Integration

Connect InboundShipments with MercuryGate TMS

The planned MercuryGate integration is designed to unify inbound shipment tracking with transportation management. Sync carrier assignments, track multi-leg freight, and capture costs automatically between InboundShipments and MercuryGate.

Planned integration capabilities

These features are on our roadmap to connect InboundShipments PO visibility with MercuryGate transportation execution.

Carrier and Shipment Data Sync

The planned integration is designed to pull carrier assignments, PRO numbers, and shipment status updates from MercuryGate into InboundShipments, creating a unified view of inbound freight across ocean, truck, and intermodal moves.

Freight Cost Synchronization

Upcoming freight cost sync will import rated shipment costs from MercuryGate into InboundShipments invoice management, enabling accurate landed cost allocation at the PO and line-item level without manual cost entry.

Multi-Leg Shipment Tracking

MercuryGate manages complex multi-leg shipments across carriers and modes. The planned integration will stitch these legs together in InboundShipments so teams see a single end-to-end tracking timeline for each inbound shipment.

Bi-Directional Status Updates

The roadmap includes bi-directional data flow so InboundShipments shipment milestones and ETA updates from ocean carrier tracking are visible within MercuryGate, giving transportation planners a more complete picture of inbound pipeline status.

Carrier Performance Analytics

By combining MercuryGate carrier data with InboundShipments delivery tracking, the planned integration will power carrier scorecards that measure on-time performance, transit time accuracy, and claims history across your inbound freight network.

Delay and Exception Notifications

When MercuryGate detects a carrier delay or appointment change, the planned integration will surface that exception in InboundShipments alongside the affected POs, so procurement and receiving teams can respond before the delay impacts operations.

Why connecting InboundShipments and MercuryGate matters

Bridging inbound logistics and transportation management eliminates the data silos that create blind spots in your supply chain.

1

Unify inbound visibility across procurement and transportation

Procurement teams track POs in InboundShipments while transportation teams manage carriers in MercuryGate. The planned integration will connect these workflows so both teams share the same shipment status, ETA, and cost data without switching between platforms.

2

Automate freight cost capture for landed cost accuracy

Manually entering freight rates from your TMS into your inbound logistics system is error-prone and time-consuming. The planned integration will automate this data flow, ensuring every shipment in InboundShipments carries accurate, up-to-date freight costs from MercuryGate.

3

Reduce coordination overhead between logistics teams

When carrier assignments and tracking data sync automatically, logistics coordinators spend less time on status calls, email chains, and spreadsheet updates. The planned integration lets the data flow between systems while your team focuses on managing exceptions.

4

Gain end-to-end visibility from PO to delivery

InboundShipments tracks the commercial and receiving side of inbound logistics, while MercuryGate manages transportation execution. Connecting the two creates a complete view from purchase order creation through carrier assignment, in-transit tracking, and final goods receipt.
