integrated shipping for dynamics gp

Shipping software that keeps orders, labels, and billing in sync

Get your warehouse and your sales workflows in sync. SalesPad® for GP connects shipping with the rest of your operation, so packages move out the door faster, and the details your team needs move with them.

Choose ShipCenter for a full shipping workspace with multi-carrier rate shopping, package management, and built-in freight tools. Or, choose ShipTo to, our UPS Worldship and FedEx Ship Manager Connector, to keep logistics  in the applications your team already uses, without the manual handoff to and from Dynamics GP.

Customer success story  |  handi-craft

With ShipCenter, a better way to ship doubles as a better way to communicate with customers.

For baby bottle company Handi-Craft, having ShipCenter at their disposal has since meant more reliable shipping, plus streamlined communication between Handi-Craft and its customers. As Handi-Craft’s Order Fulfillment Manager puts it: “Once a shipping label is printed, the system automatically sends that information to the customer, and notifies them, [so we don’t have to].”

Why automate shipping with Cavallo?

A Distributor’s Dream, Realized: When an Order Ships, Your Systems (And Your Teams) Know It

Shipping gets expensive and complicated when every package creates another manual task in another disconnected system with another opportunity for error. SalesPad gives distributors a connected shipping process that fits the way their teams operate, so they can:

Keep shipping costs from cutting into margins

Shipping costs can add up quickly, especially when software fees spike alongside shipment volume, or teams can’t confidently quote and recover freight charges.

ShipCenter gives distributors a predictable licensing model without per-shipment fees. Plus, it gives sales and shipping teams access to compare carrier rates and configure freight markups: helping them quote with more confidence and protect margin.

Remove the work between order and shipment

When teams re-enter order information in carrier software and manually bring tracking or freight details back to Dynamics GP, every shipment takes longer than it needs to, and errors are much more likely to sneak in.

SalesPad automates that handoff. ShipCenter and ShipTo move order details into the shipping process and return tracking numbers, freight charges, and ship dates to Dynamics GP (and to SalesPad). ShipTo preserves familiar UPS WorldShip and FedEx Ship Manager workflows, while ShipCenter extends carrier options and also moves completed orders forward for billing.

Ship with the detail each customer requires

Some customers need more than a tracking number. Retail partners may require carton-level detail that shows exactly which items shipped in each package, while international shipments require additional fields and documentation.

ShipCenter keeps item-to-package information connected through fulfillment and shipping: giving distributors the detailed shipment data they need to support D2C and EDI requirements and more complex shipping workflows.

*Note: Not every shipping operation needs the same level of control. If your team is established in UPS WorldShip or FedEx Ship Manager, ShipTo removes the manual handoff. If you need multi-carrier capabilities, granular level visibility, or more control over your shipping process, ShipCenter is built for just that.

Two Ways to Ship with Cavallo

ShipTo or ShipCenter? Keep What Works, or Build for What’s Next

Whether your team needs a direct connection to UPS WorldShip or FedEx Ship Manager, or a complete platform for multi-carrier shipping, freight, and trading partner compliance, SalesPad offers a shipping setup built around your operation. Both ShipTo and ShipCenter keep shipment details connected to your Dynamics GP and SalesPad data, but differ in where your team does its shipping work, and in how much capability your operation will need as it grows.

ShipCenter  |  For growing, complex, or multi-carrier operations

Centralize your entire shipping operation 

Run the whole shipment, creation to labels, in one workspace. ShipCenter gives your team one place to pack, weigh, rate, print labels, and manage shipments.

Your team manages parcel, LTL, package details, and labels in one connected shipping workspace. Then, those shipment details automatically flow back to SalesPad and Dynamics GP.

BEST FOR
  • Teams that ship and quote rates across multiple carriers
  • Parcel and LTL shipping
  • Carton-level tracking and EDI compliance
  • International, consolidated, and custom shipping workflows

With ShipCenter, ship from one place and keep every package detail connected to the order.

