Attention: Octopi recently received a branding refresh. Colors in the application will appear different than the colors seen in screenshots and videos on the Knowledge Base. These changes are only in appearance. The functionality of Octopi, as described in our guides and videos, remains unchanged.

Let's take a look at what's new in Octopi this month!

We're working everyday to improve Octopi and enhance your experience. If you're interested in seeing updates and fixes as they are deployed to our servers, you can check out the Changelog in Octopi.

New Feature Highlights

Truck Appointments KPI

Added a Truck Appointments KPI to the Dashboard. This new KPI represents the number of truck appointments scheduled at each terminal on the current today by time slot and provides a graphical indication of the appointment status.

Improvements

Cargo & Voyages

  • Improved the Discharge Manifest CSV importer to identify vehicles. Now Octopi CSV importers will recognize general cargo that includes a VIN and move that cargo to the Vehicles inventory.
  • Added a Container Goods column to the Container Inventory CSV importer.
  • Added the ability to edit Container Usage on the Loading Movement edit page. Usage is tracked at the container movement level. If the edited movement is the container's last movement, the container's usage will also update.

Gate Operations
