Always current on Business Central online

Our apps are built for Dynamics 365 Business Central online and follow Microsoft's release rhythm. There is no version to pick and nothing to upgrade by hand.

Two major releases a year

Every app is validated against the next Business Central release before Microsoft rolls it out, so the update wave never catches you off guard.

Monthly updates included

Fixes and improvements ship through AppSource and your Business Central admin center, with the same monthly cadence as the platform.

Current and previous release supported

You can stay on the release schedule your organisation prefers; we support the current major version and the one before it.
