Recently I was talking to a prospect that already has Dynamics NAV (the old name for Dynamics 365 Business Central) in his group of companies.

The Pressure of the Making Tax Digital (MTD) Deadline A recent CBIZ prospect told me they were hoping to go live on 1 April this year, and they wanted a cloud-based ERP system. Their contract with the incumbent supplier was due for renewal on 31 March, but they had already decided not to go ahead […]
Having gone through the many changes in the life of Dynamics 365 Business Central, I have been reflecting on this latest change to a ‘proper’ cloud solution.

The available to promise system fulfils orders and helps plan production. It’s often built in to business management software, and is available within Dynamics NAV (formerly […]
Recently we went live on Dynamics NAV (Navision) with a customer in the seed industry, this was a tailor fitted solution that let them work they way that they really wanted to. One of the smaller parts of this project was getting the Tasklet Bar Code device up and running so they can speed up […]
