What we solve
Start from the problem, not the module name
On the left is what usually hurts. On the right is how it looks in Business Central after go-live.
The monthly report takes a week and every number disagrees
Finance
One ledger, one report
General ledger, VAT and period close in one loop. Management reporting is built from the same entries accounting works in.
Stock in the system doesn't match what's on the shelf
Inventory & production
Records you can trust
Lots, serials and costing by the method you chose. Production planning accounts for real materials and capacity, not optimism.
Every department brings its own version of the same number
Power BI analytics
One number, one source
Dashboards run directly on Business Central data — no exports to Excel, no manual nightly refresh.
Approvals get stuck in email waiting for a person
Automation
Routine that runs without reminders
Power Automate drives requests, reminders and documents. People step in where a decision is needed, not a signature.

Ecosystem
Everything connected.
Business Central is not one more app beside the others. It is the core where finance, sales, warehouse and production run on the same data. Pick a module to see what it looks like inside.

A legacy system vs Business Central
One dataset
Finance, warehouse and sales are the same numbers — not three reports from three systems.
The usual way: Reports assembled in Excel overnight · Warehouse and finance data don't match
Microsoft cloud
Automatic updates, access from any device, infrastructure on Microsoft's side.
The usual way: Upgrades are an expensive, scary project · No access from a phone
Native integration
Excel, Outlook, Teams and Power BI — with no separate connectors.
Business Central + AI
Your ERP can do more than store data.
The data is already in the system. The question is whether anyone asks it anything. Pick an example from the list.

Why NBCS
What stands behind the work, besides slides
NBCS (Next Business Consulting Solutions) is a Ukrainian team implementing Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central: migration from 1C and BAS, finance, warehouse and manufacturing setup, and support after go-live. We don't try to be a universal integrator. We work only with the Microsoft ecosystem — and that is why we know it deeper.
Business Central specialisation
We work exclusively with the Microsoft Dynamics 365 ecosystem, without spreading across other platforms.
Microsoft standards
Implementation follows official documentation and AppSource practices — the solution stays upgrade-safe and doesn't lock you to one contractor.
A managed project
Fixed scope, clear milestones and transparent communication at every stage — no budget surprises.
Long-term support
SLA agreements and proactive monitoring after go-live, not disappearing once the form is signed.
Two working languages
Project team and documentation in Ukrainian and English — convenient for companies with foreign ownership.
Direct contact
No intermediaries
More about the team and approach
Where we focus
The six areas businesses ask for most often. The full list, with timelines and scope, lives on the services page.
Business Central Implementation
We take the system live end to end: processes, data, and a trained team.
Customization & AL Development
We build what the standard lacks — as separate extensions that survive updates.
Process Automation
We take manual approvals, copy-paste and reminders out of the working day.
ERP Consulting
We help you decide what to automate first and what can wait.
Power BI Dashboards
We present business numbers so a manager reads them, not an analyst.
Azure Integration
We connect Business Central to your bank, website and warehouse over secure APIs.
Industries where we create results
We adapt Business Central to the specifics of your industry — from manufacturing to distribution.
- ManufacturingBusiness Central for manufacturers: capacity planning, BOMs and real-time cost control.
- WholesaleERP for wholesalers: purchasing, pricing and shipments managed from one system.
- RetailBusiness Central for retail: unified inventory, sales and stock across online and offline.
- FinanceBusiness Central for finance teams: general ledger, budgeting and reporting automation.
- HealthcareERP for healthcare and pharma: materials, procurement and compliance in one place.
- Professional ServicesBusiness Central for service and project firms: project, time and profitability tracking.
Eight phases, and what actually happens in each
Data migration, testing and the first weeks after go-live raise the most questions — so they are described in more detail.
Discovery
Understanding the business, the goals and the constraints. The output is an agreed scope and an explicit list of what is out of it.
Process analysis
How finance, warehouse and production work today. We record gaps, duplication and every place data is entered twice.
Solution design
Roadmap, roles, permissions and the list of customisations. This is where we decide what stays standard and what needs an AL extension.
Configuration & development
Setting up the modules and building extensions. We stay on standard functionality as long as it covers the process — it keeps future upgrades cheap.
Data migration
Balances, master data and open documents are moved with totals verified. Deep archives stay in the old system: storing them is cheaper than migrating them. Every load is reconciled against control totals before the system goes live.
Testing & UAT
We run the scenarios first, then your team runs them on real data. UAT is done when key users complete their daily operations without us — not when a form is signed.
Go-live
Moving to production on an agreed date, usually at a period boundary. The rollback plan and the list of operations handled manually during cutover are fixed in advance.
Support & evolution
After go-live the format is agreed separately: ad-hoc consulting, an hours package or ongoing support with an SLA. The first weeks are the densest — that is when scenarios missing from UAT surface.
Transparent pricing
What a project typically costs and how long it takes
Three configurations we see most often. The exact number comes from the calculator and a review of your case — but the order of magnitude is visible here.
Standard
3–4 months$35,000–70,000
Finance + warehouse + purchasing + integrations
Extended
4–6 months$70,000–150,000
Manufacturing + custom logic + 5+ integrations
1C / BAS migration+$5,000–15,000+2–4 weeks
Microsoft licences are paid separately: Essentials $80, Premium $110 per user per month.
Frequently asked questions about implementation
How long does a Business Central implementation take?
Depending on complexity — from 8 to 20 weeks. A standard mid-market implementation takes around 12 weeks.
Can you migrate data from our current system?
Yes, we perform full data migration with integrity checks and without stopping your business processes.
Do you support the system after go-live?
Yes. The support format is agreed separately: ad-hoc consultations, a block of hours, or ongoing support with a defined response time, fixed in the contract before go-live.
Can Business Central be customized for our industry?
Yes, through AL extensions we adapt the system to the specific processes of manufacturing, retail or distribution.
How much does implementation cost?
Cost depends on the scope of processes and the number of users. We provide an accurate estimate after a free audit.
Does BC integrate with Power BI and Microsoft 365?
Yes, integration is native — Power BI, Excel, Outlook and Teams connect with no extra connectors.
What drives the final cost?
The number of modules, users, customisations and integrations. Manufacturing and custom logic move the number the most. Typical configurations run from $15,000 for a quick-start to $70,000–150,000 for an extended project; Microsoft licences are paid separately.
What happens if the scope changes mid-project?
Scope is fixed at the solution design phase. Changes are raised separately with their impact on timeline and budget estimated before work starts — so the final invoice matches what was agreed.
What are the main implementation risks?
Three recur: the state of data in the old system, key users not having enough time for UAT, and trying to carry over processes that should be simplified instead. All three surface during analysis, and they are exactly what we discuss on the first call.
Can we start small and extend later?
Yes. A quick-start covers finance and basic sales in 6–10 weeks; warehouse, production and integrations are added in later phases on the same system.
