About Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Dynamics 365 Business Central is an ERP system for finance, sales, service, and operations management. The vendor's site describes modules for financial management, inventory and warehousing, purchasing and fulfillment, project management, and supply chain planning, along with AI-driven agents for expense reporting, sales order processing, and payables. It also lists industry solutions for wholesale distribution, retail, professional services, manufacturing, construction, energy and utilities, and non-profit organizations.
The product targets small and midsize businesses and is delivered as a Microsoft cloud service, accessible on desktop, tablet, and mobile across Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. It integrates with Microsoft 365 applications such as Outlook, Excel, and Teams, and can be extended with industry-specific apps from the Microsoft Marketplace or connected to other systems, such as payroll, through what the vendor's site calls an open architecture.
Pricing is listed by plan: Essentials at 80 USD per user per month, Premium at 110 USD per user per month, and Team Members at 8 USD per user per month, all billed yearly. A free 30-day trial is also offered. The vendor's site states that Business Central is sold and supported exclusively through Microsoft's partner network, and it does not describe how specific third-party integrations beyond the Microsoft ecosystem are configured or supported.
