Works with your own NCR Power Traffic account. Fous is an independent product.

## What you can build on Power Traffic

### Get loads for bid

Reads the Loads for Bid list in Web Tendering: every web bid a client has sent you, with its expiration date and time and the load's route.

- Takes: Nothing
- Returns: Bid ID, expiration date and time, client, distance, stops, cube, weight, origin, destination

### Get available and accepted loads

Reads the Load list in Web Tendering, with the details row of each load, for loads waiting for you to accept them or already accepted.

- Takes: View (available or accepted), load number (optional)
- Returns: Load number, available or accepted, load details, actual pickup and delivery times, available for reloading, desired destination, comments

### Find open appointment times for a load

Enters the delivery company and PO numbers on Request an Appointment, then reads each order's status and the dates and times offered, without reserving one.

- Takes: Delivery company, PO numbers
- Returns: PO number, order status or rejection reason, cases, weight, pallets, cube, live appointment offered, available dates and times

### Book a web appointment or send a request

Reserves a live appointment at the date and time you give, or submits a request for review with a Requested Appointment Date and time, and reads the Appointment Summary.

- Takes: Delivery company, PO numbers, date, time or time window, comments (optional)
- Returns: Confirmation number, appointment date and time, or request sent, PO numbers

## Automate Power Traffic with a workflow

A [workflow](/product/workflows) runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use.

### New web bids, before they expire

Starts: Every 30 minutes on weekdays

1. Get the loads for bid from the Loads for Bid list in Web Tendering.
2. Keep the bids that were not there on the last run.
3. Email you each new bid with its expiration, client, origin, destination, distance and weight.

### Available loads, posted to your dispatch system

Starts: Every weekday at 6:00

1. Get the loads in the Available view of the Load list in Web Tendering.
2. Keep the loads that were not there on the last run.
3. Post each one, with its load details and comments, to your dispatch webhook.

### Open appointment times for a planned delivery

Starts: When your system calls the workflow's webhook with a delivery company and PO numbers

1. Find the open appointment times for those POs on Request an Appointment, without reserving one.
2. When an order is rejected, post its PO number and rejection reason to your webhook and stop.
3. Post the order statuses and available dates and times back to your webhook.

You can run a workflow by hand on every plan, Free included. Schedules and webhook triggers come with the paid plans, from $29 a month.

## Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a [method](/product/methods), it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get loads for bid” would look like.

Example request:

```
curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "ncrpowertraffic.com/get_loads_for_bid",
    "input": {}
  }'
```

Example response:

```
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "bids": [
      {
        "bid_id": "88214",
        "expires_at": "2026-11-12T15:00:00-06:00",
        "client": "Northwind Foods",
        "distance_miles": 412,
        "stops": 2,
        "cube": 2350,
        "weight_lb": 38600,
        "origin": "Joliet, IL",
        "destination": "Indianapolis, IN"
      }
    ],
    "count": 1
  }
}
```

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

## Power Traffic’s own options

NCR's instructions for carriers and vendors describe the site itself and document no API, EDI or file export for carriers. Web Scheduling books appointments or sends appointment requests, and Web Tendering shows load tenders, web bids and, where the client allows it, freight invoices. Appointment details and confirmation numbers also arrive by email.

| Option | What it covers | What it takes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Appointment emails | An email with all the appointment details and a confirmation number after each appointment is accepted. | A Power Traffic account approved for web scheduling by the customer, and NoReply@ncr.com on your safe senders list. |
| Web bid emails | An email notification when a client sends you a web bid. The bid itself is read and answered on the site. | A client that sends web bids to selected carriers, including you. |
| Power Traffic by hand | Web Scheduling for appointments and requests, and Web Tendering for the Load list, Printable Load Detail, Web Invoicing and Loads for Bid. | An account from New user? Click here, approved by each customer you schedule with. |

## Signing in to Power Traffic

Power Traffic signs you in with your Email/Username and a case-sensitive password of 8 to 20 characters. A forgotten password is reset by email, and a forgotten username comes from your customer or vendor. With Fous you sign in once through the site's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, and an expired session is signed back in.

## Worth knowing

- **Each customer approves you first**: You request web scheduling from each customer under Add scheduling for a company, then wait for it to approve. Without approval in 24 to 48 hours, NCR's guide says to contact the customer's scheduling department.
- **Some orders cannot be scheduled on the web**: An order is rejected when its number is not found, has several unscheduled instances, belongs to another delivery customer or is already scheduled. Then you call the delivery company.
- **A live appointment or a request**: Make a live appointment now can be used only when it is not grayed out. Otherwise you submit a request with a date and a window (Anytime, Before Noon, Noon -6PM, after 6PM), and the Dock Scheduling user tells you the time.
- **Web Invoicing needs the client's approval**: Freight invoices can be sent from an accepted load only if your client approved you for web invoicing. You can send one before delivery, but the client cannot process it until the load is delivered and received.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does NCR Power Traffic have an API?

Not one for carriers and vendors that NCR documents. Its instructions cover the site itself: Web Scheduling for appointments and requests, and Web Tendering for loads, bids and invoices, plus emails with appointment confirmations and web bid notices. With Fous you can build your own methods on your account.

### Why can't I make an appointment for my PO?

Web scheduling rejects an order when the number is not found, has several unscheduled instances, does not match the delivery customer you chose or is already scheduled. In those cases NCR's guide says to call the delivery company to make the appointment.

### Where do I find my appointment confirmation number?

In the Appointment Summary after you reserve, and in the email Power Traffic sends with all the appointment details. For a request for review, the Dock Scheduling user tells you the date and time once the appointment is made.

### Can I be told about new web bids without logging in all day?

Power Traffic emails you when a client sends you a web bid. With Fous, a workflow can read Loads for Bid on a schedule, keep the bids that are new since the last run and email you each one with its expiration, origin, destination and weight.

### Is Fous affiliated with NCR Voyix?

No. Fous is an independent product. You use it with your own Power Traffic account, and a method reads and does only what that account can.

Fous is an independent product: it is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the operator of NCR Power Traffic (NCR Voyix). The name is used only to say which system this page is about. Something here wrong or out of date? Write to legal@fous.com.
