Web Connect+
Carrier client characteristics: Carriers that service more than 50 loads per year within the e2open Transportation Management for shippers application but do not have the volume or business case to require EDI or API connectivity
Pricing: Two pricing tiers based on annual load volume and inclusive of all SCAC codes
What’s included: Access to the Web Connect user interface (UI), Basic Carrier Scorecard, Certified Carrier Program eligibility, Procurement Discovery eligibility, and “Member of e2open Carrier Marketplace” logo for use on the carrier’s website
What’s not included: EDI integration and API integration
Overview: The Web Connect+ level in e2open Carrier Marketplace includes the same world-class web portal UI that carriers connected to the e2open Transportation Management for shippers application have always enjoyed. This level is available for carriers who are connected within the e2open transportation ecosystem but do not require integration via EDI or API.
Carriers selecting Web Connect+ also receive the Basic Carrier Scorecard on a quarterly basis. This first-of-its-kind program enables carriers to see their performance across all the shippers they service. The scorecard measures a wide range of KPIs, including On-Time Delivery, Tender Acceptance, Performance variance as compared to the e2open Road Freight Market Index, and more.
Performance on the Carrier Scorecard can also qualify a carrier for the Certified Carrier Program in the e2open transportation ecosystem. There are three levels of certification—Silver, Gold, and Platinum—to distinguish the highest-performing carriers. For the first time, e2open is putting data at the center of what has traditionally been an emotional or anecdotal decision for shippers.
Certified Carriers will be eligible for Procurement Discovery, a program designed to allow shippers to connect to high-performing carriers within the e2open network. Shippers will also have the ability to filter according to specific carrier profile attributes to narrow down potential invitees to procurement events. The combination of performance-driven certification and profile filtering will provide shippers with more straightforward criteria for inviting carriers of interest to events while giving high-performing carriers an opportunity to be invited more often and receive more awards than in the past.
Carriers enrolled in Web Connect+ also receive a “Member of e2open Carrier Marketplace” logo graphic that can be displayed on their website.
Carriers at this level receive many program benefits but do not take advantage of the tight system integration via EDI and/or API connections that enables more efficient and robust communication with shipper customers.
eConnect
Carrier client characteristics: Carriers that have the volume or a compelling business case that requires EDI integration in addition to other e2open Carrier Marketplace capabilities
Pricing: Three pricing tiers based on annual load volume and inclusive of all SCAC codes
What’s included: Access to the Web Connect user interface (UI), EDI connectivity, Advanced Carrier Scorecard, Certified Carrier Program eligibility, Procurement Discovery eligibility, company logo displayed on the Carrier page of e2open.com, and “Member of e2open Carrier Marketplace” logo for use on the carrier’s website
What’s not included: API integration
Overview: The eConnect level in e2open Carrier Marketplace includes the same world-class web portal UI that carriers connected to the e2open Transportation Management for shippers application have always enjoyed. This level is available for carriers who are well connected within the e2open transportation ecosystem and require integration via EDI to drive efficiency when executing loads for their shipper customers.
Carriers selecting eConnect also receive the Advanced Carrier Scorecard on a quarterly basis. This first-of-its-kind program enables carriers to see their performance across all the shippers they service. The scorecard measures a wide range of KPIs, including On-Time Delivery, Tender Acceptance, Performance variance as compared to the e2open Road Freight Market Index, and more.

Carriers enrolled in eConnect also receive a “Member of e2open Carrier Marketplace” logo graphic that can be displayed on their website. If an eConnect carrier qualifies for the Certified Carrier Program, the carrier’s company logo is placed on the Carrier page of the e2open.com website.
EDI integration is also part of the eConnect level. This includes a connection to the e2open transportation ecosystem via SFTP or AS2 for the exchange of EDI documents to help automate Tender (EDI 204), Tender Accept (EDI 990), Status Updates (EDI 214), and Invoicing (EDI 210).
Carriers at this level receive all the available program benefits except the tighter integration via API connections that enables more efficient and robust communication with shipper customers.

In addition, only carriers that enroll in eConnect+ can leverage API integration. There are several APIs available for establishing a deeper and more robust integration between carrier systems and the e2open TMS, but the most important gives carriers the ability to provide Real-Time Rating to shipper customers.
Real-Time Rating enables shippers to receive a spot quote for a specific load with one click in the TMS. This allows carriers to quote and win loads before they are posted in the more competitive SpotMarket environment. Shippers can obtain coverage for loads within a few seconds instead of having to wait for the spot-bidding process to play out.
eConnect+ comes with three standard API offerings: Rate Quoting (Real-Time Rating and SpotMarket), Communication, and Billing. To view the specifications for an API offering, please select from the list below:
- Rate Quoting:
- Communication API
- Billing API

Overview: The LTLConnect subscription provides carriers with access to the world-class e2open Transportation Management for Shippers application through the web portal UI as well as integration via EDI and available APIs to drive efficiency for carriers who are connected to multiple shippers within the e2open transportation ecosystem.
The APIs allow a deeper level of systems integration and can enable enhanced services such as Real-Time Rating, Spot Market automation, and automated Document Uploads and Rate-change Requests.
Carriers selecting LTLConnect also receive the Advanced Carrier Scorecard on a quarterly basis. This first-of-its-kind program enables carriers to see their performance across all the shippers they service. The scorecard measures a wide range of KPIs, including On-Time Delivery, Tender Acceptance, Performance variance as compared to the e2open Road Freight Market Index, and more.
Performance on the Carrier Scorecard can also qualify a carrier for the Certified Carrier Program in the e2open transportation ecosystem. There are three levels of certification—Silver, Gold, and Platinum—to distinguish the highest-performing carriers. For the first time, e2open is putting data at the center of what has traditionally been an emotional or anecdotal decision for shippers.

