Integration Options – APIs vs ODBC
Global Logistics Cargo offers two choices of integration to meet your automation needs.
Either way, it’s the one and only “carrier” integration you will ever need.
Automate your shipping with every carrier and service you use with ONE integration.
INTEGR8 THROUGH ODBC
Integration with Global Logistics Cargo is possible with almost all data sources; from a comma delimited file and Access database to MS SQL, SAP, Oracle
InteGr8 is our integration app that allows companies to integrate with Global Logistics Cargo for the automation of logistics processes.
It serves as the gateway to your data and Global Logistics Cargo in the cloud. In its simplest form, InteGr8 pulls your orders into Global Logistics Cargo and pushes your shipment information back.
With a single mouse click you can:
- Find all available services, rates and delivery times
- Pre-assign services to orders or automatically assign the cheapest service to every order
- Ship and generate labels and other required documentation
- Populate the ship screen to manually complete the shipment
- Bulk Process selected orders
Data mappings allows us to pull all order and product info into Global Logistics Cargo for every order & push back relevant shipment information to your data source or an external file. Data including tracking numbers, freight costs, carrier and service, expected delivery date and so forth can be instantly pushed back to automatically update each order. It’s the ultimate in automating the fulfillment process with ALL your carriers.
ON HOLD
Pre-assign all shipping information. Put the shipment onHold when the ship date is unknown and labels are not required until shipment is released.
RELEASE
Process an OnHold shipment and generate labels via the Ship web service, an OnHold user login to globallogistics-cargo.com, or a hyperlink. Hyperlink shipping allows for the email distribution of the ship link to anyone who needs to process the shipping labels. Generate labels for the OnHold shipment with a click.
CONSOLIDATE
Create Consolidation Units on the fly and attach orders to their relevant units throughout the day. Global Logistics Cargo’s Consolidation API allows for zone skip and cross-border drop-ship by mixing modes.
OPEN
Push all order/shipment information into the Global Logistics Cargo online shipping screen on demand.
CLOSE
The end of day cycle and generation of your carrier manifest is also part of our API suite. Close one carrier at a time or simply close off everything shipped.
