Cargo Integration Transactions

It aims to help manage the shipment processes of the companies in integration processes with Workcube Cargo companies. Three different steps are applied for the determined purpose.

  1. Sending the order information to the Cargo company via Workcube. In general, this process is done when the order or invoice is created.
  2. Displaying the location of the order on Workcube with the Where is My Cargo links.
  3. Recording cash or credit card payments to the system made at the door.

It should be determined which steps will be applied with the companies using Workcube for the relevant integrations. If the company using Workcube has more than one company, it should be specified with which company the integration will be made. Our consultants should support companies on how to proceed in this regard. After the needs are determined, this information should be shared with the company to be integrated. A contract is made with the cargo company according to the type of services to be received. Cargo customer codes and passwords are given to the relevant persons.

After this step, a document from the Cargo company should be forwarded to our software team for Workcube integration studies. This document should contain information on how to do the steps we mentioned above. Different cargo companies use different web services even for the same transactions. The aim here is to finalize the integration as soon as possible with the most accurate document.

In addition, if there is an integration process related to the payment specified in step 3, a detailed analysis should be made in this regard. For example, when the payment will be made, what will be the commission amount, when will it be processed into the system, what will be the format of the payment files etc.

If possible, a joint meeting with the project manager of the company using Workcube, the cargo customer manager and a person from the Workcube software team will ensure that the problems that may arise are eliminated faster.


Actions to be taken by Workcube

Volume information (width*length*height) must be entered on the screen where unit definitions are made in the Workcube product detail of all products to be sold. This definition should be made in new product entries. These definitions should be made for the total desi values to be calculated for the orders.

Total desi values can be calculated in order for additional information. During the order delivery phase, additional information can be written by calculating the total desi value. We can do this with an action file. Desi values can be useful in reconciliation transactions by companies. It is mandatory to send this information when sending an order with certain cargo companies. It must be determined at what stage the shipping information should be. A separate invoice relationship for each order is important. It is the withdrawal of an order to a recommended invoice.

Address parameters should be checked specifically when sending the information of the order. Some integrations also cause problems if the provincial and district definitions are not the same

Considering the problems that may occur in web services, an analysis can be made about what to do when the order information does not reach the cargo.

Concerning where is my cargo, the setups on B2B or B2C sites should be determined and relevant links should be added. If more than one company is doing cargo integration through Workcube, the relevant links should be different.

According to the format of the payment files, how to add them to the system should be determined and if possible, these improvements should be resolved with the logic of add-options.
