Replacing Navision: How Business Central compares

If you’re like most Microsoft Dynamics NAV users, you may have been wondering what to do when it comes to the replacement for Navision. You’re not alone! In fact, over the past few years, a growing number of businesses have been asking themselves this very question. While NAV has been around for years and is still widely used today, its technology is starting to show its age. And for businesses that need the latest and greatest in cloud-based solutions, NAV simply isn’t enough anymore. Fortunately, there are plenty of great NAV replacements out there, and one of the most popular is Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

What is Business Central?

Microsoft’s next-generation enterprise resource planning system (ERP). Business Central takes the foundation of Navision to the next level, with improvements in accessibility, integration, and scalability. Unlike most accounting software, which only addresses a company’s finances, Business Central brings multiple business processes into one software solution. This unification enables companies to reduce waste, increase visibility, and make better data-informed decisions.

One of Business Central’s major advantages is its cloud-based nature. Navision and Business Central both have the full ERP capability when it comes to finance, supply chain and operations. Business Central has a more extensive feature set with the additional “nice to have” modern improvements and out-of-the-box features. Features that used to need specialized development or third-party add-ons in Navision have been integrated into Business Central as standard features.

Reasons For Businesses Switching

A number of businesses have made a switch from Navision to Business Central because Business Central provides more than just accounting. Navision being on-premises only can’t take advantage of the above features unless you buy private cloud hosting or virtualization services. In short: Navision is locked into on-premise servers, but Business Central as true SaaS can be used anywhere, anytime, on any device.

Financial Management Made Easy

Business Central offers functionality for small and mid-sized companies, which streamlines the basic aspects of financial and accounting management. From accounts payable/receivables to financial reconciliation and flow of cash, this application automates a lot of manual processes, reducing time, reducing the chance of errors and ensuring more trust in the financial reports.

Business Central can help with compliance, as well as maintaining documents that are well-organized to be audit-ready. For companies in the market for a reliable Small Business Accounting Software, Business Central offers the streamlined power of automation and the peace of mind of the cloud and security built in.

Implementation and Customization

The process of moving from Navision to Business Central can vary depending on the complexity of a company’s existing processes and any industry-specific requirements it may have.

One of the main benefits of choosing the business central implementation software is its customized ability to manage business operations.
