Insight Works, a leading provider of warehouse and shipping solutions for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, today released Dynamic Ship 2.9, delivering powerful new capabilities that transform how businesses manage outbound and inbound shipping directly within Business Central.
Dynamic Ship is the comprehensive shipping solution that goes far beyond basic carrier integration. While many warehouse management systems include entry-level shipping tools, Dynamic Ship provides enterprise-grade functionality, including real-time rate shopping across hundreds of parcel, LTL, and FTL carriers, advanced package management, detailed tracking, and seamless handheld scanning support.
For organizations needing simple domestic parcel shipping, Insight Works also offers Order Ship Express, a truly free app with no hidden costs or limitations, providing an easy on-ramp to efficient shipping in Business Central.
