Changelog — Logistica
All notable changes to this app are recorded here. Newest entries on top.
[2026-06-17]
- Your currency is now used everywhere. The currency symbol set in Settings is respected across the whole app — including the Accounts ledger and the expense entry screens, which previously showed a dollar sign. Fresh installs lock the symbol in automatically.
- Money fields format as you type. When you enter an amount anywhere — expenses, shipping rates, handling fees, discounts, prices, payments — the figure now shows thousands separators (e.g. 1,500,000) so it's easy to read exactly what you typed. For Naira, kobo decimals are ignored.

- Configurable tax / VAT on invoices. Turn on a tax under Settings → Tax / VAT (set the label and rate) and every new shipment automatically adds it as its own line on the invoice, receipt, and customer portal. The rate is locked onto each invoice when it's created, so changing it later never alters older invoices.
- Record company expenses. New Accounts tab where you log operational costs, asset purchases, and vendor payments — categorised (Rent, Salary, Asset, Vendor, Utilities, Transport, Tax, Other) — so your real costs are captured, not just per-container ones.
- Company ledger + profit/loss. The Accounts tab shows a single ledger of every transaction — money in (customer payments) and money out (company + container expenses) — with a summary of Income, Expenses, Net Profit/Loss, and Outstanding owed to you, for any date range.
- Track containers and their profit & loss. New Containers tab: each container you load in China holds many customers' shipments. Record what the container cost you (shipping line, clearing, transport — any expense lines you like) and see its full picture at a glance — total billed, money collected, what's still outstanding from customers, and profit on both a collected and a billed basis.
- Assign shipments to a container. When booking a shipment you can now pick which container it's travelling in, so revenue rolls up to the right container automatically.
- Float estimate at booking. Add an optional rough freight quote when you book in China and share it with the customer early — the real charge is still worked out from CBM/KG when the goods arrive at the warehouse.
- See released vs. remaining goods per customer. A customer's profile now shows how many pieces have been released and how many are still in your warehouse — handy when someone has paid part of their bill and collected only some of their goods.
- Customers tab is now a full hub. Open any customer to see their details, their shipments (with balance and release status), goods released, and send them a message — all in one place.
- Removed Shared Costs. Customers don't share charges, so that section is gone — replaced by container tracking and clearer company accounts (collections, outstanding, unpaid).
- Shipping-focused customer portal. The customer app now talks shipping: "Shipments" and "Issues" instead of charges and repairs. Customers raise an issue about a shipment (with a photo) instead of "reporting a repair."
- Customers can pay in the app with Paystack. Customers sign in and settle their shipment balance online; you can also record cash and transfers yourself.
- Shipping document types. Upload categories are now Manifest, Packing List, Invoice, Receipt, Bill of Lading, Waybill, and Customs Declaration.
- Internal: every remaining "tenant" wording is now "customer".

- Logistica is here — run your whole cargo business from one app. Book shipments, track them through Booked → In Transit → Arrived → Releasing → Delivered, and keep every customer in the loop.
- Charge by weight or volume. Set a CBM (volume) rate and a per-kg rate on each shipment; the total works itself out from your cargo's measurements, plus a handling fee, minus any discount.
- Track containers and bales. Record the container number and add each bale with its own weight and volume. Mark how many pieces have been released when customers pick up in parts.
- Pickup or delivery, your choice. Flag each shipment for warehouse pickup or delivery to the customer, with a handling fee when you need one.
- Customers track and pay online. Customers sign in to see their shipments, cargo breakdown, and balance — and pay it with Paystack, right from their phone.
- Record off-channel payments in seconds. Took cash or a bank transfer? Log it against the shipment and the balance updates instantly.
- WhatsApp a customer in one tap. From any shipment, tap WhatsApp Customer to open a chat straight to their saved number with the shipment summary ready to send.
- Split shared container costs. Pool clearing, demurrage, or consolidation costs across customers — everyone sees who has paid.
- Built-in support chat. Customers raise questions or damage claims with a photo and message back and forth with your team until resolved.
- Multiple offices, one account. Run more than one office, each with its own shipments, customers, and dashboard.
- Reports that help. Collections, outstanding, top customers, top cargo types, and daily trends — with CSV export.
