Coneksion® RAPIDS Ocean Booking Data Connectivity is a subscription-based, fully managed solution aiming to increase the efficiency of ocean shipping ordering processes. Its focus is on connecting cooperation partners regardless of systems used and technical capabilities. This solution covers the information exchange for all major steps of the ocean booking process, from booking requests to transport documents, or from sailing schedules to invoices, if needed.
The solution we provide is carrier-neutral. So, whether you work with top carriers such as MSC, Maersk, CMA CGM, Hapag-Lloyd, COSCO, ONE, Evergreen, Yang Ming, HMM, and ZIM, or any other carrier, you can order all your ocean container shipments directly from your existing system.
Each carrier typically has its own format and interface for ordering their services. Many work with legacy systems and integration standards such as EDIFACT, while others share their data only via specific APIs. With the coneksion® RAPIDS Ocean Booking Data Connectivity solution, you don't have to worry about these multiple interfaces. Instead, it integrates directly into your system in the format of your choice.
With our connectivity solution, you can choose the message formats and technical connections you are already familiar with. We even set up a dedicated API that follows your system's preferences.
You can also decide on the frequency in which you would like the data to be handled.
For example, sometimes, a carrier might require booking information data you do not have readily available in a certain place in your ERP or another system. The coneksion® RAPIDS solution can pull the required data from different places such as your ERP, WMS and TMS, combine and clean it, before forwarding to the carrier. The same applies in the opposite direction. The solution can also handle other types of data enrichment or validation. Just mention your needs in the setup phase.
You don't have to deal with anyone else to make it work. The service is fully managed, meaning we will take care of the whole process from the design phase through deployment to maintenance, including onboarding all relevant stakeholders. Neither do you have to invest in in-house integration technology or the IT staff required to operate it.
Would you like to go one step further and also include the sailing schedule or freight invoice exchange with the carrier to the solution? Or would you like to automate all processes around the Bill of Lading fully and include an official eBoL solution? You can do all that and more by adding advanced features to the solution.
The coneksion® RAPIDS eBoL Solution Connectivity service enables connectivity between your systems and eBoL platforms and service providers.
Coneksion® RAPIDS Ocean Track & Trace Data Connectivity is a subscription-based, fully managed solution to get Track & Trace information into your own system directly. Its focus is on connecting shippers and other ocean shipping stakeholders with their carriers and 3rd parties, regardless of systems used and technical capabilities.
This solution is ideal for terminal operators, ports, Vessel Sharing Agreement (VSA) partners, and freight forwarders wanting to increase operational activities efficiency and carriers looking for better transparency and interoperability with partners.
