Do you migrate data from our current system?

Yes. We migrate from NAV, Dynamics GP, QuickBooks, Sage, SAP B1, spreadsheets, and other legacy systems. Data migration is a core deliverable — we map, cleanse, validate, and import all historical data.

What is AL development and do we need it?

AL (Application Language) is the programming language for Business Central extensions. Most implementations require some AL development to handle business-specific logic, custom reports, or integrations that the standard BC product cannot deliver. Our AL developers are Microsoft technology specialists.

Can you integrate Business Central with our existing software?

Yes. We have integrated BC with Shopify, WooCommerce, Salesforce, HubSpot, Stripe, PayPal, UPS, FedEx, DHL, and dozens of other platforms. We use Payload APIs, custom AL code, and middleware like Azure Logic Apps to build robust integrations.

Is Business Central suitable for manufacturing companies?

Yes — BC has strong Manufacturing modules covering production orders, BOMs, capacity planning, routing, and shop floor control. We have delivered BC to 30+ manufacturing clients including discrete, process, and job-shop manufacturers.

Do you support Business Central after go-live?

Yes. We offer monthly retainer support plans covering helpdesk tickets, bug fixes, minor enhancements, user training, and system monitoring. We also offer annual upgrade management to keep your BC on the latest version.

What regions do you serve?

We serve clients globally — primary markets include USA, UK, Netherlands, Denmark, UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Australia. All our work is done remotely with structured communication and project management tools.

How do you price Business Central implementations?

We price per project based on scope — typically a fixed-price quote after the discovery session. We also offer time-and-materials for ongoing development. Contact us for a free scoping call and indicative estimate.

South Africa Market Context

South African businesses implementing Business Central face a reporting environment shaped by SARS eFiling, VAT at 15%, and a Companies Act regime that requires specific financial statement formats depending on a company's public interest score. For South African manufacturers and distributors, exchange control reporting on cross-border payments through an authorised dealer bank is an additional step that most international ERP defaults do not account for. B-BBEE reporting also pulls procurement and supplier data into scope, which is a reporting shape no off-the-shelf localisation covers. Our Udaipur team works 3.5 hours ahead of Johannesburg year-round, so overnight runs are validated before your finance team logs in. We configure South African Business Central around SARS submission, exchange control reporting and supplier data structured for B-BBEE verification.

Market Insight

South African companies must prepare financial statements to a standard determined by their public interest score under the Companies Act 2008, and B-BBEE verification requires supplier and procurement data at a level of detail that generic ERP supplier records rarely capture.

Compliance & Regulation

SARS eFiling and VAT at 15%, Companies Act 2008 financial reporting requirements determined by public interest score, SARB exchange control reporting for cross-border payments, B-BBEE supplier and procurement data for verification, and POPIA for employee and customer records held in the system.

The Right Business Central Experts Makes All the Difference

Microsoft Business Central is one of the world's leading ERP platforms — powerful, flexible, and cloud-first. But a Business Central implementation is only as good as the team behind it. A poor implementation can disrupt your business for months. A great one transforms how your company operates.

PapaSiddhi has a dedicated Business Central practice with expert BC developers who have implemented BC for businesses in manufacturing, retail, distribution, professional services, and non-profit sectors across the USA, UK, Netherlands, and Australia.

We don't just install BC — we configure it around your exact business processes, build custom AL extensions to fill the gaps, integrate it with your existing systems, migrate your data cleanly, and train your team to get maximum value from day one.

★★★★★Featured Review

“We evaluated five vendors before choosing PapaSiddhi. Their Business Central expertise was unmatched — went live across three countries simultaneously with zero downtime.”

Thomas Andersen

IT Director

Zo**** Manufacturing · Denmark

★★★★★Featured Review

“PapaSiddhi felt less like an agency and more like a senior team that happened to sit eight time-zones away. Business Central live in three months, and our finance team actually likes using it.”

Elise van der Berg

COO

No******* Logistics · Netherlands

★★★★★

“Our store-level reporting was always a week behind and never quite trusted. Their Power BI work gave us daily numbers the whole exec team now relies on, and the dedicated analyst took the time to learn our business instead of just building charts.”
