C3 is brilliant at what it does. Useless at everything else your data + AI needs to touch.
C3 runs the yard well on its own, but appointments never check the WMS receipt, detention is reconciled by hand into the ERP, and AI dwell models stall because gate and move state sits behind paginated API calls.
The integration tool you've already tried probably can't fix it.
App-to-app. Useful, until it isn't.
Connectors for C3, Slack + a thousand other cloud apps. Cheap + fast for the easy half of integration. Where they hit a wall:
- The WMS that should validate each dock appointment against the receipt and put-away plan
- The ERP that needs detention and demurrage posted from gate timestamps
- Carriers and 3PLs booking slots in the C3 appointment portal who need live dock availability
- RFID readers and gate hardware whose reads should trigger yard moves automatically
- Data warehouses and AI agents needing live dwell, appointment-adherence and throughput signals
WMS, TMS, ERP, carriers + 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.
- C3 + every WMS, TMS and ERP system
- WMS, TMS, gate/RFID, 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
C3 + Rayven: AI, automation + tools that reach every system you run.
5 examples of what Rayven customers run on C3 + integrated systems. Built in weeks, not months.
Appointment validates against the receipt
A booked dock appointment is checked against live receipt and put-away readiness in the WMS before the truck arrives, so trailers are turned to a door that is actually ready, not held while the floor catches up.
Live dock slots, no phone tag
Carriers and transport planning see real dock availability in the C3 portal and book against it, while the TMS gets confirmed arrival and departure windows back - appointment booking stops being a chain of emails.
Detention posted from real gate times
Gate-in and gate-out times stream against carrier and container SLAs and post to the ERP as detention or demurrage automatically, with the timestamped evidence attached for any dispute.
AI optimises the appointment grid
Live yard occupancy, dock demand and appointment windows feed AI-led optimisation that spreads bookings, sequences shunter moves and reassigns doors as conditions change through the shift.
Yard performance, AI-ready
Every appointment, gate event and move streams into Rayven's Industrial AI Data Fabric. AI agents query live dwell, appointment adherence and dock utilisation across sites for planners and control-room dashboards.
Integration is the start with Rayven.
Here's what comes with it.
Rayven isn't just a C3 connector. It's the operational software platform underneath - so once C3 is connected, four more capabilities come online by default.
AI-ready data layer (AI Data Fabric)
C3 data joined with ERP, IoT + legacy - contextualised, unified and structured so AI models, agents and tools can use it without ETL prep work.

Automation + AI agents
Workflows + AI agents act on C3 data without human intervention - escalate at-risk accounts, trigger operational work, auto-update forecasts, draft customer comms.
Learn more →
Custom apps + portals
Unified customer portals, ops dashboards, mobile field apps, partner portals - built on top of integrated C3 data. No separate BI tool, no separate dev stack.

All on top of your existing stack. No rip + replace. C3 stays C3. Rayven works on what you've already built. Specifically tuned for C3 dock appointment validation + RFID gate events feeding the WMS and ERP.
Rayven is a five-layer platform ALL your integrations + much more
can run on.
Integration is one layer of Rayven. Data, execution, presentation + governance are the other four - all delivered as one platform on one commercial.
Pick the right tool for your stack.
C3 integration looks different at every scale. Honest comparison of the four common paths - Rayven only wins on some of them.
The integration is the easy bit.
The platform + team behind it is the difference.
Platform + team. One commercial.
Not five vendors stitched together. Rayven is the platform AND the Australia-based expert team that scopes, builds + supports it. One commercial. No licence stacking, no finger-pointing.
Built for C3's appointment + gate model.
Rayven handles C3's REST rate limits, webhook events and high-frequency RFID reads natively. Dock appointments validate against the WMS receipt and gate timestamps post detention to the ERP in real-time - the yard stops being an island the rest of the stack can't see.
We stay after go-live.
No handoff. No disappearing. Rayven is a long-term partner when your C3 evolves, your stack changes, or you push further. 24/7 support. Same team, same platform, same commercial.
Hosted your way, where you need.
Deploy as cloud, private cloud + on-premise - in Australia, the US, the UK, or anywhere else your C3 data needs to live. Your residency, your rules, your local compliance environment.
The questions C3 admins, RevOps + IT ask first.

What is C3 Solutions integration?
C3 Solutions integration is the practice of connecting the C3 yard management system to the rest of your operation - the WMS, transport, ERP and AI - so gate, dock and appointment data is visible everywhere it matters. Rayven delivers it as part of an Industrial AI Data Fabric, not a single-purpose connector.
How does Rayven connect C3 Solutions to other systems?
Rayven uses C3's REST API and webhooks for real-time bidirectional sync. Dock appointments, gate events, trailer moves and RFID reads 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 C3 Solutions to?
Rayven connects C3 to 1,228+ systems including the WMS, ERP, carrier feeds and gate hardware, and sibling yard tools like PINC and YardView. Custom integrations are part of done-for-you delivery.
How long does C3 Solutions integration take with Rayven?
Most go live in 2-12 weeks. A single appointment-to-WMS or gate-to-ERP flow runs in 2-3 weeks; a full gate-to-dock-to-yard fabric with AI-led scheduling runs 6-12 weeks. Choose DIY, done-for-you or hybrid delivery.
C3 already has a REST API. Why does Rayven add value on top?
C3's REST API and webhooks cover the yard itself. Rayven adds value around it: validating appointments against the WMS receipt, posting detention to the ERP, reconciling multi-site yards to one model and running the AI scheduling and dashboard layers. Rayven complements C3 Solutions. Read more in how Rayven works.
What are the most common C3 Solutions integration use cases?
Top use cases are appointment-to-receipt validation, live dock slots to carriers, gate-timestamp detention billing, AI-led appointment optimisation and yard analytics. See the automations above for specifics.
What are the technical specifics of C3 Solutions integration with Rayven?
Rayven uses C3's REST API and webhooks via API-key authentication for real-time bidirectional sync. Per-tenant rate limits are managed through batching, queuing and back-pressure so peak arrival bursts never throttle out. Dock appointments, gate check-ins and check-outs, trailer and yard moves, task assignments and RFID reads are preserved through the integration with field-level mapping into the WMS, ERP and carrier targets. High-frequency RFID reads are debounced and mapped to appointments so dock assignment stays automatic. Appointments validate against live WMS receipt and put-away state before a door is committed. Multi-site yards reconcile to one location and asset model via Rayven's data layer, and gate and camera data can be processed at the edge on-site. Validated against C3 Yard and C3 Reservations deployments across standalone and 3PL multi-tenant yards. Where a site also runs PINC for RTLS trailer positions, both feed the same Rayven yard model so appointments and live locations reconcile in one place.
