Run the whole warehouse from a handheld.
Metabox lives inside Sage 300. Pick, pack, rate-shop every carrier, print the label and post the shipment — without a PC on the floor, and without re-keying anything.

Four places a Sage 300 warehouse quietly loses hours.
Shipping in one system, accounting in another
Staff build the shipment in a carrier tool, then someone re-keys tracking numbers and freight cost back into Sage. Twice the work, twice the typos.
Writes the OE Shipment directly in Sage 300 as the box is packed.
Paper pick slips, and no idea what’s next
Printed slips get lost, reprinted and picked out of order. Nobody on the floor can see what’s urgent without asking a supervisor.
A live Orders Ready to Ship board, priority sorted, every pick validated by scan.
Everything needs a trip to the desktop
Checking stock, recording an item weight or looking up a bin means walking back to a PC — dozens of times a shift.
Every screen runs on the handheld, where the stock actually is.
Freight margin disappears into a spreadsheet
You know what the carrier charged. What you billed, and the spread between them, lives in someone’s side spreadsheet — if it’s tracked at all.
Carrier cost and your marked-up sell rate are separate fields on every shipment.
Built for gloves, scanners and a noisy floor.
Large touch targets, scan-first workflows, screens that read at arm’s length.
Start with shipping. Add modules as you grow.
| Module | What it does | Per location | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shipments | Pack, rate-shop via EasyPost, print labels, day-end manifests, RMA returns. | $495/mo | Detail → |
| Orders | Auto-grouped picking on a live ORS board, with zNext reserved stock. | $225/mo | Detail → |
| Inventory | Live search with netting, barcode labels, weights, photos, bin locations. | $395/mo | Detail → |
| POS | Counter sales on Sage AR and Order Entry, native IC variants, credits. | $245/mo | Detail → |
| Complete Suite | All four modules. Roughly 21% below buying them separately. | $1,075/mo | Pricing → |
Different from the rest of the Sage 300 shipping market.
Published, not quoted
The established players quote on request. Our per-location rates and flat implementation fee are on the website.
Unlimited users per site
Flat per-location licensing. Adding handhelds or seasonal staff doesn’t change the invoice.
Mobile-first, genuinely
Not a desktop app with a mobile view bolted on. Every workflow was designed for a scanner first.
Worth checking before you book a call.
- You run Sage 300 and intend to keep it
- You ship parcels, LTL or both, and want rate shopping at the pack bench
- Staff walk to a PC to check stock or record weights
- You already use, or would add, Orchid Extender
- You want one vendor across picking, shipping, inventory and the counter
- You don’t run Sage 300 — this is built specifically for it
- You need card payment processing inside POS (not supported today)
- You have no Wi-Fi coverage on the floor
- You need wave planning or automated slotting
Built to be implemented by Sage specialists.
Metabox sits alongside the work Sage 300 integration partners already do — Orchid Extender scripting, Information Manager, custom Python inside Sage. Flat, published implementation fees make it straightforward to scope for clients.
Preferred partner: Genatec
