Smart Carrier Selection
Choosing the right carrier is about more than just moving a package from point A to point B.
Without an integrated carrier selection system, your shipments are being assigned based on defaults, manual decisions, or limited visibility into available options.
NMB Nexus enhances Dynamics 365 with intelligent carrier selection options so you can make the best shipping decision for every order based on real-time business needs.
Carrier selection complexities
What Carrier Options?
Many teams rely on default carriers simply because they can’t see all available carrier services, transit times, and rates during the order and fulfillment process, leading to higher shipping costs and missed service opportunities.
No Automated Carrier Selection Rules
If you’re relying on manual knowledge to find the best carrier for each shipment, you’re risking inconsistent decision-making and difficulty scaling operations. As organizations add carriers, services, geographies, and shipping volumes, manually managing carrier selection becomes increasingly complex.
Automated carrier & service selection
Eliminate manual carrier decision-making with intelligent, rule-based automation. NMB S3 evaluates available carriers, services, rates, transit times, and business requirements to automatically select the optimal shipping option for each order, helping to reduce shipping costs, improve delivery performance, and ensure consistent carrier selection across your organization.
Supports Parcel & LTL Accessorials
Manage the complexities of both parcel and Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) shipping with support for carrier-specific accessorial charges and service requirements. From liftgate and residential delivery fees to inside delivery, hazardous materials, and special handling services, NMB helps ensure shipments are properly configured and costed before they leave the warehouse.
Full API Integration with All Carriers
Connect directly to your carrier network through real-time API integrations that provide instant access to rates, transit times, tracking updates, shipment validation, and service availability. By eliminating manual data entry and disconnected carrier portals, NMB S3 keeps shipment information synchronized across your entire Dynamics 365 environment.
Print Labels & Documents On Demand
Generate carrier-compliant labels, bills of lading, packing slips, customs documentation, hazardous goods paperwork, and other shipping documents directly from Dynamics 365. With on-demand printing and automated data population, warehouse teams can quickly produce accurate documentation whenever and wherever it is needed.
NMB Nexus enhances shipping visibility in Dynamics 365 by bringing shipment status, carrier updates, tracking events, freight information, and compliance data into a single, centralized platform. With real-time insight from order creation through final delivery, teams can monitor every shipment, proactively manage exceptions, and keep customers informed without leaving D365.
The result: a unified D365 shipping experience that provides complete visibility from shipment creation through final delivery, helping teams make faster decisions and deliver a better customer experience.
Balancing Cost, Service & Delivery Expectations

Carrier connections
Carrier integrations bring your fulfillment processes and your shipping metrics together by allowing data to flow seamlessly between carrier interfaces and D365 SCM. Innovations in API connectivity have made connections with global carrier networks easier than ever, but this coming with a complex trade off: as carrier integrations continue to evolve, businesses remaining loyal to home-cooked solutions are steadily falling behind in a market that cannot afford slow-downs.
