About the technology
ERP foundation
Microsoft Dynamics NAV is an enterprise resource planning system for finance, purchasing, sales, inventory and production. Companies use it to connect core business processes, standardize records and give teams a shared view of orders, stock, cash flow and operations. It is also known as Navision and belongs to the Microsoft Dynamics product family.
Business processes
NAV supports configurable workflows across accounting, procurement, warehouse management, manufacturing and service operations. Strong specialists translate business requirements into dimensions, approval rules, posting groups, item structures and reports. They help companies keep processes consistent while adapting the system to industry-specific needs.
Ecosystem and extensions
The surrounding ecosystem can include SQL Server, Microsoft 365, Power BI, Power Automate, SharePoint and external commerce or logistics systems. Depending on the NAV release, professionals work with C/AL, AL, extensions, web services, APIs, data migrations and reporting tools. They also understand the transition path from older NAV installations toward Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
Typical assignments
- Configure finance, sales, purchasing, inventory or manufacturing modules
- Upgrade or migrate a legacy Navision or NAV environment
- Build integrations with banks, e-commerce, warehouse and logistics systems
- Improve reports, workflows, permissions and master data
- Stabilize performance, resolve posting issues and document processes
When expertise matters
Companies bring in freelance NAV specialists during rollouts, acquisitions, upgrades, audit preparation and process redesign. They are especially useful when internal teams need focused capacity or when a system has accumulated customizations that require careful assessment. In Berlin, remote collaboration is often practical, while workshops with finance and operations teams may benefit from on-site sessions and clear German or English communication.
What strong specialists bring
The best professionals combine functional ERP knowledge with technical delivery skills. They ask how transactions move through the business before changing configuration or code, test posting logic, protect data quality and explain trade-offs in plain language. Look for experience with the relevant NAV version, integrations, localization needs, release planning and knowledge transfer to the internal team.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about Microsoft Dynamics NAV? Start with the answers below.
Microsoft Dynamics NAV is used to manage finance, purchasing, sales, inventory, manufacturing and service operations in one ERP system. Companies use it to control transactions, automate workflows, produce reports and connect operational data across departments.
Microsoft Dynamics NAV is the predecessor to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. NAV is commonly maintained in established on-premises environments, while Business Central provides a newer product direction with updated extensions, cloud options and Microsoft 365 integration.
A strong Microsoft Dynamics NAV specialist may also work with SQL Server, Power BI, Microsoft 365, Power Automate, SharePoint and integration APIs. Depending on the system version, useful technical skills include C/AL, AL, extensions, web services and data migration.
A company should define its NAV version, modules, customizations, integrations and business goals before engaging a freelancer. Ask for examples of comparable upgrades, configuration work, troubleshooting or migration projects, and confirm whether the specialist can cover both functional and technical needs.
The right level depends on the scope rather than a fixed duration of experience. A configuration task may need focused functional knowledge, while an upgrade, migration or heavily customized Navision environment calls for a specialist who can assess legacy code, data dependencies and integration risks.
Microsoft Dynamics NAV work can often be delivered remotely from Berlin through secure access, video workshops and shared documentation. On-site sessions can still help with process discovery, warehouse observation and stakeholder alignment, particularly when teams prefer German-language workshops.
A quality Microsoft Dynamics NAV engagement starts with clear process mapping and a controlled review of customizations. The specialist should test finance and operational postings, validate migrated data, document decisions, manage user acceptance and leave the internal team able to support the result.
Navision and NAV remain important in companies with established ERP processes, custom modules and valuable historical data. Freelancers who understand the product can support daily operations, modernize integrations, reduce upgrade risk and guide a practical move toward Business Central when appropriate.
