About the technology
What NAV is
Microsoft Dynamics NAV is an enterprise resource planning system for managing finance, purchasing, sales, inventory, warehousing and manufacturing. Formerly known as Navision, it gives growing companies a configurable business platform with shared data and connected processes. Many organisations now assess NAV alongside its successor, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
Core business processes
NAV supports end-to-end workflows across departments and legal entities. It can centralise accounting, item data, customer orders, supplier activity, stock movements and production planning while preserving approval rules and audit trails.
- Financial accounting, budgeting and reporting
- Sales orders, purchasing and inventory control
- Warehouse operations and logistics
- Manufacturing, bills of material and planning
- Intercompany and multi-entity processes
Ecosystem and tooling
Specialists work across C/AL, AL and the Dynamics NAV development environment, depending on the product version and project scope. They may configure pages, reports, workflows, permissions and posting groups, or extend the system with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central capabilities. Integrations commonly involve APIs, web services, Microsoft SQL Server, Excel, Power BI and external warehouse or ecommerce software.
When companies need help
Freelance expertise is useful when an internal team must adapt NAV without disrupting daily operations. Companies often bring in a specialist for an implementation, a new legal entity, a module rollout, a data migration, a difficult integration or a controlled upgrade path.
- Replace manual finance or order processes
- Clean and migrate master data
- Connect NAV with CRM, ecommerce or logistics tools
- Improve reports, permissions and approval workflows
- Prepare a transition from NAV to Business Central
What strong specialists deliver
Good professionals begin with process discovery rather than configuration assumptions. They translate business rules into maintainable extensions or settings, document decisions and test posting logic with representative data. They also understand release management, user training, support handover and the risks of changing a live ERP system.
Working in Berlin
Berlin companies may need NAV expertise for retail, manufacturing, distribution, services and internationally connected operations. Remote delivery works well for analysis, configuration, development and documentation when access and communication are organised clearly. On-site workshops can help with process mapping, stakeholder alignment and user acceptance, especially where German and English teams work together.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about Microsoft Dynamics NAV? Start with the answers below.
Companies use Microsoft Dynamics NAV to manage finance, purchasing, sales, inventory, warehousing and manufacturing in one ERP system. A specialist can configure these processes, connect external applications and create reports that reflect the organisation’s operating model.
Microsoft Dynamics NAV is a mature, highly configurable ERP product with a broad installed base and many industry-specific adaptations. Business Central is its cloud-oriented successor, while SAP Business One is a separate ERP option; the right choice depends on existing customisations, integration needs, migration risk and the company’s preferred operating model.
A strong Microsoft Dynamics NAV professional often combines functional ERP knowledge with C/AL or AL, SQL Server, APIs, web services, reporting and data migration. Experience with Power BI, Excel, warehouse systems, ecommerce integrations and Business Central can also be valuable.
A capable Microsoft Dynamics NAV freelancer should have delivered work similar to the assignment, such as an implementation, upgrade, integration, manufacturing rollout or finance redesign. Ask for concrete examples of process ownership, testing, data handling and support after go-live rather than relying on product familiarity alone.
Microsoft Dynamics NAV work can usually be delivered remotely for discovery, configuration, development, testing and documentation. Berlin-based teams may still prefer on-site workshops for process mapping or user acceptance, while German and English communication expectations should be agreed before work begins.
A reliable Microsoft Dynamics NAV expert explains the effect of configuration choices on posting, permissions, reporting and future maintenance. Quality also shows in clear documentation, structured testing, careful data migration and a practical plan for handing knowledge to internal users.
Whether Microsoft Dynamics NAV suits a new project depends on licensing, existing company expertise, required integrations and the intended product roadmap. For many organisations, Business Central deserves comparison, while NAV remains relevant where an established solution, customisation or operational dependency must be supported.
A Microsoft Dynamics NAV assignment may involve legacy C/AL code, customised objects, undocumented workflows and sensitive financial data. Freelancers should expect to clarify the product version, development environment, access model, testing responsibilities and whether the work supports ongoing NAV operations or a move to Business Central.
