IN-TOOL

EDI Booking, Shipping instructions and transparency

IN-TOOL

Much more than just electronic submission for booking requests and shipping instructions, the software has in-built data validation, review and amend, automatic addition of relevant codes for carriers, vessels, ports or locations and container types, giving a true 'bridge' between freight forwarding systems and the world's container carriers.

Integration

The in tool desk top or server-based application is linked with the host system there are many ways of sharing data some describe below.

Linked Module

The Client freight system creates a flat file (ideally .txt) and sends it into a specific folder which the software (installed on a server or local machine) detects and processes. The sender receives an e-mail detailing any amendments necessary, allowing correction of the record in their freight system for resubmission.

Doc2Data

The user prints the job to the Doc2Data Printer Driver (on each assigned PC) which then creates a digital image for OCR scanning and the resulting data is populated into the appropriate fields in In-Tool desktop application.

Automated Manifest System (AMS)

AMS information may be added to jobs and e-mailed in a PDF format, along with a copy of the shipping instructions, directly to the respective carrier's AMS department or, where appropriate, to their authorised agent or broker.
