A couple of years ago, we decided that New Zealand Couriers really needed to change the way in which product was moved. The account management team and operations team were really great to deal with in terms of building that customer solution for us.

We get it, disconnected platforms are frustrating

At New Zealand Couriers, we want our customers to feel in control. In order for that to happen, you need all your business information on one platform.

The problem is, you’re using a siloed platform to manage freight and it doesn’t talk to your other business tools. You begin to feel like you’re doing twice the amount of work. I mean, why would you choose a partner that doesn’t make integration easy?

We hate that when you use disconnected freight platforms you feel like you’re doubling up on your work. That’s why we built an API, so you can connect the platform you want with our data source. That way, you can manage all your freight in one familiar place. Here’s how it works:
