Statusdata Carrier

General

Status data is used to track the delivery status of a shipment. These are provided by the carriers in many different formats.

In general, the collection proceeds according to the following scheme:

Key points

• When it comes to keeping the data up-to-date, we are dependent on the frequency with which the carrier provides the data. Should this only happen once a day, the data in the HVS and for evaluations will also only be updated once a day.
• You have to communicate with the carriers, as some have to an additional contract for the provision of the status data.
• You can find our standard interface for exporting the data here: Statusdata export default interface

Carrier

Below you will find the information for all the carriers we have implemented. It is described what you have to request / commission from the respective carrier and which information we then need for the setup.

Normally we only need the access data to the server on which the carrier provides the status data.

New Carrier

For a new carrier who is not listed below, we need the following data:

• Specification with example file
• Code table of the various status codes (e.g. the code "del" means delivered)
• Type of which way the data will be provided and the needed access data (SFTP, ...)

-> It is not possible for us to request a web service from the carrier about the current status of the shipment.
