What's New in Placard Pro
5.3
August 1, 2026
Rescan failed BOLs — One tap reopens the camera with your load number carried over. The new scan replaces the old one in your history, with the original kept for your records. Clearer scan results — Informational advisories (like UN-number- on-placard requirements) now appear separately from document warnings, so you can see what needs fixing versus what's simply good to know. Manual Review alerts — Certain load combinations now show a review banner prompting you to confirm with your dispatcher before transport. Multi-page BOL detection — When a BOL references an attached weight manifest, the app now prompts you to scan all pages so placard requirements can be fully evaluated. Fixed an issue where the camera could fail to open after entering a load number.
