Sifting through AppSource—the online store for services and software built on Microsoft products—when you need a certain functionality added to Business Central is a mixed bag. You want to be sure the add-on will work well with your system and that the money you invest will be worth it. If you’re on the hunt for add-ons, let us help.
Our Business Central Add-on Spotlight Webinar Series features ISVs that offer powerful add-ons that can extend your day-to-day ERP capabilities—at a cost much lower than adding a new application to your business tech stack. We’ll cover add-ons for AP automation, eCommerce, HR, Payroll, WMS, EDI, Distribution, Manufacturing, dimension management, AR, and more throughout this series.
Up next is Business Central Addins, and we’ll cover two of the many add-ons they offer: AR & Collections Manager and Dimension Manager.
We invite you to join us for this next webinar, check out our Continia webinar if you’re interested in learning about AP Automation, and keep a look out for our future episodes of this series!
WHAT IS AN ISV?
ISV stands for Independent Software Vendors—they develop and publish software that works as supplemental functionality for existing business systems. This is one type of customization possible within Business Central, and it’s an excellent way to get even more from the ERP you already know and love while still keeping overhead costs low.
At Syvantis, we’ll get to know what kind of additional abilities you want, help you find an add-on that works well for that need, and then facilitate communication with the ISV, implementation of the add-on, and training for your end users.
WHAT IS BUSINESS CENTRAL ADDINS?
Business Central Addins is a sister company to Dynamics NAV Addons and, as their name would suggest, they focus exclusively on adding functionality to Business Central. In their own words, “Our addins address your greatest needs as a Dynamics 365 Business Central user, so that you can save time, resources, and headaches, while making the most of Business Central.”
This webinar will cover two of their popular add-ons:
