Microsoft technology built for retailers, from ERP to AI.
Business Central ERP for manufacturing, module by module.
Every plant transaction, from a purchase order to a payroll run, lands in the same chart of accounts, so your finance team closes the books on real numbers, not estimates.
General Ledger
Centralize every transaction from the plant floor to the balance sheet in one chart of accounts.
Financial Reporting
Build income statements, balance sheets and custom reports that update as production data flows in.
Accounts Payable
Automate supplier invoices and three way matching against purchase orders and receipts.
Accounts Receivable
Track customer payments and aging without leaving your production schedule behind.
Fixed Assets
Manage depreciation schedules for machinery and equipment across every plant.
Cash Flow Forecasting
Project cash position based on real production and sales commitments, not guesswork.
Work orders, bills of materials and machine capacity live in the same system as your finance data, so a schedule change on the floor shows up everywhere else automatically.
Production Orders
Plan, schedule and track work orders against real machine and labor capacity.
Bill of Materials
Manage multi level BOMs and routings as products and components evolve.
Capacity Planning
See machine and labor capacity before you commit to a delivery date.
Quality Management
Capture inspection results and non conformances against the production order they belong to.
Shop Floor Data Collection
Feed real time labor and machine data back into the ERP without manual entry.
Maintenance Management
Schedule preventive maintenance around production windows, not around guesswork.
Raw materials, work in progress and finished goods are tracked in one place, so purchasing, warehousing and production are never working from different numbers.
Inventory Management
Track raw materials, work in progress and finished goods by lot, bin and location.
Demand Forecasting
Use historical and seasonal data to plan purchasing before shortages happen.
Vendor Management
Track supplier lead times, pricing and performance in one place.
Warehouse Management
Guide picking, packing and receiving with barcode scanning built into daily workflows.
Purchase Order Management
Automate replenishment and approvals as stock crosses reorder points.
Intercompany and Multi Site
Move inventory and costs cleanly between plants and legal entities.
Emissions, energy and waste data sit alongside your financial and production records, so sustainability reporting is a byproduct of daily operations, not a separate project.
Emissions Tracking
Capture Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions data alongside your financial and production data.
Sustainability Reporting
Build ESG reports directly from operational data, without a separate spreadsheet exercise.
Energy and Resource Monitoring
Track energy, water and material usage by plant or production line.
Waste and Material Efficiency
Identify scrap and waste trends tied to specific production orders.
