Part 1: Get your Account Details

Login to the TNT portal using this link.
Access My Accounts. And under the drop-down you will find your account number. Select the Account Number and click on search it will display the name and address of the Account.
Below details will be required to connect your TNT account with FreightExchange

Account Number	Account Number provided by TNT
Prefix	Download a label generated by TNT and enter the first 3 characters from the Connote Number
Sender Code	FreightExchange will update the Sender Code once received from TNT
Label Code	This is the unique code which will assist in tracking the shipments under your account. FreightExchange will update the Label Code once we receive it from TNT

To enable Tracking, FreightExchange will request TNT to start sending the tracking details for your shipments to FreightExchange.

For Label Code

This must be generated manually by referring to the Prefix, using the following conversion:

A = 10
B = 11
…
Z = 35

Example 1: Prefix XOT

X = 33
O = 24
T = 29
→ Label Code = 332429

Example 2: Prefix ABC

A = 10
B = 11
C = 12
→ Label Code = 101112

Once all three fields (Prefix, Sender Code, and Label Code) have been entered, save the configuration. The status will then show as “Awaiting Carrier”.

Please email our team at ops@freightexchange.com to enable it.

Once the status is updated to “Connected”, you will be able to proceed with the next steps, including adding zones, rates, transit times, and testing.

Verification

After completing all the steps above, it is important to perform a test booking and send the labels to the carrier for verification.

To do this:

Create a test booking using TNT from your account
Dispatch the booking for a future pickup date
Download the shipping labels
Send the labels to your account manager for verification

Example email:

Hi there,


Thanks for the details. We have successfully integrated our account and made a test consignment booking: XXXXX


Please assist to verify the attached labels. 
And, please cancel the test consignment and Pickup Booking XXXXX for the consignment.


Thanks.
