Forbes Advisor recently ranked Dynamics 365 Business Central as the top cloud ERP solution for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in 2024. This recognition highlights the platform's robust capabilities and echoes the long-standing recommendations from CBR Technology to our clients.
Forbes Advisor’s Pros and Cons Overview
Pros:
Comprehensive features for large businesses and enterprises
Transparent pricing
Free 30-day trial
Mobile app
Warehouse management and reporting capabilities
In addition to Forbes' pros, Microsoft’s AI Copilot within Dynamics 365 Business Central streamlines workflows and boosts productivity by automating repetitive tasks. Studies show users can complete tasks 27% faster with Copilot.
Cons:
Software integration available as an add-on
No free version available
Despite these drawbacks, Business Central offers a free trial to evaluate the system before purchase. The add-ons provide flexibility, allowing businesses to customize the system to their specific needs.
Why Business Central Stands Out
Forbes Advisor explains, “Microsoft Dynamics 365 [BC] ranks as one of the best ERP systems because it is a comprehensive platform that meets all business management requirements. It boasts a range of applications to manage essential operations, including sales, marketing, customer service, finance, supply chain, and human resources.”
Business Central is designed for SMBs, offering affordability and scalability to support rapid growth. At CBR Technology, we recommend Business Central to clients facing growth challenges, managing multiple systems, or seeking to streamline operations.
Key Features of Business Central
Cloud-Based Deployment: Business Central’s cloud-based deployment consolidates data and supports business growth without large IT infrastructure investments. Microsoft handles hardware and software maintenance tasks, such as backups and patches, ensuring data accessibility and teamwork across different offices and departments.
Financial Management and Accounting: Business Central excels in financial operations, managing accounts payable and receivable, bank reconciliation, general ledger, fixed assets, and cash flow. It maximizes sales by collecting product reviews, processing multi-currency payments, and setting up subscriptions for customer segments. Aggregating data from accounting, sales, and inventory provides critical financial insights for informed decision-making.
Reporting and Analytics: The platform offers built-in dashboards and KPIs updated in real-time for budgeting, forecasting, and resource allocation. It also connects with Power BI to generate and share data visualizations.
Streamlined Human Resources: Business Central’s HR tools manage payroll, employee management, benefits administration, and performance evaluation. Automated workflows, audit trails, and compliance checks streamline operations.
Advanced AI and Data Analytics Integration: Microsoft’s investment in AI, including Copilot in the Dynamics 365 suite, integrates AI features and data analytics seamlessly with Power BI and Power Platform, enabling the creation of data visualizations, dashboards, and KPIs.
Mobile App: The Microsoft Dynamics 365 mobile app allows businesses to handle data and refresh sales records on the go. It integrates with other Microsoft services like Power Apps and Power BI, ensuring synergy across business tools.
Third-Party Integrations: Business Central offers integrations with both Microsoft and non-Microsoft applications, providing flexibility and ensuring data consistency across different departments.
Ease of Use: Business Central’s familiar Microsoft interface makes it easy to learn, and its high customizability allows businesses to tailor the system to their specific needs and workflows.
Security: Equipped with industry-standard encryption and multifactor authentication, Dynamics 365 ensures robust security and privacy measures. Role-based security lets administrators control access based on user roles.
Customer Service and Support: Microsoft Dynamics 365 offers comprehensive support, including digital messaging, voice channels, and live chat. For additional assistance, businesses can opt for expert service at a nominal charge.
Sales and Service Management: Business Central manages sales and service operations efficiently, handling customer relationships, sales orders, and service orders.
Project Management: The platform’s project management capabilities allow for managing contracts, forecasting, estimation, and project quotes, ensuring tasks and timelines are organized and expenses are tracked.
