Why ERP-shipping integration matters for enterprise logistics

Enterprise resource planning systems are designed to centralise critical data across finance, inventory, warehousing, and customer service. But without direct integration with freight tools, logistics remains a silo. Information has to be manually entered, duplicated, or stitched together from carrier portals and emails.

ERP shipping integration solves this by embedding freight functions, like booking, label generation, and

tracking—directly into your core business system. This reduces admin workload, cuts data entry errors, and ensures finance teams have accurate, real-time visibility of freight costs, carrier performance, and delivery status. For enterprise clients, this integration is key to maintaining control as order volumes grow and supply chains become more complex. It supports faster fulfilment, clearer reporting, and a better experience for both customers and internal stakeholders. Learn more about our approach to enterprise freight solutions.

Key business benefits of freight and ERP integration

Integrating freight with your ERP platform unlocks a wide range of operational and strategic benefits. First, it dramatically reduces manual effort. Freight bookings, consignment generation, and invoice reconciliation can all be automated, freeing up time for logistics and finance teams.

Real-time visibility is another critical advantage. With integrated tracking, teams can view shipment status from within the ERP without logging into third-party systems. Exception alerts, delivery updates, and cost data flow directly into the workflows you already use.

Customer service improves too. With accurate ETAs and status updates, your teams can communicate proactively and resolve issues faster. And with better cost allocation, your business gains clarity on freight spend across orders, cost centres, or departments.

Integration also supports scale. As your logistics volumes grow, your systems stay in sync, eliminating the need to hire more staff just to manage manual freight processes. Learn more here about how we support integration and automation across leading ERP platforms.

ERP systems we integrate with

Pronto

Our Pronto shipping integrations allow businesses to manage freight bookings, print labels, and track shipments without leaving the Pronto environment. Through Pronto shipping integration tracking, live freight data appears in your existing dashboards, making it easy to monitor deliveries and costs in real time.

This is especially useful for manufacturers and wholesalers using Pronto to manage national freight movements across multiple warehouses or suppliers. Our integration supports local and national carriers, including multi-leg consignments.

MYOB

We support both MYOB shipping integrations and more advanced MYOB Advanced integrations, giving businesses flexibility depending on their configuration. OpenFreight connects directly to MYOB to automate carrier selection, dispatch bookings, and cost allocation.

This ensures fulfilment workflows run smoothly and freight costs are visible as soon as shipments are booked. Our clients in wholesale and B2B distribution benefit from faster dispatch and improved visibility across finance and logistics. Explore more on our B2B logistics solutions.

eveXso

For high-volume fulfilment centres, eveXso shipping integration provides real-time control over transport workflows. We support eveXso’s integrated transport management system, linking scan-and-pack workflows to dynamic carrier selection and label generation.

This setup is ideal for 3PL providers and eCommerce warehouses that require speed, automation, and precision. By integrating eveXso with freight services, businesses eliminate manual processing and gain full visibility across every order.

SAP

Enterprise supply chains running SAP benefit from a robust SAP shipping integration that feeds freight data into logistics and finance modules. We automate the shipping process in SAP, including booking, label generation, cost application, and delivery updates.

Our integration supports complex supply chains with compliance, traceability, and data governance requirements. For enterprise clients managing domestic and international freight, SAP integration streamlines operations and improves cost control.

NetSuite

Our NetSuite shipping integration allows freight bookings, cost visibility, and tracking data to sync directly with NetSuite’s fulfilment and financial modules. This is especially valuable for retail, wholesale, and subscription-based businesses running on NetSuite.

Freight costs are recorded in real time against sales orders, and customers can receive live tracking updates directly from within NetSuite’s customer communications tools. It’s a powerful setup for digital-first businesses that rely on speed and transparency.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Our integration with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central allows enterprises to manage freight directly within their ERP environment. Freight bookings, label generation and cost capture happen in sync with your sales and warehouse processes, streamlining end-to-end logistics.

With Business Central shipping integration, users can access real-time tracking, automate carrier selection based on predefined rules, and view freight costs tied to each order or project. This integration is ideal for businesses managing inventory across multiple locations or requiring detailed freight cost breakdowns for financial reporting. Whether you're dispatching from a single site or coordinating multi-warehouse fulfilment, our solution ensures data stays aligned and your logistics team stays in control.
