Business Central implementation

A structured rollout that gets your team working in Business Central with clean data, tested processes and support after go-live.

Common problems

Why ERP projects go sideways

Most failed implementations fail for the same few reasons. Our method is built to prevent each one.

  • Vague scope. Nobody agrees on what “done” means, so the budget keeps moving.
  • Dirty data. Old records are loaded as-is and cause problems from day one.
  • Too much customization. Custom code replaces standard features and makes upgrades harder.
  • Rushed testing. Real processes aren’t tested end to end before go-live.
  • Untrained users. People go back to spreadsheets because nobody showed them how.

Examples

What an implementation looks like

Illustrative scenario

Wholesale distributor

Challenge
Inventory kept in spreadsheets, accounting in a separate system and purchase orders written by hand.
Approach
Business Central with inventory, purchasing and warehouse receiving, picking and shipping.
Intended outcome
One view of stock across locations and purchasing driven by reorder points.
Illustrative scenario

E-commerce business

Challenge
Shopify orders, stock levels and accounting handled in three places and reconciled by hand.
Approach
Business Central connected to Shopify for orders, items, stock and payments.
Intended outcome
Less manual order entry and stock levels that stay in step with the online store.
Illustrative scenario

Manufacturing company

Challenge
Little visibility into production and product costs worked out in spreadsheets.
Approach
Business Central Premium with bills of materials, production orders and cost reporting.
Intended outcome
Planned production and product costs that come straight from the system.

These scenarios show how we approach typical projects. They are not client case studies.

Timeline & cost

What drives the size of a project

You get a fixed scope and estimate after discovery, based on your business rather than a guess. Try the cost estimator.

  • Modules in scope. Finance only, or also inventory, warehousing and manufacturing.
  • Companies and locations. Multi-entity and multi-warehouse setups take more work.
  • Data volume and quality. Clean data loads faster than messy data.
  • Integrations. Each connected system adds design and testing time.
  • Custom development. Extensions are scoped and estimated separately.
