⇄ File Exchange
For environments where real-time API integration is not required or feasible, file-based integration offers a structured and reliable alternative. Shipment and customs data can be transmitted via standardized files such as CSV or XML, based on predefined specifications. Together with our Integration Team, you can define the setup that best aligns with your technical capabilities, operational complexity, and growth strategy.
Files are typically exchanged through secure transfer protocols (e.g., SFTP) and processed at scheduled intervals. After validation and processing, confirmation or error feedback can be returned, ensuring controlled and traceable data handling.
Key Characteristics
- Scheduled batch processing (e.g shipment or customs shipment data)
- Transmission via secure file transfer (SFTP)
- Standardized file formats (CSV, XML, or agreed formats)
- Processing confirmation through response messages
Ideal Use Cases
- Shipment data exchange
- Customs shipment data
Although file-based integration does not provide instant request-level feedback like the REST API, it remains a stable and efficient solution for many operational setups.
