Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central & Dynamics 365 Field Service integration
Unite field service and financial operations to drive efficiency, reduce errors, and accelerate cash flow. By integrating Dynamics 365 Business Central and Dynamics 365 Field Service, you eliminate silos, automate workflows, and get real-time visibility across both front-line and back-office functions. By bridging the gap between financials and field operations, information flows smoothly from the front line to the back office. The result is faster billing, less manual work, and happier customers as service and accounting are in sync.
Why integrate Business Central & Dynamics 365 Field Service?
Service companies often have siloed systems with field technicians working in one app while accounting and inventory operate in another. This can cause data inconsistencies, delayed billing, and limit visibility into job costs. Businesses can address this challenge by integrating Business Central and Dynamics 365 Field Service and aligning service delivery with financials, resources, and inventory management. When a field technician completes a job, all the details (time, parts used, expenses, etc.) flow into Business Central for immediate billing and inventory updates. No more duplicate data entry and delays as billing happens faster and more accurately, improving cash flow and customer satisfaction. Unifying these platforms gives your team complete visibility into field service activities and finances, so you can make data-driven decisions and increase operations efficiency.

However, Rand Groupโs integration services build on the standard offering to ensure the solution is expertly implemented and tailored to your business.
