Business Central
Work smarter, adapt faster and perform better with Business Central
Business Central is the ERP system from Microsoft for small to medium sized businesses. It connects finance, sales, purchasing, projects and all other business processes. It is scalable, simple and easy to implement. It also works seamlessly with all other Microsoft products, such as Word, Excel and Outlook.
Brief history: Business Central is the cloud version of Microsoft Dynamics NAV (formerly Navision). This version was only on-premise and had 200,000 customers worldwide. Since 2019, 40,000 companies have already made the switch to Business Central.
Why Business Central?
- It works seamlessly with other Microsoft products, such as Outlook, Word, Excel and Teams.

- Business Central is scalable and can be extended to grow with you. Microsoft Appsource is the appstore in which you can find 5,000+ add-ons for Business Central.
- Business Central is cloud based. Therefore you will never have to worry about technical maintenance or upgrades. You also no longer have to invest in servers and backups.
- Security is also taken care of by Microsoft if you choose Business Central in the cloud. Security updates are rolled out automatically. You no longer have to wait for patches for your specific version.
- Specifically developed for small to medium sized enterprises. That means that this ERP solution is created to cover all business processes and that it is affordable and easy to implement.
