Most Dynamics GP migrations take 3 to 6 months. A single company using standard modules may move faster, while multiple entities, extensive customizations, and several integrations add time. Our Dynamics 365 Business Central consulting services include go-live planning around your financial period end to keep reporting consistent.

With GP support ending on December 31, 2029, starting early gives your team enough time to test the new system without rushing the transition. If some of your older systems need more extensive changes, our legacy ERP modernization specialists can help address those as part of the broader project.

Most NAV customizations can be carried over, but they need to be adapted to the new development model. NAV modifications were often made directly in the base code using C/AL, while Business Central uses AL extensions that work alongside the standard application.

The migration is also a good opportunity to review what you can remove. Business Central now includes many features that previously required custom NAV code. Replacing outdated modifications with standard functionality can reduce future development and maintenance costs and make upgrades easier.

Our Business Central migration services cover master data such as customers, vendors, items, and the chart of accounts, as well as open documents and balances. For GP, Microsoft’s migration tools can also transfer summarized historical data, which we review and adjust where necessary.

Migrating detailed transaction history is a separate decision. Some companies bring several years of transactions into Business Central, while others keep older records in a read-only archive or reporting database. We help you choose based on audit requirements, reporting needs, storage costs, and how often your team accesses older records.

Yes. Business Central has a native Shopify connector that supports products, inventory, orders, and customer data. We can configure it and extend its functionality where needed. For Magento, BigCommerce, and WooCommerce, we develop custom integrations using Business Central APIs and each platform’s APIs.

We also connect Business Central with CRM systems, giving sales teams access to orders, invoices, and credit limits without switching between tools. Our article on CRM and ERP integration explains how to decide which system should manage each type of record and why that matters.

Yes. Our Microsoft Dynamics NAV support covers bug fixes, minor changes, user questions, and year-end process support while we plan your migration. Keeping NAV stable until go-live helps your team focus on the transition without worrying about everyday system issues.

We also use this time to document how your company actually uses NAV: which reports are essential, which customizations support daily operations, and which integrations depend on the system. This information becomes the foundation for the Business Central project and reduces discovery work later.
