What is Microsoft Dynamics Business Central?

Dynamics 365 Business Central – often shortened to Business Central – is a powerful business management software solution from Microsoft. You can use it to keep track of every aspect of your business, from finances and sales to supply chain, inventory and customer relationships.

You may already be familiar with the term ‘ERP’ – it stands for Enterprise Resource Planning software. Business Central is available as a cloud ERP. It’s hosted securely and remotely, and can be accessed anywhere with an internet connection, helping you stay on top of your business at all times.

Growing businesses navigate the same complex tasks and workflows as major organisations, but with fewer resources. Business Central lets SMEs, startups and scaling businesses access an enterprise-level ERP at a cost-effective price point. Integrating seamlessly with familiar tools like Outlook, Teams and Excel, the platform helps teams automate routine tasks and manage their work from a central workspace.

Benefits of Business Central for SME

Business Central gives you real-time financial visibility, scalable cloud access from anywhere, automation of manual processes, and an easy upgrade from outdated software - helping you reduce costs, improve control, and support business growth.

Gain complete financial visibility

Real-time reporting provides to-the-minute insight into your financial performance. Dive deep into the data with comprehensive forecasting and an intuitive dashboard.

Replace software you’ve outgrown

Agile cloud ERPs like Business Central can offer better insight and control than accounting-only software like Sage and Xero. With the right support, switching is easy, with minimal disruption to your business.

Work from anywhere

A true cloud ERP, you can access Business Central at any time from anywhere in the world on desktop or mobile. Never wait for an update; the information you need is always at your fingertips.

When you’re scaling your business, software should scale with you, not hold you back. Go from five to 500 users in a snap, with no extra infrastructure needed.

Business Central for finance teams

Finance professionals know just how important it is to have the right processes in place.: Manual account reconciliation, profit and loss tracking and disjointed record systems can all cause frustration and ultimately waste time.

Using Copilot, Microsoft’s powerful AI technology, Business Central uses data from across your organisation – like sales, supply chain and inventory information – to make smart matches that streamline account reconciliation. A live dashboard gives you real-time reporting into your company’s profit and loss status, pinpointing performance to specific departments and regions.

Business Central for IT teams

On-premises servers are costly and risky.: Costly upgrades, complex integrations and ever-increasing security risks are all major reasons to transition to cloud-based hosting.

As a true cloud ERP, Business Central benefits IT teams with automatic updates and native Microsoft 365 integration. That means fewer upgrade projects, less time spent on integrations and lower infrastructure spending – freeing up your team’s budget for more meaningful investments.

Business Central is hosted on Microsoft Azure, a robust, enterprise-grade cloud security system that follows Zero Trust security principles.

Business Central for scaling businesses

We know that tech has the power to transform business performance.: But we rarely consider how it can hold us back — until it becomes a problem. When your business is growing, you must quickly adapt to accommodate new clients, new services, new suppliers, new divisions and often new regions.

Accounting-only software and lower-capacity ERPs aren’t built to grow at this pace, which can mean slower processes when you need to go faster. Business Central is designed for easy scaling. It helps growing businesses navigate expansion, mergers and acquisitions by consolidating data and unifying processes. Plus, its multi-entity reporting capabilities let you keep track of all parts of the business – including subsidiaries – without leaving your workspace.

If you’re scaling internationally, Business Central is already set up for global expansion, with multiple languages and currencies built in. This allows you to pull financial data from across the globe and gain a centralised view within a single platform.

Migrating to Business Central

If you’re still using Sage, Xero or an on-premises solution and want a sleeker solution.: Moving to Business Central is simpler than you think.

Business Central: UK case studies

Hadrian Healthcare

Hadrian Healthcare moved from Sage Line 500 to Dynamics 365 Business Central with Synergi. After using a slow on-premises system that was struggling to scale with the growing business, the family-owned care home operator knew they needed a better solution.

“We operate 12 companies, and with Sage you always had to leave one company before going into another. Now, with Business Central, I can literally have five different companies open at the same time.

“[Synergi] designed a template that can now extract all the information we need to produce our management accounts at the click of a button.”
