Question 1

What supply chain events appear in Google Calendar?

Accepted Answer

Carrier pickup windows, scheduled deliveries and appointment times, rate contract expirations, peak season rate change dates, and recurring rate reviews. Each event carries the shipment or contract it came from, so the calendar entry is enough to act on.

Question 2

Can I schedule carrier pickups from Google Calendar?

Accepted Answer

Pickups are coordinated in CommerceShip against carrier availability, and the confirmed window writes to Google Calendar so the warehouse and the office see the same time. Rescheduling in CommerceShip updates the calendar entry.

Question 3

What reminders can CommerceShip create in Google Calendar?

Accepted Answer

Reminders ahead of rate expirations and contract renewals, before a scheduled pickup, and on recurring carrier reviews. Set the lead time so a renewal appears while there is still room to negotiate it.

Question 4

Does scheduling in Google Calendar trigger anything?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the sync runs both ways. Blocking time in Google Calendar for a dock appointment or a carrier meeting flows back as a supply chain event, and shipping deadlines set in CommerceShip appear on the calendar of whoever owns them.

Question 5

What access does CommerceShip need to Google Calendar?

Accepted Answer

The connection uses scoped credentials limited to the record types the integration works with, and you choose which fields are included. Credentials are encrypted at rest and stored separately from your operational data. Revoke the connection from either side at any time and the access ends with it.

Question 6

How is my data protected?

Accepted Answer

TLS in transit and AES-256 at rest, with tenant isolation enforced by row-level security in the database. Role-based permissions control who on your team can see cost data or change carrier settings, and automated actions are written to an audit log. CommerceShip is pursuing SOC 2 Type II certification. The security page carries the full detail.
