Why DropStream

A Business Central integration you can count on.

Business Central is your system of record. When orders need custom handling, the built-in connectors leave your team to do it manually, and finance and operations end up with different numbers. DropStream automates your custom workflows and keeps Business Central accurate, backed by 15+ years connecting ecommerce and fulfillment systems.

Built for custom workflows

Routing, splits, holds, and kits run as rules your team can change.

Your Connected Stack

Connect Business Central once. Automate everything after the order.

Business Central holds the order. The warehouses, 3PLs, and carriers that fulfill it sit outside it. DropStream connects them and applies your fulfillment rules before each order goes out, so your data keeps flowing.

What Business Central connects to:

  • Warehouses and 3PLs: Orders go to the WMS or 3PL that picks and packs them, including Extensiv, Logiwa, Deposco, Manhattan, VeraCore, and ShipBob.
  • Shipping platforms: Ship from your own warehouse? Orders go to ShipStation or EasyPost for labels, and tracking comes back.
  • Finance records: Tracking and shipped quantities post back to the order line by line, partial shipments included, so finance and operations see the same numbers.
  • Custom systems: No pre-built connector for a system you run? We build a custom integration with you, in weeks, not quarters.
A connection map for Business Central fulfillment. Orders from sales channels such as Shopify, Amazon and Target are entered in Business Central. Business Central sales orders flow into DropStream, which connects, maps, automates and monitors them, applying fulfillment rules before each order goes out to warehouses, WMS and 3PLs including Extensiv, Logiwa and ShipBob, or shipping platforms ShipStation and EasyPost. Tracking and shipped quantities return to Business Central.
The Simpler Path

Built-in connectors cover the basics. DropStream covers your custom workflows.

Microsoft’s built-in connectors handle standard syncs. When fulfillment needs custom rules or a 3PL, here is how the options compare.

Microsoft’s built-in connectors.
The upside: included, and fine for standard syncs.
The catch: no built-in 3PL connection, and anything custom means custom code.

Build it yourself.
The upside: full control with custom code or an integration platform.
The catch: a project your team maintains every time Business Central updates.

DropStream.
The upside: pre-built 3PL and WMS connections and a rules engine for custom workflows, maintained by us.
Best fit when: you want it live in days, not weeks.

A comparison of Microsoft’s built-in connectors for Business Central and DropStream. The built-in connectors have no 3PL connection, need custom code for custom workflows, split shipments, and cases and kits, review exceptions manually, and have extensions updated each release. DropStream provides pre-built WMS and 3PL connections, rules your team sets, split shipments routed and posted back by line, exceptions held with a reason, cases and kits converted back to the order’s unit, and nothing installed, maintained by DropStream.
Who It Is For

Two sides of Business Central. One flow after the order.

Partnership in Practice

Custom workflows, built with you.

Your team configures the everyday rules. We build the rest alongside you.

A new 3PL comes on, a kit changes, or a customer’s orders need a hold. Your team updates the rule in DropStream’s rules engine, and the change is live. No code, no rebuild.

When a workflow needs more, we scope it with your team and build it together, in weeks, not quarters. Scoping is never an extra fee.

After launch, you reach the same specialists for support. Founder-led since 2010 and privately owned, DropStream prices on connections: no hidden fees, no peak surcharges, no volume thresholds.

FAQ

The questions teams ask about Business Central integrations

What is a Business Central integration?
A Business Central integration connects Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central to the systems that fulfill its orders, such as 3PLs, warehouse management systems, and shipping platforms. Orders go to the right warehouse, and tracking comes back automatically. DropStream’s is pre-built for fulfillment and goes live in days, not weeks.
When do we need more than Business Central’s built-in connectors?
When your workflows need custom handling. Common signs are routing by rule, split shipments, kits, holds, or a move to a 3PL. The built-in connectors handle standard syncs, and going further usually means custom code. DropStream runs those workflows as rules your team can change, and we maintain the connection.
How do I connect Business Central to a 3PL or WMS?
With a pre-built connection. Business Central’s warehouse features cover your own warehouse, with no built-in 3PL connection. DropStream imports your open sales orders, applies your rules, sends each order to your 3PL or WMS, and posts tracking and shipped quantities back. Setup guide.
Why choose DropStream over an iPaaS?
An iPaaS gives you tools to build integrations, and your team builds and maintains them. DropStream is built for fulfillment: 200+ pre-built integrations, a rules engine for custom workflows, and specialists who set it up with you and keep it running. Your team configures instead of codes.
What workflows can DropStream automate for Business Central orders?
Routing by rule or available inventory, splitting orders across warehouses, bundling orders, timed holds, holds for review, kit expansion, and shipping-method mapping, all applied before the order goes out. Tracking and partial shipments post back line by line. Rules for imported orders.
How does DropStream handle cases, kits, and units of measure?
When a Business Central order is placed in cases or kits and the warehouse ships units, DropStream converts the shipped quantity back to the order’s unit of measure, so the shipment matches the original order. You can send the unit quantity instead. Ship quantity settings.
What happens when Microsoft updates Business Central?
DropStream connects through Business Central’s API, so there’s no extension for you or your Microsoft partner to update. If an update changes something on Microsoft’s side, our team handles it. We maintain the connection, monitor every sync, and run at 99.98% platform uptime.
How long does it take to go live?
Days, not weeks, for a standard Business Central connection. Our onboarding team maps your items and units, sets up your rules with you, and tests it with a live order. Custom workflows take weeks, not quarters, and scoping is never an extra fee.
