:contact@litetms.eu) in advance if you would like to arrange a meeting during the exhibition. Romania in September. Warsaw in November. We look forward to both. ## FAQ ### When is TransLogistica Romania 2026?

The wider list now covers both the web panel and the mobile app. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/41-interface-languages-web-mobile - Published: 2026-08-31 - Category: Product updates - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/41-interface-languages-web-mobile.en.md Four days after announcing 27 interface languages, LiteTMS already has 41. Conversations with contractors showed us which languages their teams actually needed, so an intense weekend turned that feedback into a wider web panel and mobile app. ## We did not expect to write this follow-up so soon A few days ago, [we published a post about 27 interface languages and chat translation into 184 languages](/en/blog/27-interface-languages-184-chat-translations). We expected that update to stand for a while. Then we spoke with contractors. They were not interested in how impressive 27 looked in a picker. They told us where their drivers came from, who their forwarding teams worked with and which languages people actually used to read instructions on the road. Those conversations gave us a clear list of what was missing. We could have put it on a future roadmap. Instead, we got to work. ## Fourteen more languages By the end of the weekend, the interface list had grown from 27 to 41. Alongside Polish, English, German, Ukrainian and Romanian, it now includes Chinese, Hindi, Japanese, Georgian and Azerbaijani. That matters because transport companies do not work only with contractors from Europe. Drivers come from many parts of the world too. A company can operate from Poland, handle work for a contractor in Asia and have a driver who understands instructions best in Hindi. That team should not need one shared language just to use its software. Every user can choose their own. ## This time the mobile app is included too Our previous post focused on the web panel and translated conversations. The new list of 41 now covers the full LiteTMS interface used for daily work, including the mobile app for drivers and forwarders. A forwarder can manage an order in Polish while the driver opens it in an app set to Ukrainian, Chinese or another preferred language. Menus, buttons, forms and messages follow the individual user. One person's choice does not change the language for everyone else at the company. This was the part that mattered most to us. A multilingual office panel is not much help if the driver leaves the office and lands back in a language they do not understand. ## Chat still translates into 184 languages The number 41 covers the interface of the web panel and mobile app. A separate list of 184 languages still handles translations of chat messages, company news and voice note transcripts. That means people can set the whole product to their own language and still translate a message that arrived from somewhere completely different. This update started with conversations. If a language that matters to your team is still missing, [tell us](/en/contact). Messages like that go straight into the work plan, sometimes as soon as the next weekend. ## FAQ ### How many interface languages does LiteTMS support? The LiteTMS web system supports 41 interface languages. The list includes European languages as well as Chinese, Hindi, Japanese, Georgian and Azerbaijani. ### Does the LiteTMS mobile app also support 41 languages? Yes. The mobile interface for drivers and forwarders is available in the same 41 languages, and each person chooses independently of the rest of the team. ### What is the difference between the 41 languages and 184 chat languages? The 41 languages cover interface elements such as menus, buttons, forms and messages. The 184-language list is used to translate content such as chat messages, company news and voice note transcripts. ### Does LiteTMS support languages from outside Europe? Yes. The list includes Chinese, Hindi and Japanese because European transport companies work with contractors and employees from around the world. --- # LiteTMS speaks 27 languages, and chat translates into 184 > The LiteTMS panel runs in 27 interface languages, and chat messages, company news and voice notes translate into any of 184 languages. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/27-interface-languages-184-chat-translations - Published: 2026-08-27, updated 2026-09-28 - Category: Product updates - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/27-interface-languages-184-chat-translations.en.md You can run the LiteTMS panel in 27 interface languages, and translate any chat message, company news post or voice note into any of 184 languages. Where the dispatcher is from and where the driver is from stops being a software question. ## Hire the driver, not the language A Polish forwarding office, drivers from Ukraine and Romania, a customer who writes in German. That mix is a normal Tuesday in EU transport. What is not normal is how much software still assumes everyone reads the same language, and how much time teams lose retyping messages into a translator app. LiteTMS treats the mix as the starting point. The interface follows the person, and the messages follow the reader. ## The panel in 27 languages English and Polish are written by our team. The other 25, from German and Ukrainian to Romanian and Georgian, are generated with AI and labeled in the switcher as automatic translations, so nobody has to guess which is which. And if a phrase is missing from a translation, the screen shows it in English instead of breaking. The switcher sits in the top bar and has its own search box, because scrolling through 27 entries to find Suomi is nobody's idea of a good morning. ## Chat translates itself Every chat message can be translated on the spot into the language you pick. With automatic translation switched on, it goes further: messages translate on open into the languages each dispatcher declared on their profile, so the thread simply reads in your language. A finished translation is stored and shared. Once a message exists in Romanian, the next person who opens it in Romanian gets the stored version, with no second run. The same translation tools work in the chat window and in the conversation feed on the order, and the dispatcher's mobile chat view is covered in [its own post](/en/blog/dispatcher-chat-mobile-app). ## A voice note becomes text Drivers on the road prefer talking to typing, and they are right to. A voice note sent in chat is transcribed automatically, and the transcript translates like any other message. The dispatcher reads in Polish what the driver said in Romanian, without replaying a recording over cab noise three times. ## Drivers pick from the full list In the LiteTMS Mobile app, chat messages, voice transcripts and company news translate into any of the 184 languages on the list. The driver's own languages sit at the top as favorites and drive the automatic translation, but the picker stays open and searchable, so a one-off message in an unusual language is two taps away. Company news can also carry translations written by the office. Those show as authored, and reading them costs nothing. ## What it costs Interface languages are part of the system. Chat translation and voice transcription use AI, and AI usage is a metered service: the rate and your current usage are visible in the panel before anything reaches an invoice. Orders and contractors stay free and unlimited, whatever language they arrive in. [Register your company free](/en/register) and let the team write in the languages they actually speak. ## FAQ ### How many languages does the LiteTMS interface support? 27. English and Polish are written by the LiteTMS team, and the other 25 are AI-generated translations labeled as automatic in the language switcher. A phrase missing from a translation is shown in English, so the screen always works. ### Which languages can chat messages be translated into? Any of the 184 languages on the list, in the web panel and in the LiteTMS Mobile app. With automatic translation on, messages translate on open into the languages each user declared, and a stored translation is reused instead of being generated again. ### Are voice notes transcribed automatically? Yes. A voice note sent in LiteTMS chat gets an automatic transcript, and the transcript can be translated into any language on the list, just like a typed message. ### Do translations cost extra? Interface languages are included. Chat translation and voice transcription are AI features billed by usage, and the panel shows the rate and your usage before anything is invoiced. --- # Route geofencing: off-route alerts and the extra kilometers, counted > LiteTMS draws a corridor around the planned route, alerts you when a vehicle leaves it, counts the extra kilometers on return, and shows each event on the map. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/route-corridor-alerts-extra-kilometers - Published: 2026-08-25 - Category: Product updates - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/route-corridor-alerts-extra-kilometers.en.md Every order in LiteTMS can have a corridor drawn around its planned route. When the vehicle leaves it, the right people get an alert. When it comes back, the order's activity log records the return along with the extra kilometers driven, and one click shows the exact spot on the map. ## The route came out longer. But why? You know the conversation. The fuel receipt doesn't match the plan, the customer asks why the truck arrived late, and the driver says he "had to go around". Maybe he did. But how long that detour was, and which way it went, is usually gone for good. The GPS positions exist somewhere. Nobody is going to replay a whole day of driving point by point a week later. LiteTMS does it as the truck drives, on every order, without anyone watching a map. ## You set the corridor once, on the order Each order has a Geofencing tab. It shows the planned route with a band around it, and you set the band's width in meters: one value for the whole order, or a different one per leg. Keep it tight on a fixed lane, give it room where the driver has a real choice of roads. Every loading and unloading point gets its own circle too, so the system records on its own when the truck arrived and when it left. The default corridor width and the default alert rules live in your company settings. Every new order inherits them, so nobody has to remember anything. ## Off route: a message to the right person The system compares positions from your connected GPS against the corridor roughly every minute. When the vehicle moves outside the band, your alert rules fire, and you decide what happens at what distance. Thresholds can step up. For example: an in-app notification on any exit, an email once the truck is 500 meters out, an SMS at a kilometer. A small shortcut wakes nobody, a serious deviation reaches whoever should know. Each rule has its own recipients, picked by person or by role, such as all dispatchers. A rule fires once per deviation. You won't get ten copies of the same message because the driver ran parallel to the route for half an hour. ## The return: extra kilometers, counted Here is the part that's usually missing. When the vehicle comes back inside the corridor, the order's activity log gets an entry that reads "Vehicle back in the route corridor", with the detour next to it, for example "Detour +12.4 km". That is the distance driven between leaving the route and returning, taken from the vehicle's mileage counter when the telematics sends one, or from the length of the GPS track when it doesn't. It changes the conversation about a long route. Not "I think you went the long way", but: left the route at 14:32, back at 15:10, 12 kilometers extra. Sometimes the explanation is simple, roadworks or an accident. Either way you have a number, not an impression. ## Every event, visible on the map Each entry has a "Show on map" button. The map flies to the exact spot, so you see where the driver left the route and where he rejoined it. And if you're watching the trip playback on the order overview, the map jumps straight to that moment. Entries for arriving at and leaving each stop work the same way. The whole story of the trip, detours and stops included, stays on the order and reads just as easily a week later. ## What it needs to work The corridor watches itself on one condition: vehicle positions have to reach LiteTMS from connected telematics. If your fleet already has GPS, you connect it and the monitoring starts. SMS and email alerts are billed like any other message sent from LiteTMS, and you see the rates and your usage in the panel before anything reaches the bill. Watching places rather than routes? That's what zones are for: [an alert when a vehicle enters or leaves a zone](/en/blog/geofencing-zone-entry-exit-alerts). [Register your company free](/en/register), set a corridor on your first order, and find out what the detours in your fleet really add up to. ## FAQ ### How does the system know a driver left the route? LiteTMS compares positions from your connected GPS with a corridor drawn around the order's planned route, roughly every minute. When the vehicle is outside the corridor, the alert rules you configured fire. ### How are the extra kilometers calculated? When the vehicle returns to the corridor, LiteTMS measures the distance driven between leaving and returning: from the mileage counter reported by the telematics, or from the length of the GPS track for that period when no counter is available. The result appears in the order's activity log. ### Can I get an SMS when a truck goes off route? Yes. Each alert rule has a channel (in-app notification, email, or SMS), a distance threshold, and its own recipients. Thresholds can step up, for example a notification on any exit and an SMS only once the vehicle is a kilometer out. ### Do I have to configure the corridor on every order? No. The default corridor width and the default alert rules are set once in your company settings, and every new order inherits them. On a specific order you can change them, including a different width per leg of the route. --- # Geofencing: get an alert when a vehicle enters or leaves a zone > LiteTMS Geofencing draws zones around customers, depots and restricted sites, then sends an SMS, email or in-app alert when a vehicle enters or leaves. