Here's what's new!
Authority History Tracking Feature
Full authority history is now displayed on company profile pages, showing all changes over time. Track when authorities were granted, revoked, or modified to understand a carrier's complete regulatory timeline.
Insurance History Feature
Insurance history tracking added to profile pages. See insurance coverage changes over time with a cleaner, more organized display.
Contact Info Change History Feature
Track changes to carrier contact information over time including phone numbers, emails, and addresses. See when contact details were updated to identify patterns and verify current information accuracy.
Hide Sensitive Data Mode Feature
New privacy mode that conceals addresses, phone numbers, emails, names, and street view images. Data can be revealed with a single click—designed to look polished and professional rather than just blurred. Perfect for screen sharing or presentations.
Enhanced Association Analysis Update
Association entities now show "strong" connection indicators based on equipment ratios and likelihood. Connections are evaluated by type of links and assigned a score which categorizes them into weak, normal, or strong connections.
Contact Matcher Feature
Upload CSVs to verify contacts against the carrier database. Perfect for validating your contact lists at scale.
Email Lookup Tool Feature
Bulk company lookup via email addresses with CSV export of matched DOT numbers and company names. Quickly identify which carriers are associated with email addresses in your database.
Google SSO Feature
Users can now sign in with Google authentication. Faster login with just one click— no need to remember another password.
Profile Picture Support Feature
User profile pictures now display throughout the platform. Google SSO users automatically get their Google profile picture synced to their account.
🔍 Search & Discovery
Advanced Search Filters Feature
Powerful new filtering options including authority type, authority age, and safety score presence. Filter by active common/contract/broker authority, include or exclude operational classifications, and easily distinguish broker-only entities from dual authority carriers.
Search Match Highlighting Feature
Search results now show why items matched your query. See exactly which fields triggered the match.
Quick Find Feature
New endpoint to jump directly to a company page by DOT or MC number. Skip the search results and go straight to the carrier you need.
📡 API & Data Access
Inspection Search API Feature

⚡ Performance & Infrastructure
Inspection Exports: 200x Faster Update
Inspection exports reduced from ~10 minutes to ~3 seconds. Massive performance improvement for bulk data exports.
Export Limits Update
Hard limits on exports to prevent system crashes on large requests. Export caps (100 records) applied to standard plans—uncapped exports available on higher tiers.

🎨 UI/UX Improvements
Authority Status Header Update
DOT and authority status now prominently displayed at the top of carrier pages. Instantly see the most critical information without scrolling.

DOT status checked asynchronously and cached, updating the page when results return. Faster initial page loads with live status updates.
