All of the quoting, booking and tracking with CTI Logistics is run off an API call. MachShip have been provided with a username and password and as such, there is no need to contact CTI in order to obtain any information. 

The specific options for CTI couriers are:

Account Code - The account code will have been provided to you when your account was set up.

Consignment Prefix - This is a 2-3 character string which you can set. e.g ABC.

Reference Pools - Reference pools are utilised by MachShip in order to maintain a count on connote, manifest and item numbers. The reference pool will ensure that each of those numbers is unique to what we have sent to the carrier previously. More information can be obtained on reference pools here. CTI requires the creation of 2  reference pools, for the Connote number.

To create the reference pool select the Create Carrier Reference Pool button at the bottom of the page.

Quoting:

MachShip receives the pricing for CTI Logistics via a quoting endpoint. To enable this to occur please upload the rate card format below. (Enter in your carrier account code in the account field). 

Test:

Once the account has been set up and all of the rates have been added, you will need to run a test to ensure that upon go-live, everything will run successfully. To do this, create a consignment - please make Reference 1 and Reference 2 and the delivery special instructions THIS IS A TEST. Once this has been created please manifest the consignment to the carrier. If you experience any issues please contact support@machship.com.

If you receive a successful manifest message from MachShip then please send an email to your account manager and advise them that you are starting to despatch your CTI account through MachShip and that you would like to receive verification that the job has been successfully received. 

Advise your account manager of the connote number and request that they should cancel this to ensure that you are not charged. Please cc integrations@machship.com on this email so we can help if required. 

On confirmation from the support team that the setup is validated, you are free to begin to consign.
