Duffy Express Freight are currently updating their IT systems in order to import data from manifest files received by email.
We recognise that received data files will be in a variety of formats, and are therefore planning to convert email attachments using custom conversion software before importing into our booking system.
We would prefer the following file types:
- Delimited text files, such as comma separated, tab separated and pipe separated
We can, with some sucess, import the following file types:
- PDFs created using Crystal Reports
- Azrya Freight System PDFs (Crystal Reports)
- Microsoft Word documents up to 2003
- Microsoft Excel spreadsheets up to 2003
All files should contain at least the following separate fields for each booking:
- Customer Reference
- Deliver To
- Deliver Address 1
- Deliver Address 2
- Deliver Address 3
- Deliver Address 4
- Deliver Address 5
- Packs
- Weight
- Unit Type
- Driver Instructions
Additionally, we would require a way of uniquely identifying the invoicee from the file, such as, an extra field containing the customer code on our system, the name of the file being recognisable, etc.
