Kuebix API
Kuebix (now part of FreightWise LLC) is a SaaS transportation management system used by midmarket and larger shippers to rate, plan, execute, track, and audit freight across LTL, TL, parcel, and multi-modal lanes. An unofficial API lets you programmatically pull rate quotes, shipments, tracking events, BOLs, invoices, and carrier/lane data—and push new shipment requests, status updates, documents, and audit decisions back into Kuebix.
What is Kuebix?
Kuebix is a full-featured SaaS transportation management system (TMS) for midmarket and larger shippers, now part of FreightWise LLC. Shippers use Kuebix to request rates from any location, plan and execute shipments, schedule pickups, communicate with carriers, track loads in flight, and audit freight invoices. The platform spans planning, execution, tracking and visibility, and BI/analytics, with managed transportation available through the FreightWise side of the combined offering.
Core product areas include:
- Rating & Planning (rate quotes, lane comparison, shipment planning across LTL, TL, parcel, multi-modal)
- Shipment Execution (pickup scheduling, BOL generation, carrier communication)
- Tracking & Visibility (status events, in-transit milestones, exception alerts)
- BI & Analytics (reporting, freight audit, invoicing reconciliation)
- Managed Transportation (FreightWise-operated lane management and carrier negotiation)
Common data entities:
- Companies (shipper accounts, ship-from/ship-to locations), Users, and Roles
- Shipments (modes, references, weights/dims, accessorials, statuses)
- Rate Quotes (carrier, service level, transit, cost, fuel surcharge)
- Carriers & Lanes (200+ transportation partners, contracted and pre-negotiated)
- Tracking Events (pickup, in-transit, delivered, POD)
- Documents (BOL, POD, carrier invoices, audit attachments)
- Invoices & Audit Records (carrier bills, audit decisions, GL coding)
The Kuebix Integration Challenge
Shippers rely on Kuebix daily, but turning portal-based and EDI-driven workflows into reliable API automation is non-trivial:
- Brand consolidation in flight: Kuebix is now part of FreightWise LLC, with integration documentation and pages migrating across kuebix.com and freightwisellc.com—URLs and product surfaces shift over time
- API access is gated: Kuebix advertises flexible APIs but full developer documentation is not publicly published; integrations route through partner conversations and account-level enablement
- Heterogeneous transports: Connectivity uses a mix of SFTP, AS2, and web service APIs; data flows in EDI X12, JSON, XML, delimited (CSV/TSV), fixed-length, and custom flat-file formats that must be normalized
- EDI-centric carrier exchanges: Tenders, status, and invoices flow through 200+ carrier partners with varying EDI maturity; polling and event capture require careful orchestration to behave like a real-time API
- Portal-first features: Rate shopping, BOL generation, freight audit, and analytics dashboards are optimized for the web app, with data spread across distinct views
- ERP/WMS coupling: Kuebix integrates with ERP, WMS, and OMS systems on the customer side, but named connectors and field mappings vary per tenant—every shipper's data shape is bespoke
- Permissions: Role-based controls and account/location codes affect visibility and write access, complicating headless automation

API Endpoints
/authenticateAuthenticate a Kuebix/FreightWise session and obtain credentials for downstream rating, shipment, and tracking calls. Handles username/password and MFA challenges.
/create_quoteRequest rate quotes across your contracted and Community Load Match carriers for a given lane, mode, weight, and accessorial profile—returning carrier, service level, transit, cost, and fuel surcharge.
/ratesList previously generated rate quotes filtered by lane, carrier, mode, or quote ID. Useful for re-quoting, audit trails, and tying historical rates to booked shipments.
/create_shipmentBook a shipment against a selected rate quote—generating BOL, scheduling pickup, and dispatching tender to the carrier through the appropriate EDI 204 or API flow.
/shipmentsRetrieve shipments with filters for account, location code, status, mode, carrier, or reference numbers. Supports pagination for ERP/WMS reconciliation jobs.
/trackingPull tracking events (pickup, in-transit, exception, delivered, POD) for one or more shipments—normalized from EDI 214 and carrier API feeds into a consistent event model.
Use Cases
Multi-Carrier Rate Quoting
Programmatically request real-time rate quotes from Kuebix's 200+ carrier network across LTL, TL, and parcel modes—comparing service levels, transit times, fuel surcharges, and accessorial costs in a single normalized response.
Shipment Booking Automation
Trigger shipment creation, BOL generation, and pickup scheduling directly from your ERP, OMS, or WMS—eliminating portal-based data entry and synchronizing references, weights, dims, and accessorials across systems.
Tracking & Visibility Ingestion
Stream pickup, in-transit, exception, and delivery events from Kuebix Tracking & Visibility into your data warehouse or customer portal, normalizing carrier-specific status codes into a consistent event model.
EDI X12 Freight Settlement
Automate freight audit and invoice reconciliation by pulling carrier invoices, audit decisions, and GL coding through Kuebix's EDI X12 (210/214/810/990) and API flows—closing the loop with your AP system.
Technical Specifications
Authentication
Username/password and MFA (SMS, email, TOTP); session-based portal auth used when APIs are not directly exposed
Connectivity
Heterogeneous transport across SFTP, AS2, and REST/SOAP web service APIs; partner-negotiated per integration spanning kuebix.com and freightwisellc.com surfaces
Response format
JSON and XML on web service surfaces; EDI X12 (204/210/214/810/990) on EDI flows; CSV/TSV delimited and fixed-length flat files on file-based exchanges

Webhooks
No publicly documented webhook product; status, tender, and invoice events delivered via EDI 214/210/990 or polled REST endpoints
Latency
Sub-second on REST rating and shipment lookups; minutes-scale on EDI batch windows and SFTP/AS2 carrier exchanges
Throughput
Scales with tenant entitlements and carrier EDI maturity across the 200+ carrier network; bulk workloads chunked across pagination and batch windows
Reliability
Resilient to portal and EDI variance via X12 997/999 functional acknowledgements, HTTP status handling, and carrier-specific reject code normalization for EDI X12 freight settlement
Adaptation
Adapter layer absorbs the post-FreightWise consolidation: shifts across kuebix.com and freightwisellc.com surfaces, evolving entitlements, and per-tenant ERP/WMS field mappings
Frequently asked questions
Kuebix is now part of FreightWise LLC, and integration documentation, login flows, and product surfaces are migrating across kuebix.com and freightwisellc.com. Existing Kuebix tenants continue to work, but URLs and entitlements may shift over time. Supergood's adapter layer abstracts these changes so your integration keeps working through the consolidation.
Kuebix connects to 200+ LTL, TL, parcel, and multi-modal carriers, including pre-negotiated Community Load Match rates and customer-contracted lanes. Coverage varies by your account's contracted carriers and modes; tendering, tracking, and invoicing depend on each carrier's EDI maturity.
It depends on the workflow. Tendering, status (214), and invoicing (210/810) are commonly EDI X12 flows, while rating, booking, and tracking lookups can run over REST/JSON or SOAP/XML where exposed. Most production integrations blend both—Supergood normalizes the responses so you consume one consistent shipment, rate, and event model.
OnKue is Kuebix's free TMS tier for shippers with lighter freight volumes, offering rate shopping and shipment execution against Community Load Match carriers. Broader Kuebix (and FreightWise) tiers add managed transportation, deeper analytics, custom carrier contracts, and advanced freight audit—integrations and entitlements differ accordingly.
Kuebix's full developer documentation is not publicly published, and API access is gated through account-level enablement and partner conversations. Supergood works with your account team to scope entitlements, then delivers a production-ready adapter without requiring you to chase down internal API portals.
