What go-live looks like: orders, inventory, and finance in one live rhythm — no manual re-entry.
The cost of disconnected systems compounds every quarter
- Orders entered in one platform are manually re-keyed into Business Central by an operations coordinator
- Inventory levels on your ecommerce site are updated twice daily from a spreadsheet export, causing regular oversells
- Finance cannot see order data in Business Central until someone manually posts it, creating an end-of-month scramble
- Each manual re-entry step adds error risk, and one wrong stock keeping unit generates a return, a credit, and a customer service call
- The team running these manual exports cannot take time off without operations breaking
- Orders from your ecommerce platform post directly into Business Central in near real time, without anyone touching them
- Inventory quantities sync bidirectionally, so your site always reflects what Business Central holds at the item level
- Finance sees posted transactions in Business Central the same day orders close, with no manual posting required
- Your operations team moves from data entry to exception handling, with an error queue they review in minutes each day
- The connector runs reliably whether or not any one person is in the office, and documented standard operating procedures let any team member handle issues
"We were spending 105 hours a month re-keying orders. Two coordinators, full time, just moving data between systems that should have talked to each other automatically."

Your team's time investment across a Fast Track is typically 3 to 4 hours per week, one sprint review, asynchronous feedback on deliverables, and a final readiness sign-off. We handle everything else.
From scope to production in four defined stages
Each stage has a sign-off gate. Nothing moves forward until the previous deliverable is accepted.
We map your systems, define every object in scope, and select the connector approach. Nothing is built until this is signed.

Every system that connects to Business Central
We have built connectors for every major platform that talks to Business Central. If your system is not listed, our scoping call confirms whether a native connector, a middleware platform, or a custom REST build is the right path.
What the package looks like for your business model
Same four stages. Different object sets, connector choices, and edge cases depending on how you sell and fulfill. Select the model that fits your operation.
Frequent campaign drops with surge order volume
Your biggest risk is an inventory oversell during a product drop or sale event. The Fast Track focuses on real time stock sync, order status callbacks, and a reliable error queue that your team can action within minutes rather than discovering issues at end of day.
Business to business with customer-specific pricing and approval flows
Your complexity is in the pricing rules and approval hierarchies that differ by account. The connector needs to honor contract pricing from Business Central when pushing catalog data out, and apply the correct customer code when importing orders.
Amazon, website, and wholesale all posting into one ledger
Your finance team needs every order from every channel to post into Business Central with the correct revenue account, location code, and dimension. The connector maps each channel to its Business Central source code and handles currency and tax differences at the object level.
Retailer electronic data interchange connections and third-party logistics fulfillment sync
Your integration involves electronic data interchange transaction sets from retailer trading partners, fulfillment acknowledgements from a third-party logistics warehouse, and advance ship notices that have to post back into Business Central automatically. This is a Scale tier engagement with an integration architect assigned full time.
How a mid-market distributor recovered 32 hours a week
A wholesale distributor with $42 million in annual revenue ran Business Central for enterprise resource planning and a separate ecommerce platform for their business to business catalog. Orders entered on the website were manually re-keyed into Business Central by an operations coordinator, averaging 4.5 minutes per order across 1,400 monthly orders. Inventory on the website was exported twice daily from a spreadsheet, causing regular oversells on fast-moving stock keeping units and approximately 85 returns or credit requests per month.
Growth tier Fast Track. Bidirectional connector between the ecommerce platform and Business Central covering order import, inventory sync, customer data, and fulfillment status callbacks.
Orders from the ecommerce platform post automatically into Business Central in near real time with no human intervention. Inventory syncs bidirectionally every 15 minutes, reflecting accurate stock levels on the website at all times. Fulfillment status callbacks update order records in the ecommerce platform as Business Central progresses the shipment, eliminating customer service calls about order status.
"Within six weeks of go-live our team was back on account management instead of order entry. The connector has not missed a beat in 14 months."
Sarah Patel, Operations Manager at the wholesale distributor case study clientThe 5 integration failures we prevent by design
Most integration projects do not fail because of technology. They fail because scope was not locked, edge cases were not tested, or cutover was not rehearsed. Our Fast Track structure eliminates each of these by building prevention into the delivery path.
Scope drift after build starts
New objects or edge cases surface during build that were not in the original specification, leading to cost overrun and timeline slippage.
Data quality failures at cutover
Dirty source data discovered on go-live day: duplicate customers, mismatched stock keeping units, missing location codes. Everything stops while someone cleans it manually.
No rollback plan when issues hit
An issue surfaces on go-live day and nobody knows whether to continue, pause, or revert. Orders pile up while the team decides what to do next.
Silent failures nobody catches
A record fails to sync and nobody is notified. The error sits in a queue for days or weeks. By the time it is discovered, the downstream impact on inventory or finance is significant.
Knowledge leaves with the consultant
The consultant who built the connector is gone. Six months later something breaks and nobody on your team understands how the integration works or how to fix it.
pays back more than one that goes live in 3 weeks and breaks in month 2.
Our structure prioritizes durability over speed. You get both, but durability comes first.
Who the Fast Track is built for, and who it is not
We turn away projects that do not match this structure. Self-selecting out now saves both sides time later.
- You already run Business Central or have a signed Business Central rollout starting in the next quarter
- You have one to two specific external systems that need to talk to Business Central, with named integration points
- A named project owner on your side who can sign off scope, attend the scoping call, and respond within 24 hours during build
- Order or transaction volume that justifies the engineering investment, typically 200 orders per month or more
- You can dedicate 3 to 4 hours per week of internal team time across the build window
- You have not selected your enterprise resource planning platform yet; we are not the right partner to compare Business Central versus competitors
- Pre-revenue or under 50 orders per month, where the engineering cost outweighs the time savings
- Looking for an out-of-the-box product to install yourself; the Fast Track is a consulting engagement, not a software license
- No named internal owner who can hold the scope, attend reviews, and sign deliverables; an integration without a project owner stalls
- Hard launch deadline under 2 weeks; we do not compress the dry run or sign-off gates, even under timeline pressure

Questions before you book scope
A Fast Track is a fixed-scope, fixed-price consulting engagement that connects Business Central to one or more external systems such as ecommerce, customer relationship management, warehouse management, payment gateways, or marketplaces in 3 to 6 weeks with a defined delivery path and a controlled go-live. Unlike open-ended time and materials projects, the scope is locked before work begins and you know the exact cost, timeline, and deliverables upfront.
Business Central integrates natively with Shopify and Microsoft 365. For other systems, we use platform connectors or custom REST API builds. Common integrations include WooCommerce, Salesforce, HubSpot, Celigo, Boomi, third-party logistics warehouse management systems, electronic data interchange platforms, and Amazon. If your system exposes an API, we can connect it. We confirm the approach on the scoping call.
The Fast Track package delivers in 3 to 6 weeks for a single primary channel. Multi-channel programs run 6 to 12 weeks. Timeline depends on object complexity, existing data quality, and sign-off speed rather than system difficulty. We confirm the realistic timeline on the scoping call, not after the contract is signed.
Every Fast Track includes scoping and object mapping, connector build and configuration, unit and end-to-end testing, a documented dry run, a controlled go-live, and a 14 day hypercare window. Standard operating procedures and error queue configuration are included in every tier. Third-party connector platform licensing such as Celigo or Boomi is separate and confirmed during scoping.
Not necessarily. We confirm compatibility during the scoping call. Most integrations work on current Business Central software as a service versions without any version change required. If your version has compatibility implications, we advise you before the engagement starts, not during build, so there are no surprises.
