3PLs running separate TMS, WMS and ERP platforms across sites
Use case
TMS, WMS and ERP integration for logistics operations
Connect transport, warehouse and finance systems so orders, inventory, shipments and billing data move reliably between TMS, WMS and ERP without manual re-keying or conflicting records.
Use case
Who this is for
Manufacturers and distributors with warehouse and transport silos
Operations teams reconciling shipment, inventory and invoice data manually
IT leaders planning integration before portal, dashboard or AI initiatives
Use case
Problems it solves
- 01
Manual transfer of orders and shipment data between systems
- 02
Inventory and dispatch mismatches discovered after cutoff
- 03
Billing delays when POD, weight or accessorial data is missing in ERP
- 04
No reliable audit trail across system boundaries
Use case
What the first version can include
Entity mapping for orders, shipments, SKUs, locations and partners
Event-driven sync for milestones, inventory moves and status changes
Validation rules and exception queues for failed or partial payloads
Idempotent processing and replay for reliable batch and API flows
Integration monitoring with freshness indicators and alert thresholds
Documentation and runbooks for ops and IT support teams

MVP
Start small: MVP first
- Discovery and entity mapping for orders, shipments and inventory
- One primary flow: order release from ERP or OMS to WMS and TMS
- Inbound milestone or dispatch confirmation from WMS to TMS
- Exception queue with logistics company review and manual replay
- Monitoring dashboard for sync status and last successful run
Scale
Scale later
- Bidirectional inventory and allocation sync across sites
- Carrier and customer EDI/API connectivity through the same layer
- Automated ERP invoicing from TMS rating and accessorial data
- Event stream for dashboards, portals and analytics consumers
- Self-service mapping tools for ops-led configuration changes
Common questions
Do you integrate with our specific TMS, WMS and ERP vendors?
4RTY works with common logistics platforms through APIs, EDI and file-based patterns. Discovery confirms available endpoints, auth models and data gaps for your stack.
Should we use EDI or APIs?
It depends on partner and vendor capabilities. Many operations use APIs internally and EDI or SFTP for external partners, often within the same integration architecture.
How do you handle integration failures during peak season?
Validation, idempotent processing, exception queues and replay tooling keep failures visible and recoverable without silent data loss.
Can integration support future portal and dashboard projects?
Yes. A well-modeled integration layer becomes the data foundation for customer portals, control towers and automation workflows.
