We have not committed ourselves to specific sectors. Nevertheless, we now have a number of consulting clients and know the challenges in the field inside out. No matter whether it’s management consulting, financial consulting, strategy consulting, IT consulting or HR consulting. We will tell you how we will also make you better with our standards-based approach.
ERP software for consulting companies:
Our recipe for success is close to the standard.
In a nutshell: We always use the standard ERP solution Dynamics 365 Business Central (formerly Dynamics NAV/Navision) as a basis and add other technologies such as Microsoft Office 365, the Microsoft Power Platform and industry-specific add-ons. If necessary, we also programme individual adaptations for you. This distinguishes us significantly from our competitors. Your system remains updateable and you remain independent of the partner company.
1 Standard ERP solution
“Surely our processes are far too individual for a standard solution?” Wrong! Experience shows that we can map around 90% of our projects in the standard Dynamics 365 Business Central.
The system standard includes all processes from the areas of finance, warehouse, supply chain, personnel, production & assembly, projects and service.
2Add-Ons and customisations
If the standard solution is not sufficient, we can easily solve some challenges with add-ons and products from Microsoft (e.g. Microsoft 365, Microsoft Power Platform).
If you need further special functionalities, we can solve your challenges with individual adaptations. Contact us and we will be happy to advise you on your request.
Our concept is close to the standard:
These are the functions for consulting/advisory firms.
Manage contacts
Manage projects
Manage jobs
Record times
Invoicing
Manage contacts
Dynamics 365 Business Central gives you a 360-degree view of your customers. Create contacts including all relevant information. This way you can easily archive contact data and interactions (customer conversations and correspondence) in a clear manner and easily track previous interactions.
In addition to contacts, you can also create segments (e.g. for a direct mailing). In addition, you can easily manage sales opportunities, recognise potential at an early stage and send out targeted campaigns to your contacts.
Manage projects
In Dynamics 365 Business Central, you can create your consultancy project, including description, debtor, project management, start and end dates, budget and costs, in just a few clicks. In this way, every project can be clearly planned, viewed and processed. You can easily create tasks and assign them to team members and resources. You can also carry out budgeting: Either simple or complex by covering a large number of items.
Project controlling is also easy thanks to real-time data and meaningful standard reports (e.g. budget consumption). You can view the progress of the project at any time.
The following customisations are also possible and popular:
-
Workload Report (customisation)
If required, we can provide you with an individual report on which team member has worked how much on which project.
-
Document Management (interface/add-On)
For professional document management, we offer you an interface to third-party software (e.g. D3 or the fully integrated solution Document Capture). Manage documents anytime, anywhere.
-
Mobile Service App (add-on)
With Anveo’s Mobile Service App, your consultants can easily access Dynamics 365 Business Central (formerly NAV/Navision). And this is independent of network coverage and even offline. The module is also ideal for field staff and service technicians.
-
Residual budgets report (customisation)
If required, we can create an individual report for you on which residual budgets are still available.
Manage jobs
Dynamics 365 Business Central supports you in the entire flow from customer enquiry to quotation creation and order confirmation to invoicing. You have an insight into the orders including status at any time and can view further information if required. Everything centrally in one place.
You can send documents to your customers directly from the system (Outlook link). You can also create sales orders manually or from a sales quotation.
Record times
In Dynamics 365 Business Central, your team members can track their times via the timesheet and thus record the duration of tasks in detail. This also makes additional work directly visible. Workflows are also possible: for example, checking by the person responsible for the project and approval.
This forms the basis for fair and transparent billing for your customers.
The following customisations are also possible and popular:
-
Production data and time recording (add-on)
With the Tempras TempVision add-on, you control time and shop floor data collection, resource planning and access control.
-
Travel expense recording (add-on)
Use the Continia Expense Management app to integrate simple and transparent expense reporting into your ERP solution. Let your team submit expenses via browser or mobile app and approve them centrally and conveniently.
Invoicing
In Dynamics 365 Business Central, you can create quotation and invoice templates in your corporate design, send them from the system and archive them. This allows you to invoice booked times, resource consumption and project-related purchases in a relaxed manner.
The following customisations are also possible and popular:
-
Accounting of recurring fees (customisation)
If required, we can programme a practical customisation for you, with the help of which the billing of recurring fees (e.g. licence and maintenance fees, support quotas) functions comfortably.
-
Collection (interface)
Companies often outsource the collection of payments. To do this, we simply implement an interface to a debt collection company.
-
Direct Bank Connection (add-on)
With windata’s confipay, you can transfer payment orders automatically and retrieve account transactions as well as PayPal transactions.
-
Electronic data interchange (add-on)
Anveo EDI makes it child’s play to exchange data
- with your customers (e.g. orders, invoices, credit notes, shipping notifications, article data, availabilities, prices),
- with partner companies (better business relations through automated processes),
- with suppliers (e.g. order processing, order confirmations, availabilities or delivery notes) or
- between locations/clients (e.g. financial data and item information).
-
Elster (interface)
We implement an interface for Elster exports for you.
-
Payment transactions (add-on)
With the OPplus 365 add-on from Continia you can optimise your payment transactions (import and export) with manufacturing companies, trading companies or end customers. Automate your processes (clearing, preliminary account assignment, etc.) and get more transparency about your payments.
-
Payroll (add-on)
With the add-on haveldata NAPA3, companies can map the entire payroll process in a structured and automated way.
-
XInvoice XML (add-on)
With the help of BELWARE XRECHNUNG you can easily send invoices as XInvoice XML.
These are your fantastic advantages.

Transparency

-
Forecasts & Automation
Benefit, for example, from intelligent predictions for reordering goods. You also receive recommendations for accounts payable, for example, to take advantage of discounts and avoid dunning charges.
