01 / Flagship module
Pack, rate-shop and ship — without leaving the floor.
Build the shipment on a handheld, rate-shop every major carrier through EasyPost, and post it straight back to Sage 300 Order Entry. No desktop required.
Everything between a packed box and a printed label.
Sage 300 OE Shipments
Every packed shipment writes into Sage 300 Order Entry as an OE Shipment. No double entry, no separate system of record.
EasyPost rate shopping
Compare live rates across every major carrier on one screen, right after the box is built.
Markup tracking
Carrier cost and your sell rate are separate fields on every shipment, so freight margin is reportable, not a spreadsheet afterthought.
Day-end manifests
A carrier-grouped daily rollup of shipments, boxes and cost, with one-click manifests for carriers that require them.
Return labels (RMA)
Once a return is authorised in Orchid RMA, Metabox packs it and generates the return label through the same workflow.
Audit & reprint
Look up any completed shipment or return by document number and reprint the invoice or shipping tag.
Boxing & palletization
Multi-box shipments with per-box dimensions and weight, plus a palletization process for larger outbound freight.
IP camera integration
Tie packing verification to camera footage for an extra layer of accuracy and accountability.
Scale integration
Connect a handheld scale so box weight is captured directly, feeding accurate rate shopping every time.
Step by step.
Scan product
Add items to the shipment by scan.
Build boxes
Assign items to boxes with dimensions and weight.
Rate shop
Compare live EasyPost carrier rates in one tap.
Print tags
One label per box on your Zebra printer.
Post
Post with or without invoice — invoicing stays optional at ship time.
Margin capture, built in
Most rate-shopping tools show you the carrier cost. Metabox tracks your marked-up sell rate as a separate field, so freight margin is visible and reportable.
Returns depend on Orchid RMA
Return labels require an authorised return from Orchid RMA, a separate Sage 300 add-on. Once the RMA exists, Metabox handles the reverse-logistics label.
