About the technology

ERP foundation

Microsoft Dynamics NAV is an enterprise resource planning system for small and midsize companies. It brings finance, purchasing, sales, inventory, warehousing and production into one operational system. Companies use it to standardize processes, control master data and give teams a shared view of transactions.

Business processes

NAV supports workflows from quotation and order management through purchasing, fulfillment, invoicing and financial reporting. Its manufacturing capabilities cover bills of materials, routings, planning and production orders. Service management, jobs, fixed assets and warehouse operations can be added where the business model requires them.

Versions and ecosystem

The product was formerly known as Navision and is commonly called NAV. Its ecosystem includes Microsoft SQL Server, Windows infrastructure, Office and Excel integrations, reporting tools, web services and extensions built with C/AL or AL, depending on the version. Projects may also involve migrations toward Dynamics 365 Business Central.

  • Configure finance, sales, purchasing and inventory modules
  • Adapt pages, reports, workflows and approval rules
  • Connect NAV with CRM, ecommerce, logistics and payment systems
  • Plan upgrades, data migrations and Business Central transitions

When specialists help

Companies bring in freelance expertise when an implementation has complex local processes, when inherited customizations slow upgrades, or when users cannot rely on consistent data. Specialist support is also useful for integrations, reporting redesigns, performance issues and phased migrations from older Navision or NAV installations.

  • Replace spreadsheets and manual reconciliation steps
  • Investigate posting, planning or inventory inconsistencies
  • Prepare a version upgrade or cloud transition
  • Document configurations and train operational teams

Skills that matter

Strong professionals understand both ERP configuration and the business process behind it. They can model dimensions, posting groups, permissions, item data, warehouses and production structures without losing sight of auditability. Depending on the assignment, useful adjacent skills include SQL, Power BI, APIs, web services, Azure integration and Business Central architecture.

Quality signals

Look for experts who can explain the specific NAV version, modules and customization approach they have handled. Good delivery starts with a clear fit-gap assessment, a controlled test environment and a migration plan that protects transaction history and master data. Quality also shows in readable custom code, documented decisions, user acceptance testing and support after go-live.

Frequently asked questions

Before you brief your next project: the most common questions about Microsoft Dynamics NAV.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV is used to manage finance, purchasing, sales, inventory, warehousing, manufacturing and service processes in one ERP system. Companies often engage specialists to configure these areas, improve reporting or connect NAV with other business applications.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV is the predecessor of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, with many on-premises installations still in active use. Business Central extends the same ERP heritage with a newer platform, cloud options and modern extension capabilities, so the right path depends on the current version, customizations and business goals.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV work often benefits from knowledge of SQL Server, C/AL, AL, APIs, web services, Power BI and Microsoft 365 integrations. An expert may also need practical understanding of warehouse operations, manufacturing planning, accounting controls or data migration.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV projects vary widely: a report change differs from a multi-company implementation or a migration from Navision. Assess the expert against the relevant modules, version, industry process and customization scope rather than relying on a generic experience label.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV assignments can often be delivered remotely through secure access, structured workshops and shared test environments. On-site work may still help with warehouse, production or finance process discovery, especially when teams need hands-on validation.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV specialists should be able to describe comparable modules, explain their approach to testing and document how they handle customizations. Ask for a clear discovery plan, defined deliverables and evidence that they can communicate with both operational users and technical teams.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV upgrades can become difficult when years of custom code, modified objects, inconsistent master data and third-party add-ons are not documented. A capable professional first maps dependencies, separates standard functionality from custom behavior and tests critical business processes before cutover.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV delivery should leave the company with reliable processes, controlled data, tested integrations and documentation that users can maintain. Strong specialists also provide practical training, transparent issue tracking and a support plan for the period after release.

The average hourly rate of freelancers who have used Microsoft Dynamics NAV in their recent projects is 117 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 937 € based on an 8-hour working day.

Of the freelancers who have used Microsoft Dynamics NAV in their recent projects, 73% hold at least a Bachelor's degree, 40% hold at least a Master's degree, and 3% hold a doctorate.

On average, freelancers who have used Microsoft Dynamics NAV in their recent projects have 26 years of professional experience, with a single engagement typically lasting around 2.5 years.

The most common languages among freelancers who have used Microsoft Dynamics NAV in their recent projects are German (100%), English (96%), and French (24%).

The most common industries among freelancers who have used Microsoft Dynamics NAV in their recent projects are Manufacturing (72%), Professional Services (71%), and Information Technology (61%).

The most common business areas among freelancers who have used Microsoft Dynamics NAV in their recent projects are Project Management (81%), Operations (66%), and Information Technology (62%).
