ERP, SAP and cloudProject + support
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
We don't set up Business Central straight out of the box. We configure it around the way your company works, and fill the gaps with extensions, reports and Microsoft 365 integrations.
In short
Business Central implementation, migration from legacy systems, customisation, reporting and Teams/Copilot integrations.
Implementation and migrationTransfer of customers, vendors, items and open entries from Logo, Netsis or Excel; a go-live plan.
CustomisationAL extensions for company-specific fields, checks, approval workflows and automatic matching.
Together with Microsoft 365Access to Business Central data through Power BI, Excel, Power Apps and Teams.
What it solves
If any of these sound familiar
- You moved to Business Central but work still runs in Excel
- Reports are prepared by hand every month
- Approval and control steps happen outside the system
- Field teams can't use the BC screens

Questions
About Business Central
Do you also work on existing Business Central environments?
Yes. Besides new implementations, we fix processes, develop extensions and build reports in environments already in use.
Should we buy the licence from you?
Licences are purchased through a Microsoft partner. We support implementation, customisation, reporting and day-to-day use.
Can data from our old accounting software be moved to Business Central?
Yes. Master data such as customers, vendors, items, the chart of accounts and opening balances are cleaned before migration and transferred; balances are compared afterwards.
Can we use Business Central through Teams?
Yes. Records can be shared in Teams, and Teams-specific screens can be built with Power Apps and Copilot Studio.
Do we need custom development?
We use the standard structure first. AL extensions are written only where they are really needed, which makes version upgrades easier.
How long does a project take?
It depends on the scope; see the "Duration and pricing" section on this page or talk to us.
