Map Every Message.
Match Every Partner.

Every trading partner has a slightly different way of sending data. CocoonFMS® maps your business documents to industry standards and partner-specific rules so data flows cleanly between systems.

We handle the structure, validation and field-level transforms needed to exchange freight data reliably, from standard message types to custom mapping requirements.

Cleaner Data Flow

From Partner Spec
To Live Data Flow.

CocoonFMS® can help set up the full data exchange stack, including trading partner profiles, routing, retries, transformations, testing and end-to-end validation.

Whether you need XML to EDIFACT, JSON to CSV, or a custom flow between a client and your transport management system, the aim is the same: reliable, repeatable data exchange.

EDI and API integrations need to be secure, traceable and resilient. CocoonFMS® supports the transport protocols your partners expect, with encryption, logging and controlled access.

EDI Where Needed.
API Where Better.

Modern freight technology often needs a blend of EDI and API. CocoonFMS® connects systems using REST/JSON, webhooks, token-based access and event mapping where real-time updates are needed.

APIs can support integration with ERP platforms, partner portals, client systems and operational tools, while still mirroring legacy EDI flows where required.

🔌 API

🔌

REST / JSON

Connect CocoonFMS® and third-party systems with modern API patterns.

📡

Webhooks

Trigger real-time updates for milestones, shipment events and partner systems.

🔑

Token-Based Access

Use OAuth2 or API keys with rate-limited access where appropriate.

🔀

Event Mapping

Mirror legacy EDI flows with API events where partners need hybrid connectivity.

Bookings, Milestones,
Invoices and More.

Typical freight exchanges include bookings, shipment status updates, milestones, e-AWB, MAWB, HAWB data, manifests, invoices, proof of delivery and customs messages.

Once live, CocoonFMS® can help monitor, troubleshoot and optimise data flows. If a partner changes a specification, mappings can be updated to keep messages moving correctly.