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/geofencing-zone-entry-exit-alerts - Published: 2026-08-21 - Category: Product updates - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/geofencing-zone-entry-exit-alerts.en.md *AI-generated visualisation.* The Geofencing module in LiteTMS lets you mark a place on the map that matters to your business and get an SMS, an email or an in-app notification the moment a vehicle with connected GPS enters that zone or leaves it. You draw the zone once, pick who should know, and from then on nobody has to watch the map to find out that a truck has reached the customer. ## The question every dispatch office hears all day "Is he there yet?" It is probably the most common sentence a dispatcher hears. The customer asks, the forwarder asks, the owner asks. Answering usually means opening the map, finding the right vehicle and comparing its position with an address. With four trucks you can do it from memory. With twenty or forty, checking the map becomes the job. And yet the position is already in the system. The connected GPS sends it regularly. What is missing is someone who reads it at the right moment and tells the right person. That is exactly what Geofencing does. ## A zone is a circle or a polygon, drawn in a minute Open the module, type a customer's address or the name of a place, and you get a circle with the radius you choose. Match it to the site: a hundred-odd metres for a single ramp, more for a large logistics park. If the site has an awkward shape, click its corners one by one and you get a polygon. No extra map plug-ins. Every zone has a category: customer site, depot, restricted area, parking, service point, border crossing. You can add your own, say "Truck wash". The category keeps the event history tidy and tells two zones in the same place apart. A new zone is visible to the whole company. You can narrow it to selected people or roles and give them view or edit rights. Anyone outside that group will not even see that the zone exists. ## The alert: entry, exit, or both You add an alert rule to each zone. Pick what should trigger it: entry, exit or both. Then decide who gets the message and how: - an SMS to a phone number, for instance the shift manager or the customer, - an in-app notification for dispatchers in LiteTMS, - an email to a group of users or to an external address. An alert does not have to run around the clock. You can set a standing schedule for chosen weekdays and hours, in a time zone you pick. A truck entering the depot at three in the morning might need to wake the owner. The same entry at ten in the morning does not need to bother anyone. A rule can cover the whole fleet or only selected vehicles. An alert about reaching a particular customer should not fire for every truck that happens to pass by. You point it at the two tractors that serve that lane, and only they count for that rule. Before the rule goes live, click "Send test". You see who it reached, through which channel, and who was skipped because they have no phone number or no permission. You do not have to wait for a real crossing to discover a mistyped recipient. ## What the message actually says An alert without context is just noise. So every message carries the vehicle registration, the driver's name when one is assigned, the zone name, the event type and the time. If the vehicle is running an order in LiteTMS at that moment, the alert names the order as well. The in-app notification opens the zone on the map in one tap. Positions are checked roughly once a minute, so from crossing the boundary to the message takes about a minute, plus the short confirmation described below. ## How the module avoids false alarms Anyone who has worked with GPS knows that a position can "jump". The truck sits at the ramp and every other reading lands a few dozen metres away. If each of those twitches counted as an exit and an entry, the dispatcher's phone would never stop buzzing. So an event is confirmed only once the vehicle has held its new position for a moment. The default is two minutes, and for any zone you can shorten it, lengthen it or switch it off. A brief return inside that window cancels the pending event and nothing goes out. The start works the same way. When a new zone appears, the system first notes which vehicles are already standing in it. You do not get a flood of "entries" from trucks that have been waiting for loading since morning. Changing a zone's radius or shape is not treated as a crossing either. And when the depot is being resurfaced and everyone is driving in circles, you mute the rule for a day in one click, or pause all alerts for the zone until a date you choose. Crossings keep being recorded in the history; nobody gets messages about them. ## The history answers the questions that come back a week later Every confirmed entry and exit stays in the zone's history: which vehicle, which driver, when, under which order and how long the stop lasted. When a customer complains about a late delivery, you open the zone around their warehouse and read: entered at 8:42, left at 10:37. No need to call the driver and ask them to remember last Tuesday. The same data forms a zone visits report: each entry and exit pair on one row, with dwell time, filtered by zone, vehicle and date. Export it to CSV and attach it to the customer's settlement. The module also tells you plainly when it cannot watch a zone. If a vehicle has no fresh GPS position, you see that next to the zone instead of guessing from the silence. ## The one requirement: vehicles with a live GPS position Geofencing works on positions that already reach LiteTMS from connected GPS. If your fleet has telematics, connect it and the zones start working. Without a position there is nothing to compare, and the module says so honestly next to every zone. Geofencing is an add-on module with a trial period. Its price and your usage are visible in the panel before anything reaches the bill, and alert SMS and emails are metered like any other message sent from LiteTMS. [Register your company free](/en/register), draw the first zone around your most important customer and count how many "is he there yet?" calls disappear in the first week. ## FAQ ### Will I get an SMS when a vehicle enters a zone? Yes. On the alert rule you choose an SMS to a phone number, an in-app LiteTMS notification, or an email to a group of users or an external address. Channels can be combined in one rule. ### How fast does the alert arrive after entry? Positions are checked roughly once a minute and an event is confirmed after a short hold in the new state, two minutes by default. In practice the message arrives a few minutes after the boundary is crossed. ### Does the alert fire for every vehicle in the fleet? By default yes, but you can limit a rule to selected vehicles. A crossing by any other truck is then still recorded in the history, without sending a message. ### Does geofencing work without GPS in the vehicles? No. The module compares positions sent to LiteTMS from connected telematics with the zones you have drawn. Without a live position the zone is marked as not monitored. ### Can I switch alerts off for a while without deleting the rule? Yes. You can mute a rule for 24 hours in one click, and pause all alerts for a zone until a date you choose. Crossings keep being recorded in the history in the meantime. --- # The route dispatch plans is the route the driver sees > LiteTMS sends the saved route line and stop order from dispatch to the driver app, so both sides work from one plan instead of phone instructions. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/planned-route-driver-mobile-app - Published: 2026-08-18 - Category: Product updates - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/planned-route-driver-mobile-app.en.md In LiteTMS, the road line dispatch saves for an order is the road line the assigned driver sees in the mobile app. The stop sequence and the relevant route sections travel with the order, so the plan does not have to be rebuilt from a phone call, a screenshot or a separate map pin. ## A list of addresses is not a route plan Three stops in the right order still leave room for a dozen questions. Which road should the truck take between them? Which city should it avoid? Where did dispatch deliberately pull the line away from the route suggested first? That context is easy to lose when the office plans on one screen and then explains the result over the phone. The driver may receive the correct addresses and still leave with a different picture of the job. LiteTMS removes that second telling. Dispatch arranges the stops, calculates the road route and saves it with the order. The driver opens the Map tab in the mobile app and sees the saved line with the same numbered points. One plan. Two screens. ## The app reads the saved route instead of guessing again The distinction matters. The mobile app does not take the addresses and quietly invent another route merely to draw the map. It reads the calculated road sections stored on the order and renders those sections on the phone. If one driver handles the complete order, the app shows the complete planned route. When the job is divided between drivers, each person sees the sections assigned to them, taken from the same office plan. The distance and time shown on the map also refer to that driver's part of the work rather than somebody else's legs. This is the practical meaning of a one-to-one handoff: the line on the phone comes from the plan saved at the dispatch desk. ## A route correction no longer becomes a telephone game Plans change. A stop moves, its order changes or dispatch chooses another road. LiteTMS links the saved geometry to the current stop sequence, so an old line is not presented as if it still matched a changed order. Dispatch recalculates and saves the route once. After the mobile app synchronizes, the driver receives the current geometry. There is no need to send a new screenshot and then explain which part of the old message should be ignored. The same principle applies before a dead zone. Once the order and its route have been synchronized to the phone, the saved map remains available from the local cache. A later office change still needs a connection to reach the device, which is why the app also makes the age of synchronized route data visible. ## Navigation follows the plan without taking ownership of it The driver can start navigation from the order map. LiteTMS builds the trip from the current position through the remaining stops, while using the saved route line and its shaping points to keep the result faithful to the office plan. Live traffic can produce a small deviation in fresh turn-by-turn guidance. The planned line remains the shared reference on the order. Dispatch also controls whether the driver may request a temporary route straight to a selected destination. That option is off by default. When the office enables it, the result stays on the phone and never overwrites the route saved in LiteTMS. A driver can handle the road ahead without silently changing the plan for everyone else. ## Less interpretation means fewer avoidable mistakes Software cannot remove every surprise from a transport job. It can remove the unnecessary retelling. The dispatcher no longer has to describe a line that already exists on the screen. The driver does not have to decide which of several messages contains the latest instruction. Both sides can point at the same order, the same numbered stops and the same saved route. That is a small interface detail with an operational payoff: less room for misunderstanding before the truck moves. [Register your company free](/en/register) and send your next planned route straight to the driver's app. ## FAQ ### Does the driver see the same route that dispatch saved? Yes. The mobile app reads the calculated road sections stored with the order. A driver assigned to the whole job sees the whole plan, while a driver assigned to selected legs sees the corresponding sections from that plan. ### What happens when dispatch changes the route? The dispatcher recalculates and saves the route in the order. The mobile app receives the current saved geometry during synchronization and does not treat a route that no longer matches the stop sequence as current. ### Can the driver overwrite the dispatcher's route? No. Dispatch may allow a driver to request a temporary recalculation, but that result is not saved over the planned route. The office plan remains unchanged. ### Can the driver still view a synchronized route without a signal? Yes. Previously synchronized order details and planned geometry remain available in the phone's cache. New route changes from dispatch require a connection before they can reach the device. --- # All driver chats in one mobile view for dispatchers > LiteTMS gives dispatchers a mobile directory of driver chats, unread filters and push alerts, so messages do not wait for a return to the desk. