Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Run Finance, Sales and Operations from One Connected Business Platform
As businesses grow, spreadsheets, standalone accounting software and disconnected applications gradually become barriers to visibility and control. Business Central brings finance, sales, purchasing, inventory, warehousing, projects, manufacturing and service operations together in one cloud ERP. Urewa Technologies helps growing businesses evaluate, implement, migrate, integrate and support it — with a practical focus on process control, usability, reporting and long-term scalability.
Microsoft Dynamics consulting led by professionals with 17+ years of experience across finance, supply chain, manufacturing, retail, distribution, projects and international business operations.
Growth creates complexity faster than most organisations expect. Every application does its own job — and management still has no single version of the truth.
Today

Choose the Right Platform First
Business Central vs Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain
Most ERP disappointment starts with picking the wrong platform, not the wrong partner. Here is how the two Microsoft options actually differ.
Typical organisation sizeSmall and midsize businesses, and midsize divisions of larger groupsLarge, complex or highly regulated organisations and enterprise groups
ScopeOne application covering finance, sales, purchasing, inventory, projects, manufacturing, warehouse and serviceSeparate Finance and Supply Chain applications with deeper functional specialisation

How Urewa advises
Choosing the wrong Dynamics platform is more expensive than choosing late. We look at your entities, transaction volumes, manufacturing model, warehouse reality, statutory reporting and the controls your auditors expect — then recommend the platform that fits, even when that means a smaller project for us.
We use standard Business Central wherever it fits. Extensions are proposed only when the business value and long-term ownership are clear — heavy customisation is what makes upgrades painful.
02
Designed by finance and operations people
Our consultants have implemented ERP for 17+ years. We ask how you close the month, not just which fields you want on a form.
03
Process control, not just data entry
Approvals, credit rules, dimensions and reconciliation are designed in from day one, so the system produces answers auditors and management accept.
04
Realistic scope and phasing
We would rather deliver finance, sales, purchasing and inventory well, then add manufacturing or service, than launch everything half-configured.
05
Migration without carrying old problems
Moving from NAV, Tally or an accounting package is the right moment to retire the workarounds — not to rebuild them in a new system.
06
Support that knows your build
The same team that designs your solution supports it — period-close help, enhancements, release assessments and user training.
Migration
Moving from Dynamics NAV, Tally or Accounting Software
A migration is the best opportunity you will get to retire workarounds. We make sure old problems do not travel with the data.
01
Assess the current environment
Version, customisations, objects in use, integrations, data volumes, reports and the processes that genuinely matter.
02
Separate value from habit
Which customisations create business value, which exist because of an old limitation, and which are now standard functionality in Business Central.
03
Plan data and cutover
Masters, open transactions, balances, historical data policy, reconciliation and a cutover the finance team can sign off.
04
Rebuild integrations properly
Bank files, e-invoicing, portals, marketplaces or third-party tools — reconnected through supported APIs rather than direct database access.
05
Test and train before go-live
Complete business scenarios, statutory outputs, exceptions and reversals, tested by the people who will use the system.
Real-World Patterns
Representative Business Central Scenarios
01
Manufacturing SME
Challenge
Production planning lives in one planner's spreadsheet and costing is calculated after the fact.
Urewa approach
BOMs, routings, work centres, production orders, consumption and output reporting connected to inventory and the ledger.
Expected outcome
Visible production cost and variance, and planning that survives the planner taking leave.
02
Distribution and trading
Challenge
Stock, pricing and customer credit are checked manually before every order.
Urewa approach
Item and pricing structures, availability, credit limits, warehouse picking and automated posting to finance.
Expected outcome
Faster order confirmation with fewer credit and stock surprises.
03
Professional services
Challenge
Project profitability is only known after invoicing, sometimes months later.
Each company reports separately and consolidation happens in spreadsheets.
Urewa approach
Common chart of accounts and dimensions, intercompany transactions and consolidated financial reporting.
Expected outcome
Group-level visibility without running every entity as an island.
05
NAV upgrade
Challenge
A heavily customised Dynamics NAV environment is expensive to maintain and hard to upgrade.
Urewa approach
Customisation assessment, fit-to-standard redesign, data migration and supported extensions on Business Central.
Expected outcome
A supported, upgradable environment with lower maintenance cost.

FAQ
Business Central ERP — Frequently Asked Questions
What is Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central?
Business Central is Microsoft's cloud ERP for small and midsize businesses. It connects finance, sales, purchasing, inventory, warehousing, projects, manufacturing and service management in one application, and integrates with Microsoft 365, Power BI and the Power Platform.
Is Business Central an ERP system?
Yes. Business Central is a full ERP for small and medium businesses — it manages accounting and financial reporting alongside operational processes such as purchasing, inventory, manufacturing and projects, rather than only bookkeeping.
What is the difference between Business Central and Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management?
Business Central is one application designed for small and midsize organisations. Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management are separate enterprise applications with deeper capability for complex ledgers, advanced warehousing, advanced manufacturing and large multi-country operations. The right choice depends on entity structure, transaction volume, process complexity and reporting requirements — Urewa carries out a platform-fit assessment before recommending either.
Does Business Central support GST, TDS and TCS in India?
Yes. Microsoft provides India localisation for Business Central covering areas such as GST, TDS, TCS, GST reconciliation and settlement, e-Invoice, e-Way Bill and accounting audit-trail requirements. The configuration should be validated against your specific tax positions before go-live.
Can we migrate from Dynamics NAV to Business Central?
Yes. Urewa assesses your NAV version, customisations, integrations and data, then defines a migration path — retaining the processes that create value, replacing customisations that are now standard functionality, and rebuilding integrations through supported APIs.
Can Business Central handle manufacturing?
Yes. The Premium licence includes manufacturing capabilities such as production BOMs, routings, work and machine centres, capacity, production orders, consumption and output reporting, subcontracting and production costing. Very complex or high-volume manufacturing may be better suited to Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.
How long does a Business Central implementation take?
It depends on scope, number of companies, data quality, integrations and whether manufacturing or service management is included. A focused finance, sales, purchasing and inventory implementation is typically much shorter than an enterprise ERP programme. Urewa gives an indicative timeline after discovery.
How is Business Central licensed in India?
Business Central is licensed per user, with Essentials and Premium plans plus lower-cost Team Member licences for light users. Pricing depends on the plan, user count and partner arrangement. Urewa provides licensing guidance as part of the assessment so you do not over-buy.
Does Urewa provide support after go-live?
Yes. Urewa provides functional and technical support, period-close assistance, enhancements, integration monitoring, release assessments, user training and managed services.
