Supply Chain Cloud helps you find the most effective shipping options and connects you directly with the carrier.

Supply Chain Cloud is an Azure product with connectors for multiple host systems that shops top parcel carriers to provide you with accurate shipping estimates based on package weight, dimensions, delivery location, and time.

Once you select your preferred carrier and delivery method, Supply Chain Cloud gives you the option to generate carrier compliant shipping labels and tracking numbers. All the shipping data ties back to your enterprise system to support account assignments and billing.

This list walks you through configuring Supply Chain Cloud with Dynamics 365 Business Central.
