Collaboration Layer

Built-in messaging — for your team and your customers

Trenvar ships with a full collaboration stack: channels, DMs, threads, mentions, and a direct chat line between your customers and your operations team. One platform, one conversation thread, one audit trail.

Customer messaging your operations team from inside the Vectra customer portal

The Customer Channel

Your customers chat your team without leaving the platform.

Downstream customers — 3PL clients, buyers, air-cargo shippers — open messaging from their portal and reach your operations team directly. No outside chat tool, no email back-and-forth, no lost context. Every conversation is tied to the same workspace as the orders it concerns.

Operational fit

Stop paying for a separate chat tool just to talk to your customers.

When messaging lives inside the platform, every conversation carries the role boundaries, audit log, and customer scope you already trust. No new vendor. No new audit gap.

Inside the Collaboration Layer

Three things every logistics team needs to coordinate

A real team chat product wired into your workflow data — not a bolted-on widget.

Customer-to-Team Direct Messaging

Your downstream customers reach your operations team inside the same platform they already use for orders, inventory, and invoices. No extra Intercom seat. No separate inbox.

  • Customers DM their account team directly
  • Customer-facing staff are always reachable; specialised roles are scoped
  • Cross-company isolation enforced — Customer A never sees Customer B
  • Same audit trail, role boundaries, and workspace isolation as the rest of the platform

Team Messaging — Channels, DMs, Threads

Run team operations conversations on the same data layer as your shipments. Channels for departments, DMs for individuals, threads for focused replies — without leaving the workflow.

  • Public and private channels
  • Direct messages and group DMs
  • Threaded replies with reply counts
  • @mentions with in-app notifications
  • Emoji reactions, edit, delete, mute, and pin
  • File attachments up to 25 MB

Floating, Draggable, Always With You

The messaging window floats over any module — WMS, dispatch, billing — so an operator can answer a customer question while keeping the order on screen. Drag it anywhere. It stays open across page navigations.

  • Pop-out window — drag, resize, position-persistent
  • Stays open as you move between modules
  • Unread badges in the header on every page
  • Full-page mode at /messaging when you need focus time

Floor Productivity

Coordinate exceptions without losing context.

A driver runs late. The customer asks about a delivery. An invoice line looks off. With messaging that floats over the work, your team handles the question while the relevant order, shipment, or invoice is still on screen.

  • Mentions and reactions for quick acknowledgement
  • Threaded replies keep focused discussions together
  • Attachments for photos, PODs, and documents
  • Pin and mute to manage signal-to-noise
