Forwarder Transport Creation

Use Case

A forwarder wants to create transports for Freight Matching.

Description

Freight Matching supports three transport creation processes:

  1. Forwarders can create an unassigned transport in Transporeon Freight Matching via API. Then in the Freight Matching GUI dispatchers decide how to subcontract the transport.

  2. Forwarders can send an unassigned Transport to Transporeon Freight Matching to be published as Spot or Auto Match via API. In this case, dispatchers will not use the Freight Matching GUI.

  3. Forwarders can send an assigned transport to Transporeon Freight Matching via API.

Use the status field to select the process you want to use.
