EDI Integration

System Integration Options

We have built standards within Crossfire for working with a number of systems, including:

EDI Standards

EDI uses message standards which outline the structure of the information to be exchanged. A different message standard will be used for each type of business transaction. Message standards replace traditional paper documents. These are formats for EDI documents that specify what information goes where within an EDI document. A number of EDI standards exist to facilitate data exchange and are determined by industry or trading partners practices.

Below are some of the EDI standards that Crossfire Cloud EDI supports:

• EDIFACT EDI Integration Standard (all standards available)
• X12 EDI Integration Standard (all standards available)
• GS1
• XML
• Delimited (e.g. TSV, CSV, PSV, etc)
• Fixed

CARGOWISE RATES UPLOADER

With Crossfire, Cargowise users can flatten and export Cargowise screens to Excel, making it faster and easier to update rates and costs. Updating data in Excel means that percentage increases can be applied across the board, copied, and uploaded back into Cargowise. A big time saver when it comes to data entry.
