About the technology

Business platform

Microsoft Dynamics NAV is an enterprise resource planning system for finance, purchasing, sales, inventory, manufacturing and warehouse operations. It centralises business data and supports workflows that can be adapted to company-specific processes. The product was formerly known as Navision and is now part of the Microsoft Dynamics product family.

Core capabilities

NAV supports general ledger, accounts receivable, accounts payable, budgeting, purchasing, sales orders, inventory control and production planning. Its modules can cover:

  • Financial management and reporting
  • Warehouse, item tracking and logistics
  • Manufacturing and capacity planning
  • Sales, purchasing and service workflows

Ecosystem and extensions

Specialists work across different NAV versions, localisations and customisation models. Depending on the installation, this includes C/AL and C/SIDE in older environments, or AL and Visual Studio Code for extensions connected to the modern Microsoft ecosystem. Integrations may involve Microsoft 365, Power BI, SQL Server, web services and APIs.

When expertise matters

Companies bring in freelance NAV professionals during implementations, upgrades, migrations and periods of operational change. They can help when a legacy customisation blocks an upgrade, reporting is unreliable, or finance and logistics teams need one consistent process. German organisations may also need support for local accounting workflows and collaboration in German or English.

Typical project work

A specialist can assess the current solution, map business requirements and configure modules without disrupting daily operations. Common deliverables include:

  • Fit-gap analysis and solution design
  • Data migration, cleansing and reconciliation
  • Custom reports, pages, workflows and extensions
  • Interfaces for e-commerce, logistics or banking
  • User training, documentation and go-live support

Strong professionals

The strongest NAV professionals combine product knowledge with practical understanding of accounting, supply chain or manufacturing operations. They distinguish standard functionality from custom code, document dependencies and test changes against real business cases. Look for clear upgrade planning, careful data handling and the ability to explain technical choices to both business users and IT teams.

Frequently asked questions

The facts hiring teams ask for most often when it comes to Microsoft Dynamics NAV.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV is used to manage finance, purchasing, sales, inventory, warehousing, manufacturing and service operations in one ERP system. A specialist can configure these areas, connect them to other applications and adapt workflows to the company’s operating model.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV is the predecessor of Dynamics 365 Business Central, with many installations still running on-premises or in privately managed environments. Business Central is the newer product direction, so a project should assess version compatibility, existing customisations and whether a staged migration is practical.

NAV work often requires knowledge of accounting processes, supply chain operations, SQL Server, Microsoft 365, Power BI and integration design. For newer environments, AL, Visual Studio Code and extension development are valuable; older installations may require C/AL and C/SIDE expertise.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV projects need a specialist familiar with the relevant version, localisation and business module. A short configuration task may need focused product knowledge, while an upgrade, migration or manufacturing rollout requires experience with data, custom code, testing and change management.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV work is often suitable for remote collaboration when secure system access, documentation and a clear test environment are available. On-site workshops can still help with process mapping, warehouse observation or user acceptance, while German and English language skills may matter for local teams.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV expertise should be assessed through relevant project examples, version knowledge and evidence of successful upgrades or integrations. Ask how the specialist handles customisations, data migration, testing, documentation and rollback planning rather than relying only on module names.

NAV can exchange data with e-commerce shops, warehouse tools, banking services, CRM systems and reporting solutions through APIs, web services, database interfaces or middleware. The right integration approach depends on the NAV version, transaction volume, data ownership and security requirements.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV projects become risky when undocumented customisations, inconsistent master data or unclear ownership are ignored. Weak testing, direct changes to the core application and no upgrade path can create avoidable maintenance problems.

The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used Microsoft Dynamics NAV in their recent projects is 118 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 941 € based on an 8-hour working day.

Of the freelancers in Germany who have used Microsoft Dynamics NAV in their recent projects, 73% hold at least a Bachelor's degree, 38% hold at least a Master's degree, and 4% hold a doctorate.

On average, freelancers in Germany who have used Microsoft Dynamics NAV in their recent projects have 26 years of professional experience, with a single engagement typically lasting around 2.4 years.

The most common languages among freelancers in Germany who have used Microsoft Dynamics NAV in their recent projects are German (99%), English (96%), and French (25%).

The most common industries among freelancers in Germany who have used Microsoft Dynamics NAV in their recent projects are Manufacturing (72%), Professional Services (72%), and Information Technology (59%).

The most common business areas among freelancers in Germany who have used Microsoft Dynamics NAV in their recent projects are Project Management (82%), Operations (67%), and Information Technology (63%).
