Electronic Data Interchange or EDI for short is the exchange of data in an electronic format between our customers and us. Moving to an electronic data exchange can benefit both Hi-Trans Express and our customer's businesses as it will help by reducing costs, increasing processing speed and reducing data errors.
EDI Integration is an ideal solution for streamlining your customer's operations and ensuring we have your customer's freight information as soon as it’s available. All that's required is that we are sent the information in a structured file via FTP (File Transfer Protocol).
We have two EDI integration methods available to our customers.
This option does not require our customer to use the Hi-Trans Online system, instead our customer's system is able to directly import the consignment data into our Jaix Freight system.
Keep in mind customers are still required to print and provide all documentation to accompany their freight
We are able now able to offer our customers a new feature that allows us to export live data to our customers via FTP or Email. This feature allows our customers to get the latest information about the whereabouts of their freight right from their own third party system or via an email.
What the export sends to a customer
Review the documents in the links below and then email our helpdesk (helpdesk@hi-trans.com.au) and provide us with an IT contact and what options you would like us to enable. From there our IT department will do the rest.
