Examples
Example 1 — Create a booking from your ERP
Your planning department enters a transport order in your ERP or TMS.
Your system sends the booking details through our API and within seconds the booking is created in TOP. The confirmation, booking ID and status come straight back into your system — no phone calls, no manual entry, no delays.
Example 2 — Retrieve documents automatically
Your system can request documents such as the booking confirmation, commercial invoice or transport documents directly through the API. As soon as documents are available, your system downloads them automatically and adds them to the correct order or customer file.
What is an API and how does it help your logistics business?
An API enables your logistics organization to automate workflows, reduce manual workload and work with accurate, real-time operational data — all while integrating seamlessly with your existing systems such as ERP, TMS or WMS.
It’s not just a technical feature. It’s a competitive advantage in modern logistics.
An API — short for Application Programming Interface — is a secure digital connection that allows systems to exchange data automatically. Instead of relying on manual exports, uploads or retyping information, API integration ensures your systems always receive the right data at the right time.
Think of an API as a real-time data pipeline between your organization and TOP. It delivers live shipment data, booking updates, documents and operational insights directly into your own environment, enabling faster processes and smarter decision-making.
