Operations live in spreadsheets
Job orders, equipment, contracts and hours end up in Excel and side systems. Finance sees the result weeks later, after someone has typed it in again.
Why Business Central
You have outgrown your accounting system. That is a good problem.
The systems most of our prospects run today are excellent at accounting. The limit shows on the day you need dispatch, equipment, contracts, several companies or project margins in the same place as the ledger. That is what Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is for, and it is where every Xago app is built.
Where it stops
Good accounting systems. Built for accounting.
None of this is a flaw in the system you run. It is what happens when a company grows past what an accounting system was designed to hold.
Integrations that break
Every side system needs a connector to the ledger. Each one is a point of failure, and each update to either end can take it down.
One company per licence
Group structures mean separate logins, separate charts of accounts and consolidation by hand at month end.
Shallow project accounting
A department field and a project field are not the same as dimensions across every posting. Margin per job, per machine or per contract stays a guess.
The vendor decides the roadmap
What you cannot configure, you cannot have. There is no way to extend the system with the processes that make your company different.
Why Business Central
One system for finance and operations
-
Finance and operations in one ledger
Sales, purchasing, inventory, projects, fixed assets and the general ledger are one product. Operations post straight into finance, no re-keying.
-
Part of Microsoft 365
The same login as Outlook and Teams. Edit in Excel, report in Power BI, and Copilot works with your data because it is already in Microsoft's cloud.
-
Extensible by design
Thousands of apps on AppSource, and a real development language for what is specific to you. Every Xago app is a Business Central extension, upgraded with the platform.
-
Built for structure
Dimensions on every posting, multiple companies in one tenant, intercompany transactions, multi-currency and consolidation as standard.
-
Nordic compliance included
Local VAT, SAF-T and bank formats are part of the localisation. Electronic invoicing over PEPPOL and EHF comes with Xago Invoice.
-
A market of partners
Business Central is delivered by thousands of partners. If you and yours ever disagree, you change partner, not system.
Challenge and opportunity
It is a bigger step. That is the point.
What it asks of you
- A partner and an implementation project, not a sign-up form.
- Weeks of your own people's time to decide how things should work.
- A higher licence per user than an entry-level accounting system.
What you get
- One ledger where operations and finance agree, every day, not at month end.
- Dispatch, equipment, invoicing, analytics and contracts as apps built for your industry.
- A platform that grows with the company instead of being replaced again in five years.
How a move runs
From your current system to Business Central
A typical move for a company of 10 to 100 users takes a few months. Most of that time is decisions, not technology.
-
Scoping
Which processes move, which companies, what stays where it is. We map your current system and agree what day one looks like.
-
Data migration
Chart of accounts, customers, vendors, items, open items and opening balances move across. History is summarised, and Xago BI can keep reporting on the old system if you need the detail.
-
Go-live
Training on your own data, a short parallel period, and cut-over on a month end so the first closing in Business Central is clean.
-
Your apps come along
Dispatcher, BI, Invoice and Contract Parking are configured as part of the same project, so operations go live with finance, not after it.
Built on Business Central
The apps that make it yours
Everything Xago builds runs inside Business Central. Move the ledger and the industry apps are already there.
