One team for every side of Business Central.
We're a senior consultancy pairing functional consultants with AL developers — so implementations, upgrades, integrations, AI and performance work all land under one roof, production-ready.
A Business Central practice
built by the people who ship it.
Business Central Developer is a senior team of Dynamics 365 Business Central specialists — functional consultants and AL developers who've spent years inside NAV and BC.
We started the way good tooling usually starts: doing migrations and implementations by hand, hitting the same repetitive problems, and deciding to build our own tools to solve them once. That's where our reconciliation engine, our C/AL-to-AL converters and our integration module came from — real project pain, turned into reusable software.
Today we work two ways. Clients engage us directly to deliver a project end to end, or partners use us as white-label overflow when they need extra senior capacity under their own brand. Either way, you get people who write production code and understand the business behind it.
We're remote-first and work across time zones, we're comfortable on-premises or in the cloud, and we're happy to work under NDA inside your process and your repositories.

Upgrade-safe by default
We build extensibility-first, so the next BC release never breaks your customisations.
Self-contained tooling
Our tools run locally where they can, keeping your customer code on-premises unless you choose otherwise.
Handed over, not hoarded
Every engagement ends with tested code and documentation, so your team owns what we built.
Everything Business Central,
from strategy to production.
Ten disciplines under one accountable team — whether you're going live, modernising, or scaling.
Module development
Custom AL modules and extensions built extensibility-first, so upgrades never break your work.
Implementation
End-to-end roll-outs — process design, configuration, data migration and user enablement.
Upgrade & migration
NAV-to-BC and version upgrades on a staged, low-risk path, with clean C/AL to AL conversion.
AI & Copilot
Copilot features and in-app AI that fit BC's data model and permissions — practical and governed.
Performance optimization
SQL, query objects and set-based patterns for high-volume ledgers — profiled, not guessed.
Support & managed service
Retainer support, monitoring and a senior second pair of hands when your team is stretched.
SSRS & reports
RDLC, Word and SSRS layouts and document reports — accurate and easy to maintain.
Integration
API pages, OAuth flows and connections to webshops, payments, Power Platform and external ERPs.
Fabric & Lakehouse
Business Central data into Microsoft Fabric and Lakehouse — governed pipelines for analytics.
Agent building
Copilot and autonomous agents that act inside BC — scoped, permissioned and supervised.
Products we built to make
Business Central work faster.
Years of migrations and implementations, turned into software we bring to your project on day one.
Reconciliation Tool
Auto-matches vendor and customer statement lines against posted entries in seconds. Surfaces matched, partial and unmatched lines with the statement-versus-applied difference — and can be triggered by name straight from Copilot.
- Auto-match & unapply
- Match statistics
- API + Copilot
CAL → AL Report Converter
Turns legacy NAV C/AL reports into Business Central AL, extracting the RDL/RDLC layout and rebuilding the dataset and columns. Handles both classic and modern report formats, with a review pass before you download.
- RDL/RDLC extraction
- Old + new format
- Review & download
Dataport → XMLport Converter
Rebuilds C/AL Dataport objects — which don't exist in BC — as AL XMLports, generating the full schema, tableelement and fieldelement structure automatically. Upload a text export and it splits, filters and converts every dataport.
- Auto object split
- Schema generation
- Batch ZIP export
CAL → AL Code Converter
Our flagship engine converts C/AL objects to AL and classifies every change — routing base modifications to event subscribers or an IsHandled refactor, and keeping India GST/TDS/TCS localisation out of the base app.
- BASE-INSERT / REPLACE
- India-aware routing
- Zipped solution
Universal Integration Module
A configurable integration layer that connects Business Central to anything — REST, OData, webhooks, files or third-party ERPs — with field mapping, scheduling and error handling built in. One framework instead of a bespoke integration each time.
- Inbound & outbound
- Field mapping
- Scheduling & retries
SQL → Business Central Bridge
Run real SQL against Business Central — multi-table joins, full WHERE logic with LIKE/IN/BETWEEN/NULL checks, resolved live against your actual table and field names. Connects to Cloud (SaaS) or on-premises, pick your company from a live dropdown, and export any result straight to CSV.
- Real joins & WHERE
- Cloud & on-prem
- Live schema, no mapping
- CSV export
Watch our migration engine
convert C/AL to AL.
Pick a sample object and run it through the pipeline. Scripted for demonstration — the engine itself runs on your codebase.
Press Run migration to generate AL
A staged path, live at every step.
Whether it's a new implementation or a legacy upgrade, we move in a real sequence — no big-bang gambles.
Discover
Fit-gap, effort estimate and a scope you sign off before we build.
Design
Solution architecture, data model and extension boundaries, defined up front.
Build
AL development, configuration and integration in reviewed, tested increments.
Go live
Migration, cutover and hypercare on the latest supported release.
Support
Managed service, monitoring and enhancements once you're running.
Bring our people onto
your project.
Engage our technical and functional consultants as dedicated resources — by the tier you need, remote, billed by day or sprint.
Technical consultants
AL developers who plug into your team to build extensions, integrations and fixes.
Functional consultants
Consultants who join your project to map process to BC and drive delivery.
A few problems worth remembering.
Anonymised, but the numbers are real. Happy to walk through any of these on a call.
Automated C/AL → AL converter
A pipeline that parses legacy C/AL, classifies each change and routes it to the right AL pattern — collapsing weeks of manual conversion into days.
High-volume G/L aggregation API
A query-object API aggregating millions of G/L entries by global dimension. SQL tuning turned a timeout into a sub-second response.
Requirement-to-solution agent
An agent that reads inbound requests, generates production-ready AL and returns a packaged solution for human review — over a secured mailbox.