Frequently asked questions
Learn more about how e2open Carrier Marketplace works in our frequently asked questions (FAQs) below. You can also email CarrierMarketplace@e2open.com or contact us to speak with a TMS professional.
-
What are the benefits of purchasing a subscription?
Answer: Carriers who purchase a subscription receive a quarterly Platform Scorecard that details your activity in the TMS and provides objective performance data across all your shippers customers. The Scorecard measures many KPIs, including On-Time Delivery, Tender Acceptance and more. The data is presented by lane and by customer. This allows you to identify areas of improvement and compare your performance to all the other carriers in the e2open TMS.
Excellent performance on the Scorecard Report can lead to Certification (Silver, Gold, Platinum) which better enables e2open to share your company with shippers looking to procure new transportation partners.
As our shipper customers prepare to go to market with their freight lanes, e2open works with them to understand their lanes, equipment and mode needs, and other factors. We use carrier profile information — with the certification level as a core component — to identify those carriers that are well-suited for a shipper to include in procurement events.
This process is known as Procurement Discovery and can lead to increased business within the e2open TMS ecosystem.
This document compares all the subscription levels and associated costs.
This document gives more details about the Scorecard and Procurement Discovery.
This document gives more details about integration and how they interact with workflows in the TMS.

How do I get more business within the e2open TMS?
Answer: Take advantage of your subscription benefits. Your subscription includes powerful tools to help your company succeed. Here are some tips for increasing your efficiency and effectiveness for your customers:
- Review the quarterly scorecard. This document provides detailed instructions to ensure the scorecard is sent to the right person each quarter.
- Understand the data within the scorecard, and how it can help you improve your performance for your existing customers. This document explains the Scorecard in more detail.
- If your high performance on the Scorecard results in a Silver, Gold, or Platinum Certification, you will also receive a badge graphic you can use in your company marketing, sales, website, and email signature.
- Connect with the e2open Procurement Discovery team to review your scorecard and profile to ensure they have accurate information to use if/when opportunities arise to connect you with a new shipper customer.
- Leverage integrations. eConnect, eConnect+ and LTLConnect subscriptions include EDI and API connections to the TMS. Once your SCAC code has been integrated, there is no additional charge to add more shippers. So make sure all your shippers can take advantage of your EDI and API capabilities.
-
How is my annual load volume calculated? Can I pull a report for myself?
Answer: Yes. Any carrier user (admin role) can navigate within the TMS to Utilities > Reporting > Data Export and generate a report that shows the carrier’s load activity in the system for a date range.
This document contains step-by-step instructions for accessing your report from the TMS.
-
What happens if we exceed the annual load volume limitation set in the Order Details?
Answer: Your subscription will be automatically upgraded. At your next renewal/anniversary date, you will be billed at the new subscription level based on your past 12 months of load volume in the TMS. There are no overage charges or penalties for exceeding your volume limitation in the current subscription year.
-
If I decide to change to a lower program during the year, will I receive a refund?
Answer: No. You can change your subscription to a lower level at any time, however, the annual subscription fees will not be adjusted until your next renewal/anniversary date and will be billed at the new rate at that time.
-
How can I upgrade my subscription?
Answer: We can help. If you would like to upgrade your subscription, please request to do so here: Carrier Change Request. We will work with you to facilitate the upgrade and ensure that any related implementation projects are scheduled as well.
-
How can I Cancel my Subscription?
Answer: If you would like to cancel your subscription, please request to do so here: Carrier Change Request. We will work with you to facilitate the expiration of your current subscription and ensure that it does not renew when the date is due.
If you wish to cancel all connections effective immediately, please let us know by providing it in the feedback section of the form.
No refunds will be issued for cancellations, and if any EDI or API implementations have been executed, they will be deleted, requiring a new project to establish the connection(s) in the future.

I purchased Implementation Services. Can you confirm when the project will start?

This document contains instructions to help you access support services from e2open.

My company has multiple SCAC codes. What do I do?
Answer: Please list all applicable SCAC values during your e2open Carrier Marketplace registration process. If you need to add an SCAC to your company’s account in the future, you can email CarrierMarketplace@e2open.com for assistance. There is no cost to add an additional SCAC to your subscription, but there may be one-time implementation costs if you decide to integrate via EDI or API through the eConnect, or eConnect+ subscriptions.
-
I move freight for shippers on Kewill Transport, Cloud Logistics, or another e2open solution. Does this program apply to all of them?
