Cameron's Transport has two integrations that users can utilise. When looking to set up a new account with Camerons, you will need to confirm with your account manager if your account is set to book via emails or via FTP integration. 

Once your account manager has confirmed the version you will use, you can then set the integration method to be one of the below:

Camerons Integration

This will allow your account to book jobs via email. If your account is set to book via email, the only specific options needed are the following:

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

Consignment Prefix - this can be any 3 letter prefix you desire.

Reference Pools - Reference pools are utilised by MachShip in order to maintain a count on connotes, manifests 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. This integration requires the creation of just 1 reference pool, for the Connote number.

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

If you are creating a new account then the Reference Pools will be set to the following fields:

Pool Name - Set as Cameron's Transport Connote <Account Code> 
Minimum Value - 1
Maximum Value - 999999 (that is seven 9's)
Next Available Reference -  1
Cyclical - No

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 Cameron's Transport account through MachShip and that you would like to receive verification on the test file and permission to start to trade. Please include the label pdf's for the manifest, connote and the items.

Advise the support team 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.
