1. dayross.com
Our web-based shipping platform (dayross.com) helps you automate many of the activities required to create a shipment, request a quote, check transit times, manage your invoices or shipping documents, and generate custom reports.
With no setup cost, an intuitive customer portal, and 24/7 access, this solution provides the convenience of online shipping complemented by the ability to chat with one of our customer service agents. You can choose to use your own labels, print the BOL (Bill of Lading) and labels created with your shipment, get status updates on your shipments, and upload address books to easily manage your orders.
This automated solution helps you gain efficiencies, save time, and digitize your shipping activities from quote to invoice to proof of delivery.
2. API (Application Programming Interface)
API is a cloud-based solution that allows your website or business software to interact with the Day & Ross system for faster data exchange and real-time updates. Functions that would take hours to complete through other methods can be done in minutes through API.
The simplicity of API makes it the first choice for many shippers who are looking for a scalable solution that can easily connect with ERP or TMS systems already in place, is compatible with future technologies, allows for pickup requests to be automated, and accelerates supply chain visibility.
API makes it easy for you to create a shipment, obtain a quote (intra-Canada or US), get copies of your shipping documents, and retrieve invoices and shipment status information; all done through your own interface that your employees are already familiar with. No training required.
3. Shipping Platform*
If you need web/e-store integration, a shipping manifest, and want to batch import your orders, our Shipping Platform is the right solution. The cloud-based platform is easy to use and can be accessed online after our Data Integration team sets up an account for you. More to follow.
*Available in 2025
4. EDI (Electronic Data Interchange)
EDI is an electronic interchange method that uses a standardized format and works through a connection to a secure FTP (File Transfer Protocol). EDI becomes easily outdated, it requires an initial developer set-up cost and ongoing service costs to ensure FTP compatibility between you and Day & Ross. Data transmission times are much longer compared to other solutions.
