Business Central for your industry, configured to fit.
Business Central for your industry means the standard product set up around how your sector already works, whether you run a factory, a media business, a distribution warehouse or a services firm. We map your processes first, so time and budget go into the parts that set your business apart. Microsoft describes the standard features in its manufacturing and general documentation.
🏭 Manufacturing
Plan production and see the true cost of every job.
Replace spreadsheets and disconnected shop-floor tools with one system for BOMs, MRP, costing and quality.
🎬 Media & Entertainment
Every production budget and entity in one ledger.
Project accounting for productions, budgets vs actuals and multi-entity consolidation; royalty calculation needs an add-on or extension.
🚚 Wholesale & Distribution
The right stock in the right warehouse, so orders can ship on time.
Inventory across warehouses, EDI with your retail partners and landed cost that reflects what you actually paid.
💼 Professional Services
Bill faster and see margin on every project.
Jobs, time and expense, resource planning and WIP billing, connected to your general ledger.
By sector
What changes from one industry to the next
Business Central for your industry starts from the same ledger, but the setup work lands in different places. For makers of assembled products, such as discrete manufacturers, job shops, metal fabricators and electronics makers, most of the effort goes into bills of materials, routings, machine capacity and the gap between standard and actual cost.
Producers that work in batches, from food and beverage and chemical plants to breweries and pharmaceutical firms, need recipes, lot numbers, expiry dates and recall tracing set up with care.
Firms that sell time rather than stock, such as law firms, architects, engineering firms and marketing agencies, run each client job as a project with time sheets, budgets, work in progress and billing.
Wholesale, distribution and import and export businesses lean on warehouses, price lists, landed cost and EDI with trading partners. Where the standard product stops short, as with rental contracts for equipment rental firms or trust accounting for law practices, each industry page names the gap and the kind of add-on that usually fills it.
