Parcel delivery data integration
Parcel networks generate scan events, vehicle telematics, sorter data and customer contact records across hubs, depots and partner carriers.
Example use case
A regional carrier joins sorter throughput from hub PLCs, van telematics from CAN J1939 gateways and door sensor events over MQTT to understand why late linehaul arrivals cause missed delivery windows the next morning.
Typical sources and transports
EDI and EDI over AS2 for partner manifests, MQTT from BLE/LTE trackers, REST and GraphQL APIs from carrier platforms, ANPR at hub gates, and change-data capture from operational databases.
What the data means
Scan events need a parcel identifier, event type, location and event time; telematics provide position, speed and engine data with device time. Partner timestamps may be local time and must be converted carefully.
Prerequisites
Before connecting parcel delivery sources, prepare an inventory of systems and owners, interface documentation for each one, read-only credentials and approved network paths. Agree identifiers, units and time zones early, and name a person who can confirm values against the source during commissioning.
Limitations
Partner APIs vary and rate limits apply. Personal recipient data should not be collected unless strictly required. Connector availability is confirmed per carrier system.
ALLINLET reads and normalises data; it does not control equipment.
