About the technology
What NAV does
Microsoft Dynamics NAV is Microsoft’s enterprise resource planning system for finance, purchasing, sales, inventory, manufacturing and service operations. It was formerly known as Navision and is the predecessor to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Companies use it to connect core business processes in one operational system.
Core capabilities
NAV supports configurable workflows, permissions, accounting dimensions, inventory movements, warehouse processes and production planning. Specialists adapt the application to local operating needs and reporting structures while preserving a maintainable standard core. They also handle data imports, upgrades and user-facing process changes.
Ecosystem and tools
The surrounding skill set includes C/AL and AL development, SQL Server, Microsoft Azure services, Power BI, Excel, APIs and web services. Strong professionals understand NAV objects, tables, pages, reports, codeunits and extensions, as well as version control and deployment practices. Integrations may connect ecommerce, payroll, banking or logistics systems.
Where companies use it
- Financial accounting, budgeting and consolidation
- Purchasing, sales orders and customer service
- Inventory, warehousing and distribution
- Manufacturing, bills of materials and capacity planning
- Service contracts, dispatching and field operations
NAV appears in manufacturing, wholesale, retail, logistics and professional services. In Austria, specialists may also need to understand German-language processes, local finance workflows and collaboration with offices that operate across borders.
When to bring in experts
Freelance expertise helps when an internal team faces a complex rollout, a legacy customization, a migration to Business Central or an integration that cannot wait. It is also useful for performance reviews, reporting changes, master-data cleanup and replacing knowledge held by a departing specialist. Remote work is practical when documentation and secure access are ready; on-site sessions can help with workshops and process mapping in Austria.
What strong specialists deliver
Good NAV professionals first clarify the business process and the current application landscape. They distinguish configuration from custom code, document dependencies and test changes across finance and operations. Look for clear estimates, disciplined release practices, practical user training and experience with the relevant NAV version, localization and integration pattern. Their deliverables should include tested changes, migration plans, technical documentation and a clear handover.
Frequently asked questions
Everything clients usually want to know about Microsoft Dynamics NAV, in one place.
Microsoft Dynamics NAV is used to manage finance, purchasing, sales, inventory, warehousing, manufacturing and service operations. It gives companies a shared system for transactions, workflows, reporting and operational data.
Microsoft Dynamics NAV is the predecessor to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Business Central extends the same broad ERP foundation with a more modern cloud-oriented architecture, while NAV projects often involve established on-premises installations, customizations and migration work.
A strong Microsoft Dynamics NAV specialist may also work with C/AL, AL, SQL Server, Power BI, Excel, APIs and web services. Knowledge of accounting, warehouse operations, manufacturing or Austrian business processes can be important depending on the assignment.
The right level depends on the scope. A configuration task may need strong module knowledge, while a legacy customization, upgrade or integration calls for a professional who can trace dependencies, assess data quality and manage testing across connected processes.
Yes, many Dynamics NAV assignments can be handled remotely through secure access, structured workshops and shared documentation. On-site work can still be valuable for process discovery, user training and coordination with Austrian teams or operational sites.
Clarify the NAV version, installed modules, customization history, database environment and target outcome. Also confirm access requirements, integration boundaries, documentation expectations and whether the assignment concerns configuration, development, migration or support.
Ask for examples of comparable Microsoft Dynamics NAV deliverables and the reasoning behind design decisions. Quality is visible in documented changes, controlled testing, reliable data handling, clear user communication and a handover that another specialist can maintain.
Navision is the former product name associated with Microsoft Dynamics NAV. People still use it when referring to older installations, historical customizations or the wider product lineage, so including both terms helps clarify the scope of a project.
