Business Central forecasting tools to boost manufacturing efficiency and optimization
The supply chain is a living, fluctuating entity that can be studied, its motions anticipated. Manufacturers of all types—whether they be agile, discrete, process, custom, etc.—require strong forecasting skills to stay on top of that entity and meet customer demand. The better a business can forecast and anticipate what is to come, the faster they can produce product and get it to their customer, the higher their customer satisfaction, and the more sales they are likely to make.
How does Business Central meet the needs of your industry?
Business Central’s base functionality is well-equipped to handle core requirements of any business and offers a reliable solution to unify financial processes–regardless of industry.

Preventing check fraud using Safe Pay in Dynamics GP
Although writing physical checks is slowly becoming a thing of the past, check fraud prevention is more important than ever. In 2018, the American Bankers Associated estimated that attempted check fraud surpassed $15 billion. So, what can businesses of any size do to buckle down on their financial security?
Utilizing Safe Pay features in Dynamics GP is an added layer of verification for outbound checks and payments. Once Safe Pay is set up, it’s quite straightforward to use, not to mention an easy practice to incorporate into the check running process.
Utilizing Positive Pay for fraud protection in Business Central
One way to crack down on potential digital payment and check fraud is by implementing Positive Pay, a fraud protection service offered and used by many banks, which can be considered an automated second set of eyes that monitors checks and payments and flags things that may cause concern. So, how exactly does Positive Pay work, and why should you implement it?
