Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is Microsoft’s cloud ERP for small and mid-sized businesses. It runs finance, sales, purchasing, inventory, warehousing, projects and manufacturing in one system, works inside Outlook, Excel and Teams, and includes Copilot. It replaces disconnected accounting software and spreadsheets with one set of numbers.
Microsoft’s US list price is $80 per user per month for Essentials, $110 for Premium and $8 for Team Members, on an annual commitment. Implementation is a one-time cost, typically from about $12,000 for a focused rollout to $100,000 or more for multi-entity projects with custom integrations.
Yes. Business Central replaces QuickBooks when you need more than bookkeeping: inventory and warehouse control, approval workflows, multi-entity reporting or job costing in one system. We migrate customers, vendors, items, open balances and history, then reconcile before cutover. Very small teams with simple books may not need to switch yet.
Yes. Shopify connects through Microsoft’s standard Shopify Connector for Business Central. Salesforce and ServiceNow connect through Business Central’s APIs or Power Automate. Avion also runs Salesforce, Shopify and ServiceNow practices, so one team can work on both sides of each connection.

Most Business Central implementations go live in 8 to 16 weeks. A finance-only rollout for a smaller team sits at the short end; multiple entities, heavy data migration or several integrations push toward the long end. We confirm your timeline in writing after the discovery phase.
Premium adds manufacturing and service management to everything in Essentials. Essentials covers finance, sales, purchasing, inventory, warehousing, projects and basic assembly. Premium adds production orders, routings, capacity planning and service orders. All full users in one environment must be on the same tier, so the choice matters.
Not today, but you should plan for it. Microsoft ends Dynamics GP product support and tax updates on December 31, 2029, and security patches on April 30, 2031. Business Central is Microsoft’s recommended successor. Moving early lets you pick a quiet point in your fiscal year instead of racing the deadline.
Yes, for most discrete and assemble-to-order manufacturers. Business Central Premium covers production BOMs, routings, production orders, capacity planning and supply planning. Complex process manufacturing or advanced shop-floor scheduling usually needs an add-on or a larger system, and we’ll tell you which during discovery.
