Winter '25 MacroPoint

Overview

MacroPoint is a global freight visibility platform for shippers, brokers and 3PLs to get real-time visibility on the freight they have given to 3rd party carriers. MacroPoint provides GPS/Cell-based tracking of loads via the driver’s (smart) phone or in-cab ELD.

The Revenova TMS integration with MacroPoint contains two main features. The first is Carrier load tracking where updates are sent from MacroPoint and received in the TMS. The second feature provides Customer-specific load tracking information from the TMS to MacroPoint.

Inbound calls from MacroPoint for load status updates are processed by Platform Events.

TMS Admin

Configuration

Tracking Update frequency (Minutes): The number of minutes between inbound load location updates from MacroPoint. The TMS does not process load location updates less than the entered value since the last load location update.

Load Tracking Update Interval: Set the default amount of time between tracking updates. Values provided in the drop-down range from 15 minutes to 12 hours.

Load Tracking Duration: Set the default amount of time to track a load with MacroPoint. Values provided in the drop-down range from 1 hour to 7 days.

Use Platform Events For: Confirm the check box for MacroPoint is checked.

Transportation Profile

The following fields are located in 2 places in the TMS. The first location is on the customer Transportation Profile record. The second location is on the Carrier Banner Lightning Web Component from the Load Tracking Administration LWC. Set the default values on the customer Transportation Profile or add to each load in the Load Tracking Administration LWC.

Tracking Notes: Custom notes that are sent with load tracking information. These notes display in the MacroPoint website UI in the Control Tower view and in notification emails.

Tracking Update Email List: Assign multiple email addresses to receive tracking notifications for a load. 

It is possible to set a default Tracking Provider for each Carrier on their Transportation Profile.

Tracking Provider: The default selection in the Load Tracking Admin LWC of tracking information for a load. 

The MacroPoint integration supports multiple stops for the same Account location.

MacroPoint ELD Tracking (optional)

To use MacroPoint ELD tracking, a spreadsheet with Carrier information must be sent to MacroPoint with the following data: 

• Carrier Name

• Carrier Id (18-character Account Id – use CASESAFEID formula field to get this value)

• Carrier DOT

• Carrier MC Number

• Carrier NSC Number (Canada)

• Carrier CAAT (Mexico)

MacroPoint Shipper Method (optional)

Tracking sessions may be started with MacroPoint without a Tractor Number, Container/Trailer Number, or Driver Phone number. Carriers must be partnered on the MacroPoint website to enable this feature. If a Carrier is not partnered, an error displays when beginning a tracking session. Enter a Tractor Number, Container/Trailer Number, or Driver Phone number to begin the tracking session.

Carrier Load Tracking

Carrier load tracking is initiated on the Carrier Banner LWC. Click the antenna button to open the Load Tracking Administration LWC to begin tracking the load. 

Start and stop a tracking session by clicking the On and Off buttons. Active tracking sessions may be updated by changing load or Carrier tracking information and then click Update Tracking. See the table below for acceptable changes.

Load Field Set TMS35, Transportation Profile TMS7, and Transportation Profile TMS8 can be adjusted to display additional fields in the Load Tracking Administration modal. See the Field Set Summary for more information.

Start Load Tracking

The start new load tracking call sends load, Carrier, and stop information to MacroPoint. The Tracking Notes and Tracking Update Email List fields are sent in this call. The Tracking Number field is returned. The Start Time field on the Load Tracking Administration modal defaults to the appointment time of the pickup stop.

See the section above regarding partnered Carriers to start a load tracking session.

Update Load Tracking

The update tracking call sends new load and stop information to MacroPoint. The Tracking Notes and Tracking Update Email List fields may be updated and sent in this call. See the tables below for acceptable and unacceptable field changes.

During an active tracking session there are a limited number of load fields that may be changed.

When fields require changing from the Unacceptable table below, stop the current tracking session. Make any necessary changes in the TMS, and begin a new tracking session.

Click the Update Tracking button to send the API call with the new tracking information.

Customer Load Tracking

The MacroPoint integration supports sending tracking updates from the TMS to MacroPoint. Two pieces of customer information data are required.

1. The MacroPoint Customer ID (MPID) specifies the customer that the data is for. 

2. The customer load ID specifies which load the data applies to.

Enter the MacroPoint Customer ID into the Tracking Customer ID field on the customer's Transportation Profile record. The Tracking Customer ID is a value provided by MacroPoint and is unique to the customer's MacroPoint account. This value represents the customer requesting visibility of the load and tracking updates. 

The Tracking Number (Customer) must be entered on the load record. This value is usually sent in an EDI204 as the Bill of Lading number or another load reference. The customer may have a regular method for generating this number. A Flow/process to automate entering the number is usually possible.

• The Tracking Number (Customer) field should ONLY contain a value if sending API updates to a tracking provider.

• The Tracking Customer ID and the Tracking Number (Customer) fields should NOT be the same value.  

The following load status updates can be sent from the TMS to the customer through MacroPoint:

• Load ID 

• Stop Appointment Time 

• Stop Arrival, Stop Departure 

• Load Location Change/Updates

  • Coordinates of the Location

  • Latitude/Longitude - Last Reported Geolocation

Customer load tracking is initiated on the Customer Banner LWC. Click the antenna button to open the Load Tracking Administration LWC to begin tracking the load.  

Begin tracking the customer load by:

1. Select MacroPoint as the Tracking Provider from the picklist. 

2. Add the Tracking Number (Customer) field. 

3. Click the On button.

Click the Off button to stop tracking the load.

Send Load Location

The load location call sends the latest load location data to MacroPoint.
