Streamlined Insightful Financials

Speed up financial processes including reporting and closing, without compromising on accuracy. Business Central also gives you more accurate forecasts that you can use to make smarter decisions about your business.

It automates time-intensive processes like reporting and book closing, so you've more time to analyse your data. With its built in tools, you can slice-and-dice your data, and analyse it across multiple dimensions.

Data for Smarter Decisions

Connect data across accounting, sales, purchasing, stock, & customer interactions for a holistic view of your business. See performance in real time with Power BI dashboards.

Speed Up Reporting & Closing

Streamline accounts receivables & payables, & automatically reconcile accounts for closure & financial reporting, while maintaining accuracy & compliance.

Built-In Slice-&-Dice Analysis

Refine financial forecasts by modelling & analysing data across multiple dimensions. Customise reports using seamless Microsoft Excel integration.

Automated Supply Chain Management

Avoid losing sales while avoiding overstock, stretch your payables, and secure greater control over the purchasing process - so you save costs throughout the supply chain.

Get smart recommendations about your stock levels and lead times, when you should reorder new stock, and when you should pay your suppliers to enjoy discounts or avoid penalties. Standardised purchasing workflows also enforce approvals to reduce needless and fraudulent purchases.

Stretch Your Payables

Use built-in intelligence to predict when & what stock items to replenish. Maximise profitability by purchasing only what you need with dynamically updated stock levels.

Avoid Lost Sales & Wastages

Maintain the right amount of stock by automatically calculating stock levels, lead times, & reorder points. Suggest substitutes when requested items are out of stock.

Maximise Profitability

Get recommendations on when to pay suppliers to use supplier discounts or avoid overdue penalties. Prevent unnecessary or fraudulent purchases through approval workflows.

Optimise Sales & Service Strategies

Recognise where the best opportunities lie across the sales cycle. Business Central's also integrated with Outlook, so you can quote and invoice customers without having to leave your inbox — so you can respond to customers even quicker.

An add-on module makes it easy to manage and track services, from scheduling service calls and resources to estimating and billing — no more spreadsheet wrangling.

Centralise Service Management

Business Central's job timesheets give you a single overview of resources, costs (including actual and variance), and project progress - so you can manage everything in one place. The job costing functionality also gives you a more accurate picture of each project's financial value, even if the job is still in progress.

Optimise your manufacturing processes while simplifying it, for better visibility of your inventory. With Business Central, you can respond faster to customer demand, without tying up too much capital in inventory.

Business Central can help automate production planning with inventory and sales forecasts, so you get production capacity and resources just right to meet customer demand. You can also track item movements and transactions in detail, making it easier and faster to fulfil orders.

Forecasting to Fulfilment

Use sales forecasts & expected stock-outs to automatically generate production plans & create purchase orders.

Choose Cloud, On-premise, or Hybrid Cloud

Microsoft Dynamics Business Central runs where you need it, in the cloud or on-premises, with the same user experience no matter how you deploy.

Take Your Business on the Go, Anytime

Business Central's mobile app supports cloud & on-premise users with a modern, consistent experience across Windows, Android, or IOS devices.
