Ramp Logistics runs eight warehouses across California, Texas and New Jersey for apparel, footwear and consumer brands. Founded in Orange County in 2000, it publishes 99.95% order accuracy and ships to more than 220 countries. The AIMS360 connection is deliberately minimal: two documents, carrying the traffic that actually moves every day.
Two documents, both XML over FTP. AIMS360 sends the 940 ship order, Ramp returns the 945 shipment confirmation. That is the whole daily loop, and for this connection it is a deliberate choice rather than a gap.
| Document | Direction | What it carries |
|---|---|---|
| 940 | AIMS360 to warehouse | Ship orders, with retailer routing, carton requirements and third party billing details attached |
| 945 | Warehouse to AIMS360 | Shipment confirmation, which closes the order in AIMS360 and feeds your retailer ASN |
Inbound receiving, inventory adjustments and the style catalog run outside the document flow here rather than through the 943, 944, 947 and 832. Product setup is done from a spreadsheet template, and returns are handled as a manual loop: goods ship back direct, Ramp inspects and restocks, sends a file, and your team raises the RMA and credit in AIMS360.
Most integration pages, including some of ours, present the full six document set as the goal. It usually is. But every document you connect is something to map, monitor and maintain, and a connection nobody watches is worse than one that was never built.
If your inbound receiving is a handful of container arrivals a season, if your warehouse already reconciles inventory through its own portal, and if your team is comfortable posting receipts manually, then wiring up the 943, 944 and 947 adds maintenance without removing work. The two documents carrying real daily volume are the ship order going out and the confirmation coming back.
Ramp is on that shape. It is worth saying plainly because the alternative, quietly implying every partner runs the full set, is the kind of claim that falls apart in the first technical call. Ask any vendor which documents are actually connected for a given warehouse, not which ones the platform supports.
The 940 and 945 carry every order, every day. The rest carry events that happen weekly or seasonally.
When receiving frequency rises or manual posting starts costing hours, the remaining documents can be added without rebuilding what exists.
One warehouse on two documents and another on six is a normal arrangement, not an inconsistency.
The tradeoff is real. Fewer documents means more manual reconciliation. Make it a decision rather than a discovery.
UPC is mandatory on every product, and goods must arrive at the warehouse already labelled with UPC barcodes. If a style never had a real UPC assigned, a synthetic UPC prefix is acceptable, which matters for private label and made to order product.
Third party billing is held on the customer master third party billing tab in AIMS360, supplying account code and shipping type, and those values travel with the 940. The ship order still has to carry visible third party text so it is handled correctly at pack out.
Carriers map to Ramp's SCAC codes, entered as the carrier in the mapping module, including a dedicated code for pack and hold shipments. Files follow a strict convention: the name must start AIMS940_ and end .xml, with no special characters or spaces.
Where to be careful. Failure notifications report success or failure without a reason, so a rejected file needs investigating rather than reading. A single failed line rejects the whole order. Cancelling a pick ticket means calling Ramp customer service and then voiding in AIMS360. Branded packing slips are supplied by AIMS360 as a PDF named to match the pick ticket number rather than generated by the warehouse. None of that is unusual for a two document connection, but all of it is better known before go live than after.
If you want the fuller shape, several partners on the 3PL list run all six documents, and one runs them entirely in AIMS360's native XML.

Reviewed against the AIMS360 Ramp Logistics integration record covering connected documents, file conventions and billing setup, and against Ramp Logistics' published facility and coverage information.
Yes, on a deliberately minimal two document connection. AIMS360 sends the 940 ship order and Ramp returns the 945 shipment confirmation, both as XML over FTP. Inbound receiving, inventory adjustments and the style catalog are handled outside the document flow rather than through 943, 944, 947 and 832.
Because more documents is not automatically better. Every document you connect is something to map, monitor and maintain. If a brand's inbound receiving is low frequency, or the warehouse already reconciles inventory through its own portal, connecting the 943, 944 and 947 adds work without removing any. The two documents that carry daily operational volume are the 940 going out and the 945 coming back. Start there and add the rest when the volume justifies it.
AIMS360 holds the account code and shipping type on the third party billing tab of the customer master, and those values travel with the 940. The ship order also has to carry visible third party text so the warehouse handles it correctly at pack out. Ramp maps to its own SCAC codes, including a dedicated code for pack and hold shipments.
Yes. Every product needs a UPC and goods must arrive at the warehouse already labelled with UPC barcodes. If a style has no real UPC, a synthetic UPC prefix is acceptable, which matters for brands carrying private label or made to order product that never had one assigned.
Yes, and most growing brands eventually do. Each warehouse is a separate stocking location in AIMS360 and they roll into one available-to-sell number, so a West Coast 3PL, an East Coast 3PL and your own building can all fulfill from the same inventory picture. Different warehouses can also run different depths of integration, so one partner on two documents and another on six is a normal arrangement rather than a problem.