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/dispatcher-chat-mobile-app - Published: 2026-08-14 - Category: Product updates - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/dispatcher-chat-mobile-app.en.md LiteTMS gives dispatchers a mobile directory of their driver conversations, with search, driver-group filters, unread counters and push alerts for new messages when notifications are enabled. A reply no longer has to wait until someone is back at the desk. ## The office chat should not end at the office door A dispatcher may spend most of the day at a large screen, but transport rarely respects that boundary. A driver sends an update while the dispatcher is checking a vehicle in the yard, walking between offices or dealing with something after hours. The message is small. Getting back to the right conversation should be small too. That is why the LiteTMS mobile app has a dispatcher mode. Its Chat tab opens a directory of drivers within the branch scope available to that user. The latest message and unread count sit beside each name, so the list tells you where attention is needed before you open a thread. ## Every permitted driver conversation is on one list The directory is built for a real fleet, not a short contact list. You can search by driver and narrow the view to selected driver groups. An unread filter leaves only conversations that still need a response. The same group selection also defines which drivers can trigger chat push notifications for that dispatcher. This matters when several people divide responsibility for the fleet. A person looking after one group does not need alerts from every other part of the operation, while someone with an unfiltered directory keeps the full branch-scoped view. The result is simple: the list on the phone and the notifications around it follow the same working scope. ## A new message can find the dispatcher With chat notifications enabled on the phone, a new driver message can produce a push alert. The dispatcher knows there is something new before opening the chat directory again. Unread counters still provide a second check inside the chat directory. If one notification is dismissed during a call, the conversation remains marked. Individual threads can also be muted when they should stay in the list without generating further alerts. Push does not replace the conversation history. It is the prompt that brings attention back to the company chat. ## Reply from the same company conversation Opening a driver from the directory brings up the shared LiteTMS thread. The dispatcher can read the history and answer from the phone. Photos, files and voice notes stay in the company conversation instead of being scattered across private messaging accounts. This is especially useful when the answer is short: confirm a change, ask for a document or acknowledge that the message arrived. Nobody has to remember to repeat that exchange in the TMS later, because it already happened there. The mobile app remains useful for drivers, but the same app also gives dispatchers a practical way to stay connected when they step away from the board. [Register your company free](/en/register) and keep driver conversations inside LiteTMS. ## FAQ ### Can a dispatcher access driver chats in the LiteTMS mobile app? Yes. In dispatcher mode, the Chat tab shows the driver directory available within that user's branch scope. The dispatcher can search the directory, open a thread, read its history and reply from the phone. ### Does the dispatcher receive a push notification for every message? Chat push alerts work when phone notifications are enabled. The selected driver-group scope and muted threads are respected, so alerts follow the conversations the dispatcher has chosen to monitor. ### Can a dispatcher show only unread conversations? Yes. The mobile chat directory includes an unread filter and unread counters beside driver conversations. A dismissed notification therefore does not remove the visual reminder inside the app. ### Are dispatcher and driver messages kept in the same conversation? Yes. The dispatcher opens the company thread for that driver and replies there. The conversation history remains in LiteTMS for the people who have access to it. --- # AI order import from documents is now part of LiteTMS > Upload a PDF, scan, Word file or email and LiteTMS prepares an order draft, matches your data and shows what to check before you create the order. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/ai-order-import-from-documents - Published: 2026-08-12, updated 2026-09-25 - Category: Product updates - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/ai-order-import-from-documents.en.md > **Update, 25 September 2026:** AI order import is out of testing. It is implemented and working in LiteTMS, and you will find it on the Add Order screen. We have updated this article to describe the feature as it works today. In LiteTMS you can start an order from the transport document itself. You upload the file, LiteTMS reads it, prepares a structured order draft, matches it against data already in your workspace, and shows exactly what still needs attention before the order is created. The goal is simple: stop making a forwarder type information that is already sitting in a PDF, scan, office document, or email. ## Two ways to start without a blank form Matchcodes, an optional module, handle repeat work. A forwarder can save a proven order pattern, find it by code or name, and use it as the starting point for the next similar job. The route, crew, documents, geofencing, and finance sections can be included in the saved pattern. The AI importer tackles a different case. The order arrives from outside the system and its layout belongs to the customer, not to LiteTMS. Instead of building a template for every sender, the forwarder uploads the document and asks LiteTMS to read it. That gives the order creation screen two practical shortcuts. Use a Matchcode when the work repeats. Use AI when the source is a document that somebody would otherwise have to copy field by field. ## What LiteTMS reads and prepares One import takes up to eight files: PDFs, JPEG, PNG and WebP images, DOC and DOCX files, and EML email files. LiteTMS reads the complete source rather than asking the user to paste selected fragments. From that material, it prepares one structured transport order. Depending on what the document contains, the draft can include: 1. The ordering party and a separate payer. 2. Loading and unloading stops, addresses, dates, time windows, references, and contact details. 3. Cargo description, weight, quantity, packaging, pallets, loading metres, volume, ADR class, and temperature. 4. Vehicle and trailer registrations, driver details, price, currency, VAT, and payment terms. Missing information stays missing. The extraction rules explicitly tell the model not to guess a tax number, registration plate, price, or any other value that is absent from the source. ## The review screen is where the useful work happens Reading the file is only the first half of the job. LiteTMS then compares the extracted data with records already held by the company. Contractors can be matched by tax number or company name. Stops are resolved against real places. Vehicle registrations are checked against the fleet register. The review screen separates a firm match from a suggestion and from an item that remains unmatched. This distinction matters. A system that fills every box confidently can hide expensive mistakes. LiteTMS instead produces a clear working summary: which documents were read, what was extracted, what was matched, what is only a suggestion, and what still needs a manual decision. The screen also says plainly that the draft was generated by AI and should be checked against the source documents. The forwarder can select another suggested contractor, search for the correct place, correct extracted cargo or finance values, and decide whether to assign a recognised vehicle. Only after that review does the user confirm and create the order through the normal LiteTMS order writer. ## Why a person still confirms every order Documents from transport companies vary wildly. A clean generated PDF, a photographed page, an email thread, and a scan with handwritten notes all present different problems. That is why the review step is part of the process: weak suggestions are marked as suggestions, unmatched items stay visible, and nothing becomes an order until a person confirms it. ## Where to find it To import an order, choose Add Order. The Load order with AI card sits next to Matchcodes: drop the files onto it, choose Analyze documents, then work through the review screen. Anyone who can create orders can use it, as long as AI features are switched on for the company. Reading a document uses AI, so each import counts as AI usage at the rate shown in your billing panel. ## Why this changes a forwarder's day Manual entry steals attention twice. First the forwarder reads the document. Then they read it again while copying names, addresses, dates, references, cargo, and rates into the TMS. The difficult part of the job starts only after the typing is finished. AI order import moves that attention to the exceptions. The document becomes a draft, the company data is matched where possible, and the forwarder reviews a short list of decisions. Matchcodes do the same for recurring work from the other direction: start with a trusted internal pattern instead of an empty form. That is the efficiency gain we care about. Less copying. More time for the parts of forwarding that require judgement. Want to see it on your own paperwork? [Contact us](/en/contact) and bring a transport order you received recently. We will read it in LiteTMS together and go through what the review screen flags. ## FAQ ### Can LiteTMS create an order from a PDF or email? Yes. The AI importer reads PDFs, images, DOC and DOCX files, and EML email files, up to eight per import, and prepares one structured order draft. The user reviews and confirms that draft before LiteTMS creates the order. ### Does AI create the order without a forwarder checking it? No. LiteTMS shows the extracted data, matches, suggestions, and unresolved items first. The forwarder corrects anything necessary and explicitly confirms the order. ### What happens when LiteTMS cannot match a contractor or address? The review marks the item as suggested or unmatched instead of pretending the result is certain. The user can choose another candidate, search for the correct record, or add the missing data manually. ### Does AI order import cost extra? Reading a document uses AI, so each import counts as AI usage and is charged at the rate shown in your billing panel. The order itself carries no per-record charge. ### How is AI order import different from a Matchcode? A Matchcode starts from a saved LiteTMS order pattern and suits recurring work. AI order import starts from an external document and prepares a draft from the information it finds there. --- # Match the nearest vehicle from the orders calendar > LiteTMS ranks nearby vehicles for an unassigned order, checks availability, shows each schedule, and lets dispatch assign the crew in place. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/nearest-vehicle-matching-order-calendar - Published: 2026-08-10 - Category: Product updates - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/nearest-vehicle-matching-order-calendar.en.md The LiteTMS orders calendar can now rank vehicles by proximity to the start of an unassigned job, check whether they are free in its time window, and show the surrounding schedule for any truck. Dispatch can assign the vehicle, driver, and trailer in the same view without bouncing between the calendar, fleet map, and separate records. ## An unassigned order should produce a shortlist A new order lands on the calendar. The route and time windows are ready, but the crew is not. Dispatch does not need another page listing every vehicle in the fleet. The useful questions are narrower: which truck is nearby, which one is free, and what work does it have immediately before and after this job? Open an unassigned order or one unassigned leg from the [orders calendar](/en/blog/orders-calendar-timeline), and a ranked vehicle list appears beside the route map. Vehicles with a GPS position come closest first. Each row shows approximate distance, availability, and any useful warnings. It turns “what can we send?” into a decision you can make from one screen. ## Turn the whole fleet into a useful shortlist Vehicles with a GPS position are ranked by approximate distance to the first stop on the order. When dispatch is staffing one leg, the list uses the starting point of that part of the route. The most promising candidates rise to the top without anyone comparing map positions by hand. You can keep the entire fleet in view, limit the results to 50 or 150 km, or enter a custom radius. A vehicle without a current position remains on the list with a clear “No GPS” label, so dispatch can still consider it when needed. Pick a candidate and the map moves to its position while keeping the planned route visible. The truck, starting point, and planned lane stay together on one screen. ## “Available” means no overlapping active assignment The “Available in this time window” filter compares the order's stop windows with active fleet assignments. When the times overlap, the vehicle is marked as busy. It stays available for inspection, including the orders behind the conflict, so dispatch gets context rather than a black-box verdict. The calendar button beside a vehicle opens its work from seven days before the planned job through seven days after it. Order numbers, dates, lanes, and overlaps are all there. That answers the more useful question: does this order fit the truck's week? ## The cargo can narrow the list too When the order contains requirements, LiteTMS can flag equipment that may not fit. The advisory check covers ADR, temperature control, and the recorded cargo weight. Missing fleet data does not block a vehicle or trailer. The system shows what it knows, raises specific warnings, and leaves the final call with the dispatcher. That distinction matters. Fleet records are not always complete, and a shortlist should help the operation move rather than stop it because one field is blank. ## Assign the crew without leaving the calendar After choosing a vehicle, you can select its driver and trailer in the same panel. LiteTMS can also suggest the crew most recently used with that truck. Nothing is applied automatically. You decide whether to reuse the whole suggestion, only the driver, or only the trailer. For a multi-leg order, dispatch can staff just the unassigned leg currently on screen. Existing assignments on the other legs stay untouched. The decision is saved from the calendar, and the order remains where it belongs on the timeline. This is how we are extending LiteTMS: fewer detours through the software, more of the right context at the moment a dispatcher needs it.

