How 3PL Tracking Works Behind the Scenes

Tracking in today’s transportation environment depends on carrier APIs. These APIs are the backbone of real-time updates in logistics. They pull live data directly from the carrier and relay it to platforms like ViewPoint TMS.

While most carriers provide reliable API connections, some of the smaller regional carriers may experience delays or gaps in data. That’s why TLI ensures robust integration to maximize tracking accuracy, however this is coupled with terrific talent that can aid you.

Whether you’re using TLI’s customer service team, ViewPoint TMS or our online tracking portal tool, understanding API functionality can improve your expectations of what the carriers estimated arrival time is. Our team remains readily available here to help clarify and streamline this process.
