Transfix Integrates with e2open Transportation Management System to Offer Shippers Real-Time and Spot Market Rates

API connectivity allows e2open TMS clients to access dynamic market information with simple setup requiring only a few clicks

Transfix, Inc. Intelligent Freight Platform™, announced new API connectivity with e2open’s global multi-modal Transportation Management System (TMS), providing shippers with easy automated access to dynamic market rates and capacity.

Transfix’s new integration with e2open, the connected supply chain SaaS platform with the largest multi-enterprise network, will allow shippers on e2open’s platform to access Transfix’s nationwide network of top-performing full truckload (FTL) carriers for van and reefer equipment types. Shippers will have access to both real-time rating and spot market rates within the e2open TMS via Transfix’s Real-Time Rating (RTR) API and the Spot Market API.

“Efficiency and reliability are top of mind for our customers, and this partnership helps drive those goals forward,” said Tony Tzeng, Chief Product Officer at Transfix. “These integrations provide access to a reliable carrier network and remove the ‘rate guesswork,’ allowing shippers to focus on optimizing their operations and business growth.”

Through the RTR API, shippers gain instant visibility into Transfix pricing; these rates automatically appear in shippers’ routing guides without the hassle of maintaining contracted rates or sourcing from the spot market. Shippers can leverage this real-time information to book with confidence and speed up their spot market engagements by reducing the time from quote to tender.

The Spot Market API greatly reduces manual processes, increases the response rate to spot loads, and provides reliable pricing for individual shipments. “There is a long-standing void at the intersection of capacity, service, and price. The Spot Market API brings confidence and a competitive edge to shippers looking to bring their freight operations into the future,” Tzeng added.

Transfix’s new TMS integration with e2open was built with simplicity in mind, with a setup that involves a fast and easy online process with only a few clicks and requires no IT assistance (no phone calls or emails).
