5 key benefits of integration
Automated freight reservations
Transmit your transport orders (road, sea, air) to Kuehne + Nagel via a direct API connection, eliminating manual data entry.
Automatic generation of shipping documents
Instantly issue your consignment notes (CMR) and other compliant freight documents, pre-filled with order data.
End-to-end traceability
Get real-time visibility of the key stages of your shipments, from pick-up to final delivery, directly in your central system.
Data centralization
Consolidate your Kuehne + Nagel shipment information with that of your other carriers for a complete analysis of your performance and costs.
Process reliability
Reduce the risk of human error associated with manual data entry, and ensure that your shipments comply with carrier requirements.
Logistics challenges without an integrated Kuehne Nagel connector
- Manual and inefficient booking processes
Coordinating freight shipments by telephone or e-mail is time-consuming and lacks traceability. Each request, each modification, each confirmation is a manual task that slows down your operations and increases the risk of misunderstandings or errors.
- Creating transport documents: a repetitive task
Completing a consignment note or other freight documents for each shipment is a tedious task. It represents hours of low value-added work for your logistics teams, which could be allocated to more strategic missions.
- Lack of overall visibility on transport flows
Without direct integration, tracking your shipments requires you to consult Kuehne + Nagel’s myKN portal. You don’t have a centralized, consolidated view of all your flows, which makes performance management and proactive communication with your customers extremely difficult.
- Information silos hamper decision-making
Transport data is isolated in the carrier’s system, disconnected from your order and inventory data. This makes it difficult to analyze profitability by product or customer, optimize costs and make informed decisions to improve your supply chain.
FAQ - Frequently asked questions
Our company handles road and air freight. Can the connector handle these different modes of transport?
Yes, the connector is designed to interface with the various services offered by Kuehne + Nagel. Whether you need to book a pallet shipment in Europe by truck, or an urgent shipment by air, the connector can transmit the corresponding transport orders, simplifying the management of your multimodal flows.
Do we use our own Kuehne Nagel contract with integration?
Absolutely. The connection is established via the API keys of your own Kuehne + Nagel account. This guarantees that you retain all your negotiated rates, terms and conditions of service, and your direct relationship with your Kuehne + Nagel contacts. Our platform acts like an automaton to execute your orders.
How is the generation of the consignment note (CMR) automated?
Once your order is ready for shipment in our system, the necessary information (shipper and consignee addresses, number of pallets, weight, description of goods) is automatically used to pre-fill the CMR document. All you have to do is generate it in one click, without any manual input.
Can we track the progress of our freight shipments directly on the platform?
Yes. One of the major benefits is centralized tracking. Key shipment statuses (picked up, in transit, arrived at destination, etc.) are retrieved via the Kuehne + Nagel API and displayed in your dashboard. This gives you real-time visibility without having to connect to an external portal.
