How does Blue TA work with Blue Integrator?
Blue TA is based on the Blue Integrator integration platform. Blue Integrator acts as the hub for data communication between ERP systems, transport administration functions, and external carriers. By using Blue Integrator as the integration platform, data on shipments, articles, customer information, and bookings flows automatically into Blue TA, without the need for manual handling.
This means that when an order is registered in the ERP system and then shipped from the WMS, all necessary information can be sent directly to Blue TA to generate transport labels, book freight, and inform the carrier. Any changes in carrier services or business logic are handled centrally in Blue Integrator, ensuring Blue TA always works with updated and correct information.
The result is a stable, flexible, and automated solution that minimizes errors and saves time throughout the delivery chain.
"We quickly and easily replaced our old system with Blue TA. Now we avoid downtime, and the investment paid for itself in just five months."
