Business Central solutions
What a Microsoft Business Central solution involves
Business Central is the software. The solution is the scoping, licensing, migration, integration and support around it. This is how the work usually runs.
- 01
Fit assessment against your finance and operations processes
We look at how you invoice, buy, hold stock and report today, then map that to standard Business Central so you know what works out of the box and what needs configuring.
- 02
Licensing and cost planning
Business Central is licensed per named user as Essentials or Premium, with free team member access for light users. We size the mix so you only pay for the people who genuinely run the system.
- 03
Implementation and data migration
Chart of accounts, customers, suppliers, items and open balances are migrated from Sage, QuickBooks, Dynamics NAV or spreadsheets, with a parallel period before you switch off the old system.
- 04
Add-ons and integrations
Business Central connects to Microsoft 365, Power BI, Dynamics 365 CRM, e-commerce platforms and industry add-ons from Microsoft AppSource, so it fits your operation rather than the other way around.
- 05
Support and continuous improvement
After go-live you get a named support route for user changes, new reports, month-end questions and Microsoft's twice-yearly release waves.
Try Business Central in an environment built around your business
Most trials drop you into a generic demo company that looks nothing like the way you actually work. Ours doesn't. We configure your free trial around your business and the use case you care about, so you and your team can test real scenarios with data and processes you recognise.
It starts with a short questionnaire about your industry, your current systems and what you want to prove out. Once that's back with us, your tailored trial can usually be made available within a few working days. Prefer a guided walkthrough first? A standard demo is still on the table - just tell us which you'd like.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is an all-in-one business management solution. Designed for small to medium-sized businesses, Business Central enables companies to manage their finances, sales, service, and operations within a single integrated platform. This cloud-based ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) solution helps businesses streamline their processes, make informed decisions, and accelerate growth by providing comprehensive tools for financial management, supply chain, inventory, project management, and more.
An ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), is a type of software that organisations use to manage and integrate the important parts of their businesses. ERP systems bring together various functions, including inventory and order management, accounting, human resources, customer relationship management (CRM), and more, into one complete system to streamline processes and information across the organisation.
An ERP tool is used to integrate back-office business processes and facilitate the flow of information within an organisation so business decisions can be data-driven.
ERP tools help businesses improve efficiency, enhance visibility, support data-driven decision-making, increase collaboration and ensure compliance.
Dynamics 365 Business Central costs (or pricing) are based on a per user basis. However, it's important to note that not every user in your business or organisation may need a license to use Business Central. For example, you may be a 45 person business but you may only have a need for a small number of licenses - those will actually use and manage your Business Central instance.
The cost of your Business Central implementation will depend on your specific and unique use case. For example, if your use case is fairly basic, you can expect a lower implementation cost. If you have a lot of complex processes or bespoke needs, your implementation may take longer. When you make your enquiry, we'll be able to talk you through your options and provide a more accurate cost.
