Automate Dropship Sales with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and Deck Commerce

Dropshipping can be a powerful way for brands to expand product offerings, reduce inventory risk, and scale without adding warehouses or headcount. But it can also be one of the most complex fulfillment models to execute well.

For brands running Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, dropshipping introduces a new layer of operational challenges. Orders may need to be manually routed to vendors, purchase orders created one by one, and fulfillment updates entered by hand. These disconnected steps lead to slower shipping, higher error rates, and strained teams.

Deck Commerce solves that problem by automating the entire dropship process. Our direct integration between your sales channels and Microsoft Business Central enables a seamless workflow from order routing through financial reconciliation.

This post explores what that looks like and why it matters for growing retailers.

Why Dropship Complexity Slows Growth

Dropship fulfillment is supposed to simplify things by removing the need to stock or ship products yourself. But without the right automation in place, it can actually slow operations down.

Common pain points include:

Manually creating purchase orders in Microsoft Business Central
Delays between order placement and vendor confirmation
Missing tracking updates or fulfillment visibility
Inconsistent financial records and reporting
Teams spending hours each week reconciling orders across systems

These challenges grow with scale. The more you sell through drop ship, the more time your team spends managing it unless it is fully automated.

Deck Commerce Automates the Entire Dropship Flow

Deck Commerce connects your commerce platforms and Microsoft Business Central in one integrated workflow that handles dropship operations from end to end.

Here is what it automates:

Order Routing and Vendor Assignment
Deck determines which orders should be fulfilled by dropship vendors based on your business rules, inventory logic, and vendor configurations.

Purchase Order Creation
When a dropship order is received, Deck automatically links the sales order and generates a purchase order in Microsoft Business Central. There is no need for manual entry or data rekeying.

Fulfillment and Tracking Updates
As vendors ship orders, Deck captures fulfillment events and tracking information, then updates the order status across your systems in real time.

Financial Reconciliation
Deck pushes the relevant cost and fulfillment data into Microsoft Business Central, so your finance team always has an accurate view of order and vendor activity.

Scale Without Growing Headcount

Automating drop ship operations does more than save time. It makes your business more agile. You can:

Onboard new vendors faster
Expand product assortment without operational strain
Reduce fulfillment errors
Improve customer satisfaction through faster, more reliable shipping
