Release notes - Jul 2026
Here are the key changes to the 7bridges software as of 29th July 2026
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.
This release cycle is a little different. Rather than introducing major new features, we have focused on delivering a series of continuous improvements across the software. These enhancements are designed to improve performance, reliability, and usability, helping customers work more efficiently every day.
Performance improvements
We’ve recently delivered a series of performance improvements across the software to enhance overall stability and responsiveness.
Customers should now experience smoother interactions, faster load times, and increased reliability. These updates also reduce the likelihood of interruptions or intermittent slowness during use.
Performance improvements by the numbers
Error rates have remained close to 0% for the past two months.
Our slowest-loading screens, including those that bring together detailed order and shipment information, are now more than 80% faster and have consistently loaded within 1-2 seconds since late June.
Pages in your browser now load up to five times faster than they did three months ago and respond to clicks almost instantly, helping to deliver a faster, smoother user experience.
We’ll continue to monitor performance closely and make further enhancements where needed.
AI transparency notices
Clearer visibility into AI-assisted processes.
We're introducing new notices across the software to provide greater transparency about where AI may be used to help extract, classify, or enter data. These notices support upcoming EU AI Act transparency requirements (effective 2 August 2026) and are designed to ensure users are informed when AI-assisted processing may have contributed to the data they are viewing.
Why this matters
✅ You'll have clearer visibility into where AI may have been involved in processing information, helping you make informed decisions when reviewing operational and financial data.
✅ There are no changes to functionality or workflows as part of this update. If you have any questions, your Customer Success Manager will be happy to help.
Automate improvements
Faster, more reliable booking
A smoother shipment booking experience. Customers can now compare carrier options more easily, with cheapest and fastest recommendations displaying consistently during booking. We have also improved package validation to reduce unnecessary booking errors and ensure shipment weights are accurately represented, helping to avoid carrier rejections. Clearer customs reference validation also makes it easier to identify and correct invalid MRNs before a booking is submitted.
Richer sales order details
Improved visibility into sales orders. A new Order Details panel has been added to sales order pages, providing easy access to key information such as order source, customer references, preferred currency, and any tags submitted during order creation. Displaying tags alongside order information gives operations teams greater visibility into how orders are being processed and makes it easier to validate fulfilment rules that rely on tag data. We've also made a small improvement to lead time displays so remaining delivery times are shown more clearly.
More Reliable Commercial Invoice Generation
More reliable commercial invoice processing. We've made several improvements to help ensure invoices are generated and managed more consistently throughout the shipment lifecycle.
UPS Provider API shipping connection
Greater control over provider API upgrades. Customers can now choose when to adopt the latest provider API versions on a per-account basis, making it easier to test and validate changes before wider deployment. This helps minimise potential disruption to shipment processing and provides a safer, more controlled approach to managing provider integrations.
Why this matters:
✅ Validate provider API changes on selected accounts before broader rollout.
✅ Reduce the risk of unexpected impacts to shipping workflows.
✅ Gain greater flexibility when managing provider integrations.
✅ Maintain business continuity while adopting provider updates and enhancements.
Optimise Improvements
Improved Invoice Management
Greater confidence in invoice review and processing. Invoice details are now displayed more consistently, helping teams review invoice information more efficiently. We've also improved invoice status handling to support smoother management of voided invoices and refined Ready to Pay notifications so they more accurately reflect invoice status. Together, these changes help reduce confusion and support more reliable invoice processing workflows.
Clearer Reporting and Dashboards
More Accurate Dashboard Insights
The Expired Accounts widget now displays the correct account count, providing a more accurate view of account status directly from the dashboard. We've also resolved an issue that could cause provider list reports to display an error when a provider had no active accounts.
Enhanced Spend Alert Filtering
Spend alert tables now support selecting multiple values for both Type and Provider filters. This makes it easier to refine results, identify trends, and focus on the data most relevant to your analysis.
Improved Shipment Reporting Consistency
We've updated the In Transit and Delivered shipment tables to use the same underlying data source as other shipment views across the software. This delivers a more consistent reporting experience and helps ensure teams are working from aligned shipment information.
