The Challenge: Realtime Coordination Across Two Warehouse Facilities

Our client, a rapidly expanding business, faced a critical operational challenge after adding a second facility—a large warehouse. Effective communication between the front desk team in Building 1 and the warehouse/loading team in Building 2 was essential for efficiency and safety. They required a web application to streamline this process, enabling the front desk to log customer arrivals and assign loading lanes while the warehouse team managed bay assignments and loading status. The app needed to support 10-15 simultaneous users with realtime updates, integrate with their Business Central ERP system to update sales orders, and maintain a historical log of customer activity.

Files exchange in between systems is not the best way to integrate. However, when API is unavailable or cannot be used, SFTP (SSH/Secure File Transfer Protocol) can be one of the options to consider

For Business Central on-premises you can use WinSCP dotnet libraries and successfully read/write/delete files directly on SFTP server. However, you can't use this approach for SaaS Business Central. What can be done in that case? The answers are provided in the article below.

Do you like developing integrations like we do in Siberus?

For the last few months we did quite a few of them: bank sFTP connectors, webhook subscriptions etc. They all were totally different but with one thing in common: OAuth 2.0. Below you can find detailed instruction on how to set it up.

We'll use service-to-service connection to avoid using user account for this, so you don't need to have an extra license for your integration - the connector itself will be your "user".

OAuth 2.0 requires intermediate App Registration in the Azure portal to obtain authentication bearer token. It is valid for about 1 hour, but refreshes automatically.

For many growing organizations, standard ERP functionality is only the starting point. As sales structures become more sophisticated, businesses often find themselves relying on manual processes and spreadsheets to fill critical gaps—especially when it comes to commission tracking and profitability analysis.

That was exactly the challenge one of our clients faced before partnering with Siberus.
