Freightview

StarShip connects to the freightview.com transportation management system to provide multi-carrier rating, tendering, tracking and pickup requests for LTL shipments. You can print the BOL, package and pallet labels directly from StarShip. Account setup with StarShip requires that you already have a Freightview subscription.

To set up Freightview in StarShip, you will first need to log into your account on Freightview and retrieve the Account API Key.

Get the API Key

1. Log in to freightview.com and click your company name in the right-hand corner.
2. Under the Account Settings menu on the left, select API Keys.
3. Use the “Copy to Clipboard” functionality to copy the User API key.
   
   
   

Add the Account in StarShip

The next step is to set up your Freightview account in StarShip.

1. Select Setup > Carrier Interface > Freightview.
2. Click the Accounts tab, and select the Add... button.
   
   
   
   
   
   
3. Enter a name that will identify this account in StarShip. It can be any name you want. In the API Key field, paste the User API Key that you copied in the previous steps.
4. You can enable the option to "Request Shipment Pickup", which allows the shipment (once processed) to be scheduled for pickup via the Internet.
   
   
   
   
   
   
5. Click OK to add the account.

Freightview Settings

Main Tab

The Main tab consists of two general Freightview settings that you can configure :

• Disable use of Freightview  :  Check this option if you do not want users to be able to rate or ship with Freightview.
• Enable background tracking : Background tracking collects shipment data so that you can look up delivery information for past shipments and generate late deliveries reports from the StarShip Dashboard.
  Background tracking must be generally enabled for StarShip in the StarShip Server under Tools > Options > Background Tracking. It can then be enabled/disabled for each individual carrier in carrier setup.

Carriers Tab

On the Carriers tab, you can add or delete supported carriers.

To add, click the Add button.

On the next dialog, place a check mark next to each carrier you want to use with Freightview, and click OK.

Accounts Tab

Once you've added an account, you can configure Billing and Tendering under Carrier Account Settings.

• Default Prepaid Billing Type: This is the default Billing Type for shipments that are paid for by the shipper. You can select from Sender or any other 3PL that you set up in Maintain > 3PL. These settings affect the options available for Billing in the Transportation section of the Ship screen.
• Tendering Type: The choices are Electronic, Call or Daily Pickup. For the last two options, you must contact the carrier directly.
• Disabled : Check the Disabled check box to disable this carrier when shipping with your Freightview account. Once disabled, you will not be able to rate or ship using this carrier and it will not be available in the Carrier drop-down field while processing a Freightview shipment.