Vehicles with a GPS position are ranked by approximate straight-line distance from their latest known position to the first geocoded stop on the order. For one unassigned leg, the start of that leg is used instead. ### Can I limit the vehicle list to a selected radius? Yes. You can show every vehicle, select a 50 or 150 km radius, or enter your own value. Vehicles with a GPS position are also ranked from nearest to farthest. ### Can I check a vehicle's other orders before assigning it? Yes. The calendar button opens the vehicle's schedule from seven days before the order through seven days after it, including order numbers, lanes, time windows, and overlap warnings. ### Does LiteTMS assign the vehicle and driver automatically? No. LiteTMS produces a shortlist, checks availability, and can suggest the vehicle's most recent crew, but a user always makes and saves the assignment. --- # A sidebar menu that shows the modules you actually use > Hide unused items, put key modules first, and group the LiteTMS sidebar around the way you work. Each user gets their own layout. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/sidebar-menu-only-the-modules-you-use - Published: 2026-08-05 - Category: Product updates - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/sidebar-menu-only-the-modules-you-use.en.md Every LiteTMS user can now shape the sidebar around their own job: hide items they do not use, move important modules to the top, and divide the menu into named sections. A dispatcher, fleet manager, and company owner no longer need to work from the same layout. ## One company has several ways of working The list of available tools grows with the business. New modules and custom views become useful, but they are not equally important to every person on the team. A dispatcher may want Orders and Maps within immediate reach. Someone responsible for the fleet will open Vehicles, Trailers, and Reminders more often. The owner may care most about Reports and CRM. A fixed layout makes each of them scan past links that belong to somebody else's daily work. The LiteTMS sidebar is now a personal setting. Each user can organize it without changing the menu for everyone else. ## What you can change in the sidebar The navigation editor gives you three straightforward controls. ### Hide items you do not use The eye icon removes a module or area from your sidebar. The feature remains available according to your permissions. It simply stops taking up space in everyday navigation. If your responsibilities change, return to the settings and show the item again. ### Put the important modules first Every item is draggable. A dispatcher can put Orders at the top, while a fleet manager can lead with Vehicles and Reminders. There is no single correct order. The useful order is the one that keeps your most frequent route through the system short. ### Add separators and named sections A longer menu can be divided with separators. Give each one a personal label such as "Daily work", "Fleet", or "Additional modules". Leave the label empty if a simple dividing line is enough. These section names are private. Only the user who created them sees them. ## Less scanning, faster orientation This sounds like a small change until you compare two menus. One asks every available item to compete for attention. The other keeps four or five daily tools at the top and moves everything else lower or out of view. That matters as a company activates more modules. A new tool does not have to make the sidebar longer for the whole team. People with the right permission can see it, then each person can decide where it belongs in their layout. Personalization does not change access control. A user cannot add a module they are not allowed to open. They can only arrange the areas already available to them. ## How to set up your LiteTMS menu Open **Settings**, then choose **Navigation**. Drag items into the order you want, use the eye icon to hide unnecessary links, and add separators wherever a clear group helps. Save the navigation when the layout feels right. If you want to start over, the default layout is one button away. This update does not ask a transport company to change how it works. It gives each person a clearer route to the tools they already use. You can explore more ways to adapt the workspace in the [LiteTMS features section](/en/#features). ## FAQ ### Can every LiteTMS user have a different sidebar menu? Yes. The order, hidden items, and separators are saved separately for each user. Changing your own sidebar does not rearrange anyone else's navigation. ### Does hiding a module remove my access to it? No. Hiding an item only removes its shortcut from the sidebar. It does not change your permissions, and you can show the item again in the navigation settings. ### Can I group modules under my own section names? Yes. Add a separator, give it a label, and drag it to the right position. Leave the label empty if you only want a dividing line. ### Can menu customization reveal modules I am not allowed to use? No. Permissions remain authoritative. The editor only includes areas that have already been made available to that user. --- # Why we built LiteTMS from scratch > LiteTMS is not a new version of LogisticsERP. It was built from scratch using transport software experience that dates back to 2017. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/why-we-built-litetms-from-scratch - Published: 2026-08-05, updated 2026-08-06 - Category: Technology - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/why-we-built-litetms-from-scratch.en.md LiteTMS is not a new version of LogisticsERP. We built it from scratch. The experience goes back to 2017, but the code, architecture and product decisions are new. We wanted to build a TMS around what transport companies had taught us, without carrying the limits of the older system into the next one. ## LogisticsERP came first We have been building software for transport companies since 2017. LogisticsERP was the first major chapter. Companies used it for real daily work. Dispatchers managed orders, drivers sent updates, and owners kept an eye on vehicles and documents. That gave us something no planning session can provide: a clear view of what happens when software meets a busy transport desk. We learned where information needs to appear. We saw small exceptions become everyday requirements. We also learned that a feature can work exactly as designed and still get in the way when it takes too many clicks. Those lessons mattered. But they did not mean the old product had to live forever. ## A larger system is not always a better system Older software grows one layer at a time. One company needs another field. Another has a different document flow. Someone else needs a report for a specific customer. Every request makes sense on its own. Years later, the system can feel like a warehouse that contains everything but makes the right item hard to find. Transport teams feel that weight quickly. A dispatcher cannot pause work to remember where a setting lives. A driver will not read a manual in a loading yard. An owner does not want to fund a long rollout before seeing the first real order on screen. The biggest lesson from LogisticsERP was simple: a useful TMS must help from day one. The company should not have to learn the software before it can get back to transport. ## We chose a clean start You can keep renovating an old building. Sometimes the better answer is a clear site and a new plan. That is how LiteTMS began. We did not move the LogisticsERP code and replace the logo. We started with the questions we had heard for years: * How can a company start using a TMS without a rollout that takes weeks? * How can the order, its documents and its conversation stay together? * How can a team adjust its workspace without ordering custom development? * How should pricing work when transport is busier one month and quieter the next? The questions came with us. The old code did not. ## Pricing had to match real transport work Transport does not move at the same pace every month. A fixed package cannot see that. The invoice reads the same in a dead July and in a December when the fleet never stops, so the company keeps paying for capacity it is not using. That did not feel fair to us. LiteTMS keeps orders and contractors free and unlimited. You pay for the seats and the paid services the company actually used that month. A quieter month costs less. A heavy month costs more, but it grows with work the company really did, and nobody pays for a feature they never touched. The full rate card is in the panel from the day you log in. The rate and current usage of every paid feature sit in the same place, before anything reaches the bill, so the end of the month is not a surprise. This pricing model was not added as a marketing line after the product was finished. It grew from years of watching how work changes inside a transport company. You can read the full explanation in [what LiteTMS is, and why it bills pay-as-you-go](/en/blog/what-litetms-is-and-why-pay-as-you-go). ## A new system backed by experience since 2017 LiteTMS is in early access because we want to grow it carefully and listen closely to the companies using it. That does not make transport software new territory for our team. We know the cost of a screen that makes sense only to the person who designed it. We know that flexibility can become another word for a long setup. We know a feature nobody can find may as well not exist. So we started again. We did not throw away the past. We gave ourselves room to use it properly. If you want to see the result, [register your company for free](/en/register). You can add the first order the same day. ## FAQ ### Is LiteTMS a new version of LogisticsERP? No. LiteTMS was built from scratch. LogisticsERP gave us experience with real transport work, but LiteTMS has new code, a new architecture and new product decisions. ### Why did you stop developing LogisticsERP? More changes to the older system would not give us the freedom we needed. Starting again let us design the whole product around a faster start, easier daily work and pricing that follows actual use. ### How long have you been building transport software? Since 2017. LiteTMS is a new system, but it is backed by experience gained while building software used by transport companies. ### Why does LiteTMS use pay-as-you-go pricing? Because order volume and team workload change from month to month. Orders and contractors are free and unlimited, while the company pays for the seats and paid services it actually used. Lighter use means a smaller bill, heavier use raises it, and an untouched feature costs nothing at all. --- # Four registers that keep a transport company organized > Four LiteTMS registers keep employee, vehicle, trailer and contractor records together, so a missing detail does not hold up dispatch. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/four-registers-one-transport-workspace - Published: 2026-08-04 - Category: Guides - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/four-registers-one-transport-workspace.en.md A transport company gets easier to run when four registers are in order: employees, vehicles, trailers, and contractors. Give each subject a clear home and dispatch stops rebuilding simple answers from a spreadsheet, a document folder, and the memory of whoever has worked there longest. ## One order begins with four questions The load is ready, the route has been priced, and the slot is confirmed. Before the truck leaves, someone still needs four ordinary answers. **Can this employee take the job?** Their role, documents, qualifications, and current status matter. **Is the vehicle ready?** The office needs its technical details, equipment, paperwork, and maintenance history. **Is this the right trailer?** Dimensions, weight, equipment, documents, and service dates all affect that answer. **Are the contractor details correct?