What Our Clients Say about Dynamics 365 Business Central

Nate Heintselman

“When we first evaluated around 10 systems and selected the manufacturing-based ERP, BC was neck-and-neck with the other solution the whole time. After we outgrew the capabilities of the manufacturing solution, we decided to take another look at BC – we never considered another partner besides Velosio because of a longstanding relationship with them. Velosio was an easy choice for us,”

Nate Heintzelman, Director of Operations – Werk Brau

David Kafowski

“Business Central has been a great success here. Now that we have all our inventory in Business Central, we can create production orders and then from there create purchase orders. But one of the biggest benefits of it is we can put in building material and routers. And when you create production orders and close them out, that automatically consumes the material.”

David Kafowski, Supply Chain Manager – Irrimax

Andy Ho

“Our choices were small mom-and-pop systems like Sage 50, or taking a huge leap to Oracle, built for massive manufacturing firms. Everything in between felt like a dead zone. We looked at Sage Intacct, Acumatica, NetSuite, and Dynamics 365 Business Central. Acumatica fell off the list because it wasn’t exactly what we were looking for. We felt as if BC was perfectly geared for our industry, size, and marketplace, and it was a good price.”

Andy Ho, Senior Vice President – Global Strategy Group
