The problem

The order in the ERP, the reality at the loading dock

Two worlds that currently meet via email and phone. Your team bridges the gap, manually, every single day.

Inquiries cost your teams too much time

When will the goods arrive? Which order does the delivery note belong to? Your team spends time chasing information instead of managing operations.

Transport bookings without order references

The carrier books a slot, but the ERP knows nothing about it. Someone has to manually reconcile quantities and dates.

No transparency regarding supplier performance

Which supplier delivers on time and in full? Without OTD and OTIF data, you are just relying on gut feeling.

Features in detail

From CSV to API: Start with the flexibility you need

Features that bring orders, shipping notifications, and delivery notes together.

Easily import order data into the system

The problem: Order data is stuck in the ERP, while logistics works with email inboxes and spreadsheets. Meanwhile, the interface has been in the IT backlog for months.

With TradeLink: Orders, including line items, flow into TradeLink via CSV or API. The system remembers your data format, every field is searchable down to the line-item level, and your suppliers are automatically matched with the company database.

One CSV per week is enough to get started. The API comes when your process requires it.

Know the status of your order at all times

The problem: When will the goods arrive? What is still missing? Your team spends time chasing down orders, and the ERP only reflects the order confirmation.

With TradeLink: Every order line item has a clear status: advised, delivered, or pending. Shortages and delays are spotted immediately, not just at month-end closing.

Reports are based on actual arrival at the dock, not on ERP entries.

Automatically assign delivery notes correctly

The problem: Delivery notes arrive via email, as uploads, or as DESADV. Your team manually types in order and item numbers and reconciles quantities by hand.

With TradeLink: AI identifies order and item numbers in documents and assigns line items and quantities to the correct shipment. TradeLink processes clear matches automatically. Only exceptions are sent to your team for approval.

Partners book directly against the correct order

The problem: Free-text fields lead to typos and incorrect references. Your warehouse only knows for sure what is arriving once it is being unloaded.

With TradeLink: The user selects from open orders, with the assigned supplier pre-selected. The Booking Pilot reads uploaded shipping documents and pre-fills the booking details.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do we need an IT project to get started?

No. One CSV per week via drag-and-drop is enough to get started. TradeLink remembers your data format, and the real-time API can be added whenever your process requires it.

In welchem Paket ist der Bestell-Manager enthalten?

Available as an add-on in the Collaborate package and included in the Automate package. Pricing is based on site size and transport volume; your TradeLink team will calculate the specific costs for your case.

What do suppliers and carriers need for this?

Just the link. Partners can book against the order number for free and without needing to log in. Those who want to dive deeper can connect via web or EDI.

Where do the OTD and OTIF data come from?

From the actual arrival at the ramp rather than from ERP entries. Reports for each supplier are generated during ongoing operations without any extra maintenance.

How do delivery notes get into the system?

Via email, as an upload in the portal, or as a DESADV via EDI. The AI extracts order and item numbers and assigns them; your team decides on any exceptions.
