Purchase Orders
Track Fulfillment Without Calling Your Factory

Bookings
Make Booking Forms History
Reduce time spent on manual tasks and improve accuracy in your supply chain. Flexport’s Bookings API can deliver bookings automatically from your system into the Flexport platform. Create a single source of truth for various records, including involved parties, voyage details, cargo details, product and compliance details, and service selections — all without manual data entry.
Shipment Status
Track More Than Your Cargo
With Flexport’s Shipment Status API and support for EDI 315/214/856, you can keep track of your cargo and use the results to analyze your supply chain. Whether you retrieve data on a regular cadence or subscribe to our push-style webhooks, the API helps you record the status of every container and its contents, feed the results into your system, and perform historical analysis to craft better logistics processes and ultimately cut costs.
Invoices
Better Understand Your Supply Chain Costs
Retrieve current and historical invoices through the Flexport Invoices API. Easily determine the payment status, cost and an itemized breakdown of your shipping costs. Flexport also supports sending Invoices for Air and Ocean shipments via EDI 110 and 310 messages respectively.
