Throughout the entire manufacturing marketing and sales process—from initial contact, to lead, opportunity, and quoting—all the way to order processing, a manufacturer constantly strives to optimize their processes. This makes sense; the faster and better they do their job, the more competitive they are through lower prices and more customers with increased satisfaction. There are countless moments along the sales and production pipelines with the potential to increase efficiency, and utilizing premier business solutions is perhaps the largest area of opportunity. ERP and CRM solutions such as Dynamics 365 offer features and functionalities to optimize business processes and are highly customizable to meet the needs of any manufacturer.

The process of upgrading Dynamics NAV to Dynamics 365 Business Central is one that many businesses have reservations about.

Dynamics 365 Business Central is Microsoft’s champion for mid-market business management solutions. Business Central was built around the foundation of Dynamics NAV and brings business processes together into a single, easy-to-use interface. Better yet, as part of the Dynamics 365 platform, Business Central is easily connected to other Dynamics 365 applications such as Marketing and Sales to fully synchronize a business’ functionality.

For companies currently using other Microsoft solutions such as Dynamics GP or Dynamics NAV, an upgrade to Business Central would provide many benefits from both an operational and cost standpoint.
