Denim

Denim (denim.com, formerly Axle Payments) is an all-in-one financial and back-office platform for freight brokers, trucking companies, and 3PLs. It provides freight factoring, invoicing, collections, carrier payments, and a fuel card, automating the broker back office and syncing two ways with transportation management systems. The Denim Public API (OpenAPI 3.0) exposes freight loads (jobs), debtors, payees, companies, factoring companies, and transactions, secured with an x-api-key header, so partners can create and quote jobs, onboard debtor/payee relationships, and reconcile transactions programmatically. Added to the API Evangelist network as a portfolio-company lead and enriched from the provider's public developer surface.

Denim publishes 6 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Companies API, Debtors API, Jobs API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Company, Freight, Factoring, Payments, and Logistics.

Denim’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 19 more developer resources.
