Why AI on top of Business Central?
Business Central is a powerful ERP for manufacturing, trade and services. But many companies use only a fraction of its potential, because the processes around BC — order entry, purchase processing, reporting — are still manual.
An AI layer fits seamlessly into the Microsoft ecosystem you already use. Orders from Outlook are processed automatically, production data flows to Power BI, and purchase invoices are posted without intervention. BC does not become more complex — it becomes smarter.
How does the connection work?
We connect via the standard Business Central API (OData and REST). This means the same secure connection Microsoft itself uses for Power Platform integrations. Where extra functionality is needed, we build lightweight AL extensions.
An example: your customer sends an order by email with a PDF attachment. AI reads the document, recognises items (even with different descriptions), checks prices and stock in BC, and automatically creates a sales order. On discrepancies your team receives a notification via Teams.
Which companies is this suitable for?
This approach is ideal for manufacturing companies, wholesalers and service organisations using Business Central that are running into the limits of manual processes. Typically you process 500+ orders per month or have a production schedule that is updated manually every week.
Due to the close integration with the Microsoft ecosystem the barrier is low: your team already works with Outlook, Teams and Power BI. The AI layer completes that ecosystem.
How we connect.
Business Central API
Direct connection via the standard Business Central OData/REST API. We read and write orders, invoices, items and production orders.
Power Platform integration
Seamless collaboration with Power Automate and Power BI. AI results flow into your existing Microsoft workflows and dashboards.
Custom AL extensions
Where needed we build lightweight AL extensions for Business Central that act as a bridge between the AI layer and specific BC functionality.
