Up to now, it has been the case that work on the road is only possible to a limited extent or not at all due to poor network coverage. In addition, some ERP systems lack project management modules that can be used to manage customer projects so well. Are you annoyed? Understandable! But you don’t have to be.
Their challenges summarized:
- Offline capability of the ERP system
- flexible project management module
- intelligent order management

Our unbeatable solution.
Instead of developing industry solutions, we always orientate ourselves on the standard ERP solution Dynamics 365 Business Central (formerly Dynamics NAV/Navision) and use other technologies such as Microsoft Office 365, the Microsoft Power Platform and industry-specific add-ons. If processes cannot be mapped, our experienced developers will program individual adaptations for you. If processes cannot be mapped, our experienced developers will program individual adaptations for you. This distinguishes us significantly from our competitors.
The structure is modular. Your system remains updatable and flexible, so that you can map extensions quickly and easily. And you remain independent of the provider.

“Our processes are far too individual for a standard solution.” You thought wrong! Experience has shown that we can map about 90% of our projects in the standard.

The basis of our work is the industry-independent ERP solution Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (formerly Dynamics NAV/Navision).

If the standard solution is not sufficient, we can solve some challenges quite easily with our own add-ons or those of our partners. In addition, Microsoft products such as Microsoft Office 365 or the Microsoft Power Platform complete your business software so that you can work perfectly.
3Individual adaptions
If you require further special functionalities, we can also solve your challenges by individual adaptations. Take a look at the requirements we have already implemented in practice for our existing customers. Can you find yourself again? If not, please contact us and together we will find a solution for you.

TOO COMPLICATED?
Our technology interpreter Theo explains.
Think of it like a burger. You have a base that is the same for every customer. You can make small changes to this base (e. g. different dough shapes such as multi-grain or sourdough). In addition, each customer can put together the toppings as they wish. Depending on preference and need.
This is also the case with our solution. You receive the standard product Dynamics 365 Business Central. We realize many projects in the standard solution – but sometimes small changes are necessary. And in addition, our customers purchase apps from us or our partners.
