Freight forwarders and logistics service providers use SCM interfaces to connect their planning, inventory management, and transportation systems seamlessly. An SCM interface is a standardized data connection (API or EDI-based) that enables automated exchange of orders, inventory data, shipment information, and invoices between different software platforms. This eliminates manual handoffs, reduces data entry errors, and accelerates supply chain processes. In practice, such interfaces typically link a warehouse management system with transport planning software or a shipper's ERP with a logistics provider's TMS.
