Partner file workflows for logistics

Know which carrier and logistics partner files are ready for the next process.

Track scheduled shipment batches, delivery packages, and freight files by partner and period, validate important Excel or CSV tables, and make one accepted input available for authorized download or API retrieval before TMS or operational work begins.

Common logistics exchanges

Control scheduled files across carriers and logistics partners.

Give every recurring exchange a visible due state, partner context, correction history, and accepted handoff.

Shipment-status batches

Collect daily, weekly, or route-cycle status tables with shipment references, dates, and delivery states.

Proof-of-delivery packages

Track expected proof-of-delivery records and supporting files together under the correct carrier and period.

Freight invoices and rate files

Receive structured charge or rate tables with agreed identifiers, amounts, currencies, and duplicate safeguards.

A controlled logistics handoff

Move scheduled carrier files from expectation to accepted operations input.

Operations defines what should arrive; each carrier gets a clear path to submit and correct the expected file.

  1. Define the carrier feed

    Capture the expected file, delivery cadence, and data requirements for each carrier exchange.

  2. Assign carrier access

    Give each carrier or logistics partner a secure, focused place for its submissions.

  3. Open the delivery period

    Track the day, week, route cycle, invoice period, or ad hoc batch.

  4. Keep every submitted version

    Keep each file connected to its partner, delivery period, and correction history.

  5. Return correction details

    Show clear locations and examples so the partner can correct the file and submit a new version.

  6. Release the accepted batch

    Make the accepted original available for authorized download or API retrieval before TMS, billing, or review work begins.

Example shipment-status batch

Validate the fields your logistics process uses next.

Apply transparent rules to every scheduled carrier table before the accepted batch moves forward.

Required shipment fields

Require carrier, shipment, tracking, date, status, and location fields.

Dates and identifiers

Check status dates and identifier formats against the feed contract.

Statuses and locations

Apply accepted delivery statuses, location codes, event types, or other reviewed values.

Duplicate shipment events

Flag repeated shipment, status, date, and location combinations.

Operational visibility

Know what is due, what needs attention, and what is ready.

See every expected carrier period and accepted version in one place, without maintaining a separate delivery tracker.

Built for scheduled logistics files

Use DTO Flow where logistics operations depend on recurring partner batches.

Start with a known file whose arrival, structure, and accepted version matter to an existing logistics process.

  • A carrier or logistics partner submits the same batch by day, week, route, or invoice period.
  • Your operations team can define a usable file and follow-up process.
  • Important content is a CSV table or selected Excel worksheet.
  • TMS, operations, billing, or review teams begin with the accepted input.

Questions logistics teams ask

Before replacing carrier attachments and tracking sheets.

Can a feed include a status table and supporting delivery files?

Yes. Keep the complete delivery package together and apply detailed checks to the Excel or CSV status table your logistics process relies on.

How is a corrected carrier batch handled?

The correction becomes a new submission. Earlier files remain visible and the later accepted batch becomes current.

How does the accepted batch reach TMS or operations?

Authorized users can download the accepted batch, or an approved integration can retrieve it through the API for a TMS or operations process.

How does this work alongside live logistics systems?

DTO Flow prepares dependable scheduled partner files for the TMS or operational system where your team manages live logistics.

Start with one carrier feed

Know whether the next logistics partner file is ready to use.

Define the expected batch and give the partner one clear path through submission, correction, and acceptance.
