About Dynamics 365 Business Central

The platform enables businesses to manage finances, projects, sales, customer relationships, manufacturing, supply chains, analytics, and more.

Financial management and accounting tools help users manage their cash, assets, and banking, while supply chain, manufacturing and operations tools enable users to track and manage their production, inventory, orders, and vendors. Sales and service functionality allows users to manage their contacts, sales opportunities, and service contracts.

With customer interaction tracking, leads can be captured, prioritized, and tracked to show full interaction history.

    The procurement process has been made easier.
    Our asset management is now on point.
    The human resource management especially the payroll management bit is awesome.

    Pros

    Dynamics 365 BC has a variety of tools including the procurement module, human resource module, and the finance module.
    It has a interface that is user friendly and easy to use.
    It's workflows are outstanding and carrying out an activity from one end to another is made easy. With the workflows, at least a track can be made on the movement of activities carried out in the system.
    The ability to generate reports is a plus which is also easy.
    Another good feature is that it can be customized to accommodate the user needs.
    It is also compatible with Microsoft Excel such that one can export and import data between the two.

    Cons

    At first, you will need some practice on how to manage it to avoid messing up with your crucial data.

    Another issue is that running many processes at once can slow it down and this will force you to wait longer.
