Integrations
Integration should be what the platform does — not a project you pay for.
Enterprise TMS stacks price connectivity as work: per-trading-partner EDI setup, per-module add-ons, integration consultants, and months of waiting. Conterminal was built the other way around — the platform connects to the container's sources itself, and the connections your business needs are part of the product.
Data in
How container data enters the record.
Terminal, rail, and steamship-line collection
The platform connects to the sources itself and collects container status around the clock, cross-checking them against each other. Adding a covered source to your rollout is configuration, not an integration project you fund.
Delivery orders by email, add-in, or upload
Forward a delivery order to your Conterminal address, send it from Gmail or Outlook with the add-in, or drop the PDF. Documents are read into structured suggestions a person confirms — no template setup fees, no per-document charges.
ELD telemetry
A first-party Motive integration brings live duty status and remaining hours into dispatch and timecards.
Forwarder and customer paperwork
Spreadsheets and PDFs from counterparties become tracked containers through the same reviewed intake — the party sending them doesn't need an account, a portal, or an EDI project.
Data out
How the record reaches the people who need it.
Shareable tracking links
Any shipment can be shared as a link that opens without a login. Your customer's customer sees status without a seat license or an onboarding call.
Your quote form, on your website
The white-label quote widget embeds in your own site. Accepted quotes arrive in dispatch as workable orders — the integration between sales and operations is the product itself.
Accounting
Invoices and settlement data flow to QuickBooks. Money closes against the same record that ran the moves.
AI assistants
A secured, read-only connector lets your team ask questions about authorized shipments from ChatGPT or another assistant — scoped to your workspace, with no write access.
The contrast
What the integration line item looks like elsewhere.
In the enterprise stacks this section compares against, connectivity is revenue: EDI connections are quoted per trading partner, tracking data can be a separately priced module, appointment tooling another, and the integration work is billed by certified consultants on multi-month timelines. Every new customer your sales team wins can mean another integration invoice before their first container moves.
Conterminal's model: the sources the platform watches are part of the rollout, intake that reads documents replaces most point-to-point integration entirely, and the connections that remain — accounting, ELD, your website, your customers' AI tools — are included, not metered. When a partner genuinely requires a dedicated integration, its scope is defined in the proposal before it is quoted, like every other unit.
