Bramvia — Business Central Experts
Pest control, recycling, food processing, butchery, discrete manufacturing. Each has processes no standard ERP covers. Here's how we handle industry specifics in Business Central without wrecking your upgrade path.
Standard ERP covers about 80% of what most companies do. The remaining 20% is what actually makes your business yours — and it's where implementations succeed or fail.
Some examples of what "the last 20%" looks like in practice.
Pest control and field service
Scheduled recurring visits, technician routing, treatment records tied to a site rather than a customer, regulated chemical usage logs, and certificates issued after each service. Standard sales and inventory modules don't model any of this well. What's needed is service contract management extended with site-level history and compliance documentation.
Recycling and waste management
Weighbridge integration, material grading on intake, variable pricing based on quality and market rates, and traceability obligations from collection to processing. The inbound side barely resembles standard purchasing — you're buying material of uncertain quality at a price determined after weighing and inspection.
Food processing and butchery
Batch and lot traceability, catch weight (where the unit sold and the unit priced differ), yield tracking through cutting and processing, use-by date management, and full recall capability. Catch weight alone breaks the assumptions of most standard inventory systems, which expect a single unit of measure.
Discrete and process manufacturing
Multi-level BOMs, subcontracting operations, machine capacity, quality inspection at defined points, and scrap and rework handling. Business Central Premium covers a good deal of this natively; the specialisation is in how it's configured for how you actually produce.
How we approach it — and why the method matters
The wrong way is modifying the base application. It works on day one and becomes a liability at every update.
We build industry specifics as AL extensions: separate code that hooks into standard functionality through events, without altering the core. Updates arrive; the extension keeps working. That's the difference between a system that ages well and one that traps you on an old version.
The order we work in:
- Use standard functionality wherever it fits. Every custom object is something to maintain forever. The most valuable thing a consultant does is talk you out of unnecessary customization.
- Check whether an ISV solution already exists. For several industries, someone has built and maintains a solution. Buying it usually beats building it.
- Build only what's genuinely specific to you. As clean extensions, documented, with an upgrade path.
An honest caveat
We don't claim deep pre-built solutions for every industry named above. What we bring is the AL development capability and the migration methodology to implement them properly, plus the judgement to tell you when an existing ISV solution is the better buy.
If your industry has processes no standard ERP handles, tell us what they are and we'll be straight about whether we're the right people to build them.
FAQ
Does Business Central have industry modules? Not out of the box. It has strong foundations (lots, manufacturing, projects, warehouse) plus AppSource apps and clean extensions for what your sector genuinely requires.
Should I buy a vertical app or build an extension? Standard first, AppSource app second, custom extension only for what neither covers. In that order, always.
