Migration from file-based EDI to API
In order to optimize your logistics, we are migrating from using file-based EDIs to only using APIs.
From file-based EDI to API
If you are using a TA provider, when you need to print labels, you can disregard this information, as the migration task lies with your provider of the transport administration.
In order to be up to date regarding data transferring, we will in the future only develop new functions for our APIs, and as a consequence we will stop supporting file-based EDIs.
For that reason we have begun a process of assisting our partners and customers to get from using file-based EDIs to only using APIs in relation to transport orders.
How
We will start the migration for our customers on an ongoing basis, and you will not need to do anything before you receive an e-mail from us. The e-mail will describe how your process will be, and afterwards we will also contact you by phone.
You will receive support from us during the whole migration.
When
From the end of 2024, we will only develop and maintain services that are related to APIs.
The advantages
By the transition to APIs, you will achieve instant transfer of data without manual interference and thus less risk of errors.
Your customers will get tracking and notifications in real time so they are always updated.
You will be notified instantly, if there are errors in the data you transfer.
This is your process
