From Invoices to Payments: Sarakadiya and Continia Bring Finance Automation to Business Central 

Sarakadiya Inc. has partnered with Continia, a provider of finance automation solutions for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, to help businesses streamline financial operations through solutions for document processing, expense management, payments, banking, and other finance workflows. 

As a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central expert, Sarakadiya helps organizations implement, optimize, upgrade, and extend their ERP environments. Through this partnership, Sarakadiya combines its Business Central expertise with Continia’s finance automation solutions to help businesses reduce manual work, improve process visibility, and manage everyday financial operations more efficiently. 

For finance teams, managing operations involves more than recording transactions. Purchase invoices need to be processed and approved, employee expenses need to be tracked, customer documents need to be distributed, and payments and bank transactions need to be reconciled. Manual processes can create delays, increase the risk of errors, and make it harder to maintain consistent financial records. 

Making Business Central Finance Processes Easier to Manage

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central provides an integrated platform for managing finance and business operations. Continia extends its capabilities with solutions designed to automate and simplify specific financial workflows within the Business Central environment. Continia’s portfolio includes solutions such as: 

• Continia Document Capture: Helps automate the processing of purchase invoices and other business documents, including document capture, data extraction, registration, approvals, and archiving.
• Continia Document Output: Helps automate the distribution of invoices and other business documents to customers and business partners. 
• Continia Expense Management: Simplifies employee expense reporting, receipt handling, approvals, and expense processing. 
• Continia Banking: Supports bank connectivity, payment processing, bank statement imports, and reconciliation within Business Central. 
• Continia Finance and other finance solutions: Provide additional capabilities to support core accounting and financial workflows, depending on business requirements and the selected solution. 

By bringing these capabilities into the Business Central environment, organizations can reduce repetitive data entry, establish more consistent workflows, and improve the visibility of financial transactions. The specific benefits depend on the solutions implemented, their configuration, and the organization’s existing processes. 

Bringing Business Central and Continia Together

Through this partnership, Sarakadiya combines its expertise in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central with Continia’s specialized finance automation solutions to help businesses build more connected and efficient financial operations. 

Sarakadiya supports organizations with Business Central implementation, upgrades, migrations, customization, integrations, and ongoing optimization. Its Continia-related services help businesses assess their financial workflows, identify suitable automation opportunities, and plan the implementation or transition of relevant Continia solutions. 

This combined expertise helps organizations evaluate both their core ERP requirements and the finance processes surrounding them. From invoice processing and employee expenses to banking workflows and payment operations, Sarakadiya can help businesses identify the right approach based on their existing Business Central environment and operational needs. 

The partnership also supports Microsoft partners seeking specialist assistance with Business Central and Continia projects, including solution implementation, technical support, and migration planning.

Planning the Transition from Continia OPplus 

For organizations currently using Continia OPplus, the partnership is also relevant as they plan their next steps. 

Continia has announced that new sales of OPplus will end on October 1, 2026, with limited support continuing until October 1, 2027. No further development is planned. Organizations using OPplus should assess their existing setup, identify their functional and technical requirements, and plan an appropriate transition strategy. 

Sarakadiya can help businesses evaluate their current OPplus environment, review relevant processes, assess supported migration options, and plan data mapping, testing, and validation when transitioning to Continia Banking or other suitable solutions.
