SCANCODE Developer's Tool Kit: Multi-Carrier Shipping and Rating API’s

Power-up your host system with the right tools for real shipping horsepower

In today’s distributed marketplace, software developers are striving to evolve their software applications to satisfy a diverse set of functional requirements. Shipping remains a common thread in the supply chain process that challenges most customer host systems to remain in-sync with the Carriers that they use. While most Carriers today offer connectivity to host systems in a variety of electronic formats, many businesses are still left with the daunting task of managing these islands of Carrier automation.

Forward thinking corporations and software developers are looking at cost effective ways to tweak their current business applications to provide the ‘stand-alone horsepower’ needed to execute the role of multi-carrier shipping— and do it more efficiently. This means ensuring that redundant shipping steps, manual intervention and ‘nonhost- like’ user interfaces are removed from the distribution process.

As innovators in the shipping industry, Scancode has addressed this need by redefining its powerful ATMS shipping and rating engines as a series of dynamic API’s – the Developers Tool Kit.

These components provide a solid base to design and build an integrated enterprise shipping platform that is precisely tailored to fit your business requirements.

Whether you’re a software developer, integrator or IT department, the Scancode Ship and Rate API’s provide the right tools to design and deeply integrate multicarrier shipping functionality directly into your business applications.

This ‘black box’ technology can empower the host system to get rate quotes, incorporate advanced carrier routing and print compliant shipping labels in real time and at various touch points in the distribution process.
