The P44 for Brokerage Integration
- Fernando Sayago
This integration allows a company to easily communicate with Project 44 from their Extend environment.
Similar to other integrations in our system, its configuration is simple and straightforward (get the required information, populate the fields in the corresponding VIA setup screen, add it to your environment and start using it).
After the integration is created and configured, a series of new options will be presented in VIA to start using it. First, we will have a new option --on the Carriers board-- to add the carriers that can be tracked using this integration:
Then, on the trips boards, user will be prompted to enter a phone number for that load to be tracked --through this integration--when any of those carriers is added to a trip.
Notice that start tracking a load is as simple as:
1- Look for a P44-enabled carrier (you can use the general Search box on the top of the VIA portal).
2- Assign the Carrier to the Load that you need to start tracking (drag and drop the carrier onto the load)
3- Provide a Valid Phone number. A message will be sent to the provided number, asking the driver to get or open the corresponding app.
Also, notice that the integration defines a list of status for the load to be tracked.
