About this Product
The PostNord / Nordic Carrier Connector is a build-to-order Dynamics 365 Business Central extension that turns the Posted/Released Sales Shipment into a one-click booking against PostNord, Bring, GLS and DHL — without leaving BC and without a separate TMS portal.
ECOSIRE writes the extension in AL as table and page extensions on Sales Header, Warehouse Shipment and Posted Sales Shipment, plus a dedicated Carrier Booking setup page and a Nordic Shipment worksheet. Event subscribers (e.g. on OnAfterPostSalesDoc) fire the booking flow, while an HttpClient-based codeunit calls each carrier's REST API (PostNord Booking, Bring Booking & Shipping Guide, GLS, DHL) to create consignments, return labels and reserve pickups. Outbound calls and label fetches run through the Job Queue, so bulk runs never block the user.
Because it is delivered as a per-tenant extension (not a public AppSource app), we tailor it to your carrier contracts, customer numbers, return logic, package types and label format (ZPL/PDF). Real-time tracking statuses are written back to the shipment and surfaced on a Factbox; flexible pickup-point / service-point selection is exposed at order entry. Optional Dataverse / Power Platform sync lets tracking events flow to Power Automate or a customer portal.
This is not an instant download. ECOSIRE scopes, builds, installs the extension on your BC environment (cloud or on-prem), provisions the permission sets, wires your carrier credentials securely, and supports it after go-live. You get clean, upgrade-safe AL code, a documented setup, and a single team that owns both the integration and the Business Central side of it. Pricing is a one-time build fee; ongoing support and carrier-API change tracking are available as an agreement.

Who this is for
Nordic E-commerce Operations Lead

Warehouse / Logistics Manager
Owns the pick-pack-ship flow and wants bulk booking, automatic label printing and pickup scheduling for GLS and DHL collections — without per-order manual entry that slows the dock at cut-off time.

Frequently Asked Questions about PostNord / Nordic Carrier Connector
Is this an instant AppSource download?
No. It is a build-to-order per-tenant extension. ECOSIRE scopes it to your carrier contracts, builds it in AL, then installs it on your Business Central sandbox and production environments. You are not downloading a generic app — you are getting an extension tailored to your PostNord, Bring, GLS and DHL accounts and your shipping process.
How long does delivery take?
A typical build is one working week from kickoff, depending on how many of the four carriers you need on day one, your return and multi-parcel logic, and label-format requirements. We confirm a firm timeline after a short scoping call and deliver to a sandbox first for your sign-off before touching production.
What do you need from us to build it?
Your carrier accounts and API credentials (PostNord, Bring, GLS, DHL), your BC environment access (or a sandbox), your package/service types and any return-label rules, and a contact who knows your current shipping process. We handle the AL development, installation and permission-set configuration.
How does ongoing support and carrier-API changes work?
The one-time fee covers the build, installation and go-live support. Carriers change their APIs periodically, so we offer an optional support agreement that covers monitoring those changes, applying fixes, BC version upgrades (the extension is upgrade-safe by design), and adding new carriers or services later. Without an agreement, changes are handled on a time-and-materials basis.
Will it survive Business Central upgrades?
Yes. It is built as a proper per-tenant extension using table extensions, page extensions and event subscribers — it never modifies the base application. That keeps it compatible across Microsoft's monthly and major BC updates. If a base-app event signature changes, the optional support agreement covers re-aligning it.
Can it integrate with Power Platform or a customer portal?
Yes. Booking and tracking data can sync to Dataverse, letting Power Automate flows, Power BI reports or a customer-facing portal consume tracking events. We can include a sample Power Automate flow and expose the data through the BC OData/REST API as part of the build.
