Notes

• The implementation of the interface requires, amongst others, a conclusion of a contract between the forwarding company and CargoSteps.

• Forwarding company and transport company must be registered with CargoSteps.
  The relation between you as the forwarding company and your transport company is established by means of an ID number.
  → The ID needs to be added to the address of the forwarding company, see CargoSteps setup

• The login details provided by CargoSoft must be made available to CargoSoft for the deposit in the interface.

• You can only transmit break bulk orders. Containers cannot be commissioned.

• The interface is currently not able to separate clients and branches.
  Login details can only be stored once per company in the interface.

Technical requirements

• An application server that is available within the network and that is accessible for CargoSteps via the internet.

We recommend setting up a subdomain (e.g.: http:\\webhook.cargosoft.de) and transfer the incoming traffic to this application server.

For safety reasons this webhook is secured by a basic authentification.
