As a wholesale distribution owner, you need efficient ways to manage inventory, track orders, and handle finances—all while scaling smoothly as your business grows. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (BC) can centralize these operations. Although Microsoft’s pricing for Business Central is readily available, understanding the cost of a tailored implementation can be challenging. Implementation costs vary widely based on your business needs, the modules you require, and the level of customization needed.

Let’s explore the factors affecting Business Central implementation pricing and break down our packages to help you make an informed decision.

Why Implementation Costs Vary

One of the first questions we get is, “How much will this implementation cost?” To answer, it’s essential to note that each company’s needs are unique. Complexity, required features, and customization levels all impact the final price.

For instance, a small company wanting only the accounting module can typically complete implementation within three days. However, a small to medium-sized business might need a more extensive setup, including supply chain management, accounting, warehouse management (WMS), advanced reporting, and more. Such setups require more time, adding complexity and cost.

Business Central License pricing

To simplify your decision, we offer three implementation packages tailored for wholesale distribution. Each package aligns with different stages of business growth and needs. Here’s a quick overview:

1. Core Package: Quick Start Accounting Setup This package suits smaller businesses that want to start with core financials, like accounts payable, receivable, and general ledger management. With this setup, you’ll have a fully functional accounting module in Business Central within a few days. It’s a fast, budget-friendly foundation for future growth.

2. Essential Package: Core Wholesale Operations The Standard Package is ideal for businesses needing more than basic accounting. It includes core accounting and essential inventory management, allowing you to handle stock levels, vendors, and orders. This implementation typically takes a few weeks, providing a robust framework for your business’s key areas.

3. Advanced Package: Full Supply Chain & Reporting If your business needs a complete supply chain solution, this package provides end-to-end functionality. It includes WMS, inventory management, advanced financials, and real-time reporting. However, it’s important to note that this package takes a bit longer to implement—typically several months. But, once in place, it integrates all parts of your operations, helping you achieve efficient distribution and gain valuable insights.

Choosing the Right Package

Selecting the right package depends on your business’s size, immediate needs, and growth strategy. Think of implementation as an investment. While you might start with the Basic Package, rapid business growth could mean you’ll soon need more features. Alternatively, businesses ready for a full ERP solution might find the Advanced Package aligns with all areas of their operations.
