Automate Freight Operations with Carrierpoint Integrations
Connect Carrierpoint to your ERP, TMS, WMS, and business tools to handle freight quoting, shipment tracking, and carrier management without manual data entry.
What can you do with the Carrierpoint connector?
Carrierpoint is a freight marketplace and transportation management platform that connects shippers with carriers for LTL, truckload, and intermodal shipping. Integrating Carrierpoint with your existing systems cuts out the manual work of copying shipment data, chasing carrier quotes, and updating order statuses across disconnected platforms. With tray.ai, logistics teams can build end-to-end freight automation workflows that keep supply chain data accurate and operations moving.
Automate & integrate Carrierpoint
Automating Carrierpoint business processes or integrating Carrierpoint data is made easy with Tray.ai.
Use case
Automated Freight Quote Retrieval and Comparison
When a new order is created in your ERP or WMS, tray.ai can automatically trigger a quote request in Carrierpoint, retrieve multiple carrier rates, and surface the best options back into your order management system. Logistics coordinators no longer have to manually log into Carrierpoint and re-enter shipment details for every order.
- Cut quote turnaround time from hours to minutes by triggering rate requests automatically
- Eliminate manual data re-entry between your OMS and Carrierpoint
- Compare carrier rates programmatically and route to preferred carriers based on cost or transit time rules
Use case
Real-Time Shipment Status Sync
Keep your internal systems, customer portals, and stakeholders updated with live shipment status from Carrierpoint without anyone manually checking the portal. tray.ai polls or webhooks Carrierpoint for status changes and pushes updates to Salesforce, NetSuite, Slack, or any connected system.
- Proactively notify customers and internal teams when shipments are picked up, in transit, or delivered
- Reduce inbound 'where is my shipment' inquiries by pushing status updates to customer-facing systems
- Maintain a single source of truth for shipment status across ERP, CRM, and helpdesk tools
Use case
Carrier Booking Automation
Once a preferred carrier and rate are selected — either automatically by business rules or by a human approver — tray.ai can book the shipment in Carrierpoint, generate the BOL, and push confirmation details back to the originating order. That closes the loop between order management and freight execution.
- Accelerate time-to-book by automating carrier selection and booking confirmation
- Ensure BOL data is automatically archived in your document management or ERP system
- Reduce booking errors caused by manual copy-paste between systems
Use case
Invoice Reconciliation and Freight Audit
Automatically pull carrier invoices and freight charges from Carrierpoint and reconcile them against your purchase orders or shipment records in your ERP. Flag discrepancies — accessorial charges, rate mismatches, anything off — for review before payment approval, so overcharges get caught before they go through.
- Catch billing discrepancies before invoice payment by automating three-way matching
- Reduce manual audit time for high-volume LTL shipments
- Feed reconciled freight costs directly into financial systems for accurate landed cost tracking
Use case
Carrier Performance Monitoring and Reporting
Pull on-time delivery data, claim rates, and transit time performance from Carrierpoint shipment history and feed it into your BI tool or data warehouse. Build automated weekly or monthly carrier scorecards that inform procurement decisions and carrier negotiations.
- Replace manual spreadsheet reporting with automated carrier performance dashboards
- Spot underperforming carriers before service failures reach customers
- Share carrier scorecards with procurement teams automatically via email or Slack
Use case
Exception Management and Delay Alerting
Monitor shipments in Carrierpoint for exception events — missed pickups, weather delays, refused deliveries — and automatically route alerts to the right team members via Slack, email, or SMS. Create tickets in Zendesk or ServiceNow for exceptions that need intervention.
- Detect and escalate shipment exceptions before they turn into customer complaints
- Route alerts to the correct operations or customer success team based on shipment priority or customer tier
- Automatically log exceptions to your TMS or ERP for audit trail purposes

Challenges Tray.ai solves
Common obstacles when integrating Carrierpoint — and how Tray.ai handles them.
Challenge
No Native Integration Between Carrierpoint and ERP or WMS Systems
Most ERP and WMS platforms don't have prebuilt connectors to freight marketplaces like Carrierpoint, so logistics teams end up manually transferring shipment data, quote requests, and booking confirmations between systems. That manual work is error-prone and creates real delays in high-volume shipping environments.
How Tray.ai helps
tray.ai has a Carrierpoint connector alongside connectors for leading ERPs, WMS platforms, and databases, so teams can build automated data pipelines that move shipment data in both directions without custom development or manual intervention.
Challenge
Keeping Multiple Systems in Sync with Live Shipment Data
Shipment status changes constantly throughout the lifecycle of a freight move. Keeping CRM, ERP, customer portals, and internal dashboards current means someone has to keep checking the Carrierpoint portal — a time-consuming task that usually results in stale data downstream.
How Tray.ai helps
tray.ai supports both scheduled polling and event-driven triggers to detect Carrierpoint status changes and push them out to all connected systems at once, so every downstream tool reflects the latest shipment state without human intervention.
Challenge
Complex Data Mapping Between Freight-Specific and Business Data Models
Carrierpoint uses freight-specific data schemas — freight class, NMFC codes, accessorial charges, carrier SCAC codes — that don't map directly to standard fields in CRMs, ERPs, or e-commerce platforms. Building and maintaining these mappings manually puts a real technical burden on operations teams.
How Tray.ai helps
tray.ai's visual data mapper and JSONPath transformation tools let teams define complex field mappings once and reuse them across all workflows, handling freight-to-business data translation without engineering resources or custom code.
Automatically create a freight quote request in Carrierpoint whenever a new sales order is created in NetSuite or SAP, then return the best rate to the order record for approval.
Poll Carrierpoint for shipment status updates on a scheduled interval and push status changes into Salesforce opportunities or cases, triggering customer notification emails when key milestones are hit.
End-to-end automation that takes a fulfilled Shopify order, books freight through Carrierpoint, and writes the tracking number and carrier information back to the Shopify order.
Automatically retrieve new Carrierpoint carrier invoices, match them against NetSuite purchase orders, flag discrepancies, and route exceptions for human review before payment.
Monitor active Carrierpoint shipments for exception statuses and automatically create Zendesk support tickets and Slack alerts to keep operations and customer success teams informed in real time.
