I have created a site for the logistics market. One part of the site is for the users to handle their transactions using a form on the site, and they can communicate using the site as well. (Currently they use emails back and forth)
The typical process of a transaction is:
Quotation request (sent to single or multiple agents)
User gets quotes
User chooses an agent
A transaction is created
**User looks for ocean or air schedule**
**They check/askfor rates**
They select a vessel or Flight
**They book the vessel or flight**
Shipment picked up at destination
Shipment delivered to consignee (client)
**Shipment can during transaction be tracked and traced**
The bold parts can be handled through third party systems. I now want to integrate my application so that my site communicates with these systems, and they use EDIfact.
I eed the above mentioned processes implemented into my LAMP structured web site.
