# Effortlessly Push Location Data From Your TMS to Our Visibility Platform

[ Get Your TMS Connected ](https://carrier.descartesconnect.com/connect)

## How it Works

For those with a TMS or dispatching system storing real-time data, sending data is simple with API or CSV integration.

#### API Integration

---

We can ingest location & event data directly from your TMS via API. Some providers offer prebuilt integration, but our API can be deployed from any TMS.

#### CSV (Flat file) Integration

---

If an API integration is not a good fit, we can also take in your location & event data through a flat file upload.

## Automated Tracking Assignment

If your customer requires you to assign tracking, we can automate this as well, either through API or CSV (flat file) integration.
