Folio3 builds Business Central around your BOMs, routings, and work centers, develops the integrations a standard rollout skips, and stays engaged after go-live.
Most Dynamics partners configure finance and inventory competently. Multi-level BOMs, routing, and lot tracking are a different problem. The system technically works and still doesn't match how your floor runs.
Out-of-the-box Business Central won't cover your warehouse scanner integration, EDI connection, or compliance workflow. Generic partners hit that wall and subcontract it out or call it out of scope.
Microsoft ships release waves twice a year, and your process keeps evolving. A partner who hands you off to a ticket queue isn't there for either, and your system slowly drifts from what you need.
We build BOM structures, routings, work center scheduling, and costing around how your floor runs, for discrete, process, and mixed-mode manufacturers.
When configuration isn't enough, our own engineering team builds the integration or extension. No subcontractor in the middle.
Clients move into an ongoing managed services arrangement, so release waves don't break what we built for you.
Our team has implemented Microsoft Dynamics solutions across the platform's full evolution, from Dynamics NAV and AX through Business Central.
Folio3's implementation capability has been validated by Microsoft directly, giving us early access to release wave guidance and product changes.
Real business outcomes from Business Central, delivered by Folio3 across discrete and process manufacturing, packaging, and multi-entity operations.
A packaging manufacturer absorbing a new acquisition automated order entry that previously took 20 to 30 minutes of manual work per order, doubling throughput on the same team.
The same manufacturer cut inventory visibility from next-day reporting to near real-time after integrating Business Central with its storefront and warehouse systems.
A multi-entity operation went from a support queue running two critical tickets a day to identifying transaction errors in under five minutes after consolidating onto Business Central.
An operations team reclaimed 40 to 50 days of skilled labor a year on settlement reconciliation, with data accuracy moving to 100 percent after automation.
Most manufacturers only use a fraction of what Business Central can do. We help you unlock the rest, from production planning to real-time inventory tracking, so your Microsoft investment actually matches how you operate.
Every integration point inventoried before configuration starts
Custom API work and connections built in-house, not subcontracted
Custom AL development for what configuration can't solve
Changes after go-live get the same engineering team, not a ticket queue

Gold Microsoft Solutions Partner with manufacturing customers across discrete, process, food, and agricultural sectors.
Generalist partners can configure Business Central's finance and inventory modules competently. What they don't typically have is manufacturing-specific depth: multi-level BOM structures, routing and work center scheduling, lot and quality tracking, and in-house development for the integrations and extensions a standard rollout doesn't cover. Folio3's leadership has worked Dynamics implementations across two decades, specifically for discrete and process manufacturers, and our own engineering team builds what configuration can't.
It means Folio3's technical capability and customer success delivery have been validated by Microsoft directly, not self-reported. For your project, that means earlier access to release wave guidance and product changes, and a level of platform expertise Microsoft itself has confirmed.
It depends on the complexity of your production model and how many systems need to be integrated. A straightforward single-entity implementation can move faster than a multi-entity rollout with legacy data migration and custom extension work. We'll give you a real timeline after understanding your specific operation, not a generic range pulled from a brochure.
Yes. Migration from Dynamics GP, Dynamics NAV, Dynamics AX, QuickBooks, or another legacy ERP is one of the most common starting points we see from manufacturers. We manage data mapping, cleansing, and cutover planning to minimize disruption to your production schedule during the transition.
We also take on rescue and recovery engagements for stalled or underperforming Business Central implementations. We run a diagnostic assessment to identify the root cause, then build a remediation plan, rather than starting over from scratch unless that's genuinely the faster path.
No. Business Central itself is built for small to mid-sized manufacturers, and that's where most of our manufacturing client base sits. We scope the engagement to your size and complexity rather than applying an enterprise-scale process to a company that doesn't need one.
