Barcode to TMS

Capture shipment, route, carton, or delivery barcodes in the browser and send the values to a TMS-connected endpoint.

Transport scan input for TMS handoff

Capture shipment codes

Scan shipment IDs, cartons, route labels, dock labels, or proof-of-delivery codes from a browser device.

Route by transport task

Use separate workflows for loading, dispatch, handoff, delivery confirmation, exception capture, or status checks.

Send to logistics systems

Forward the scan value to a TMS API, webhook receiver, automation tool, or logistics middleware that owns shipment state.

Example TMS handoff

A transport workflow can capture a shipment barcode and pass it to the system responsible for status, route, or delivery updates.

  1. Create a workflow for the transport event, such as loading, dispatch, delivery, or exception.
  2. Configure the endpoint that receives the scanned shipment or carton value.
  3. Use pattern rules when different code prefixes should trigger different transport workflows.
  4. Return a status response if the operator needs visible or audio confirmation.

Example TMS payload

The receiving TMS or middleware endpoint should decide how to map the scan into shipment status or logistics records.

What this page claims

  • Capture can start from a browser camera, USB or Bluetooth scanner input, or manual entry on phones, Android handheld terminals, enterprise mobile computers, or wedge workstations.
  • Workflow actions can call an HTTP endpoint, display returned data, render HTML/JS, open a URL, or show an iframe.
  • Rules can match specific barcode or QR values with formats and patterns before an action runs.
  • The receiving system stays the source of truth; Scan2Flow routes the scanned value to the workflow you configure.
  • Browser-based capture can replace dedicated scanners when the use case is capture-and-send; installable as a PWA on supported devices.
  • This page describes API or webhook handoff to a TMS-connected system; it does not claim a native TMS connector.

Barcode to TMS FAQ

Is Scan2Flow a transportation management system?

No. Scan2Flow captures and routes scan input. Your TMS, logistics middleware, or backend remains responsible for shipment records and status updates.

Can this be used for delivery confirmation?

Yes, if your receiving endpoint is configured to treat the scanned value as a delivery, handoff, or status event.

Can different shipment codes trigger different workflows?

Yes. Workflows can use barcode format and pattern matching so different labels or prefixes route to different actions.

Can drivers use phones instead of dedicated scanners?

Scan2Flow runs in the browser and can use supported device cameras, scanner input, or manual entry. Suitability depends on the device, environment, and your operating process.

Need a certified workflow for your TMS platform?

We partner with WMS and TMS vendors on connector packs (importable workflow templates plus setup docs). Contact us via the integrations partners section or the contact page.
