Integration

If you have a high shipment volume, you may want to transmit data by direct integration to save time copying and re-keying information into your system. CargoSmart supports Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), XML, Web services, and proprietary formats for direct integration. CargoSmart also provides a dedicated project team to help customers integrate CargoSmart with their internal applications.

EDI

CargoSmart provides integration services if you would like to manage your shipment data with multiple carriers using EDI. You only need to integrate once with CargoSmart. CargoSmart integrates with multiple carriers and saves you time by minimizing the number of connections and message sets you need to manage. CargoSmart supports all industry standard messages in ANSI X.12 and EDIFACT formats. Automatic system monitoring ensure message integrity and that your data format requirements are met. Our experienced service teams support your implementation each step of the way.

API

CargoSmart offers API integrations to help you manage multiple-carrier cargo tracking information through your own system's application. API integration allows you to receive data only when you request it so that you do not need to store all data. It saves time and money processing and storing multiple-carrier cargo tracking data. It returns a list of events of the container(s) by a given booking number, or bill of lading number or container number.

XML

CargoSmart also provides integration services if you would like to manage your shipment data with multiple carriers using XML. You can integrate once with CargoSmart and through this single connection, receive shipment information from all your carriers, saving you time by minimizing the number of connections and message sets you need to manage. The data format can be applied across multiple programs and systems.

Flat File

CargoSmart allows you to submit and receive multiple carrier shipment information in flat file format if you do not have a formal EDI/XML system in place. You can set up programs to extract data from your systems and then e-mail the data in a flat file format to CargoSmart. This saves time from having to re-key information and you do not require expensive systems to automate your shipping process through more complex integration methods
