Lalamove Integration

The Lalamove Integration with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central provides seamless integration of various Lalamove features and functionalities available to developers integrating with Lalamove's delivery services. Here are the key highlights:

Key Features

1. Price Breakdown:

   • Lalamove offers transparency in pricing by providing a detailed breakdown of delivery costs, including base fare, extra mileage, surcharges, and total cost in the specified currency (e.g., SGD).

2. Distance Calculation:

   • The API allows users to retrieve the distance between pick-up and drop-off points, enabling independent verification and reuse of this data for end-clients.

3. Change Driver:

   • If a driver is late or unresponsive, users can change the driver without canceling and resubmitting the order, ensuring minimal hassle.

4. Route Optimization:

   • For deliveries with multiple drop-off locations, the API supports route optimization to find the best route and reduce delivery costs. This can be enabled by setting when creating a quotation.

5. Quotation Validity:

   • The API guarantees the validity of quotations for a specified period, even if prices change, ensuring consistent pricing for users.

6. Proof of Delivery (POD):

   • Users can request proof of delivery, which includes obtaining signatures or taking photos as evidence of successful delivery.

7. Metadata:

   • Developers can attach custom metadata to orders, allowing the inclusion of company-specific information for reference.
