Working at AEB
With AEB's "Carrier Connect" product, shippers can digitally integrate transport service providers (freight forwarders or parcel services) such as UPS, DHL, DB Schenker or Dachser into their logistics processes. Carrier Connect offers APIs for integration into ERP systems, web shops or warehouse management systems and is provided as a service from the AEB Cloud. The system provides users with an interface (API) to over 200 transport service providers as of August 2022.
Many Transport service providers offer an extensive range of services (express, delivery at specific times, document services, etc.) and additional services (Saturday delivery, cash on delivery, delivery by hoist, etc.). These services and additional services are implemented in Carrier Connect and various conditions such as weight limits of packages, combinatorics of services and additional services or permitted areas must be considered.
A transportation service provider connection usually delivers the following output:
- Label - Is applied to the package or pallet and is used for identification
- EDI - Contains the transport-relevant data for the packages/pallets that are sent
- Manifest / Loading list - Is a document with a summary of all packages/pallets that a driver collects from the shipper
