In the real-time world of today business to busines integration is a must. The trouble with most B2B implementations is they are not very flexible and in many cases do not yield good data.  Our aim with B2B integrations is to provide the most reliable and flexible suite of technolgies on the market today. With regard to file format we support all forms of B2B integration from traditional X12 EDI to custom XML and flat file formats. With regard to transport we support most any transport technology from simple HTTP(s) and FTP(s) to MQ and AS2. Essentially you let us know how you need the data and we will provide the data in that format.

We support the a full range of X12 EDI transaction sets and are confident in the reliability of this data

Our preferred format is XML. We have a full suite of avaliable XML schemas for integrations.

Due to the flexibility of our systems most any custom format can be accomodated.

We have deployed satellite equipment tracking on power units around the country as well as on many of our reefer trailers. We use the data provided by this investment in two strategic ways:

• To deliver real-time notices in a variety of formats (B2B, load tracking, etc) for our business partners.
• To provide operational feedback for performance and safety compliance in real-time.

The end result of this investment is that you can be confident that while your freight is under our care we will take the utmost care to deliver it safely and as scheduled.
