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.

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

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.
