Why ExDoc

Stop re-keying. Start shipping.

Manual integration between Business Central and your 3PL warehouse slows teams down, causes errors, and leaves you blind to failures. ExDoc fixes all of that.

Orders sent manually

Sales orders must be manually sent to your warehouse after every release.

Released orders are automatically dispatched to the warehouse the moment you hit Release — no human touch required.

Confirmations lost in email

Shipment confirmations pile up in email and require manual processing.

Despatch and receipt messages flow back into BC and post automatically, updating inventory in real time.

Duplicate messages

Duplicate messages flood the integration pipeline, causing double warehouse actions.

Built-in SHA-256 deduplication detects and removes redundant messages before they cause issues.

Failures go unnoticed

Staff don't know when the integration fails until the customer complains.

Email alerts fire the moment a processing error occurs, with full order context — before the customer notices.

Field-length rejections

Field-length errors cause 3PL message rejections and fulfilment delays.

Real-time field validation catches problems at order entry and blocks release if constraints are violated.

Locked into one format

Mapping configuration locks you into a single 3PL format, making provider changes costly.

A flexible, version-controlled mapping engine supports multiple templates, formats (CSV or JSON), and 3PL providers.
How It Works

How ExDoc connects your supply chain

ExDoc acts as the intelligent bridge between Business Central and your warehouse management system — every message audited, every step automated.

1

Release

An order is released in Business Central, instantly triggering the export.

2

Map & Queue

The mapping engine transforms BC data into your 3PL's exact format and places it in the message queue.

3

Dispatch

Azure Data Factory (or your middleware) collects the message and delivers it to your warehouse.

4

Confirm & Post

Inbound confirmations post Sales Shipments and Transfer Receipts in BC automatically.

Features

Everything you need for production-ready 3PL integration

From event-driven order export to intelligent confirmation processing — ExDoc handles the full integration lifecycle.

Event-Driven Order Export

The moment a sales order is released in Business Central, ExDoc automatically exports it to your 3PL. No job queue delay, no manual step.

Zero latency Duplicate prevention Manual resend

Inbound Confirmation Processing

Warehouse despatch and receipt confirmations flow back into BC and automatically post Sales Shipments and Transfer Receipts.

Auto-posting Partial shipments Lot tracking

Central Message Queue

All integration traffic flows through a single auditable queue with full payload storage, status tracking, and REST API access for Azure Data Factory.

Flexible Mapping Engine

Version-controlled templates transform BC data into exactly what your 3PL expects. Switch providers by changing a template — not the code.

JSON & CSV Version controlled Import/Export

Smart Deduplication

SHA-256 payload hashing on inbound SOAP messages prevents duplicate warehouse actions. Configurable skip or supersede behaviour.

Who It's For

Built for businesses that rely on 3PL warehouses

ExDoc is trusted by wholesalers, retailers, and e-commerce businesses who depend on accurate, automated fulfilment.

Wholesale & Distribution

Ship hundreds of B2B orders daily from a 3PL warehouse. ExDoc ensures every released order reaches the warehouse immediately, and every despatch confirmation updates inventory and invoicing automatically.

E-commerce Fulfilment

Orders flow in from Shopify or other webshops into BC, are fulfilled by your 3PL partner, and despatch confirmations post the sales shipments back — all without staff touching a single integration screen.

Multi-Channel Retail

Manage stock across retail, wholesale, and e-commerce channels from a single BC environment. Transfer orders keep your 3PL warehouse stocked, and receipt confirmations update inventory the moment goods arrive.

Migrating to a New 3PL

The flexible mapping engine and version-controlled templates make switching 3PL providers — or adding a second one — a configuration task, not a development project.
