APIs often undergo changes and updates, and it's our job to ensure that these changes don't disrupt your workflow.

The integrations with carriers, just like the CRH Ehitus OÜ integration, are always developed and maintained in-house by our dedicated Cargoson team; these integrations are our utmost priority. For the connection between Cargoson and ERPs like Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, we typically rely on specialized third-party providers.

This strategy allows us to tap into the deep knowledge and expertise of those who specialize in specific ERP systems. While we are the developers of Cargoson and naturally handle all carrier API integrations in-house, we recognize that we can't be specialists in every ERP platform out there.

In addition, many of these ERP integrations are built in close cooperation with our existing customers. This ensures that they are not only thoroughly tested, but also designed to meet the practical requirements of real businesses in their day-to-day operations. This way, we guarantee robust, reliable, and efficient integrations for you to use.

Absolutely! Cargoson's architecture is built to be carrier-agnostic, meaning that it's capable of integrating with a wide range of carriers, not just CRH Ehitus OÜ. As long as the carrier has an API we can work with (or EDI, or even just email), you can incorporate their services into your Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central system through our platform. Additionally, we're constantly expanding our roster of carrier integrations based on customer demand and market trends, so you'll always have a rich selection of carriers to choose from.

Integrating Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central with CRH Ehitus OÜ using Cargoson is a straightforward process. Simply reach out to us at [email protected]. Our team will walk you through the process, offer a demo if needed, and assist you with the installation of the plugin into Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. We'll also guide you on how to request and input the CRH Ehitus OÜ API keys into Cargoson.

Rest assured, data security is our top priority at Cargoson. Your CRH Ehitus OÜ API keys are securely encrypted in the Cargoson database. However, it's important to note that as your data originates from Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and then is sent to CRH Ehitus OÜ, we are not in full control over how these systems handle your data. Nevertheless, both Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and CRH Ehitus OÜ are trusted platforms with robust security measures in place.

Absolutely, the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central-CRH Ehitus OÜ integration supports all types of shipments: domestic, international, import, export, and cross-trade.

If not, and the feature would be beneficial for other businesses as well, it could potentially be added free of charge. However, for features specific to your business, we can agree on a development cost.