    ShipTo  |  For teams already using UPS and FedEx software

    Connect your carrier software to your ERP

    Keep your carrier software and lose the double entry. ShipTo connects Dynamics GP and SalesPad with UPS WorldShip and FedEx Ship Manager.

    Your team keeps shipping in the carrier software it already uses. ShipTo sends order details to the carrier app, then sends tracking numbers and freight charges back to the order.

    BEST FOR
    • Teams that mainly ship with UPS or FedEx
    • Teams already using UPS WorldShip or FedEx Ship Manager
    • Simple parcel shipping needs
    • Businesses that want to remove manual data entry

    You ship in your carrier application, and keep shipment details connected to your ERP.

      Why choose just one?

      You can use both, when it makes sense — and many Cavallo customers do. Here’s what you need to know: ShipTo connects your existing UPS and FedEx workflows to Dynamics GP, while ShipCenter gives you a consolidated workspace for FedEx, UPS, and USPS, among other parcel and LTL carriers.

      Find the Right Fit

      Match your shipping tools to the work you do: ShipTo or ShipCenter?

      Whether your team needs a direct connection to UPS WorldShip or FedEx Ship Manager, or a complete platform for multi-carrier shipping, freight, and retail compliance, SalesPad offers a shipping setup built around your operation.

      Customer Success Story

      National Band Saw

      As the organization grew, National Band Saw needed to move more dropshipped orders without adding manual work (or sacrificing accuracy). With ShipTo, the team connected FedEx and UPS shipping workflows to sales orders and customer records: using custom fields to carry the right shipment details through every order. The result? Fewer manual steps and more orders fulfilled each day. Plus, the two-person team that processes 60 to 100 orders daily at National Band Saw can now do so with up to 98% accuracy.

      “The FedEx and UPS integrations support automation rules and workflows that streamlined our processes and allowed us to increase the number of orders we fulfill daily. [ShipTo] eliminated many of the manual steps that previously slowed the team, ensuring that everything now ships out correctly.”

      Jason Jasperson, Executive Vice President at National Band Saw

      FAQ

      Do I need a SalesPad license to run ShipCenter or ShipTo?
      Only for ShipCenter. ShipCenter operates as a standalone application that integrates with your shared database and strictly requires SalesPad to be run. On the other hand, ShipTo is a lightweight, standalone shipping add-on that can communicate directly between Dynamics GP and your native carrier applications, and does not require SalesPad to automate your data transfer.
      Is ShipTo the same as the UPS WorldShip Connector or FedEx Ship Manager Connector?
      Yes. ShipTo is Cavallo’s current name for our shipping connector solution, which automates data transfer between Dynamics GP and native carrier applications. In some documentation or collateral, you may also see it called the UPS WorldShip Connector, FedEx Ship Manager Connector, or simply the FedEx or UPS integration. (These names refer to the same ShipTo solution and its carrier-specific connector options. Note: ShipTo can be licensed for UPS, FedEx, or both carriers.)
      Are there shipment limits or transactional scaling fees?
      No. Both products protect you from transactional scaling fees. ShipCenter uses flat, site-based concurrent licensing, meaning your business can process an unlimited number of packages with unlimited concurrent users under a single site license. ShipTo is offered under simple, economical connector licensing (UPS-only, FedEx-only, or a bundled carrier connector) with no per-package transaction costs.
      Can we configure custom rules, validation, or automated billing?
      Yes. ShipCenter features robust scripting hooks that allow developers and admins to automate unique shipping logic. You can configure custom scripts such as the Generate Shipment Script to pre-fill shipment information or cancel creation, Post-Package Copy Script to automate package detail population, and Pre-Process Script to validate complex packing rules and prevent finalizing if anything is missing.
      How do ShipTo and ShipCenter handle international compliance?
      ShipCenter natively manages international requirements via modern REST APIs. It supports paperless commercial invoices (preventing invoices from printing when processed) and EU de minimis/IOSS tax tracking. ShipTo delegates physical international document printing directly to native UPS WorldShip and FedEx Ship Manager, meaning compatibility depends entirely on those native carrier apps.
