Here are the key changes to the 7bridges software as of the 30th January 2025.
Not all of these features are applicable for all customers. If you want to talk to someone about gaining access to any of these features, please contact your Customer Success Manager.
Headline changes
1. Optimise - Prepay Audit
Audit can now be pre-payment, so you can see when an invoice has been audited and cleared ‘Ready to pay’. This new invoice Audit status helps you know whether it’s safe to pay the logistics provider invoice. You can also manually override an invoice to make it ‘Ready to pay’.
2. Optimise - Network Analysis improvements
Launched before Christmas, Network Analysis has more dashboards, more currencies and it remembers your filters as you navigate around it.
3. Optimise - Data manager
A new section in the software, Data manager gives you a granular look at the charges and shipping methods seen in invoices and how they are configured in the software; giving you greater data transparency.
4. Optimise - Multipart GL codes
Upgrading the GL coding feature to support up to 3 categories of GL codes. These are combined together manually and by automated rules, helping you code invoices better.
5. Optimise - Audit spend reports
We’ve standardised the reports in the Audit spend section so all customers get a good view of the status of Audit and the ROI delivered.

6. Automate - Multilingual pack list templates
