Benefits of B2Bi

• Improved visibility to your shipments: When businesses are well-integrated, the improved connectivity will streamline communication between participants of different operations. As a result, organizations can easily share more information that was previously difficult, costly and/or time-consuming to access. This kind of information allows you to make future business decisions that are based on fact and not on gut or opinion.

• Improved productivity: Rather than having to duplicate data from one place to another and/or wait for information to be sent or keyed in by other departments, employees can now spend more time on crucial tasks that will help the business grow.

B2Bi offerings

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) eliminates paper documents and provides a more efficient, accurate and timely exchange of information in a standardized format. Daylight supports ANSI ASC X12 standards in which all data is communicated between the carrier, shipper, and the consignee in electronic documents called “transaction sets.” The supported transactions are listed below.

204 – Load Tender (Pickup)
You can use the EDI 204 transaction set to tender shipments to Daylight. This set may be used for creating a new pick up request.

210 – Freight Details and Invoice (Invoice)
The 210 transaction is an electronic invoice that Daylight can configure to be sent directly to your organization, a consignee, or a third-party payment center of your choice. These message sets provide an itemized detail of the freight charges, along with other information you would typically find on a paper invoice.
