Freight API Integration - Streamline Your Shipping Process
Freight API for Canada–USA LTL Shipping | Seamless Integration for Brokers & 3PLs
Expect bumps out on the road, not in your logistics process. CSA now offers a freight API integration for LTL shipments, to provide you with efficient, worry-free service.
What Is a Freight API and Why Does It Matter in Logistics?
An API (Application Programming Interface) enables software systems to communicate with each other—often in real time—allowing you to automate tasks like quoting, booking, tracking, and managing shipping documents.
It’s a two-way street: One system communicates with another. This eliminates the need for mass callbacks, lengthy email exchanges, and manual data entry.
Streamline Your Operation with CSA’s Freight and Logistics API
API integrations are ready to go in only a matter of weeks, and sometimes even days. Compared to outdated EDI tools, which take much longer to set up, CSA can quickly set you up with our API.
API works with your TMS (transportation management system) in real time to transmit key data points. This means you’ll get tracking updates, order entry, or spot quotes in milliseconds.
- Get Answers Fast: Automatically retrieve tracking updates from machine to machine.
- Fast Pricing and Booking: Complete orders and receive new spot quotes ASAP so you don’t have to lift a finger (or the phone).
- Double-Check Confirmations: Unlike EDI, there are no guessing games, so your team receives a response on every action taken until you know it was successful.
Logistics API Integration Built for Brokers and 3PLs
Logistics brokers and Third-Party Logistics providers love API integration with CSA because of simple integration and, reliable 15 terminal network.
