Every year, Microsoft enhances Dynamics 365 Business Central, its ERP system, with new features. Wave 2 2025 places particular emphasis on AI Copilot, document management, supply chain, sustainability, and much more.
Whether you are an SME in distribution, transportation, manufacturing, or services, these new features can transform your daily life.

Automatic generation of invoice and purchase order proposals.
Creation of financial or commercial summaries based on your data.
Assistance with information searches (for example, to quickly find a customer, product, or document in your ERP).
Suggestions for optimizing your inventory or detecting anomalies.
This latest version of Copilot saves time and reduces human error, which is a real asset for SMEs.
Documents électroniques : simplifier vos échanges avec vos partenaires
