MercuryGate API
MercuryGate (now part of Infios Transportation Management) is a multimodal transportation management system used by shippers, brokers, 3PLs, and carriers to plan loads, manage rates and contracts, dispatch capacity, execute freight across modes, and run settlement (freight audit, payment, claims). An unofficial API lets you programmatically pull loads, stops, rates, carriers, tracking events, invoices, claims, and EDI documents - and push new orders, tenders, status updates, rate updates, and settlement records back into MercuryGate.
What is MercuryGate?
MercuryGate is a multimodal transportation management system (now part of Infios Transportation Management) used by shippers, brokers, 3PLs, and carriers. The platform spans planning, execution, visibility, and settlement - covering load planning, rate and contract management, dispatch and tendering, freight execution across modes, and freight audit, payment, and claims. Customers use MercuryGate to optimize routing, exchange data with trading partners over EDI and APIs, manage carrier portal interactions, and reconcile invoices and claims at scale.
Core product areas include:
- Transportation Management & Planning (e.g., orders, loads, optimization, multi-stop and multi-mode routing)
- Rate & Contract Management (e.g., contracts, lanes, accessorials, fuel surcharges, rating engines)
- Dispatch & Tendering (e.g., carrier selection, EDI 204/990, spot quotes, capacity assignment)
- Visibility & Collaboration (e.g., status events, EDI 214, carrier portal updates, ETAs, documents)
- Freight Settlement (e.g., freight bill audit, payment, cost allocation, claims management)
- Business Intelligence & Reporting (e.g., spend analytics, on-time performance, carrier scorecards)
Common data entities:
- Companies (shippers, consignees, bill-to, carriers), Users, Roles, and Permissions
- Orders & Loads (references, modes, equipment, statuses, division/agent codes)
- Stops & Appointments (pickup/delivery windows, locations, dock/door)
- Carriers & Capacity (SCAC, contracts, lanes, qualifications, insurance)
- Rates & Tariffs (contract rates, spot quotes, accessorials, fuel)
- Tracking Events & Documents (status, geolocation, BOL/POD, exceptions)
- EDI Transactions (204 tender, 990 response, 214 status, 210 invoice, 997 ack)
- Invoices, Settlements, and Claims (audit results, accruals, payment terms, claim records)
The MercuryGate Integration Challenge
Shippers, brokers, 3PLs, and carriers rely on MercuryGate to run their freight networks, but turning a sprawling TMS into reliable API automation is non-trivial:
- Product breadth: Planning, execution, visibility, and settlement span distinct suites with different objects, statuses, and lifecycles that must be reconciled into a single integration
- EDI-driven flows: Tenders, status updates, and invoices often arrive as batched EDI (204/990/214/210); polling and event capture require careful orchestration to achieve real-time behavior
- Carrier portal data: Updates submitted by drivers and carriers via portal screens (status, documents, appointment changes) are spread across views and may not surface uniformly through standard endpoints
- Module/licensing gates: Coverage of rating, settlement, claims, and BI varies by purchased modules and customer tier, making uniform API access tricky
- Tenant variability: Custom fields, workflows, division/agent codes, and partner-specific rating logic differ by customer, complicating one-size-fits-all integrations
- Authentication & permissions: SSO/MFA plus role-based controls and agent/division scoping complicate headless, unattended automation
- Settlement rigor: Freight audit, cost allocation, and claim postings have strict business rules; incorrect updates can break downstream payment and accruals
How Supergood Creates MercuryGate APIs
Supergood reverse-engineers authenticated browser flows and network interactions to deliver a resilient API endpoint layer for your MercuryGate tenant - aligned with your purchased suites, EDI partners, and carrier portal usage.
- Handles username/password, SSO/OAuth, and MFA (SMS, email, TOTP) securely
- Maintains session continuity with automated refresh and change detection
- Normalizes responses across planning, execution, visibility, and settlement so you integrate once and rely on consistent objects
- Aligns with customer entitlements, division/agent codes, and role-based permissions to ensure compliant access

Use Cases
Automated Shipment Creation and Tendering
- Push orders and loads into MercuryGate from OMS, ERP, or planning systems - Auto-tender to carriers using contract rates and lane rules - Capture EDI 990 tender responses and reroute on rejection
Programmatic Rate Quote Retrieval
- Query contract rates, spot quotes, accessorials, and fuel surcharges - Compare carrier options across modes for a given lane and equipment - Surface least-cost or best-fit carrier selections in upstream apps
EDI 204/214 Ingestion and Status Sync
- Receive and parse EDI 204 tenders and 214 status messages at scale - Normalize stop events, geolocation, and ETAs into a unified shipment timeline - Push status events into customer portals, 3PL dashboards, and BI
Freight Settlement and Invoice Reconciliation
- Pull EDI 210 invoices and freight audit results for accruals - Match invoices to load cost, accessorials, and fuel surcharges - Post payment status, claim records, and exceptions back into MercuryGate

Frequently asked questions
Yes. MercuryGate is now part of Infios Transportation Management, and Supergood maintains the integration across the rebrand - tracking UI, endpoint, and EDI map changes so your API stays stable.
Coverage spans Transportation Management & Planning, Rate & Contract Management, Dispatch & Tendering, Visibility & Collaboration, Freight Settlement, and BI - aligned to the suites your tenant has licensed.
Both. Supergood exposes REST endpoints for orders, loads, rates, tracking, and settlement, and ingests/emits EDI 204, 990, 214, 210, and 997 - normalizing both into a unified JSON contract.
Each integration is scoped to your tenant's per-tenant configurations - division/agent codes, custom fields, role-based permissions, rating rules, and EDI partner profiles - so the API matches your operational reality.
Yes. The API supports bidirectional flows: read shipments, rates, tracking, and invoices, and write new orders, tenders, status events, rate updates, and claim/settlement records back into MercuryGate.
