If you’re running a growing business in Chicago or anywhere across the U.S., now is the right time to upgrade your ERP. Microsoft’s Dynamics 365 Business Central 2025 Release Wave 1 is here and it’s packed with intelligent features designed to streamline operations, reduce manual work, and improve reporting accuracy.
At Avion Technology Chicago, we help U.S. businesses get the most out of their ERP investments. Whether you’re new to Business Central or ready to upgrade from an older system, this release offers real reasons to take action now.
Why This Release Matters to Growing U.S. Businesses
Business Central 2025 Wave 1 (April–September 2025) focuses on productivity, AI-enhanced insights, platform-wide integration, and manufacturing improvements without the need for excessive customizations.
That means less time fighting systems, and more time focused on growth and profitability.
6 Business-Critical Features in Dynamic 365 Business Central 2025 Wave 1
1. Smarter Error Handling with AI-Powered Messaging
The latest release brings intelligent, context-aware error messages that clearly explain what went wrong and how to fix it. This means faster resolutions, reduced downtime, and a more self-sufficient team. If you’ve been holding off on upgrading due to frustrating or vague errors, this feature alone makes the move worth it.
2. Seamless Integration with Power Platform Tools
Business Central now connects more deeply with Microsoft Power Automate, Power BI, and Power Apps. You can build automated workflows, create low-code apps that operate directly within your ERP, and visualize real-time dashboards for operations, finance, and inventory. At Avion Technology Chicago, we help clients implement these tools right out of the box customized to fit your business processes.
3. Truly Flexible Excel Reporting
You can now generate live, editable Excel reports from Business Central and customize layouts without needing any third-party tools. This simplifies reporting for finance teams, helps auditors maintain accuracy, and provides faster access to critical data for leadership. If your team is still manually formatting exports, this upgrade brings a much-needed efficiency boost.
4. Major Enhancements for Manufacturing Operations
Production orders are now far easier to manage. You can update multiple orders in bulk, print barcoded documents, edit routing information directly, and handle batch tasks with just a few clicks. These updates cut down administrative work and allow your team to focus on production not paperwork. Avion’s local consultants in Chicago are experts in configuring manufacturing-ready Business Central systems, often within just a few weeks.
5. Improved Update Control for Reduced Risk
With Wave 1, your IT team or Avion’s consultants can better manage updates delaying or accelerating deployments, separating sandbox and production rollouts, and using built-in telemetry to monitor system health. This added control helps protect your operations, enables safer testing before go-live, and keeps your ERP environment compliant and stable. We handle the entire update process on your behalf, eliminating the stress and disruption of traditional upgrades.
6. Continuous Compliance with U.S. Regulatory Updates
Microsoft has already released updates like BC26.1 and BC26.2 to address U.S.-specific tax and accounting regulations. These cumulative updates ensure your system remains secure, compliant, and up-to-date without requiring manual patches. As your ERP implementation partner, Avion Technology stays ahead of regulatory changes and ensures your system meets all U.S. standards, with no surprises.
