Modernizing Manufacturing with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Manufacturing ERP Modernization, Built Around Your Business

Your manufacturing ERP has accumulated years of data, processes, customizations and integrations. Modernization doesn’t necessarily mean starting again. It means understanding your current environment, identifying what creates business value and defining the right path toward a modern Business Central environment.

Our Manufacturing-Focused Business Central Services

Solve the Challenges Behind Manufacturing Growth

Legacy ERP

Older NAV versions and legacy Microsoft ERP environments can make upgrades, integrations and modernization increasingly complex. Sarakadiya helps assess your current environment and define a practical path toward Business Central modernization.

Complex Customizations

Years of custom development can create technical debt and make future upgrades more complicated. We help identify what should be retained, modernized, replaced or retired as part of your modernization strategy.

Disconnected Operations

Finance, production, inventory, purchasing and sales may rely on different systems or disconnected processes. We help connect Business Central with your wider business application landscape.

Limited Business Visibility

Manufacturing leaders need timely insight into production, inventory, capacity, costs and operational performance. We help connect Business Central data with reporting and analytics capabilities to support better business visibility.

Manual Processes

Repetitive data entry, approvals, reconciliations and operational handoffs can consume valuable time. We identify opportunities for workflow automation, integrations and other process improvements.

Growing Complexity

New products, locations, entities and markets can place increasing demands on your ERP environment. We help evolve your Business Central environment to support changing business and operational requirements.

Discrete Manufacturing

Support manufacturing processes where products are produced from defined components through production BOMs, routings and production operations.

Process-Oriented Manufacturing

Address complex materials, production processes and operational requirements through Business Central’s applicable manufacturing capabilities and, where needed, complementary industry solutions or extensions.

Make-to-Order Manufacturing

Connect customer demand with production planning, component requirements, inventory and fulfillment processes.

Make-to-Stock Manufacturing

Multi-Location Manufacturing

Support operations across locations, warehouses and business units with connected Business Central processes and appropriate configuration.
