Introducing 'Via Route' for Rate Matrix

Introducing 'Via Route' which allows shippers to configure contracts with multiple drop-points. For indents which involve multiple drops between a source and a destination, or choosing an interim location on the way to the destination, transporters would charge a separate rate. Pando enables shippers to add this to the contract. A new column 'Via' is being introduced to the rate matrix. The same can be uploaded using point or city names through comma-separated values.

Dispatch Throughput can be configured for a gate and will feed into Optima while assigning indents. Whenever the Dispatch Throughput ceiling has been exceeded, users will be presented with a warning. Users may then choose to push indents for the next day or opt to ignore the warning.