** An order is the wrong place to guess an address, contact person, account number, or working arrangement. None of those questions is difficult. They become expensive when every answer lives somewhere else. ## Most companies already have the information The problem is rarely that nobody recorded the data. It is that one part lives in a spreadsheet, another in a binder, and the rest in message threads or one person's head. That arrangement can feel perfectly manageable until somebody is away, a late order arrives, or a document is needed immediately. Then a small question starts a chain of calls. Who has the insurance file? When was that trailer serviced? Which phone number for this subcontractor is current? Does this driver have the paperwork for the route? The information exists. What is missing is an obvious place to look. ## Four registers with four clear jobs One system does not mean throwing every piece of data into one giant table. Useful order comes from attaching each detail to the person, asset, or company it actually describes. ### Employees An employee record holds the profile, role, documents, qualifications, cooperation details, and status. When dispatch assigns a driver, the first question is no longer who might have their paperwork. The answer starts with the employee record. This also makes a team less dependent on memory. A new office employee can find the basics without knowing who created a spreadsheet five years ago or which folder naming rule everyone quietly stopped following. ### Vehicles A registration number is not enough to operate a truck responsibly. The office also needs technical specifications, documents, equipment, financing information, fuel tank details, and a record of maintenance. A vehicle record gives all of that a permanent address. Inspection data and equipment history stay with the truck instead of being split across unrelated files. ### Trailers A trailer is not a footnote to a tractor unit. It has its own dimensions, weights, equipment, documents, maintenance, and purpose. A separate trailer register helps the office choose the right combination before the vehicle reaches the loading bay. It also keeps history attached to the asset when trailers rotate between trucks. The information follows the trailer, not a combination that existed for one journey. ### Contractors A customer, carrier, or business partner needs more than a name and a phone number. A contractor record brings together company details, contacts, addresses, documents, bank accounts, and defaults used when orders are created. Contractors are free and unlimited in LiteTMS. You can model the whole working network without deciding which partner deserves to take up a paid record. ## What changes on an ordinary Tuesday The biggest benefit does not appear in a product demo. It appears when somebody asks for a document and gets an answer in thirty seconds. The team knows where to update a detail. The same fact no longer has three competing versions. A new dispatcher does not need to ask the most experienced person about every vehicle or partner. And an order starts from maintained records instead of retyping the operation from scratch. Ownership becomes clearer too. A vehicle document belongs to the vehicle. Trailer maintenance belongs to the trailer. The customer's accounts contact belongs to the contractor. The rule is simple enough for a busy team to follow. ## Start with today's operation, not ten years of history You do not need to clean up the company's entire past before a TMS becomes useful. Start with the records doing real work today. Add active employees, vehicles, and trailers first. Then add the contractors involved in current orders. Fill the fields the team actually relies on instead of transcribing every column from an old archive. Finally, agree on one habit: new information goes straight onto the right record. For a lower-risk switch, begin with one lane and one dispatcher. Our guide to [moving a small carrier from spreadsheets to a TMS](/en/blog/from-spreadsheets-to-a-tms-small-carrier-guide) explains that sequence in detail. ## How LiteTMS handles the four registers LiteTMS has dedicated areas for employees, vehicles, trailers, and contractors. Each record leads to the information and documents relevant to that person, asset, or company. The registers become the foundation for dispatch rather than a separate archive nobody remembers to open. LiteTMS is currently in early access. To see how those records work on the real screens, [join the early-access waitlist](/en/#waitlist). ## FAQ ### Which records should I add before the first order in a TMS? Start with active employees, vehicles, trailers, and contractors. Those four registers provide the people, equipment, and partner data that everyday dispatch depends on. ### Do I need to migrate the company's entire history? No. Begin with active records and the documents needed for current work. Keep old files as a read-only archive and bring information across only when it becomes useful again. ### What belongs on a vehicle or trailer record? A vehicle record should hold its technical details, documents, equipment, and maintenance history. A trailer needs its own record for dimensions, weights, paperwork, equipment, and maintenance. ### Does LiteTMS limit the number of contractors? No. Contractors and orders are free and unlimited. You pay for the seats and services you use, and paid features show their rate and usage in the panel before anything reaches the bill. --- # One tap from the cab: driver status updates in LiteTMS > Drivers update each stop in LiteTMS Mobile with one tap. Without signal, the status waits on the phone and reaches the office after reconnection. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/one-tap-driver-status-updates - Published: 2026-07-30, updated 2026-09-28 - Category: Product updates - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/one-tap-driver-status-updates.en.md > **Update, 28 September 2026:** An earlier version of this article said a status tap works offline and updates the order in the office the moment it happens. Without signal, the status is saved on the phone and reaches the office only after the connection returns. We have corrected the article, clarified the costs, and now use the app's current name, LiteTMS Mobile. In LiteTMS, a driver reports every step of a stop with one tap in LiteTMS Mobile: on the way, on site, loading started, loaded, departure. With a connection, the status is recorded on the order in the office as soon as the phone sends it. Without one, it waits on the phone and goes out after the signal returns. Either way, the dispatcher gets the update without a phone call. ## The call everyone in transport knows by heart "Where are you? Loaded yet?" If you dispatch trucks, you make that call. If you drive one, you get it. Ten times a day, on a good day. Every one of those calls interrupts two people at once. The dispatcher stops working the board to dial. The driver answers behind the wheel, or at a ramp with a forklift beeping next to him, and gives an answer from memory. Then the dispatcher types what she heard into a spreadsheet, a chat, or nowhere at all. A week later, when a client asks what time the truck actually left the loading site, the honest answer is: whatever somebody remembers. The information was never the problem. The driver always knew where he was. The problem was the transport of that information: a phone call, a human ear, and manual retyping. ## What the driver sees at a stop The driver opens the order in LiteTMS Mobile and goes to the Points tab. Each stop shows its address, its date, and a grid of large status tiles. On a loading stop the tiles say things like on the way, on site, loading started, loaded, departure. An unloading stop offers the unloading set. The app shows only the statuses that fit that stop, so there is nothing to scroll through and nothing to pick wrong. One tap on a tile submits the status. Statuses that carry a value, like a mileage reading, open a short form instead, and the tile says so with a small arrow. Reports live in their own section above the workflow tiles: traffic jam, problem or delay. They are deliberately separated, because a report is something that happens to the driver, not a step he is expected to complete. He never has to wonder whether "problem" was part of the plan. ## What lands in the office Every status that reaches the office lands on the order as a timestamped event: which stop, which status, what time. The dispatcher watches the order move through its stops without touching the phone. Loading started at 8:12, loaded at 8:47, departed at 8:55. When the client calls, the answer is on the screen, not in someone's memory. And because the status is data rather than a sentence spoken on a bad connection, there is nothing to mishear and nothing to retype. The order is its own record. ## Dead zone? The status waits on the phone Ramps love basements and forests love dead zones, so the app does not make the driver wait for signal. A status tapped without a connection is saved on the phone. The tile shows it as queued and locks, so the same status cannot be sent twice by accident while the phone waits for bars, and the stop shows how many updates are still waiting to be sent. When the connection returns, the app tries to send what is waiting on its own. A queued status keeps the time the driver tapped it, not the time it finally went out. Until it has been sent, though, it exists only on the phone: the office cannot see it, and the order there still shows the last status that arrived. A missing status in the office can simply mean the driver's phone has no signal yet. If an update cannot be sent at all, the app tells the driver instead of dropping it quietly. ## Location: a snapshot is not tracking When a driver sends a status, the app adds a one-time position fix to that event, if location is allowed on the phone and a fix is available at that moment. Tapping statuses never switches on any tracking by itself. Fleet tracking exists in LiteTMS too, as a separate feature. You can connect the GPS or telematics your trucks already carry, or use the optional position sharing in LiteTMS Mobile, and check the latest available vehicle positions on one map in the office. The difference matters: position sharing is something the company allows and the driver knowingly turns on, with a vehicle selected. It never rides along silently with a status tap. ## What it costs A status has no charge of its own. LiteTMS Mobile has no separate app fee, statuses are part of the orders workspace, and orders in LiteTMS are [free and unlimited](/en/blog/what-litetms-is-and-why-pay-as-you-go). Your drivers can tap statuses on every stop of every load without adding a charge per status. Your drivers' employee accounts and any paid services you use follow the pricing shown in the panel. If your stops also need proof, not only progress, see [point tasks](/en/blog/point-tasks-photo-signature-at-every-stop): photo and signature tasks attached to a specific stop. ## FAQ ### How do drivers update order status in LiteTMS? They open the order in LiteTMS Mobile, go to the Points tab, and tap a status tile on the current stop: on the way, on site, loading started, loaded, departure and similar. Once the phone sends it, the status lands on the order in the office as a timestamped event. ### Which statuses can a driver send? The app shows the statuses that fit the given stop, so a loading stop offers loading statuses and an unloading stop offers unloading ones. Traffic jam and problem reports sit in a separate reports section, and statuses that need a value, like a mileage reading, open a short form. ### Does LiteTMS Mobile work without internet? Partly. Orders already synced to the phone stay readable, and a status tapped in a dead zone is saved on the phone and sent automatically after the connection returns. The office sees it only once it has been sent, and the queued tile stays locked in the meantime so the same status cannot be sent twice. ### Does LiteTMS track drivers in the background? Not through statuses. Sending a status adds only a one-time position fix to that event, when one is available. Tracking is a separate option: you connect your existing telematics, or use position sharing in LiteTMS Mobile, which can run in the background only when the company allows it and the driver turns it on. ### Does LiteTMS Mobile cost extra? There is no separate app fee, and a status has no charge of its own. Orders are free and unlimited, while your drivers' employee accounts and any paid services follow the pricing shown in the panel. --- # Point tasks: ask for a photo or signature at any stop > LiteTMS point tasks let a dispatcher attach a photo or signature task to any stop. The driver completes it in the app and the proof lands on the order. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/point-tasks-photo-signature-at-every-stop - Published: 2026-07-24, updated 2026-09-28 - Category: Product updates - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/point-tasks-photo-signature-at-every-stop.en.md > **Update, 28 September 2026:** An earlier version of this article called the app offline-first and said location is never tracked in the background. Without signal, photos and signatures wait on the phone and reach the order only after the connection returns, and the app has a separate, optional tracking mode that can run in the background. We have corrected the article, clarified the costs, and now use the app's current name, LiteTMS Mobile. LiteTMS orders now carry point tasks. A dispatcher attaches a task to any stop on the route, a photo of the cargo or a signature from the receiver, and the driver completes it in LiteTMS Mobile at that exact point. Once the phone sends them, the photos and the signature appear on the order, where the office can see them. ## The dispute that has no evidence Cargo damage claims rarely turn on what happened. They turn on what you can show. The goods left the warehouse in some condition, arrived in some condition, and everything between those two moments is somebody's word. The driver remembers the pallets were already cracked at loading. The receiver remembers differently. And the one photo that could settle it lives on a private phone, in a chat, if it was taken at all. Most companies patch this with instructions: "always photograph the load", "get a signature on the paper copy". Instructions given in the morning have a way of evaporating by the third stop. The fix is not a stricter memo. The fix is putting the request where the work happens. ## Tell the driver what proof you need, stop by stop In the order workspace, every stop on the route now has its own task list. Open a loading or unloading point, add a task, and pick the type: photo or signature. You can give it a short title and written instructions, so "photo" becomes "photograph the seal and all four pallet corners before the doors close". Save, and the task is attached to that point, on that order, for that driver. The point matters. A task pinned to stop #2 shows up when the driver is dealing with stop #2, not in a general checklist they scrolled past at six in the morning. If plans change, the office can edit or cancel a task from the same panel. ## Photos and a