How Does it Work?
Convey is a shipment management platform providing users full visibility to all their shipments and enabling intelligent carrier decisioning for their orders. To learn more about convey visit their home page.
Using the Logicbroker-Convey connector, retailers sending orders to their suppliers can control what carriers are used for the supplier's fulfillment. When enabled a supplier will create a shipment containing all packaging details. This will send to the retailer indicating that the shipment is ready to be picked up.
Once submitted through Logicbroker, the shipment will get created in Convey and a quote for best carrier will be used to choose who will be picking up the shipment. At the same time a request for the carrier to pickup the shipment will be transmitted. Once the request for pickup has been successful, the shipment will be updated with all confirmation details.
