Get Ready to Extend Your Microsoft Business Central and NAV ERP Investment

Abstract startup Business extends transformation innovation to digital.

Does your business grow with your ERP, or does your ERP extend with your business? It’s very much a “chicken and egg” problem. In the final analysis, it probably doesn’t matter. Chickens and eggs exist simultaneously on the farm. And it’s most likely that business growth and the expansion of your ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system simply go hand in hand.

If you are planning to expand your business, it would be most prudent for you to make sure your current ERP system will be able to handle the increased load. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central ERP and Microsoft Dynamics NAV are highly flexible, elastic, and configurable. So, it always stands ready to expand. It is, for example, effortless to add new users to the system as needed.

Beyond that, there is a multitude of add-ons available for Business Central and NAV that have been purpose-built by ISVs (Independent Software Vendors) to integrate with your Dynamics 365 Business Central and Dynamics NAV ERP. As you plan ahead for growth, talk to the team at so that we can identify any new integrations that would support your company’s growth.

Let’s look at several examples.

Transportation Management

As you plan for growth, you may realize that the way it was handled until now will not be ideal for the expansion you’re predicting. You will need more transportation management automation. That’s why we partner with Dynamics TMS, a modern, advanced transportation management solution that can be fully integrated with Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Business Central.

Payables and Receivables

Even something as basic as AP (Accounts Payable) and AR (Accounts Receivable) can be streamlined to meet your growing needs better. That’s why we partner with Continia, an ISV that provides innovative solutions for AP and AR, including expense management, AP matching, approval workflows, and document management.

Business Process Solutions

Expansion often triggers the need for rethinking and streamlining your business processes. That’s why we’ve teamed up with Anveo. Anveo has created enhancements to Dynamics for mobile apps, web portals, Power Apps, and EDI. They are experts in business process solutions that integrate into NAV and Business Central.

There are more than a dozen ISVs that Liberty Grove works with on a regular basis. All of them have been vetted by Microsoft and by us. We have long and trusted relationships with these ISVs. We know the quality of their work.

For new Business Central implementations, we can recommend and implement the best ISV solutions to meet your requirements perfectly.  

For existing NAV customers who are currently using add-on solutions in their legacy version of Microsoft Dynamics and who want to upgrade to Business Central, we offer skilled resources with the know-how to bring these applications forward successfully.

For other VARS (Value Added Resellers) looking for extra resources to implement or support ISV solutions, Liberty Grove can provide the additional assistance needed.  

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Power Platform

In addition to ISV solutions that extend and enhance your Microsoft Dynamics ERP, there is another set of tools that can make a huge difference in your ability to grow your business. The Microsoft Dynamics 365 Power Platform is a toolset that enables non-technical business people to build stunning dashboards, create low code apps, set up relevant workflows, and allow chatbots to handle routine inquiries. The Power Platform includes:

  • Power BI for uncovering insights and spotting trends in time to react quickly
  • Power Apps for low code/no-code solutions that enable you to create apps that simplify the way you work
  • Power Automate is critical for your ultimatedigital transformation. Power Automate can add robotic processes to replace mundane, repetitive tasks. Just set it and forget it.
  • Power Virtual Agents allow you to build chatbots that are on the job 24/7. Chatbots will interface with your customers or your employees, answering repetitive questions and handing them off to human agents when appropriate.

Does it sound like science fiction? It is not. And the Liberty Grove team is available to support your Power Platform adventures as needed.

Liberty Grove Software grew out of its predecessor company, Studebaker Technology, which in 1996 became one of the first Navision developer/resellers in North America (Navision was the predecessor to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central/NAV). ​ As you can tell from our website, we focus exclusively on Business Central/NAV. Almost all our certifications, third-party add-ons, associates, services, and projects are Business Central/NAV-related. This is intentional because we want to offer only the highest caliber expertise to our clients, and we feel we can achieve this only if we devote ourselves to one ERP product.
