MyEZClaim is the only web-based platform that allows logistics service providers and carriers to manage the full life cycle of cargo claims. MyEZClaim works to streamline the claims process through automating follow-up tasks/alerts, scheduled reports, and system integration through robust web services (APIs). Their cloud-based software allows users to manage freight claims, carrier claims, vendor claims, overcharge claims and overage, shortage, & damage (OS&D) incident management.
By integrating your Turvo tenant with your MyEZClaim account, your shipment data seamlessly transfers from Turvo into MyEZClaim so you can quickly manage your claims in the same place.

Enabling MyEZClaim for your tenant
To enable MyEZClaim for your tenant, it’s important to have an established contract with MyEZClaims before enabling the connection with your Turvo tenant. Once you have the contract, be sure to obtain the following credentials:
- Client ID
- Client secret
- Account ID
- URL
Then, login to your Turvo tenant and navigate to the Profile icon at the top right corner of your page. Then, select Admin console from the drop-down menu.
Click the Integration Hub card.
Then, in the Available Integrations tab, scroll down to the Carrier tools integrations section and click the MyEZClaims tile.
On the Integrate tab, enter the following credentials collected from MyEZClaims into the appropriate fields in Turvo:
- ClientID
- Client secret
- Account ID
- URL
Finally, click the blue CONNECT button at the bottom right corner to establish the connection between Turvo and MyEZClaims.
How does it work?
Once your tenant is integrated with MyEZClaim, Turvo pushes the shipment and product issue exception information into MyEZClaim. The data sync triggers whenever a Product issue exception* is logged on a shipment in Turvo, creating a claim in MyEZClaim.
*Note: If any other exception type is created, data will not be sent to MyEZClaim. MyEZClaim only creates claims for Product issue exceptions.
Updates made to the Product issue exception in Turvo will send a message to MyEZClaim, updating the claim. However, resolving an exception in Turvo will not close the claim in MYEZClaim. Closing claims in the MyEZClaim platform needs to be performed separately.

Checking your claim creation status in the Product issue exception
You can quickly view the status of your claim’s creation in MyEZClaim by accessing the Production issue exception, either from the shipment or from Workbench.
From the shipment, click the Fast Action Button (FAB) and select Exception. All exceptions associated with the shipment will be displayed. The Product issue exception with an attached MyEZClaim will display the claim’s creation status in blue, to the right of the MyEZClaim logo. Hover over the status text to see the date the claim was created in MyEZClaim.
Upon opening the exception from the FAB or from Workbench, the Claim status will display the claim’s creation status, either Claim created or Claim failed. The Claim created field will display a timestamp for the claim creation status update.
Note: These fields will only appear on Product issue exceptions where the tenant is integrated with MyEZClaim.
