Run quoting, shipping, and tracking without leaving Business Central

If your team uses Microsoft Business Central to manage orders, chances are freight still sits outside the system.

That usually means jumping between carrier portals, copying data, and chasing tracking updates. It slows down dispatch, creates errors, and leaves teams working with incomplete information.

Cario connects directly with Business Central so your team can manage freight from quote through to delivery inside the same workflow.

Why freight breaks down inside ERP workflows

Most ERP systems handle orders well. Freight is where things start to unravel.

You might recognise this:

• Warehouse teams rekey shipment details into carrier portals

• Logistics staff compare rates manually across different systems

• Tracking numbers get copied back into the ERP after the fact

• Customer service has no real-time visibility

• Finance sees freight costs too late to control them

It works at low volume. It doesn’t hold up as the business grows.

What changes when freight is connected

When freight sits inside Business Central, your process becomes consistent from start to finish.

Instead of splitting tasks across systems, your team can:

• get freight quotes at the point of shipment

• select the right carrier based on cost or service

• create consignments without re-entering data

• generate labels instantly

• manage dispatch and manifests in batches

• track deliveries without chasing updates

It turns freight from a manual add-on into part of your core workflow.

Built for real freight operations

Cario is designed for Australian and New Zealand businesses managing real-world freight challenges.

That includes:

• multiple carriers across metro and regional areas

• different freight types, from parcels to pallets

• multi-site distribution

• complex shipment requirements like dangerous goods

Instead of forcing your team to adapt to rigid systems, it fits into how freight actually works on the ground.

Works with the systems you already use

Cario integrates with a wide range of ERP, WMS, and eCommerce platforms.

When this becomes critical

Most businesses start looking at this when:

• shipment volumes increase and manual work becomes a bottleneck

• customer service is overwhelmed with delivery enquiries

• freight costs are rising without clear visibility

• multiple warehouses or carriers create inconsistency

• ERP data doesn’t reflect what’s actually happening in dispatch

At that point, connecting freight properly is no longer optional.

Final thought

Freight is one of the most operationally intensive parts of your business. When it sits outside your ERP, it creates gaps across teams.

Bringing it into Business Central gives you a single, consistent way to manage orders, shipments, and delivery outcomes.

That’s where teams start to regain control.
