SMEs need software and business solutions that adapt to the way they operate. Generic tools are no longer enough to boost efficiency; you need applications designed to meet concrete, on-the-ground needs.
This is where business applications come in. When connected to an ERP like Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, they transform your processes and enable smooth, automated, and centralized management of your operations.
What Is a Business Application?
A business application is software designed to address a specific need within a particular industry, such as transportation management, logistics, project tracking, or waste management, among others. It takes into account the unique aspects of your business and teams, going beyond a standard ERP by adapting to your specific processes.
At Almakom, we develop business applications compatible with Dynamics 365 that integrate seamlessly with your ERP to create a coherent, powerful, and truly tailored solution for your company.
Our change management–focused approach allows us to understand and analyze your processes in order to build custom applications. Listening to users helps us anticipate pain points, making solution adoption easier.

5 Good Reasons to Connect Your Business Applications to Your ERP
1. All Your Data in One Place
By linking your business applications to your ERP, you centralize your data. This gives you real-time visibility into your operations, eliminates duplicate entries, and ensures reliable information across your entire value chain.
2. Smooth Process Automation
Information from your business applications (deliveries, interventions, inventory, projects, etc.) is automatically integrated into the ERP without re-entry. This saves you time, reduces the risk of errors, and improves your teams’ responsiveness.
3. A Solution Truly Tailored to Your Business
Every company is different. Our business applications take into account your operational workflows, industry constraints, and internal rules. This way, you get a solution that adapts to you—not the other way around.
4. Local and Industry Compliance
Thanks to smart integration with Business Central, your business applications comply with tax regulations (Swiss VAT, French accounting…), data protection standards (GDPR, LPD), and industry requirements (traceability, audits…).
5. Easy Adoption by Your Teams
Our applications are designed to be intuitive, mobile, and easy to use. As a result, your employees adopt them quickly, use them daily, and fully benefit from the solution. We support this adoption with tailored training programs.
