Overview
Cargoson lets you send info between Dynamics 365 Business Central and your carriers automatically — no code required.
Using a TMS is the first step to optimizing your transport and logistics. It allows you to save time, money and CO2 emissions by having all of your carriers on one dashboard.
If your company is using Dynamics 365 Business Central, you can take it a step further: skip the manual steps and automate the shipping process.
What you can automate
Pre-shipment
- Use the sales/purchase orders data in Dynamics 365 Business Central to automatically create shipments in Cargoson
- Display all available shipping options for a given order and let your users choose
- Get a list of parcel lockers from different carriers
- Communicate shipping needs between colleagues
- Hand over the responsibility of comparing and choosing a transport option from third party users or purchase/sales managers to a logistician

- Set up predefined rules to automate transport booking and let the software choose the carrier automatically
Post-shipment

Your time is valuable
If you use multiple carriers, we believe that using one system to work with all of them is the most efficient use of your time and resources.
Skip the manual work

Instead, make use of it: integrate Dynamics 365 Business Central with Cargoson and your data will be exchanged with all of your carriers automatically! This will also avoid human errors.

The carriers you want to use is your decision, not our business.
Cargoson is not a middleman or a forwarder, but your transportation management software.
