Overview

Cargoson lets you send info between your transportation management software and Opter automatically — no code required.

Using a TMS is the first step to optimizing your transport and logistics. It allows you to save time, money and CO2 emissions by having all of your carriers on one dashboard.

If your company or partner is using Opter, you can take it a step further: skip the manual steps and automate the shipping process.

Opter TMS integration features

Opter is a TMS software used by carriers and freight forwarders.

Cargoson and Opter have built a two-way integration for you to share data with your carriers that are using the Opter system.

You don't need to to anything to integrate your carrier's Opter system with your shipping software — it's already integrated automatically!

Depending on the carrier, the integration will be up immediately after adding the carrier to your personal list of transport partners, or you might need to request EDI credentials from them. You can find out whether you need to do this by opening the carrier's profile.

Transport orders

Transport orders will be created in your carrier's Opter environment automatically. This will avoid delays and errors due to manual communication and data entry.

Packaging labels

After placing a transport order, package labels can be opened directly in your Cargoson environment, ERP, online store or other Cargoson-integrated systems.

Tracking

The shipment's tracking link will be saved in Cargoson and your Cargoson-integrated system and can be opened by clicking on it.

Automatic tracking milestones on your dashboard

To save time, your shipments' tracking milestones are automatically updated based on the info saved in the carrier's Opter system. You can see the status directly on your dashboard without opening the shipment or the tracking link, or it can be requested via the Cargoson API.

Start using Opter with your transport management system

Your time is valuable

If you use multiple carriers, we believe that using one system to work with all of them is the most efficient use of your time and resources.

Skip the manual work

Your contacts, orders and shipment data already exists in your ERP/WMS/eCommerce software. Are you copy-pasting them to the Opter system?

Instead, make use of it: integrate your system with Cargoson and your data will be exchanged with the Opter system automatically! This will also avoid human errors.

Pick and choose which carriers you like

The carriers you want to use is your decision, not our business.

Cargoson is not a middleman or a forwarder, but your transportation management software.

Our carrier database is extensive, but you can add missing carriers by simply contacting Cargoson support.

All your carriers connected to Opter

All your transport bookings could be placed the same way.
Data is exchanged with Opter TMS software automatically.
Simple API: One integration from your business software will cover all your present and future carrier integrations.
Requesting a new carrier integration, in case we haven't built it yet, is free for all customers.
Track all of your shipments on one dashboard.
Adding, removing or switching carriers is quick and easy.

Branded notifications

All transport-related notifications to your partners, customers and coworkers are branded and look the same, regardless of the carrier you're using.
