Cargo Import manages the long-term nature of your consignments and cargo imports in Dynamics 365 Business Central.
Whether your business relies on exports, or customs clearances, transport, or brokerage, Cargo Import can help. Avoid relying on paper-based reports and spreadsheets of vessel arrivals.
Importers and transport companies using Business Central will be able to simply maintain a summary view of all of their inbound and outbound cargo.
Consignment tracking
