FAQ

We offer ongoing integration support and regular updates, ensuring that your Dynamics 365 Business Central and IseKallur systems are always synced and up-to-date. APIs often undergo changes and updates, and it's our job to ensure that these changes don't disrupt your workflow. This means you can always benefit from the latest features and improvements from both Dynamics 365 Business Central and IseKallur.

The IseKallur and Dynamics 365 Business Central integration provides a comprehensive set of capabilities, including Transportation Price Requests, Transportation Orders, Data exchange log, Packaging labels, Tracking. All of these data exchanges with IseKallur are seamlessly integrated directly into your Dynamics 365 Business Central system, enhancing the overall functionality and convenience.

The integrations with carriers, just like the IseKallur 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 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 IseKallur. 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 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 Dynamics 365 Business Central with IseKallur 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 Dynamics 365 Business Central. We'll also guide you on how to request and input the IseKallur API keys into Cargoson.

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

Absolutely, the Dynamics 365 Business Central-IseKallur integration supports all types of shipments: domestic, international, import, export, and cross-trade. The specific services depend on your chosen carrier(s), but we facilitate all freight modes: road, air, sea, rail, and all shipping modes: parcels, LTL and FTL freight shipping, and even parcel lockers.

IseKallur offers the following services: Road.

Yes, we're open to discussing custom feature requests. Each case is unique, so we encourage you to reach out to us at [email protected]. We might already have a solution for either the Dynamics 365 Business Central or the IseKallur side that might cover your need. 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.

Integrating IseKallur directly into Dynamics 365 Business Central through Cargoson simplifies your operations significantly. You can now manage transport orders directly inside Dynamics 365 Business Central, removing the need to log into various carrier systems including IseKallur. Furthermore, it eliminates the necessity to access Cargoson for daily operations, providing a unified and simplified process. While some unique features like analytics or carrier chat may still require logging in to Cargoson, the integration generally minimizes daily tasks, enhances productivity, and reduces potential for errors.
