The integration setup between MachShip and Capital Transport involves the booking of consignment via an API call. Tracking functionality has then been enabled for all MachShip clients without the need to provide any credentials.

As a result, all that needs to be provided for the specific options for Capital Transport are the Account Code and API Token.

Set the Auto ETA and Auto Pricing flags as Yes.

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

API Token – this will be provided to you by MachShip team. You will send them an email requesting for the API Token, you will need to provide them with Account Code and the state your account is based in. You can contact them at support@machship.com.

MachShip will also need to see written approval from your Capital Transport account manager that you are entitled to access their system via the API.

Optional Tracking SMS and Tracking Email:
If you wish to allow for the account to send an SMS to the receiver of collection of the goods - or to send an email of the POD on completion to the receiver then you can set the flags below to be YES

Note: The Sms messages from Capital Transport are separate from any SMS setup that is created within the MachShip Platform

Ratecard:

Capital Transport is configured to price off the Carriers System and as such you will need setup and upload the ratecard as per below format. This will contain all the bookable services provided by your account manager.

Notes:

1. Set your Account Code in the Ratecard field

2. Please set the from zone and to zone as being one of:

SYD_METRO

MEL_METRO

BNE_METRO

PER_METRO

ADL_METRO

Please note you can add in extra services as required

Test:

Once the carrier account has been set up and all the rates are 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 special instructions for the pickup and for the delivery to THIS IS A TEST. Once this has been created it will automatically manifest the consignment to the carrier. If you experience any issues please contact support@machship.com.

If you receive a successful creation message from MachShip then please call Capital Transport and advise that you are starting to despatch your Capital Account through MachShip and that you would like to receive verification on the test file (please provide them with the job number). Also, advise them that this is just a test and that you require the job be canceled so that you are not charged and the driver doesn't arrive. Please cc integrations@machship.com on this email so we can help if required. 

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