Business Central is the direct cloud successor to NAV, built on the same foundation. Core processes — general ledger, sales orders, purchase orders, inventory — work very similarly. The biggest differences are the technology stack (cloud-first, browser-based, no on-prem server), the development language (AL instead of C/AL), and the release cadence (two major updates per year, automatic).

NAV customisations written in C/AL code need to be assessed and rebuilt in AL (the modern Business Central development language). Our assessment identifies every customisation, rates the effort to rebuild it, and flags cases where standard BC functionality has since covered the original requirement — often reducing the custom code footprint significantly.

Project length depends on your NAV version, customisation volume, data complexity, and the number of integrations. A lightly customised NAV installation can be upgraded in 3–4 months. A heavily customised, multi-entity environment might take 6–9 months. Our assessment gives you a realistic estimate for your specific situation.

Yes. We run NAV and Business Central in parallel during the project. Your team continues working in NAV until the planned cutover date. Training on BC happens in a sandbox environment before go-live.

Business Central has strong standard functionality for distribution, manufacturing, retail, and professional services — the core industries served by NAV in Singapore. For vertical-specific needs, the AppSource marketplace has ISV add-ons for industries including food & beverage, construction, and property management.