signature, straight from the phone On the road, the driver opens the order in LiteTMS Mobile and sees the pending tasks right on the stop. A photo task opens a camera flow built for a loading ramp: take several shots, review them, retake the bad ones, send. A signature task turns the phone into the clipboard. The driver hands it over, the receiver signs on the screen with a finger, done. Everything the driver captures attaches to the task and goes to the order. A dead zone at the ramp doesn't stop the driver, as long as the order was already on the phone: the photos or the signature are saved on the device, the task shows them as waiting to send, and the app sends them once the signal returns. Until then they exist only on the phone, so the office sees the proof after it has been sent, not at the moment it was captured. ## What the office sees Each completed task shows up on the order with its photos or signature and the time it was completed. If location is allowed on the phone and a fix is available, the task also carries a one-time snapshot of where the phone was at that moment. Completing a task never switches on tracking. LiteTMS Mobile does have a separate, optional position-sharing mode that can run in the background, but only when the company allows it and the driver turns it on. So when the claim call comes three weeks later, nobody digs through chat archives. The order holds the evidence, stamped and in place: this is what the cargo looked like at loading, this is who signed at delivery, this is when and where. ## What it costs A point task has no charge of its own. Point tasks are part of the orders workspace, LiteTMS Mobile has no separate app fee, and orders themselves are [free and unlimited](/en/blog/what-litetms-is-and-why-pay-as-you-go). The photos and signatures are stored as files, though, and file storage follows the pricing shown in the panel, as do your drivers' employee accounts. ## FAQ ### What are point tasks in LiteTMS? Point tasks are small assignments a dispatcher attaches to a specific stop on an order: take photos of the cargo or collect a signature. The driver completes them in LiteTMS Mobile at that stop, and once the phone has sent the results, they appear on the order for the office to see. ### How does a driver collect a signature? The driver opens the task on the stop and hands the phone to the receiver, who signs directly on the screen. The signature is saved to the task and synced to the order. ### Does LiteTMS Mobile track the driver's location for tasks? Not continuously. When a task is completed, the app adds a one-time snapshot of the position at that moment, if one is available, tied to that work event. Background tracking is a separate, optional mode that the company must allow and the driver must turn on; completing a task never starts it. ### Do point tasks work without mobile signal? Partly. If the order and its tasks are already on the phone, the driver can take the photos or collect the signature in a dead zone. They are saved on the phone and sent to the order after the connection returns, so the office sees them only then. ### Do point tasks cost extra? Not as tasks. They are part of the orders workspace, orders are free and unlimited, and LiteTMS Mobile has no separate app fee. The photos and signatures are stored as files, and storage follows the pricing shown in the panel. --- # The orders calendar: a week of loads on one timeline > LiteTMS now has an orders calendar: every load on a timeline per vehicle or driver, one click from the route map and the truck's current position. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/orders-calendar-timeline - Published: 2026-07-16 - Category: Product updates - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/orders-calendar-timeline.en.md LiteTMS now has an orders calendar. Every vehicle gets a row (or every driver, there are two tabs), every order gets a bar spanning its dates, and the whole week of work sits on one timeline. Each order has a summary card with its time windows, crew, and stops, and a click opens a map with the route drawn and the truck's current position on it. ## The question a list can't answer The orders list is a good register. It tells you what you have: numbers, relations, statuses, dates. What it never tells you at a glance is the shape of the week. What is on the road on Thursday? Which truck comes free on Friday? Are two urgent jobs sitting on the same rig by accident? Dispatchers answer those questions anyway. They answer them from memory, or from a whiteboard, or from a second spreadsheet that exists only to show time. The calendar's job is to make that parallel system unnecessary. The plan itself becomes something you can look at. ## One row per truck, one bar per order The layout is the one you would sketch on paper. Rows are vehicles, columns are days, and each order lies across the days it occupies. A drivers tab flips the same view to people, which is the one you want when the question is about crews rather than equipment. The bar carries more than a name. Its color is the order's status, so a draft looks different from a planned or running job, and a legend along the bottom reminds you which is which. The left edge carries priority: a red edge means urgent, an amber one means high. You choose how many days fit on the screen, zoom with a slider, and hide rows with nothing on them when you only care about the trucks that are working. Every bar also comes with a summary card holding the essentials: the order number and status, the relation, the first and last time window, the driver and vehicle, and every stop in the order with its loading or unloading marked. That is usually enough to answer a quick question without leaving the calendar at all. ## Click, and the truck is on the map The most common phone call in dispatch is some version of "where is it now". Click a bar and LiteTMS opens the map: the route drawn from the first loading to the final delivery, and the vehicle's current position on it. Where the plan and the truck have drifted apart, you see it immediately. Where they haven't, you close the map and move on. That one click replaces a small ritual. Before, checking on a load meant opening the order, finding the route, then finding the vehicle somewhere else. Now the plan and the reality share a screen, and comparing them takes seconds. ## Free capacity is the empty space A timeline shows two things at once, and the second one is easy to underrate. The bars show the work. The gaps show the capacity. When a new order comes in for Thursday, you don't run a search. You look down the Thursday column for a row with room, and the answer is just there. And because orders in LiteTMS are [free and unlimited](/en/blog/what-litetms-is-and-why-pay-as-you-go), a full calendar costs exactly the same as an empty one. Plan as much as you like. The meter doesn't move. ## FAQ ### What does the orders calendar in LiteTMS show? It shows every order as a bar on a timeline, with one row per vehicle or per driver. The bar's color is the order's status, its left edge marks priority, and a summary card shows the time windows, the assigned driver and vehicle, and all stops with loading and unloading marked. ### Can I view the calendar by driver instead of by vehicle? Yes. The calendar has two tabs, vehicles and drivers, with the same timeline underneath. The vehicles tab answers questions about equipment, and the drivers tab answers questions about who is doing what and when. ### What happens when I click an order in the calendar? A map opens with the order's route drawn from the first loading to the final delivery, and the vehicle's current position shown on it. You can compare the plan with where the truck actually is without calling anyone. ### Does the orders calendar cost extra? No. It is part of the orders workspace. Orders in LiteTMS are free and unlimited, and standard maps are included, so looking at your plan costs nothing. --- # AI Builder: create your own module in LiteTMS > Build custom forms and records in LiteTMS with AI Builder. Describe what your team needs, review the layout and adjust it to fit your daily work. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/ai-builder-custom-dispatch-tabs - Published: 2026-07-15, updated 2026-09-11 - Category: Product updates - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/ai-builder-custom-dispatch-tabs.en.md AI Builder lets you create custom modules in LiteTMS with forms and lists of saved entries. Describe the information you need to record, review the proposed layout and adjust the fields before saving a module for your team to use. You can do this without writing code. ## Start with a record your team already keeps If you track fuel purchases or employee expenses in a spreadsheet, you already have a useful starting point. Its columns reflect the information your company needs. You also know which details people tend to leave out. Use that knowledge to describe a form in AI Builder. For example: > I need a fuel log. Each entry should include a vehicle, date, litres, total amount and a photo of the receipt. Add a space for notes too. This tells the builder what the form is for and which fields it needs. A specific description also makes the result easier to review: you can compare the proposed form with the work you actually do. ## Review the form before your team uses it The builder prepares a layout in the editor. Check the field names, their order and how people will enter information. A date needs a date field, while a receipt needs an attachment field. You can connect the vehicle field to the vehicles already stored in LiteTMS. Someone recording a fuel purchase can then select a vehicle from the list, which helps avoid different spellings of the same registration number. If something is missing, ask AI to change it or edit the form yourself. You can move elements and adjust their widths. The builder also has templates for common needs, including fuel logs, employee expenses and training records. Before sharing the module with your team, try adding a sample entry. Filling in the form often makes a missing field or an unclear label easier to spot. ## Keep the entries in a shared list The form is where people add information. The module also provides a searchable, filterable list of saved entries. You can choose which columns appear on that list in the editor. For a fuel log, you might show the vehicle, date and amount in the list, with the receipt and further details available when you open an entry. Your team works with the same layout, and you can adjust it as your needs change. The builder also supports references between custom registers and reports based on their data. If you need a summary, you can prepare a report to review the recorded information. Access to the data follows the user's permissions. ## Adjust the module as you use it After a few days, you may find that the form needs another field or that a different column would be more useful on the list. You can return to the editor and update the existing module. Version history lets you review saved changes and restore an earlier configuration. It covers the module's structure; it should not be treated as a backup of the records your team has entered. You can also build a form manually. The editor lets you choose the available elements and arrange them yourself without using AI generation. ## What to check before activating a module Start with one set of records you know well. Decide which information your team needs to collect and who will use the module. That gives you a specific form to test and a practical basis for making changes. What you can build depends on the available fields, data sources and report settings. If you need a particular calculation or process, check that the editor supports it before relying on the module for that work. Check the custom module's price in the panel before activation too. AI generation is billed separately as AI service usage. Rates and usage are visible in the panel before invoicing; arranging a form manually does not make an active module free to use. For ready-made features, browse the [LiteTMS module marketplace](/en/blog/module-marketplace-built-from-company-feedback). It contains native modules developed by our team, with details of how you can try them. ## FAQ ### What can I build with LiteTMS AI Builder? You can create custom forms and registers, such as fuel logs or employee expense records. The builder also supports references between registers and reports based on available data. ### Do I need to know how to code? No. Describe the module in plain language, then review and adjust the AI proposal in the editor. You can also build the form yourself using the available elements. ### Can I change a module after my team starts using it? Yes. You can return to the editor to change the form or list settings. Version history lets you restore an earlier module configuration, but it does not replace a backup of your data. ### How is AI Builder billed? Custom modules have their own charges, and AI generation is billed as AI service usage. Check the panel for the current module price, rates and usage. --- # e-CMR and eFTI: what Polish carriers should know > From 9 July 2027 EU authorities must accept freight data shared via certified eFTI platforms. What that changes for Polish carriers, and what it does not. