Solutions by industry

Business Central is a horizontal ERP: the base of the system (finance, sales, purchasing, inventory) works for any company, and what changes between sectors is how that base is configured and which extra features are switched on. The sectors on this page are the ones where we've built up the most experience, with real cases and configurations already proven, but that doesn't mean we only work with those activities. Tell us what your company does and what specific processes you need to cover, and we'll tell you honestly whether we're a good fit for your project and what approach would make sense, instead of selling you a generic solution that doesn't match how your business really works.

Almost never from the start. Most sector-specific needs are solved by configuring Business Central's standard product — setting up fields, processes and permissions to match how your company works — and, where needed, adding one of our already-built solutions (size and colour management, fleet control, batch traceability, and others). Custom AL development is reserved for what truly makes your business unique: that very specific process that doesn't fit any standard or existing solution. Always starting with configuration before development has an important advantage: custom development has to be maintained with every update, while standard configuration evolves on its own with new Microsoft versions.

Yes, and it's more common than it seems: a manufacturer that also sells through its own shop, a distributor that provides technical service for what it sells, or a construction company that also manages the rental of its machinery. Many SMEs' reality doesn't fit into a single category, and Business Central is built for that: it's configured to cover both activities at once, sharing the same customer, supplier and accounting base, without duplicating information between "departments" that are actually the same company. This avoids the common problem of having two separate systems for two business lines, with the data disconnected from each other and no combined view of the company's real profitability.

It depends on the scope of your project and how many integrations are involved: implementing finance, sales and purchasing for a simple distribution company is not the same as configuring production, batch traceability and online store integration for a fashion company with several sales channels. A limited project, without complex manufacturing or many integrations, is resolved in a few months; one with more pieces in play takes longer because there's more to configure and test. Either way, we don't give generic timelines before knowing your situation: after an initial diagnosis of your processes and needs, we give you a fixed, realistic timeline, organised by phases, so you know what to expect from the start.
