Reliable data exchange is essential in environments where multiple systems continuously communicate with each other. The Flex Messagequeue, developed by Ultimate Maritime Logistics, is an add-on for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (D365FO) that ensures stable, scalable, and fault-tolerant message processing for both inbound and outbound communication.

One central point for all integrations

The Flex Messagequeue acts as a central buffer layer between D365FO and external applications or platforms. By storing messages in a queue before processing them, integrations are decoupled from direct system operations. This approach reduces disruptions, improves performance, and provides full control over every message flow.

Why the standard functionality isn’t always enough

D365FO includes both the Data Management Framework and the Message Processor Framework as standard tools. While these cover part of the integration needs, they also have limitations:

· The Data Management Framework focuses on batch processing of datasets and is less suited for continuous, event-driven message flows.

· The standard Message Processor Framework mainly supports inbound messages, offering limited capabilities for outbound communication.

The Flex Messagequeue builds on these foundations by bringing all integrations together in one central solution. It also supports multiple protocols and technologies, such as HTTP, SFTP, and web services, making it suitable for a wide range of integrations with partners, terminals, and customers.

How it works

· Inbound messages Orders, vessel information, or logistics updates are automatically stored and processed based on company specific business logic within D365FO.

· Outbound messages are queued and sent according to predefined rules and protocols.

· Through comprehensive logging and monitoring, your organization always has full visibility into the status of each message, including the ability to reprocess failed ones.

Key benefits

· Asynchronous processing for improved performance and fault tolerance

· Full logging and control over all message flows

· Flexible business logic per message type

· Support for multiple protocols (HTTP, SFTP, web services)

· Reliable storage and easy reprocessing

· A single, unified framework for both inbound and outbound integrations
