Introduction
This quarter there have been further improvements to the Simacan platform. Below you can read what's new.
October
New design header and navigation
The header (at the top of the application) and navigation of the Control Tower and Masterdata have received a more modern look. With these changes, our applications become more uniform and it allows us to introduce additional usability improvements in the near future.
On some pages in the Control Tower, a date picker was previously shown in the header. From now on, the date can be chosen at the location where you can also set the filters. This applies to both trips and consignments.

Introduction of notification center
In the Control Tower, a notification rail has been introduced on the right side of the screen. This makes it possible to stay updated on new messages, regardless of the page you are on. The bell icon indicates the number of unread messages. Clicking the icon opens the notification center, where you can view all unread messages. Clicking the notification itself allows you to send a response instantly. By clicking on the label next to the message, the corresponding trip is opened and all other messages related to that trip are displayed. The icon for non-geocoded locations has been moved from the header to the notification rail.

At the bottom of the notification bar, a gift icon is displayed, which links to our knowledge base with information on the latest product improvements, among other things. In the future, we will introduce more functionalities in the notification center.
