Our Purpose

What we set out to solve.

Two commitments that drive every carrier integration, every packing algorithm, and every support call we take.

Mission

End the switching. Make Business Central the only system your shipping team needs.

Shipping labels, carrier rate comparison, packing logic, tracking updates, and billing reconciliation all belong inside your ERP — not scattered across five separate portals. MetaShip collapses that complexity into a single workflow your team already knows.

Vision

A world where every D365 BC shipment is intelligently automated from order to doorstep.

We’re building toward a future where the right carrier, the right box, the right rate, and the right label are chosen automatically for every order — giving operations teams the visibility and confidence to scale without adding headcount.

Zero Middleware Architecture

MetaShip is an extension, not an integration. No API connectors to break, no sync delays, no separate login. It lives where your data already lives — inside Business Central.

🏷️

Multi-Carrier Rate Intelligence

Pull live rates from UPS, FedEx, USPS, DHL, and Purolator simultaneously. Compare by cost, speed, or service — and book in one click without leaving BC.

🔍

End-to-End Shipment Visibility

Real-time tracking from every carrier, surfaced directly on BC records. Delivery confirmed, BC updated — no portal logins, no manual status checks, no customer calls asking “where is my order?”

Our Story

Built from real frustration on the warehouse floor.

Dynamics 365 Business Central is a world-class ERP for finance, inventory, and purchasing. But for shipping, teams were stuck copy-pasting addresses into carrier portals, printing labels from three different systems, and manually updating tracking numbers back into BC.

MetaOption’s certified BC consultants saw this gap repeated across every industry they served. In 2018, they shipped MetaShip — not a connector or a workaround, but a true BC extension that makes shipping a first-class workflow inside the ERP your team already runs.

MetaShip Launched on Microsoft AppSource
The first native multi-carrier shipping extension for Dynamics 365 Business Central — connecting UPS, FedEx, USPS, DHL, and Purolator directly inside BC with zero middleware.
Today — 2026
9 Industries. 5+ Carriers. Continuously Evolving.
Trusted by manufacturers, distributors, 3PLs, and retailers across North America — with smart packing, scan-to-ship, BOL/ASN generation, 3rd-party billing, and live tracking all inside one BC extension.
We had Business Central running everything perfectly — finance, inventory, procurement. But the moment an order was ready to ship, we were back to copy-pasting into FedEx.com. MetaShip closed that loop completely.

Onboarding by Certified BC Consultants

Every MetaShip customer is onboarded by MetaOption’s BC-certified team — not a chatbot. We configure carriers, packing rules, and billing settings to match your exact workflow.

What We Stand For

Principles behind every line of MetaShip code.

01

Native First, Always

Shipping belongs inside your ERP, not bolted onto it from outside. Every MetaShip feature is built as a true BC extension — so there’s no data lag, no separate login, and no risk of a third-party connector going down at the worst moment.

02

Carrier Agnostic by Design

Your business shouldn’t be locked to a single carrier’s rates or reliability. MetaShip compares live rates across all connected carriers on every shipment so the smartest decision happens automatically — not by whoever remembers to check.

03

Operations-Led, Not Engineering-Led

Every workflow in MetaShip was designed around how warehouse teams actually work — not how engineers imagine they do. Scan-to-ship, auto packing, bulk label printing: each feature was tested against real BC shipping operations before it shipped.

04

Committed Beyond Go-Live

We measure success long after onboarding. MetaOption’s consultants stay engaged through every Business Central version upgrade, every new carrier setup, and every configuration change your business needs as it grows.

Carrier Integrations

Every major carrier. One BC extension.

MetaShip connects directly to all major carriers inside Dynamics 365 Business Central — no middleware, no separate accounts dashboard, no duplicate data entry.

From manufacturers to 3PLs — here’s what operations teams experienced after replacing carrier portals with MetaShip.

★★★★★

“We cut our shipping processing time by more than half. No more portal switching, no more re-keying addresses, no more tracking numbers pasted into a spreadsheet. MetaShip made our BC setup feel complete for the first time.”

Shipping Supervisor · Distribution Company, USA
★★★★★

“The auto packing and live rate comparison alone covered the cost of MetaShip in our first month. We’re consistently picking cheaper carriers than we were before — and the right box every time, automatically.”

Operations Manager · Manufacturing, Canada
★★★★★

“MetaOption had us configured and shipping in under two weeks. The extension feels native — not like a bolt-on. Tracking updates, label printing, BOLs — all inside BC. Our team didn’t need any retraining.”
