At Truckcom, our commitment to enhancing our product knows no bounds. We continuously strive to empower our customers by improving efficiency and saving valuable time. A significant aspect of achieving this goal lies in our extensive range of system integrations, all provided at no additional cost.
This is the 2nd part of our series looking at some of the many system integrations that are available at no extra cost to all Truckcom customer. If you missed it you can go back and read Part One: CNS Container Enquiry API
Part Two: Destin8
Much like our CNS Integration if you’re in the container haulage industry, staying informed about vessel arrival dates is crucial for efficient planning. Our integration with MCP – Destin8 eliminates the need to check multiple systems for real-time data, ensuring that your Truckcom jobs stay synchronised with the latest statuses and events.
Back in early 2021 work began to integrate Destin8 with Truckcom to reduce the need to check container status information across separate system. The Destin8 system links seamlessly with Truckcom based on your badge code(s) with all relevant updates being sent directly to us as soon as they are available.
Now widely used by our customer base this integration is constantly evolving with improvements and new features regularly being introduced to enhance the system further.
Receive automatic updates for all containers associated with your badge codes as soon as they are made available in Destin8
How it works
- Messages Sent to Truckcom Automatically
- Truckcom is configured to receive all updates associated with your badge code(s). This can happen alongside any existing connection you have.
- As soon as there are updates against any container linked to your badge code, we process this data accordingly.
- Providing Updates
- We update the relevant job in your system with the following details
- The container weight
- The vessel ETA
- The shipping line
- The container size
- Hazardous details if applicable
- Has the container landed
- Has the container cleared customs
- Any customs hold information
- These details, along with the full audit history, are updated against the relevant Truckcom jobs.
- We update the relevant job in your system with the following details
- Updating Address Details
- Based on the received information, we update the starting address of the relevant job. This ensures you have the correct terminal and berth, preventing delays for your drivers when navigating to the collection point.
- Auto PIN Generation
- When a release (RAM) message is received, we automatically generate a PIN based on configurable settings. This PIN is stored in Truckcom and sent back to Destin8. It saves valuable time and ensures accurate data before your driver arrives.
Continuous Improvement
Just like our entire system, we’re committed to ongoing improvement. We’re open to discussing additional requirements with our customers to explore further enhancements in the future.
Cost
