Excerpt

Import Completed Consignments allows you to manifest consignments straight into Oneflo and

...

automatically onto ANY carrier within your

...

freight profile from your ERP/WMS.

Why use EDI over direct Carrier Integration?

  • A Standard Integration format for all carriers
    • EFM already Integrates with the Carriers
  • No Development required to receive Tracking Information
    • EFM already receives scan events from most carriers, as a result no development is required from your side.
  • Leverage EFM's Rate Card. If you Choose to manifest directly with the carrier, you my not be able to leverage your cheaper rates through EFM

...

If you want to continue using your existing 3PL or if you have your own system or WMS that is capable of generating consignments and printing labels, you can still use the rates we have provided to you by using our Import Completed Consignments Integration.

All consignments created against carriers that we have provided to you must be transmitted to us.
