🚀 What’s New in TEQ

🔧 Smarter Use of Screen Space

Toggle the top navbar to reduce unused vertical space, giving you more room in the VP timeline without breaking layout or alignment.
Why it matters: More screen space for critical information enables better focus and faster planning.

✅ Better Visual Planner Validation

Trip requirements are now validated directly in VP to ensure configurations are complete and correct.
Why it matters: Issues are caught earlier in the planning flow, helping reduce rework and improve planning reliability.

💰 Smarter Waiting Time Pricing

You can now configure tiered hourly price ranges for waiting time on Round with Availability trips using Dynamic Price Factors.
Why it matters: Supports fair, scalable pricing that accurately reflects longer waiting times — The functionality will cover the need for double start-up charges.

🌐 Clear Trip Requirements in Network Trips

Trip requirements are now included in network trips and visible to subcontractors and partner TEQ companies.

• Other TEQ companies see clear trip requirement indicators and receive accurate vehicle suggestions
• BusNetwork portal companies see clear trip requirement indicators (no validation due to portal simplicity)
• Hosts are notified instantly by email when trip requirements change

Why it matters: Improves resource matching, cross-company coordination, and operational transparency across the network.

🚍 Co-planner Improvements
Trip requirements are now respected when optimising with Co-planner, and we’ve made it easier to understand outcomes with clearer optimisation reporting — plus a new option to better balance workload across your fleet.

• Trip requirements respected in optimisation: Co-planner now takes trip requirements into account when generating the best vehicle-trip assignments.
• Clearer explanations for unassigned trips: We’ve improved the explanations in the optimisation report so it’s easier to understand why a trip wasn’t assigned.
• New fleet balancing constraint (max duration per vehicle): To balance trip assignment across the fleet, you can now set a limit on the total duration of trips assigned to each vehicle.

Why it matters: Improves optimisation quality and transparency, and gives you more control to distribute work more evenly across vehicles.
