Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
About
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is Microsoft's cloud ERP for small and mid-sized businesses, covering finance, supply chain, project management and sales in one platform. Smaller AE firms, specialty subcontractors and building-product manufacturers run it as their accounting and project ledger, often with partner-built construction extensions, and its native links to Outlook, Excel, Teams and Power BI suit Microsoft-centric offices.
