How artificial intelligence is transforming ERP with Dynamics 365 Business Central

etac Solutions explains how Artificial Intelligence features in Dynamics 365 Business Central extend ERP from a system of record to a system that forecasts, automates and assists users.

etac Solutions works with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Microsoft’s modern ERP for small and medium-sized businesses, and highlights how Artificial Intelligence built into the product is changing how organisations use enterprise resource planning. Rather than only recording past transactions, Business Central is presented as a system that actively helps people work smarter by surfacing insights and supporting decision making. etac Solutions positions itself as a partner that implements the system and helps customers apply its features to their needs.

One clear shift described is toward prediction. Business Central uses Artificial Intelligence to analyse historical income, outgoings and expected payments to forecast cash flow, giving finance teams more confidence when planning. Demand forecasting is another example, where the system studies sales trends and seasonal patterns to recommend stock levels. According to the article, these predictive capabilities aim to reduce waste, prevent shortages and improve customer satisfaction by aligning inventory and cash planning with anticipated needs.

Artificial Intelligence also targets everyday tasks. Business Central includes Microsoft Copilot, which can draft email text, summarise reports and guide users through complex processes. These features are framed as shortcuts that cut time spent on manual reporting and routine administration, enabling staff to focus more on customer relationships and growth. The article emphasises that the technology supports staff rather than replacing them, combining team experience with system intelligence to reduce human error and free up time.

The article notes that these capabilities are now available to smaller businesses in the UK through Dynamics 365 Business Central, and that etac Solutions helps firms implement and understand the practical application of these features.
