BrokerWare Integration Tools

Overview

BrokerWare provides a webservice API interface for integrating the application into your systems. The service can be used to create shipments, track existing shipments and run rate quotes.

Using this system requires that an SSID is provided by our staff. Once you have the SSID it should be used as the first parameter of each function call made to the service.

The URL for the web service is:
/App_BW/services/CustomerShippingService.svc

For SOAP 1.1 and HTTP post the URL for the web service is:
/App_BW/services/CustomerShippingService.svc/post

A WSDL file can be obtained at the same URL.
