Native EDI Management

The most reliable integrations use a native EDI engine built into the TMS so that load tenders, shipment status updates, and invoices flow automatically between systems without manual re-entry. McLeod’s DataFusion EDI supports ANSI X12, XML, and JSON formats over FTP, SFTP, AS2, and API, enabling connection with virtually any trading partner configuration.

EDI-driven freight billing eliminates manual invoice creation by automatically generating accurate invoices from load data, validating against partner codes, and giving visibility and a place to update missing data before transmitting to the trading partner, speeding up the pay cycle and reducing payment disputes or rebills.

An Open API framework exposes TMS data through standardized RESTful endpoints, allowing shippers, carriers, technology partners, and internal tools to exchange data in real time without custom development for each connection. McLeod’s API supports two-way access while maintaining business rules and data validations, enabling integrations with load boards, tracking platforms, pricing tools, and AI partners.

Multi-company load sharing through EDI connects asset carriers and brokerage divisions so that internally brokered shipments can be tendered, tracked, and settled with real-time visibility between entities. Configurable auto-acceptance rules (based on lane, revenue code, or bill-to) reduce manual touchpoints and allow high-volume load sharing to run with minimal dispatcher intervention.
