Pharma Shipping Built for Compliance and Traceability
Automate pharmaceutical shipping, maintain product traceability, and manage multi-carrier operations natively inside Dynamics 365 Business Central.
From pharmaceutical manufacturers to medical device distributors
Healthcare organizations rely on MetaShip to manage compliant, traceable shipping inside Business Central — without disconnected tools.
“MetaShip gave us end-to-end shipment visibility across every order. Audit preparation that used to take weeks now takes hours — everything is inside Business Central.”
“SSCC label generation and carrier rate comparison now happen automatically inside BC. Our shipping team no longer logs into separate carrier portals for every order.”
“We process shipments faster with complete tracking visibility — from order release to delivery confirmation — without leaving Business Central.”
Why Healthcare Shipping Demands More Than Standard Logistics Tools
Pharmaceutical and medical device shipping requires accurate documentation, product traceability, and carrier management. Manual processes and disconnected systems create risk.
Disconnected Shipping & ERP Data
Shipping records maintained outside BC create duplicate entry, data gaps, and reconciliation overhead.
Manual Carrier Selection
Without rate comparison, teams default to familiar carriers — resulting in unnecessary freight costs on every order.
No SSCC Label Automation
GS1/SSCC-compliant labels created manually outside BC — prone to errors and inconsistent with BC records.
Limited Shipment Traceability
Tracking numbers not tied back to sales orders and lot/serial data in BC — reducing audit visibility.
Manual Packing Processes
No barcode-driven packing workflow increases the risk of incorrect shipments for regulated products.
Shipping Costs Added After the Fact
No ability to estimate freight at the quote stage — charges added manually at invoice, creating margin uncertainty.
