USE CASES

How Businesses Use TNT Through Hykmah

Real scenarios from Australian businesses automating TNT freight from Hykmah.

Heavy and Bulky Goods Freight Auto-routing freight-grade shipments to TNT

Challenge: Orders exceeding standard parcel weight limits requiring freight-grade handling that Australia Post and standard courier services cannot provide cost-effectively — but staff manually deciding which service to use per order.

Solution: StockWise automatically routes orders above a configured weight threshold to TNT Road Express. Freight consignments created with cubic weight calculation and palletisation details from StockWise product dimensions.

Result: Heavy goods ship on the correct freight service automatically. Routing rules handle carrier selection — no manual decision per shipment.

Interstate B2B Deliveries via Orderlink Reliable interstate freight with POD for invoice disputes

Challenge: Wholesale distributor fulfilling Orderlink B2B orders needing reliable interstate freight with scheduled transit times and Proof of Delivery for invoice dispute resolution.

Solution: Orderlink B2B orders above freight thresholds automatically generate TNT consignments. POD records including delivery timestamp sync back to Hykmah order records for customer billing support.

Result: B2B customers receive goods on schedule. POD records in Hykmah eliminate manual chasing of delivery confirmations for invoice disputes.

Multi-Carrier Weight Routing Automatically selecting the right carrier per shipment weight

Challenge: Business shipping both lightweight parcels and heavy freight — manually selecting between Australia Post, FedEx, and TNT per order depending on weight, costing staff time and introducing inconsistent carrier selection.

Solution: Hykmah weight routing rules automatically select TNT for heavy orders above a configured threshold and Australia Post or FedEx for lighter parcels. Thresholds configurable per warehouse and shipping zone.

Result: Correct carrier selected automatically on every order. Staff focus on fulfilment rather than carrier decision-making.
Why TNT Express

Road Freight Automation for Australian Operations

TNT is Australia's leading road freight network for heavy and bulky B2B deliveries. Integrated directly into Hykmah so Australian businesses can automate freight despatch without leaving their operations platform.

Auto-Routing Between Freight and Parcel

Configure weight thresholds in Hykmah to automatically select TNT for freight-grade shipments and a parcel carrier for lighter items. No manual carrier decision per order — routing rules handle it based on weight, zone, and service level.

POD Synced to Order Records

Proof of Delivery with delivery timestamp syncs back to Hykmah order records automatically when a consignment is delivered. POD records accessible from the shipment timeline or exportable for customer billing and dispute resolution.

Automated Manifest Lodgement

Daily manifests generated and lodged with TNT automatically at your configured cut-off time. No staff action required for end-of-day manifesting — Hykmah handles it.

FedEx International via TNT

TNT domestic API for Australian road freight connects to the FedEx global network for international shipments. One integration covers domestic road express and international express via the same Hykmah setup.

TNT integration is included in all Hykmah plans — no per-shipment integration fee. TNT freight charges apply per shipment at your account rate.

Architecture

How the Integration Works

Order Triggers Consignment

A StockWise or Orderlink order meeting the freight weight threshold triggers a TNT consignment. Cubic weight is calculated from StockWise product dimensions and submitted to TNT for accurate rating.

Label Printed & Manifest Lodged

Consignment label printed from Hykmah. At cut-off time, Hykmah automatically generates and lodges the daily manifest with TNT. No staff action required for manifesting.

Tracking & POD Auto-Sync

TNT tracking events update in Hykmah every 15 minutes. On delivery, POD with timestamp is pulled back and stored against the Hykmah order. Customer notifications fire automatically.

Technical Architecture

  • Authentication: TNT API credentials (Account Number + API Key)

  • Cubic weight: configurable divisor per service type

  • Label format: PDF (A4 / 4x6) and ZPL thermal

  • POD: delivery timestamp + optional signature via TNT Events API

  • Tracking: 15-minute polling + webhook events

Sync Frequency

  • Real-time: Consignment creation and label generation on order despatch
  • Every 15 min: Tracking status polling from TNT

How does cubic weight work for TNT freight?

Troubleshooting

Common Issues & Solutions

TNT service types not appearing

API credentials incorrect, or TNT account does not have required service types enabled.

Fix: Confirm API credentials are entered correctly at Settings → Integrations → TNT. Verify your TNT account has the required service types enabled. Contact your TNT account manager if services appear missing after re-authentication.

Manifest not lodging automatically

Manifest cut-off time not set, no un-manifested consignments exist, or TNT API token expired.

Fix: Check the manifest cut-off time is set in Settings. Ensure at least one un-manifested consignment exists. Verify the TNT API token has not expired — re-authenticate in Hykmah if needed.

POD not appearing in Hykmah

POD only available for completed deliveries — allow up to 30 minutes after delivery for sync.

Fix: Confirm POD sync is enabled at Settings → Integrations → TNT → Advanced. Allow up to 30 minutes after delivery confirmation. If POD still missing, check Hykmah sync logs for TNT Events API errors.

Cubic weight calculation incorrect

Product dimensions not entered in StockWise, or cubic weight divisor doesn't match TNT account agreement.

Fix: Verify product dimensions are stored correctly in StockWise (length × width × height in cm). Check the cubic weight divisor configured for your TNT service type. Contact TNT account management to confirm the divisor on your contract.
