Most UK and EU shippers running Dynamics 365 Business Central still rekey orders into DPD myDPD, GLS ShipIT or Royal Mail Click & Drop, then paste tracking numbers back by hand. This connector closes that gap inside Business Central itself.
ECOSIRE builds this as a per-tenant AL extension installed on your Business Central environment (cloud SaaS or on-prem). It adds a Carrier Setup page (API keys, account/contract numbers, sender addresses, default services), a Shipment action on the Sales Order, Warehouse Shipment and posted Sales Shipment pages via page extensions, and a service-mapping table so your BC shipping agents and shipping agent services map to real DPD/GLS/Royal Mail/Deutsche Post product and delivery-option codes.
At pick-and-pack, a user clicks Book Parcel. An AL HTTP client calls the carrier's REST API, returns the parcel/consignment number and a label (PDF/PNG or ZPL for thermal printers). For non-domestic parcels it generates the customs document (CN22/CN23 commercial invoice data) from the shipment lines. The returned tracking number is written back to the shipment and surfaced on the posted document and in the customer's email. A Job Queue entry triggers the carrier's end-of-day manifest / close-out so your collection driver gets a single consolidated handover.
Because it is built to order, the field mapping, weight/dimension sources, label format and which carriers go live are tailored to how you already work — no forcing your data into a generic template. ECOSIRE handles AppSource-style packaging, permission sets, sandbox validation and go-live, then supports it after.
Honest note: this is a custom delivery, not an instant marketplace download. Typical lead time is 2–4 weeks depending on carrier count and account onboarding.
Runs the pick-pack-ship desk and wants one screen — Business Central — to book parcels, print the right label and close the manifest, instead of toggling between BC and three carrier portals.
Owns carrier contracts and SLAs across UK and EU lanes. Needs DPD, GLS and Royal Mail bookings to flow from the actual BC order with correct service codes and customs paperwork, and tracking visible to customer service.
Responsible for the tenant. Prefers a clean per-tenant extension with proper permission sets and event subscribers over base-app modifications, and wants a partner to build, validate in sandbox and support it.

It is build-to-order, not an instant AppSource install. Typical lead time is 2–4 weeks depending on how many carriers go live and how quickly your DPD/GLS/Royal Mail API credentials and contract numbers are available. ECOSIRE builds the AL extension, validates it in your Business Central sandbox, then deploys to production after your sign-off.
Active carrier accounts with API access enabled (DPD, GLS, Royal Mail and/or Deutsche Post), your contract/account numbers, your label printer type (laser or thermal), and a Business Central sandbox environment plus a delegated-admin or installation route. We confirm the exact field mapping with your despatch team during scoping.
The extension uses an AL HTTP client to call each carrier's REST API for booking, label retrieval and manifesting. It extends the Sales Order, Warehouse Shipment and posted Sales Shipment pages via page extensions and hooks posting/warehouse events through AL event subscribers — base application objects are never modified. Credentials are held in isolated storage and the extension exposes its own permission sets.
Yes. Tracking numbers and status are written back into Business Central and can be surfaced through the standard BC REST/OData v4 API, or pushed to Dataverse / the Power Platform for customer portals, Power Automate flows or Power BI reporting. This integration layer is scoped as an option during the build.
Every build includes 30 days of post-go-live defect support. After that, ECOSIRE offers an ongoing support and maintenance arrangement covering carrier API changes (endpoints, service codes, customs-data rules), Business Central version upgrades, and new carriers or services added to the same extension. Carrier APIs change periodically, so a maintenance plan is recommended for production shippers.
