Integrations

Integration-friendly
by design

Your forwarding business doesn’t run on one system — it runs on agents, carriers, customs authorities, banks, and your customers’ tools. Fr8Labs is built to sit in the middle of that network, not wall you off from it.

Open API

Programmatic access to the platform for your own systems and partner builds. The same surface our ecosystem partners integrate against.

Ecosystem services

EDI format bridges

Exchange shipment data with overseas agents and partner forwarders in the formats their systems speak — without re-keying either side.

Community module

Customs bridges

File declarations from shipment data you already entered: TradeWeb CRF in Singapore via CrimsonLogic, Indonesia filing via Envilog, Philippines filing via AI Logistics (VASP). More markets added as forwarders bring their lanes.

Local fit by country

E-invoicing networks

Government e-invoice rails wired into accounting: InvoiceNow (Peppol) in Singapore, LHDN e-Invoice in Malaysia, GST e-Invoice (IRN) in India, ZATCA FATOORA in Saudi Arabia, Coretax in Indonesia. New rails wired in as regional mandates roll out.

Integrated accounting

Payments, insurance & PO rails

Fr8Pay online invoice payments with auto-reconciliation via Airwallex. Embedded cargo insurance via Anthola. Purchase-order tracking via Gravity Supply Chain. More partners join as the ecosystem grows.

Partner ecosystem

Carrier tracking — no integration needed

AI Companion reads carrier websites across 410+ shipping lines and airlines. No per-carrier integration projects, no EDI subscriptions, no carrier contracts to maintain.

Bring your own AI

Connect your AI directly — MCP server

Your team already asks AI assistants about their work. Fr8Labs runs an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, so MCP-compatible assistants — Claude, ChatGPT, and the agent tools your customers adopt next — connect directly: ask your freight analytics in plain English and get the answer with a chart, and edit your own document templates — all governed by the same permissions model as your users. AI at the edge, deterministic core underneath: that’s the architecture position applied to integrations.

Common questions

Does Fr8Labs have an API?

Yes. Fr8Labs exposes an Open API for connecting your own systems and partner tools — the same surface its ecosystem partners (payments, insurance, customs, PO management) integrate against.

Can Fr8Labs exchange data with my overseas agents’ systems?

Yes. EDI format bridges translate shipment data to and from the formats partner forwarders’ systems use, so neither side re-keys jobs.

Does Fr8Labs integrate with customs and tax authorities?

Yes — customs filing bridges cover Singapore (TradeWeb CRF via CrimsonLogic), Indonesia (via Envilog), and the Philippines (via AI Logistics VASP), and government e-invoicing rails are wired in for Singapore (InvoiceNow/Peppol), Malaysia (LHDN), India (GST IRN), Saudi Arabia (ZATCA FATOORA), and Indonesia (Coretax). The list grows as customers bring new lanes — if a customs or tax regime you file under is not yet covered, just ask; it is the kind of thing we add.

Can I connect AI assistants like Claude or ChatGPT to Fr8Labs?

Yes. Fr8Labs runs an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, so MCP-compatible assistants like Claude and ChatGPT connect directly — ask your freight analytics in plain English (read-only, scoped to your company) and edit your own document templates, all under your existing Fr8Labs permissions. You sign in with your own login; the assistant never sees your credentials.

Do I need integrations to track containers and air cargo?

No. AI Companion tracks across 410+ shipping lines and airlines by reading carrier websites directly — no per-carrier integrations or contracts required.
