We are looking to develop an integration between TOTECS and IFS SmartFreight. IFS SmartFreight allows you to set up relationships with multiple freight carriers. At the time your users checkout in your website TOTECS will query IFS SmartFreight, and have it automatically calculate the price of freight for the order from all your chosen carriers. Either the user can choose from the freight carriers or TOTECS will choose the cheapest price for them. Then once the order is submitted TOTECS it can optionally make a request to IFS SmartFreight to generate a consignment number, and assign the consignment number to the order imported into your accounting/ERP system. Finally once you're ready to pick and pack the order you can use IFS SmartFreight's tools to complete the process in the warehouse and ship out the goods with the chosen carrier.

This integration looks to automate a number of manual processes, whilst removing the need to manage freight rules in the surcharge manager within a TOTECS project's admin interface. If you are looking to save money, time, and reduce errors with freight with the help of IFS SmartFreight, please comment below.
