We make technology work for you

Our company is focused on providing a comprehensive package of transportation and logistics services. In order to meet our customers’ needs, we use the latest in EDI and available technologies and deliver shipment data in real time.

We have an in-house EDI team

EDI relieves the need for manual data entry which reduces errors and saves time. Our EDI infrastructure enables our customers and partner carriers to quickly and accurately exchange secure information across platforms from company to company. You can count on the Armour EDI mapping and programming team to work closely with you to achieve your desired result. Features include:

Extensive validation and testing for both inbound and outbound data
Tailored solutions specific to our trading partners’ needs

All types of documents are communicated through EDI: from your bill of lading, to a rail activity report, from a advance shipment notice to a warehouse shipping notification. We are equipped to communicate with our clients and partner carriers twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
