Business Central is our home ground.
Microsoft's ERP for mid-sized and internationally active companies. We implement it and run it, with a data foundation that lasts and AI directly in the system.
Discuss Business CentralBusiness Central as home, for mid-sized and international companies.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is the ERP system we know inside out: a cloud-based solution for the internationally active mid-market, broad and deep in finance and supply chain, with AI directly in the system. We implement Business Central and run it. Where it reaches its limits, the clean data foundation and the right extension architecture decide success, not the product alone.
Business Central is Microsoft's ERP for the mid-market, part of the Dynamics and Power Platform ecosystem and with AI built in. It covers finance, supply chain, light manufacturing, projects and service in one system, cloud-based and continuously updated. We know its strengths and its limits precisely, from over 25 years in the Business Central and NAV space.
One system, six core areas.
Business Central brings together the core processes of a mid-sized company. More detail on the overview page.
Finance & accounting
General ledger, receivables and payables, fixed assets, cost accounting, consolidation and e-invoicing via PEPPOL.
Supply chain
Purchasing, sales, warehouse, demand planning and order processing in one continuous flow.
Manufacturing
Bills of material, routings, capacities and assembly orders for discrete and light manufacturing.
Projects
Job orders, resources, time tracking and project profitability, with a dedicated Power BI app.
Sales & service
From quote to invoice, service orders and service contracts, with core CRM functions.
Reporting & Power BI
Financial reporting, built-in analysis and dedicated Power BI apps with drill-back.
What Business Central costs, and what each edition includes.
Business Central is licensed per named user and month. Microsoft publishes list prices for Germany based on annual billing, excluding VAT. One rule often decides the budget: within a single tenant, Essentials and Premium cannot be mixed. As soon as some users need manufacturing or service order management, Premium applies to every full licence.
Essentials
- Finance and accounting
- Sales, purchasing, inventory
- Projects
For commercial roles, planning and purchasing. The edition most users work with.
Premium
- Everything from Essentials
- Manufacturing
- Service order management
For companies with their own manufacturing or service operations. It then applies to every full licence in the tenant.
Team Members
- Read and analyse
- Report back times and quantities
- Maintain simple data
For managers and everyone who mostly looks things up rather than entering them.
As of 21 September 2026, public Microsoft list prices for Germany. How many full licences you actually need depends on role distribution, not headcount. In practice, between a third and half of the workforce are candidates for Team Members.
Business Central ships in two release waves per year, in April and October. Microsoft keeps the version current automatically in the cloud. What does not grow automatically is whether the system still reflects what your business does today.
How to solve this for good instead of re-implementing every few years: Just one last major ERP project.

To the data foundation →Where Business Central shines, and where it does not.
Where it reaches its limits
- Very complex detailed planning and discrete manufacturing at SAP level
- Enterprise scale beyond the upper mid-market
- Deep industry functions without a suitable add-on
- Trying to force everything into the standard, unchecked
Where it is strong
- Mid-market, national and international, with several entities
- Breadth and depth in finance and supply chain
- AI built in, Copilot and autonomous agents
- Cleanly extensible, without changing the core
Your data foundation stays, and it decides success. Business Central grows on top of it.

What decision-makers ask about Business Central.
Is Business Central the right choice for our mid-sized company?
For the internationally active mid-market usually yes, especially with several entities. For enterprise complexity with very deep functionality, other systems are the target. We assess your situation honestly.
Can we replace SAP or a legacy system with Business Central?
Yes. We plan and run the switch in a structured way. The real work is the clean data migration, not the installation.
Is AI in Business Central already usable in production?
Yes. Copilot is included in every online licence, and agents such as the Sales Order Agent and the Payables Agent are generally available. Details on the Agents page. Source: Microsoft documentation (learn.microsoft.com).