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/ecmr-efti-2027-what-polish-carriers-should-know - Published: 2026-07-15 - Category: Industry insights - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/ecmr-efti-2027-what-polish-carriers-should-know.en.md From 9 July 2027, Regulation (EU) 2020/1056 applies in full, and authorities across the EU have to accept freight transport information that operators share electronically through a certified eFTI platform. Read the direction of that sentence carefully, because it is the part most commonly reported backwards: the obligation lands on the authorities, not on your trucks. Nobody is banning paper in 2027. That distinction is worth ten minutes of your time, because it changes what a carrier should actually do about this. ## What the rule says, and who it binds Two separate things get mixed together in most coverage of this topic, so let us separate them. **eFTI** is the EU regulation. Regulation (EU) 2020/1056 on electronic freight transport information entered into force in August 2020, and Article 5(1) requires competent authorities to accept regulatory information made available electronically by economic operators, starting thirty months after the first implementing and delegated acts take effect. Those acts came into force in January 2025, and the Commission gives the resulting date plainly: the eFTI Regulation applies in full on 9 July 2027 ([The eFTI Regulation](https://transport.ec.europa.eu/transport-themes/logistics-and-multimodal-transport/efti-regulation_en), European Commission, checked 15 July 2026). The operator side is written as a condition, not a command. Article 4(2) says that where operators do make regulatory information available electronically to a competent authority, they must do so from data processed on a certified eFTI platform, in machine-readable format, and in human-readable format if the authority asks ([Regulation (EU) 2020/1056, consolidated text](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2020/1056), EUR-Lex, checked 15 July 2026). So the choice to go electronic is yours. What the regulation removes is the officer's ability to refuse the digital version once you have made it properly. One date arrives sooner. An amendment brought in by Regulation (EU) 2024/1157 on waste shipments means authorities must accept regulatory information under that act from 21 May 2026, ahead of the general regime. If you haul waste, that is your date, and it is not far away. **e-CMR** is older and separate: the Additional Protocol to the CMR Convention concerning the electronic consignment note, agreed in Geneva in February 2008 and in force since 5 June 2011. It is the legal basis for the consignment note itself being electronic on international carriage. Poland acceded on 13 June 2019, and the Protocol now has 41 parties ([status of the Additional Protocol](https://treaties.un.org/Pages/ViewDetails.aspx?src=TREATY&mtdsg_no=XI-B-11-b&chapter=11&clang=_en), UN Treaty Collection, checked 15 July 2026). So for a Polish carrier, the e-CMR question was settled seven years ago. The counterparty and the route decide whether it is usable on a given job, since both ends of the carriage need to be covered. eFTI is the newer piece, and it is about roadside and regulatory checks rather than the contract of carriage. ## Why 2027 is not the year paper dies Here is the honest read. A regulation that obliges authorities to accept digital data does not oblige your customer to send it, your subcontractor to support it, or the consignee to stop demanding a stamped sheet on the loading bay. Those are commercial habits, and they move at their own speed. What changes on 9 July 2027 is that the excuse disappears. Today an operator who has gone digital can still meet an inspector who wants paper. After that date, for information within the scope of the regulation, provided through a certified platform, that argument is over. The friction moves from "will they take it" to "is your data actually good enough to send". Which is why the deadline is less interesting than the thing it implies. ## The part that is actually your problem Read Article 4 again and notice the words machine-readable. Not scanned. Not photographed. Structured data, from a system, over an authenticated connection. That is the requirement most carriers are furthest from, and it has nothing to do with buying a platform in 2027. A photo of a CMR in a chat thread is not machine-readable, and no amount of certification downstream will make it so. Neither is a PDF in an inbox, or a scan in a folder named by the driver's surname. So the useful question for the next eighteen months is not "which eFTI platform do we buy". It is: when a load moves, does structured data about it exist anywhere at all? Does the system know which vehicle, which driver, which stop, what time, and which document belongs to which leg? If the answer is that all of it exists but only as pictures and messages, you have a data problem, and 2027 does not create it. It just eventually exposes it. Carriers who already run their operation as records rather than as photographs will find the platform conversation short and mostly technical. Carriers who do not will find that they cannot participate at all, deadline or no deadline. ## What we would do this year Nothing dramatic, and nothing that only pays off in 2027. Get your documents attached to loads instead of to people. Whatever system you use, the CMR belongs to the leg it covers, not to the dispatcher who happened to receive it. Get statuses captured where the work happens rather than reconstructed later from a phone call. Ask your two or three biggest customers what they plan to do, because on international lanes their answer matters more than yours. And if you haul waste, look at 21 May 2026 now rather than in April. Every one of those pays for itself immediately, on invoicing speed and on disputes. The regulation is a reason to do them this year rather than eventually. ## Where LiteTMS stands on this Plainly: LiteTMS is not a certified eFTI platform today, and we are not going to imply that it is. Certification is a specific status under the regulation, and claiming it loosely would be exactly the kind of vendor noise this post is arguing against. We are also not sitting on our hands about it. We are doing everything we can to get there, and when that status is real you will read it here with a date on it, not as a hint dropped in advance. What LiteTMS does is the prerequisite. CMR documents and delivery proof are captured on the driver's phone at the stop and attach to the order and the leg they belong to. Statuses are timestamped when the driver taps them, not when someone remembers the call. Stops, windows, vehicle, driver, and contractor exist as records rather than as text in a thread. That is the structured operational data any digital-document regime needs underneath it, and it is worth having in 2026 regardless of what happens in 2027. If you are still assembling that picture out of a spreadsheet and a chat history, the [guide to moving off spreadsheets](/en/blog/from-spreadsheets-to-a-tms-small-carrier-guide) is the more urgent read. ## Sources - [The eFTI Regulation](https://transport.ec.europa.eu/transport-themes/logistics-and-multimodal-transport/efti-regulation_en), European Commission, Mobility and Transport.

No. From 9 July 2027 authorities must accept regulatory information supplied electronically through a certified eFTI platform, but the regulation does not require carriers to stop using paper or force customers to accept digital documents. ### Does Poland accept e-CMR? Yes. Poland acceded to the Additional Protocol to the CMR concerning the electronic consignment note on 13 June 2019, so an electronic consignment note has a legal basis for international carriage. Whether you can use it on a specific job also depends on the other country involved and on your counterparty. ### What is the difference between e-CMR and eFTI? e-CMR is a UN protocol from 2008 that allows the consignment note itself to be electronic on international road carriage. eFTI is an EU regulation about how operators share regulatory information with authorities, and it obliges those authorities to accept it electronically from 9 July 2027. ### What should a carrier do before July 2027? Make sure your operational data exists in structured form rather than as photos and chat messages, since the regulation covers machine-readable information from certified platforms. Attach documents to loads, timestamp statuses where the work happens, and ask your main customers what they plan to support. --- # Moving from spreadsheets to a TMS: a small carrier’s guide > Prepare your records, choose a few jobs to test and agree how the team will work. A guide to moving a small transport company from spreadsheets to a TMS. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/from-spreadsheets-to-a-tms-small-carrier-guide - Published: 2026-07-15, updated 2026-09-28 - Category: Guides - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/from-spreadsheets-to-a-tms-small-carrier-guide.en.md Start a move from spreadsheets to a TMS with a defined part of your current work, such as orders for one customer. Prepare the records those jobs need, agree where the team will keep current information and test the full job through to its delivery paperwork. Expand once you have checked the results with the people doing the work. ## Recognise where the spreadsheet is becoming difficult A spreadsheet is easy to adapt. You can add a column, change labels and arrange orders to suit your team. If the information stays current and everyone can find it, fleet size alone is not a reason to replace it. Look at how much work happens outside the file. A dispatcher may need to call for a delivery update while documents arrive in several different places. Someone covering a colleague's shift may struggle to finish a job without asking about earlier arrangements. Write down a few situations from your own operation. These become specific things to check during a TMS trial. One useful goal might be that the next dispatcher can find an order's status and paperwork without calling the person who handled it earlier. ## Prepare what the first jobs need Choose a familiar customer or lane. Prepare the contractor, vehicle and employee records needed for those jobs. Check duplicate entries, vehicle registrations and contact details before bringing them into the new system. You do not have to move the company's entire history at once. Identify older records that you still need for outstanding invoices, open issues or reporting, and include those in the migration plan. Other files can remain in an organised archive. Make a backup before changing them and check that you can retrieve a selected order and its attachments. Keeping the spreadsheet alone is not enough if the supporting documents will become inaccessible to the team. ## Agree where the current version of an order lives During the trial, the rest of the company can continue with its existing tools. For the selected jobs, agree on one place to record the current status and changes to instructions. Otherwise, the spreadsheet and TMS can end up showing different information. If you keep duplicate records for a while, assign someone to reconcile them and set an endpoint for double entry. Check that drivers and customers will not receive conflicting messages from the two tools. ## Test a complete job with the office and driver Use a job that includes the steps your team carries out regularly. Check driver assignment, sending route details and updating the order status. After delivery, find the paperwork and confirm that the person handling invoicing has the information they need. Ask the driver to carry out their part on the phone they actually use. Watch the sign-in process, how easily they can read the job details and how they attach photos. With a weak connection, check which information remains available, which updates wait to be sent and how the office knows an update has arrived. Record where someone needed help or made a mistake. Some problems will need a setting changed; others may call for a short instruction or a different working practice. Have the people who encountered the problem check the fix. ## Check costs and data access before committing Trial costs depend on the provider's terms. Check the duration, allowances and what happens when the trial ends. Use your expected user and vehicle counts, along with the functions you need, to assess the price. Ask about data exports and access to documents after cancellation. Where possible, run a sample export and inspect its contents. Your team should know how to retrieve the information needed to continue working. ## Expand after reviewing the results Return to the problems you recorded before the trial. Is a shift handover easier? Can someone find the document against its order? What still requires manual copying? If the trial works well, choose the next part of the operation to move. Set a date from which that work is updated only in the TMS, with the old files kept for reference. The timetable depends on data quality, the scope of the change and your team's availability. There is no single number of days that fits every company. ## Using LiteTMS for this kind of trial LiteTMS lets you add unlimited orders and contractors without a charge for each record. LiteTMS Mobile handles assigned orders, status updates and documents. It needs an internet connection to fetch current information and send changes to the office. You can create custom forms and registers with [AI Builder](/en/blog/ai-builder-custom-dispatch-tabs). Check whether they can capture the details you currently keep in extra spreadsheet columns. LiteTMS has no setup fee or minimum term. A trial can still involve billable resources, services or modules, so review the terms in the panel before activating them. Our [pricing article](/en/blog/what-litetms-is-and-why-pay-as-you-go) explains the different parts of the bill. ## FAQ ### When should a small carrier move from spreadsheets to a TMS? Consider a trial when keeping information current or handing work to another person becomes difficult. Choose specific problems, such as finding documents, and test whether the TMS helps your team resolve them. ### Do I need to move every historical order? That depends on which records you still need for current work and reconciliation. You can start with current orders and keep an organised archive, while including older jobs that still have outstanding issues. ### How long does a move to a TMS take? The timing depends on data preparation, the people involved and the scope of the change. Decide when to expand after the office and drivers have tested the full handling of selected jobs. ### Can I test a TMS alongside a spreadsheet? Yes. Define the trial's scope and agree where the current information for those jobs will be recorded. If you keep both sets of records, assign someone to reconcile them and set a date to end double entry. --- # Welcome to the LiteTMS blog > A short introduction to the LiteTMS blog, what we plan to write about here, and why every post also exists as a plain markdown file. