Plug in to a nationwide network of top carriers in just a few clicks

Carrier integration is the technical and operational layer that connects your internal systems, infrastructure, and accounts to carriers, couriers, and 3PLs, facilitating booking, label generation, tracking, rate comparison, and settlement from a single control point. It is the foundation that makes multi-carrier shipping possible, enabling users to manage various modes of transport and delivery from one place, rather than logging into separate carrier accounts manually.

By leveraging multiple carriers for your logistics operations, you can seamlessly adapt to diverse shipping requirements and customer demands across various modes of transport. This approach offers significant advantages, including the flexibility to swiftly integrate new carriers, meet high customer expectations, and ensure efficient and timely deliveries.

For example, a business that previously relied on a single contracted carrier can use multi-carrier integration to access regional specialists, reduce cost, and deliver faster without additional manual work. Real-time visibility across all connected carriers also saves time by eliminating the need to chase updates across separate systems.

Carrier integration software allows businesses to manage multiple carrier accounts within a single platform — giving users full control over carrier selection, label generation, shipment tracking, and rate comparison without switching between disconnected systems. This streamlined approach enhances efficiency throughout your operations while minimizing costs and reducing manual work across your entire logistics infrastructure.

The software should automatically compare live rates from all connected carriers to support smarter carrier selection and identify the most cost-effective option for every order. Seamless connection to existing order management, warehouse management, and ERP systems is critical to avoid manual data entry.

Eliminating that manual work prevents mislabeled shipments, reduces costly carrier surcharges, and gives your team real time visibility into every shipment across your multi-carrier network, free from the operational bottlenecks that slow down manual processes.

Access to multiple carriers lets you adapt to varying shipping needs and customer demands across various modes of transport. To ensure you are making the most of this strategy, we suggest the following:

• Assess your needs: Identify your shipping requirements and work with carriers that align with them — including regional carriers for last mile delivery and enterprise carriers for high-volume or cross-border shipments.

• Leverage technology: Implement a robust transport management system that allows you to integrate with multiple carriers, automate carrier selection, and reduce manual work across your operations.

• Establish meaningful partnerships: Build strong partnerships with contracted carriers, maintain clear communication, and use performance data to inform future carrier allocation.

• Automate workflows: Use automation and cloud-based apps for updated rate comparisons, shipment tracking, and label generation — saving time and freeing your team to focus on higher-value tasks.

• Monitor performance: Set KPIs to track carrier performance and delivery reliability across various modes, and adjust carrier selection as needed based on real time visibility into your data.

Agent Integrations: These are companies or partners that receive consignment and manifest data from your Transvirtual account to complete deliveries on your behalf. For example, a regional carrier or 3PL that handles your last mile delivery would connect as an agent integration, receiving shipment data automatically and delivering on your behalf without any manual work on your end.

Customer Integrations: These are companies that send consignment and manifest data to your Transvirtual account, allowing you to complete deliveries on their behalf. For example, enterprise retailers or e-commerce platforms connect as customer integrations, pushing order data directly into your system so you can deliver seamlessly without manual data entry or separate accounts.
