Order Entry App for Business Central

Ordering on top of Business Central, without retyping.

Microsoft Business Central runs your operation in the cloud: stock, prices and finance, all in order. But your sales reps and customers still order via email, phone and Excel. PLGGR | Order Entry adds a modern ordering layer on top: reps and customers order themselves and orders go back automatically via a standardised Business Central API connection. PLGGR uses the available Business Central API capabilities and connects the fields for order entry, stock, prices and customer data.

Business Central connection via a standardised API approach, extensible per customer environment.

The problem

Your operation runs on Business Central. The ordering can be more modern.

Business Central manages your stock, prices and finance excellently. But the ordering process around it, the orders from your customers and field team, is still largely manual.

12 min
average processing time per manual order. With PLGGR: much faster and fully automatic.
  • Orders start in Excel or on a notepad and get typed into Business Central later by hand. Double work, and every re-keying is a chance for an error.

  • Your field team wants live stock and customer prices at hand on the road. A mobile ordering app on top of Business Central makes that possible, without calling the office.

  • Customers want to order themselves, day and night. A B2B portal on top of Business Central gives them that, so your back office no longer enters everything.

  • Retyping leads to errors. A wrong quantity, price or dimension: the back office corrects it, the customer complains, returns pile up.

  • Multiple companies or warehouses in Business Central? The manual work adds up per environment, with separate overviews and duplicate entry.
