Automated Freight Booking Creation (Ocean FCL)

Anyone have any experience with creating FB's in a background job? No use of Schedule resource objects if we can help it. Breaking a bunch of rules I know. But we are exploring options for an automated FB interface with a 3rd party that is sort of a TMS and sort of a Broker (long story here). FCL Ocean scenarios only; idea is to generate FU's or TU's and then have some magic kick in to generate the FB's before they are transmitted to the 3rd party.

Thoughts? Thanks in advance
