Microsoft 365 integration

An ERP only pays off when people actually use it — and the fastest way to lose them is to make them leave the tools they already live in. Salespeople work in Outlook, finance works in Excel, decisions happen in Teams; every trip out to a separate system is friction that quietly erodes adoption. Business Central was built to work inside Microsoft 365 rather than beside it, so quotes, approvals, data and documents flow through the apps your team already knows. We wire those connections together, which is often what turns an ERP from installed into genuinely used.

Microsoft Outlook

Work with your ERP without leaving your inbox.

The Business Central add-in brings customer and vendor context directly into Outlook. Open an email and see the sender's account, outstanding balance, recent orders and open quotes alongside it; create a quote, look up an item or post a sales order without switching applications; and send the document straight from the conversation that prompted it.

  • Account context in the inbox
  • Create quotes inline
  • Send documents from email

Microsoft Excel

Keep the tool your finance team trusts, connected to the ledger.

Excel is where a great deal of analysis naturally happens, and Business Central is built to work with it rather than around it. Any list can be opened in Excel, edited and published back with validation applied; budgets, journals and master data can be prepared offline and imported cleanly; and refreshable connections mean a workbook reflects current figures rather than a snapshot from last week.

  • Edit in Excel, publish back
  • Bulk import with validation
  • Refreshable live data

Microsoft Teams

Bring business records into the conversations about them.

The Business Central app for Teams lets anyone pull a live customer, vendor or item card into a chat or channel, so discussions happen with the actual record in view. Approvals can be actioned in Teams, and a meeting about an account opens with the account already on screen.

It is also an effective way to give occasional users access to ERP information without a full licence or a training programme.

  • Live records in chat
  • Approvals in channel
  • Access for occasional users

Microsoft SharePoint

Every document filed against the transaction it belongs to.

SharePoint gives your business a governed document library that Business Central can write to and read from: supplier contracts, signed delivery notes, quality certificates and customer correspondence attached to the order, item or account they relate to. Version history, retention policies and permissions are managed centrally, which makes audits and certification renewals considerably less eventful.

  • Documents linked to records
  • Version history and retention
  • Audit-ready

Microsoft OneDrive

Files available securely, wherever your team is working.

OneDrive holds the working files individuals produce (exports, analyses, drafts and presentations) with automatic sync, version history and controlled sharing that doesn't depend on email attachments. Files stay reachable if a laptop fails, and remain under company control when someone changes role.

  • Automatic sync and backup
  • Controlled external sharing
  • Version recovery
