A new DX Freight integration has been added to SAPIENT to enhance your shipping experience with improved functionality and efficiency.

In the scope of the DX Freight integration, the following features have been integrated into SAPIENT:

  • Shipping Account screen. Seamlessly manage your DX Freight shipping accounts.
  • Tracking Account screen. Create tracking accounts and webhook to receive tracking updates from DX via the tracking webhook functionality.
  • Label Integration. Configure the label integration with DX Freight and print your shipping labels using the Print Label API endpoint.

INTERSOFT offers shipping services from different countries to the United Kingdom via Royal Mail; however, Royal Mail's inability to identify shipment contents before arrival has created unexpected traffic. To address this, a new International Arrivals Containers API service has been implemented by INTERSOFT. With this service, you can now link receptacle (bag) IDs with shipment tracking numbers by creating containers. Before constructing these containers, configuration of a Customer Number and Barcode Range is required, and to configure that, a new International Arrivals Container Settings screen has been added to SAPIENT.

The Yodel integration in Sapient has been updated with additional services, allowing Yodel customers to select and use these services for shipment creation. This integration ensures a consistent user experience by aligning with Yodel's latest specifications and maintaining compatibility with existing services. The new services are incorporated into the database, reflected in the GetCarrierServices API response, and displayed on generated shipment labels, facilitating effective onboarding of new clients and helping Yodel stay competitive.
