Business Central implementation that follows your business processes
We plan, configure and roll out Business Central so finance, sales, purchasing, inventory and operations run from one system, with data migrated, users trained and integrations tested before go-live.
The challenge
Most ERP projects that struggle don't fail because of the software. Requirements were never written down, data was migrated without reconciliation, or users met the system for the first time on go-live day. Implementation is mostly a process and people problem, with configuration and code in support.
Technology we use
How we approach it
The same four steps apply whether the project is a rollout, an integration or a fix. Only the depth changes.
Discover and map
Workshops with finance, operations and IT document how work flows today. A fit-gap analysis against standard Business Central shows what is worth customizing.
Design and configure
Chart of accounts, dimensions, posting groups, number series, approvals, roles and permissions are set up in a sandbox you can review early.
Migrate and integrate
Master data and opening balances are loaded through repeatable, reconciled runs. Connections to e-commerce, banks, CRM or e-invoicing portals are built and tested.
Test, train, go live
User acceptance testing on real scenarios, role-based training, a cutover plan with a rollback option, and hands-on support through the first period-end close.
What is included
- Fit-gap analysis and solution design document
- Company setup, chart of accounts, dimensions and posting configuration
- Sales, purchasing, inventory, warehouse and manufacturing setup as needed
- Data migration: customers, vendors, items, opening balances, open documents
- AL extensions for gaps standard functionality does not cover
- Integrations and reporting set up alongside the core rollout
- User acceptance testing, training material and administrator handover
- Go-live support and a defined stabilization window
What you get from it
- One version of financial and operational data instead of stitched-together spreadsheets
- Customizations kept as extensions so Microsoft updates don't break the solution
- A documented design that your team or another partner can maintain
- Fewer surprises at go-live because migration and testing are rehearsed

The real trade-offs between Microsoft-hosted and self-hosted Business Central, and the questions that decide it.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a Business Central implementation take?
It depends on scope: the number of legal entities, modules, integrations, data volume and how many gaps need development. A single-entity finance and trade setup is a very different project from a multi-site manufacturing rollout. We give a phased estimate after a discovery session instead of a generic number.
How much does Business Central implementation cost?
Cost depends on scope, licensing, migration effort and customization. Licensing is priced by Microsoft and its licensing partners, separately from implementation services. We provide an estimate once we understand your requirements.
Do you implement both SaaS and on-premises?
Yes. We recommend SaaS for most new projects, but we work with on-premises and hosted deployments where there is a reason for them.
Can you take over a stalled or partly implemented system?
Often, yes. We begin with a short review of configuration, data quality and customizations, then agree what to stabilize, what to redo and what to leave alone.