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/welcome-to-the-litetms-blog - Published: 2026-07-15 - Category: Product updates - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/welcome-to-the-litetms-blog.en.md This is the LiteTMS blog, and it exists so we can explain the product and the industry around it with enough room to finish a thought. We build a transport management system for small and mid-sized carriers. Most of what we learn ends up inside the software, but plenty of it never fits into a tooltip. That is what this space is for. ## What you will find here Roughly four kinds of posts. **Product updates** cover what we shipped and what it changes on a Tuesday morning when three trucks are waiting on paperwork. **Guides** are the practical ones: moving off spreadsheets, getting drivers onto the mobile app, keeping CMR documents somewhere you can actually find them again. **Industry insights** look at the regulations and shifts that land on Polish and EU carriers whether they asked for them or not. **News** is reserved for the bigger announcements. We would rather publish one post worth reading than four that fill a content calendar. ## How we write Every post is a markdown file in the same repository as the product. There is no CMS behind this blog and no editorial workflow. A post ships the way a feature ships. That has a side effect we like. Because the source is markdown, you can read any post in its raw form by adding `.md` to its address, and so can whatever AI assistant you happen to be asking about transport software. Just the text, nothing wrapped around it. ## A note on what we will not do We are not going to tell you that thousands of happy carriers already run LiteTMS, because they don't. We're early, registration is still gated, and pretending otherwise would be a strange way to open a blog. What we will do is stay specific. Orders and contractors are free and unlimited. You pay for the seats and the services you actually use, every paid feature shows its rate and usage in the panel before anything reaches your bill, and you can stop whenever you want with no minimum term. If a post ever promises something the product doesn't do, tell us and we'll fix the post. ## FAQ ### What is LiteTMS? LiteTMS is a transport management system that a carrier runs for its own operation. It handles orders, drivers, vehicles, contractors, documents, and billing. It is not a load board or a freight exchange, so there is nothing to browse and nobody to bid against. ### How often will you publish? There is no fixed schedule. We publish when we have something worth the read, which in practice means a few posts a month rather than one a day. ### Can I read these posts as plain markdown? Yes. Every post is served as a raw markdown file alongside the HTML version, which makes it cheap to feed into an AI assistant or into a reader that prefers plain text. --- # What LiteTMS does and how its pricing works > LiteTMS brings orders, fleet records and documents into one workspace. Learn what is free, what is billed and where to check your usage and module costs. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/what-litetms-is-and-why-pay-as-you-go - Published: 2026-07-15, updated 2026-09-28 - Category: News - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/what-litetms-is-and-why-pay-as-you-go.en.md LiteTMS is a transport management system for carriers and freight forwarders. It brings order handling together with fleet records, documents and communication with drivers. Orders and contractors are free and unlimited. Your bill depends on billable resources, the services you use and active paid modules. ## Follow an order through to its paperwork An order starts with the transport details, stops and assignment of a vehicle and driver. As the job progresses, you need updates, documents and a record of what was agreed. LiteTMS lets you keep that information with the order you are handling. Vehicle and trailer records hold fleet details, documents and maintenance dates. The contractor database contains the companies you work with. Fleet maps and invoicing are also available, and you choose the functions your business needs. Drivers use LiteTMS Mobile to view assigned orders, update statuses and add documents. The office can then use the information they submit to continue handling the job. An internet connection is needed to fetch current information and deliver changes to the office. Each company has its own workspace and database. User permissions determine who can access particular information and functions. ## Adding orders does not add a per-order charge There is no limit or charge for adding orders. The same applies to contractors: recording another carrier or customer does not increase your bill by itself. This makes one part of the cost clear when your transport volume grows. There is still a distinction between a free order record and the services used to handle it. Sending an SMS or using a paid routing service, for example, can incur a separate charge. ## What contributes to the bill The billing panel shows rates, free allowances and resource usage. User, employee and vehicle counts can contribute to costs, along with other resources covered by the price list. Each item follows its own billing rules and the allowances assigned to your account. Metered services include AI generation, message sending and file storage. The driver app and standard maps are available without a separate charge for those features. Resources and services used alongside them can still be billable. Paid module subscriptions, including custom modules, are another part of the total. Check a module's price and terms before activating it. Our [module marketplace article](/en/blog/module-marketplace-built-from-company-feedback) explains how trials work for ready-made modules. Rates and usage are visible in the panel before invoicing. To understand your costs, review both usage and active subscriptions. Fewer orders alone will not reduce the bill, since orders are not charged in the first place. ## Cancellation and your data LiteTMS has no setup fee or minimum term. Registration includes accepting the service terms. You can stop using the system, and your data remains exportable. Paid modules have their own billing periods. Cancelling renewal stops the next period, with access continuing until the current paid period or trial ends. If you do not want to keep a module after its trial, cancel renewal before the trial ends: otherwise it automatically converts to a paid subscription. ## Check the fit with a familiar job Choose an order whose handling you know well. Check whether you can record the information you need, pass it to the driver and retrieve the documents after delivery. Review the billing panel too, so you understand the charges associated with the functions you use. If your team currently works in spreadsheets, our [guide to moving to a TMS](/en/blog/from-spreadsheets-to-a-tms-small-carrier-guide) covers preparing records and testing the system with your team. ## FAQ ### Does LiteTMS charge per order? No. Orders and contractors are free and unlimited. Services used while handling an order, such as SMS sending, can incur separate charges. ### What determines the cost of LiteTMS? The total depends on billable resources and their allowances, metered service usage and active module subscriptions. Current rates and usage are shown in the billing panel. ### Is there an extra charge for the driver app? LiteTMS Mobile itself is available without a separate app charge. Account resources and services such as file storage follow the pricing shown in the panel. ### Do I have to commit for a year? There is no minimum term or setup fee. For paid modules, cancellation stops the next renewal while the current period continues to its end. --- # This blog is a folder of markdown files > There is no CMS behind the LiteTMS blog. Every post is a markdown file in the product repository, validated in CI and served as HTML, raw markdown, and RSS. - URL: https://litetms.eu/en/blog/why-this-blog-has-no-cms - Published: 2026-07-15 - Category: Technology - Markdown: https://litetms.eu/blog/why-this-blog-has-no-cms.en.md There is no CMS behind this blog and no database either. Every post is a markdown file committed to the same repository as the LiteTMS code, so publishing a post works exactly like shipping a feature: a commit and a deploy. We wanted to do this differently from most company blogs, and this post shows you the whole mechanism, including the source of the very page you are reading. ## The setup everyone else uses A typical company blog runs on a full content management system. A database, an admin panel, user accounts, plugins, and a theme that fights back when you touch it. All that machinery exists so a team of editors can publish without going near the code. We do not have a team of editors, and we already spend the whole day in a code repository. So we skipped the machinery. Every extra system is something to patch, back up, and secure. A folder of text files is not. ## What a post file looks like Here is a trimmed copy of this post's own header, followed by the shape of the body: ```markdown --- title: This blog is a folder of markdown files slug: why-this-blog-has-no-cms locale: en description: There is no CMS behind the LiteTMS blog. Every post is... date: 2026-07-15 category: technology tags: markdown, blog, aieo, engineering draft: false --- The first paragraph answers the title on its own, because that is the part search snippets and AI assistants quote. ## A section heading Plain markdown body. Nothing exotic. ## FAQ ### Does this sample show the FAQ convention? Yes. Each ### line is a literal question, answered right below it. ``` The block at the top is a flat list of key and value pairs. Below it sits ordinary markdown, rendered by a standard markdown library. One file per language: this post exists as an `.en.md` file and a `.pl.md` file with the same name, and the Polish version is written natively rather than machine translated. The `## FAQ` section at the end of the sample is the real convention, not decoration. Each question is the kind a person would type into a search box, and the build turns those pairs into structured data that search engines can show as rich results. There is a live example at the bottom of this page. ## A validator instead of an editor Before anything ships, a build script reads every post file and checks it against the schema. The description has to land between 80 and 170 characters. The category has to be one of five allowed values. The date has to be a real calendar date, and the slug has to match the filename. The script then writes a single index file with every post's metadata, and the site reads only that file. A listing page costs the same with five hundred posts as it does with five. The same script runs in CI on every push. If a post is invalid, or someone forgot to regenerate the index, the build fails and nothing deploys. Broken content cannot reach production, because production never receives anything the validator did not pass. ## Why markdown, honestly Markdown won for unglamorous reasons. A markdown file is readable in any text editor, with tooling or without. It diffs line by line, so a post gets reviewed the way code does: you see exactly which sentence changed. And it is the cheapest possible format for an AI assistant to ingest, which matters a little more every month. That last point is why every post here is served three ways. The page you are reading is the HTML version. Add `.md` to the address in your browser and you get the raw source file, byte for byte as committed, served as plain markdown. And each language has its own RSS feed for readers and aggregators. There is also a machine-readable catalog of every published post at [/blog/index.md](/blog/index.md), and the site's `llms.txt` points AI crawlers straight at it. None of this ever shows up as duplicate content, because the raw files carry a noindex header and a canonical link back to the HTML page. ## What this buys you as a reader Nothing here is a product feature. It is a decision about how we run our own publishing, and it fits the promise from the [first post](/en/blog/welcome-to-the-litetms-blog): no invented numbers, and text you can check at the source. The TMS itself is built on the same preference for plain, inspectable mechanics. If you want to look around, [registration is free](/en/register). ## FAQ ### Can I read a LiteTMS blog post as plain markdown? Yes. Add `.md` to the address of any post and the site redirects you to the raw source file, served as plain markdown. The full catalog of published posts lives at /blog/index.md. ### Why does the LiteTMS blog not use a CMS? Because a CMS would be a second system to patch and secure, and the only people publishing here already work in the product repository. Markdown files with a CI validator do the same job with far less to maintain. ### Does writing for AI assistants make the posts worse for people? No. The structure assistants reward, meaning a direct opening paragraph, descriptive headings, and literal questions with short answers, is the same structure that makes an article easy to skim. The raw markdown is a separate format, so the article you read stays a normal article.
