    When does the API button appear?

    Carrier uses Cloudex TMS

    If the selected carrier also uses Cloudex TMS, the API connection is recognized automatically and the button appears without any additional API configuration.

    Carrier uses another supported TMS

    If the carrier uses another supported TMS, the carrier's API integration must first be configured in Cloudex TMS.

    After the integration has been configured, the API button becomes available when that carrier is selected in Trip/Spedition.

    Supported carrier TMS integrations

    Currently, transport orders can be sent directly to carriers using:

      Cloudex/Ozols TMS XSPED Terminality

      To which systems you can send Orders to carriers. If your carrier is using:

      • Cloudex 
      • XSPED
      • Terminality

      Sending the order via API helps to:

        avoid manual order entry in the carrier's system; reduce data-entry mistakes; send transport information directly from Cloudex TMS; enable further API communication, such as receiving shipment statuses and documents back from the carrier.
