Hand over transport orders directly to your logistics partners with EDI
Your goods are ready to ship. Now your logistics partner needs the right information. With EDI, you hand over transport orders electronically from your ERP and tailor the data exchange to your partners’ requirements.
The right information before the goods leave
A transport order connects your shipping planning with your logistics partner’s processes. With EDI, the data is available electronically and you reduce the manual effort at this handover.
Less double entry
Existing order data is passed on electronically. Your team doesn’t have to re-enter it in a separate application for every shipment.
Plan pickups better
Your logistics partner receives the order information for its planning. That way the transport can be prepared before the shipment is picked up.
Assign shipments clearly
The transmitted information links the transport order to the intended recipient. This makes matching easier for the logistics partner.
Plan for a change of partner
Do you work with several logistics partners? A coordinated data exchange helps you integrate their different format requirements into your shipping process.
With EDI from the ERP to the logistics partner
The EDI format IFTMIN is often used for the electronic transport order. This message sends the instructions for a specific shipment to the carrier. Which formats and data are required depends on your partner. When setting up the connection, your ERP, the recipient’s specifications and the desired process are aligned with each other. Depending on the service provider, XML can also play a role.
Does EDI fit your logistics process?
Bring your ERP, your logistics partners and the processes you want to the consultation. Together we clarify which messages you want to exchange and which requirements apply to your connection. That turns a general plan into a concrete next step.
