SIGNAL / API & INTEGRATIONS

Connect Signal to the systems that already run the work.

Signal’s API is designed to bring delivery capabilities into customer workflows. Signal integrations connect the platforms, systems and delivery capacity that help execute the work.

TWO CONNECTION LAYERS

Two directions. One connected operating model.

The names are related, but their jobs are different. The planned Signal API carries customer-facing delivery capability outward into customer-controlled software. Signal integrations bring business systems and execution contributors inward so the work remains coordinated behind one request.

01 / SIGNAL API

Bring Signal into your workflow.

CUSTOMER SYSTEM → SIGNAL API → SIGNAL

Signal is building a customer-facing capability layer so delivery work can begin and remain visible inside customer-controlled software.

01Requests, quotes and orders
02Locations, status and proof
03Embedded customer experiences

SIGNAL API

Delivery capabilities where your team already works.

The Customer Portal is Signal’s first-party experience for creating orders, working with quotes, organizing locations, following progress and returning to proof. Signal is building an open API intended to extend that capability model into systems customers control.

The direction is capability-level, not screen automation. A branch application could prepare a request. An enterprise portal could show customer-appropriate progress. A business record could receive completion evidence. Users would not have to reconstruct the same delivery in another interface.

These domains reflect current platform capabilities and approved API direction. They do not represent published endpoints or general API availability.

API SURFACE / ORDER

Carry confirmed work into one order record.

Two-way

The API direction extends the platform order model so confirmed delivery work can remain connected to its source workflow and later result.

01Order context
02Fulfillment context
03Delivery record

EMBEDDED EXPERIENCE

Your workflow in front. Signal underneath.

The planned API architecture is intended to support Signal-powered delivery workflows inside an internal operations application, procurement workflow, branch system, enterprise portal or customer ordering experience.

Data and capability access are not the same as an automatic visual clone of Customer Portal. The customer determines how approved capability is presented; Signal supplies the delivery workflow underneath. Attribution, rebranding and implementation boundaries depend on the program.

SIGNAL INTEGRATIONS

Connect the systems and capacity behind the delivery.

Integrations solve the other side. They connect the delivery platforms, carriers, brokers, external providers and business systems that may contribute information or execution capability to Signal.

The method varies by program: an API, existing platform integration, structured data exchange, provider-specific connection or governed operating workflow. These categories describe connection models, not a claim that every organization has a live technical integration.

ECOSYSTEM / DELIVERY PLATFORMS

Connect execution-platform context.

Architecture view

Depending on the platform and program, a connection may carry job, route, assignment, status or proof context.

INTO SIGNALJob or route context; execution events
BACK TO SYSTEMRelevant status and proof where supported

ORCHESTRATION LAYER

One customer request. Many systems can help fulfill it.

A customer should not have to understand every platform, provider or operating system behind the work. Signal preserves the request, its requirements and documented result while appropriate contributors participate.

Technology makes that record visible. Signal Operations and human oversight keep exceptions, provider coordination and customer communication accountable. Integration does not remove ownership; it gives ownership a connected record.

01 / ERP-INITIATED

Business record to delivery result

Relevant request information can enter Signal and completion context can return where supported.

02 / EMBEDDED EXPERIENCE

Customer interface to Signal capability

The planned API can support a customer-controlled experience without a separate re-entry step.

03 / DELIVERY PLATFORM

Execution context to customer record

A supported platform connection can contribute status or proof while Signal preserves the customer view.

04 / MULTI-PROVIDER

Different contributors, one request

Capacity sources may vary by program while the customer’s delivery remains connected.

INFORMATION FLOW

The right information moves in both directions.

A useful delivery integration does more than send an address. It carries requirements into execution, interprets material events against the request and returns the appropriate result to the customer record.

INFORMATION FLOW / REQUEST

Carry the information that defines the work.

Customer → Signal

Request details enter with enough structure to preserve the route, shipment, requirements and schedule.

CHANGES AND EXCEPTIONS

Design for the second version of the plan.

Receiving instructions, contacts, locations and schedules can change after creation. Integration design determines which changes can move, which require review and when updated context becomes authoritative.

