XML EDI Integration – Website to Mainfreight (Freman) for Freight Booking and Labels Description We are looking for a developer to implement an XML-based EDI integration between our website and Mainfreight’s Freman freight management system. The goal is to allow our website to automatically create freight consignments when an order is ready to ship. Important: We do NOT need freight quoting. The integration only needs to support freight booking, manifest creation, and label generation. Scope of Work The developer will need to: • Generate XML manifest files based on Mainfreight’s Freman XML specification • Map order data from our website to the required XML fields (sender, receiver, items, weight, cubic, etc.) • Automatically create a consignment when an order is dispatched • Send the XML to Mainfreight via their EDI upload method (SFTP preferred) • Ensure the shipment is successfully created in Freman • Enable printing or retrieval of consignment labels/documents We already have the official Freman XML specification document that defines the required fields and structure. Deliverables • Working XML generation from website order data • Automated consignment booking in Mainfreight • Manifest creation • Label/consignment document generation Technical Notes The XML format includes elements such as: • Message header • Consignment details • Sender and receiver information • Line items (items, weight, cubic) • Freight terms and service type The developer must follow the provided XML schema exactly so it can be successfully imported into Freman. Requirements • Experience working with XML integrations • Experience with EDI or logistics/shipping APIs preferred • Ability to integrate with external systems via API or SFTP Please include in your proposal: 1. Relevant experience with EDI or shipping integrations 2. Estimated time to complete 3. Questions about the specification if anything is unclear Project budget Open to proposals. We expect this to be a relatively small integration since the XML specification is already provided.

Hello, I understand you need a clean, robust XML EDI integration between your Shopify site and Mainfreight Freman for freight booking, manifest creation, and label generation. I will build a precise XML generator aligned to Freman’s specification, map order data (sender, receiver, items, weight, cubic, etc.), and automatically create consignments when an order ships. The solution will transmit XML via SFTP (or your preferred method), verify successful creation in Freman, and provide printable labels and documents. The approach keeps changes isolated, uses clear error handling, and includes logging for traceability. Questions I will ask to ensure solid delivery: What are the exact Freman XML fields you must map for sender/receiver and item data, and do you require any custom extensions? What is your current Shopify data model for shipments, and how should we trigger the manifest/consignment flow on dispatch? Do you have any security or network constraints for SFTP (host, credentials rotate policy, TLS, etc.) and any preferred SFTP server setup? What are the exact Freman XML fields you must map for sender/receiver and item data, and do you require any custom extensions? Best regards,

Hi I have strong experience with XML/EDI integrations, SFTP-based data exchange, and logistics workflows involving consignment creation, manifest processing, and shipping document handling. The main technical risk in this project is incorrect XML mapping or schema compliance, which can cause Freman to reject consignments or generate incomplete freight records. I can implement a reliable integration layer that maps your website order data into Mainfreight’s required XML structure, validates all mandatory fields, and automates consignment creation when an order is dispatched. I can also handle the SFTP delivery workflow, file generation, status checks, and error logging so bookings are traceable and operationally safe. For manifest and label handling, I can build the process to support document retrieval or printing in a way that fits your existing dispatch flow. My background includes working with structured XML schemas, shipment data mapping, warehouse/fulfilment logic, and external system integrations where strict field accuracy is critical. Since your Freman XML specification is already available, I can focus directly on schema-compliant generation, transport, and successful import behavior rather than discovery work. I can also review your current website order structure and design the integration so future carrier extensions remain possible without rewriting the core shipping logic. Thanks, Hercules

Hi, I see you're looking for expertise in XML EDI integration with Mainfreight's Freman system for freight booking and label generation. With over three years of experience in EDI and API integrations, I've successfully implemented similar projects that automate the shipping process while ensuring compliance with XML specifications. To tackle your project, I will first analyze the provided XML schema and then create the necessary manifest files by mapping your website's order data accurately. This will enable automatic consignment bookings and generate required shipping labels seamlessly. A suggestion would be to implement logging for easier troubleshooting and tracking of the integration process. In a previous role, I implemented a comparable EDI integration for a logistics company, reducing processing times significantly. I estimate this project would take around 5-7 days.

Hi there, I’m Ivaylo, a Shopify and XML/EDI integration specialist. I’ve delivered end-to-end freight integrations that generate Freman XML manifests, book consignments via SFTP, and produce print-ready labels, all while keeping data mappings clean and auditable. Your project is a well-scoped, low-friction integration: take order data from Shopify, map sender/receiver, weight, cubic, and line items into the Freman XML structure, and automatically book the consignment when an order ships. My approach: - Implement a strict Freman XML schema adapter that produces valid manifests, consignments, and labels on every order payload. - Build robust data mapping from Shopify orders (customer, address, items, weight, cubic) to the Freman fields; include validation and unit tests. - Automate the end-to-end flow: on dispatch trigger, generate XML, push via SFTP to Mainfreight, and confirm receipt/booking status. - Include error handling, retries, and clear logs for auditing; provide a small integration guide for your team. Deliverables: working XML generator, automated consignment booking, manifest creation, and label/doc production; plus basic reconciliation checks and post-go-live support. Assuming a standard Freman XML version and an SFTP upload method, I can propose a compact delivery in roughly one to two weeks, depending on environment access and credential readiness. I’ll align with your existing data structures and ensure the XML is imported cleanly into Freman. Best reg

Hello, Greetings! of the day. I have checked Mainfreight (Freman) XML specification document. I have strong experience in integrating e‑commerce platforms with logistics providers.

Hello, I can implement your Shopify-to-Mainfreight (Freman) XML EDI integration to automate freight booking, manifest creation, and label generation. The system will map order data from your website to the XML fields per Freman’s specification, generate the manifest, and transmit it via SFTP to create consignments automatically when orders are dispatched. Labels and consignment documents will be retrievable for printing. I have experience with XML integrations and EDI workflows in logistics systems. The solution will strictly follow the provided XML schema, ensuring all consignments are successfully processed in Freman. The workflow will be fully automated, reliable, and maintainable, with clear documentation for future updates. Questions: 1. Should the integration handle batch dispatches or process orders individually as they are ready? 2. Are there specific error-handling or retry rules required for failed XML submissions? Thanks, Asif
