3PL Integration for Business Central: 1-Hr Assessment
New Technology Research
Your Webstore Sold It. Your 3PL Shipped It Yesterday. Nobody Told Business Central.
Most 3PL integrations sync overnight, which means you spend every working day selling against yesterday's inventory number. Sometimes that means a cancelled order and an apology. Sometimes it means paying to expedite a replacement. Either way you find out after the customer does.
The fix is not more frequent spreadsheet exports. It is a direct connection between Business Central and your logistics partner, so stock levels, orders, and shipment confirmations move without a person in the middle.

Operational Outcomes You Can Expect
- Inventory That Matches the Shelf: Stock levels update as the warehouse picks and receives, so your sales team and your webstore are working from what is actually available right now.
- Orders That Send Themselves: Business Central releases the order to your 3PL automatically. No CSV export, no attachment, no one re-keying line items into a partner portal.
- Shipments and Tracking Flow Back: Shipment confirmations post against the order in Business Central and tracking numbers reach the customer without anyone chasing them.
- Freight and Storage Billing You Can Check: Reconcile what your 3PL invoices against contracted rates and actual activity, so overbilling gets caught in the month it happens instead of never.
- EDI or API, Whichever Your Partner Runs: Legacy providers on EDI 940 and 945, modern providers on REST. We build to what your partner actually supports rather than forcing them onto something new.
