How does the Transsmart Connector work?
The Transsmart Connector connects Exact Globe to Transsmart, so that shipping orders are automatically created based on order data. You can then easily generate shipping labels, select the appropriate carrier, and have tracking and shipping data automatically updated in Exact Globe.
You decide which data is exchanged and how the integration is set up. This ensures the connector aligns with your logistics processes and that you always work with up-to-date shipping information.
Features of the Transsmart Connector
With the Transsmart Connector, you can automate more than just shipment registration. The connector supports various logistics processes and features that contribute to more efficient shipping, better collaboration with carriers, and greater control over shipping information.
Administrative Consolidation
Secure better rates in your contracts with carriers. Multiple shipments are consolidated when certain shipment parameters match. Use administrative consolidation when physical consolidation is not possible.
Third-Party Billing
Charge the costs for a shipment to a third party, whose information must be included in the shipment booking. The booking must contain the required data that the carrier needs; this varies by carrier.
Paperless Invoicing
Improve the quality and speed of customs processes by electronically sending the required documents for non-EU shipments to the carrier and/or customs authorities. This process replaces the physical invoices that are normally required to be included with non-EU shipments.
Proof of Delivery
It is possible to request the signature used to confirm delivery of the shipment. nShift can retrieve this data from the carrier, and your organization can then request this data from nShift.

What are the benefits of the Transsmart Connector?
With the Transsmart Connector, you can automate the shipping process between Exact Globe and Transsmart. Shipping orders are created automatically, shipping labels are generated, and track-and-trace information is fed back to Exact Globe. This eliminates manual work, reduces the risk of errors, and ensures you’re always working with up-to-date shipping information.
Because employees no longer have to switch between different systems, logistics processes run faster and more efficiently. Sales, the warehouse, and customer service all have access to the same up-to-date data, which allows shipments to be processed more quickly and customer inquiries to be answered more effectively.
Thanks to support for multiple carriers, you also gain greater flexibility in your shipping process. You can easily choose the carrier that best suits your shipment, keep transportation costs under control, and create a scalable solution that grows with your organization.
