What is B2B Pre-Advice?

Business to Business (B2B) Pre-Advice is a way to pre-advise export containers by sending pre-advice details in an XML format to PortConnect. The export information can be extracted from your system in the XML format and sent to PortConnect.

How to get started

  1. Contact the PortConnect team, info@portconnect.co.nz, to advise that you would like to develop B2B Pre-Advice.

  2. Send a link to this page to your IT team and they can review it and confirm whether your system can produce a XML file which meets the format and requirements listed below.

  3. Once your IT team has developed the XML message you can contact info@portconnect.co.nz and let us know that you are ready to start testing. Please send PortConnect at least two test messages.

  4. PortConnect will review the test messages to confirm that they are in the correct format. Your IT team may need to make some revisions to the message format.

  5. End-to-end testing will be done through the PortConnect test environment.

  6. Once the testing is complete you will be able to start sending B2B Pre-Advice messages to PortConnect.
