Uniteam Group reports that it has partnered with Coneksion to provide integrated ocean carrier connectivity within its transport management system, MagnaShip.
The cooperation will allow Uniteam Group customers to manage the ocean freight messaging cycle directly within the TMS, including booking requests and confirmations, shipping instructions, VGM submissions and real-time track and trace.
The integration is built on Coneksion’s RAPIDS Carrier Connectivity Layer, which provides access to a network of pre-connected ocean carriers through a single API. This approach removes the need for individual point-to-point integrations with those carriers and allows data to be shared through one connection.
Uniteam Group says that this shift will allow its engineering teams to focus on product development and customer workflows rather than carrier-specific integrations.
Coneksion also manages message and data harmonisation as part of a managed service, translating carrier-specific formats and rules into the data model required by Uniteam Group. New message types or carriers can be introduced without changes to Uniteam Group’s core platform.
“With carrier connectivity delivered as a managed service, MagnaShip customers can execute the full ocean messaging cycle – from booking to shipping instructions, VGM and track and trace – directly in one workflow, without costly point-to-point integrations,” said Michael Sandberg, Partner & COO, Uniteam Group.
“That lets Uniteam keep engineering focus on product experience and customer outcomes.”
