Goodloading API – automating loading through integration with external systems
In response to the demands of modern logistics, Goodloading offers integration via API, enabling external systems to optimize processes related to cargo loading. Discover the latest features of the Goodloading API!
What is the Goodloading API?
The Goodloading API enables full automation of planning and optimizing the use of cargo space within an external system. This allows users to send loading data directly to Goodloading while working within their own tool. The system optimizes the loading process, and the results can be directly utilized in external applications and systems.
How does integration with Goodloading work?
Integration with Goodloading facilitates efficient planning of cargo placement, enhancing productivity and reducing risks associated with suboptimal loading. By integrating through the API, this process becomes fully automated, eliminating the need for manual data input and calculations.
Goodloading offers various integration methods tailored to specific business needs:
- Integration via API: Enables complete automation of the loading planning process within any tool the user employs. Data about cargo can be sent, optimization results retrieved, and the entire process managed without manual intervention.
- Custom Integration: Goodloading provides the option to develop tailored solutions to meet clients’ unique requirements. This ensures businesses can perfectly align Goodloading’s features with their needs.
New features of the Goodloading API
The Goodloading API has recently been enhanced with several new features, including:
- Loading space recommendations: The API can suggest alternative transport options, such as a different vehicle or container, based on the provided parameters, further streamlining decision-making processes.
- Multistop planning: The API supports planning for multiple loading and unloading points, a feature particularly beneficial for multi-stage logistics and complex delivery routes.
- Cargo color selection: Different colors can be assigned to various types of cargo, improving visibility and facilitating monitoring and control during loading.
