THE REALITY

IFS is brilliant at what it does. Useless at everything else your data + AI needs to touch.

SmartFreight selects carriers and prints labels well, but orders are keyed by hand, freight cost reaches the ERP late, and AI carrier-selection models stall because rate and manifest data sits behind the shipping screen.

The integration tool you've already tried probably can't fix it.

What Zapier + iPaaS reach

App-to-app. Useful, until it isn't.

Connectors for IFS, Slack + a thousand other cloud apps. Cheap + fast for the easy half of integration. Where they hit a wall:

The ERP and order system that should trigger carrier selection and labels from live orders, not manual entry
The WMS whose pack-bench should generate labels and manifests without leaving the shipping screen
Carriers whose rates, labels and status flow through SmartFreight's carrier library
Customer systems that should see live tracking numbers and delivery status
Data warehouses and AI agents needing live carrier-cost, service and on-time signals

What Rayven reaches

ERP, WMS, telematics + AI. One platform.

The integration platform built for what other tools can't (or won't) reach - plus an AI data fabric, MCP server + app builder layered on top.

IFS + every ERP, WMS and telematics system
ERP, WMS, YMS, telematics, EDI + custom-built connectors.
Files, legacy SQL, FTP + custom-built connectors
Real-time bidirectional sync, tier-aware + rate-limit-safe
AI Data Fabric, MCP, automation + custom apps included

WHAT YOU CAN BUILD

IFS + Rayven: AI, automation + tools that reach every system you run.

5 examples of what Rayven customers run on IFS + integrated systems. Built in weeks, not months.

ERP + WMS (order ready) → IFS SmartFreight

Orders select the carrier automatically

Orders ready to ship in the ERP or WMS trigger SmartFreight carrier selection, label and consignment-note generation, so the pack bench ships without rekeying an order into a separate screen.

Booked revenue vs IFS closed-won this month?

$2.41M booked, $2.39M closed-won. Two deals awaiting invoice - flagged.

IFSERPNetSuite

IFS SmartFreight → ERP + finance

Freight cost accrues to the order

Selected carrier rates and freight charges from SmartFreight post to the ERP and finance against the order in real-time, so freight cost is committed at dispatch rather than reconciled from the carrier invoice.

Which won deals are stuck pre-invoice?

3 stuck. 2 drafts in accounting, 1 awaiting PO. Auto-finalise?

IFS SmartFreight → Customer portal + track-and-trace

Tracking numbers to customers

Tracking numbers, carrier and ETA data stream to customer systems and a branded portal at dispatch, so customers get live track-and-trace without a status call.

Reconcile duplicate accounts across the stack.

4 duplicates resolved. Canonical record published. Audit logged.

Carriers → IFS SmartFreight + status

Carrier status joins up

Carrier pickup, transit and delivery status from the SmartFreight carrier library maps back to the order, so delivery visibility reflects real carrier events rather than the dispatch timestamp.

Anything that needs my attention right now?

3 items. 1 deal stuck, 1 account flagged, 1 task overdue.

IFS SmartFreight → Data warehouse + AI agents

Carrier cost + service, AI-ready

Every rate selection, label, manifest and status event streams into Rayven's Industrial AI Data Fabric. AI agents query live carrier cost, service performance and on-time rates to recommend the best carrier per lane.

Any production delays linked to open opportunities?

2 delays. Line 3 down 4 hrs, batch 88 short 14 units.

What is IFS SmartFreight integration?

IFS SmartFreight integration is the practice of connecting SmartFreight to the rest of your operation - the ERP, WMS, customer systems and AI - so carrier selection, labels and freight cost are visible everywhere they matter. Rayven delivers it as part of an Industrial AI Data Fabric, not a single-purpose connector.

How does Rayven connect IFS SmartFreight to other systems?

Rayven uses SmartFreight's REST API and carrier connections for real-time bidirectional sync. Orders, carrier selections, labels, manifests, freight charges and status events all flow as first-class integration events. See the Rayven Platform for how the integration and data layers fit together.

What systems can Rayven connect IFS SmartFreight to?

Rayven connects SmartFreight to 1,228+ systems including the ERP, WMS, the IFS Cloud EAM and customer systems, and sibling transport tools like FreightExchange and CartonCloud. Custom integrations are part of done-for-you delivery.

How long does IFS SmartFreight integration take with Rayven?

Most SmartFreight integrations go live in 2-12 weeks. A single order-to-label or freight-cost flow runs in 2-3 weeks; a full shipping fabric with carrier tracking and AI carrier-selection analytics runs 6-12 weeks. Choose DIY, done-for-you or hybrid delivery, backed by an Australia-based team.

SmartFreight already connects to many carriers. Why does Rayven add value on top?

SmartFreight's carrier library and rate selection cover the shipping step well. Rayven adds value where that stops: triggering labels from live ERP and WMS orders, posting freight cost to the order live, a customer tracking portal and the AI carrier-selection layer on top. Rayven complements SmartFreight. Read more in how Rayven works.

What are the most common IFS SmartFreight integration use cases?

Top use cases are order-to-carrier-selection, freight-cost accrual to the ERP, customer tracking-number delivery, carrier status sync, and AI carrier-selection analytics. See the automations above for specifics.

What are the technical specifics of IFS SmartFreight integration with Rayven?

Rayven connects to IFS SmartFreight through its REST API and carrier connections, using API-key and token-based authentication for real-time bidirectional sync. Orders, carrier rate selections, labels, consignment notes, manifests, freight charges and carrier status events are preserved through the integration with field-level mapping into the ERP, WMS and customer targets. SmartFreight's per-carrier label and manifest formats are handled so shipping documents generate correctly from live orders rather than manual entry. Selected carrier rates post to the ERP against the order, so freight cost is committed at dispatch. Carrier pickup, transit and delivery status maps back to the order for live track-and-trace, and tracking numbers flow to customer systems and a branded portal. This page covers SmartFreight shipping; the IFS Cloud ERP and EAM is a separate product. Multi-warehouse shippers reconcile via Rayven's data layer, with data held in Australian sovereign hosting. Validated against IFS SmartFreight on cloud and on-prem shipping-server deployments.