Where supported, relevant systems can receive the current agreed information. If an external connection is delayed, unavailable or incomplete, the design should identify the authoritative record, expose the exception and define recovery. Real-time synchronization and automatic recovery are not assumed.

IMPLEMENTATION MODEL

Build the connection around the operating model.

A practical integration conversation begins with the workflow and people responsible for it. Systems and methods follow after information, ownership and exception paths are understood.

No single connection method fits every program. These stages give operations leaders, product teams and technical evaluators a shared design language without pretending public API documentation already exists.

01 / OPERATING WORKFLOW

Understand how delivery work begins today.

Architecture view

Start with the operating handoff, not a preferred technology.

01Where does the request begin?
02Who reviews it?
03What defines completion?
AUTHORIZATION

Move only appropriate information.

Customer, provider and operational boundaries determine what each participant receives.

SYSTEM OF RECORD

Define authority field by field.

The implementation determines whether a customer system, Signal or an execution system owns relevant context.

EXCEPTIONS

Plan for unavailable connections.

Define visibility, recovery and the authoritative record when a system is delayed or incomplete.

CUSTOMER VISIBILITY

Return customer-safe context.

Relevant status can return without exposing provider selection, administration or economics.

API & INTEGRATIONS FAQ

Questions for the architecture conversation.

What is the difference between the Signal API and a Signal integration?

Signal’s API is the customer-facing capability layer being designed to place Signal delivery functionality inside customer systems and experiences. Signal integrations connect the systems and execution ecosystem around Signal, including delivery platforms, carriers, brokers, providers, ERPs and other operating systems. A program may use one or both.

Is the Signal API available today?

Signal is building the open API around the same delivery capability model used by the Signal platform. Current integration work is scoped around the customer’s systems, workflow and program requirements. If you are evaluating an embedded or API-driven workflow, talk with Signal about the required capabilities and implementation path.

What Signal capabilities are planned for the API?

The direction includes request, quote, order, location, customer-appropriate status and proof capabilities. The exact surface, sequencing and availability will be determined as the API is developed; this page is an architectural overview, not a public specification.

Can Signal functionality be embedded in our existing software?

That is a core direction for the planned API. The intent is to make delivery capabilities available inside customer-controlled applications and operating workflows. The implementation would define the exposed capabilities, authorization and surrounding experience.

Can Signal support a white-labeled delivery experience?

Signal is designing toward white-labeled customer experiences in which Signal-powered delivery workflow can sit beneath a customer-controlled interface. This does not imply an unrestricted rebrand, a finished widget or general availability today. Boundaries depend on the program.

Can Signal connect to our ERP or business system?

Signal can evaluate ERP and business-system connectivity around the specific workflow. Connections may exchange request, customer, location, reference, status or completion context. The supported method depends on the system, authorized data and program requirements; universal compatibility is not implied.

Can Signal connect to an existing delivery platform?

A delivery platform can be part of the execution architecture where the platform and program support an appropriate connection. The exchange may involve job context, status, exceptions or proof. Signal maps responsibilities and customer-safe information rather than assuming every platform uses the same method.

How do carriers, brokers and external providers connect to Signal?

Connections vary. Some may use APIs or platform integrations; others may use structured exchange, provider-specific connections or governed operational workflows. A category does not mean every organization has a live technical integration with Signal.

Does every Signal integration require a custom API connection?

No. The right connection may be an API, an existing integration, structured exchange or an operating process supported by technology. The decision begins with where the request originates, what must move and which system retains the authoritative record.

Can delivery status and proof return to our system?

Where supported, relevant status and available proof can return to the originating customer record. The implementation defines which events and evidence are customer appropriate, how records are matched and what happens when information is incomplete or delayed.

What happens when delivery information changes after the request is created?

The connection design determines which changes can move between systems and when. It identifies the authoritative source, review required for a changed instruction or schedule, and how relevant systems receive the current agreed context. Real-time synchronization should not be assumed.

How do we start an API or integration conversation?

Bring the workflow: where the need begins, which systems and providers participate, what information must move, what returns after completion, and whether the experience must remain inside customer software. Signal can map the appropriate connection model.
