Dynamics 365 is a family of Microsoft business applications. Identify whether your ERP proposal uses Business Central, Finance, Supply Chain Management or a combination before comparing it with Tellency. Evaluate finance, CRM, production, inventory, integrations and regional requirements against the same operating scenarios.
The Tellency column describes implemented workflows to demonstrate. Vendor summaries reference the official sources below. Confirm availability, licensing and configuration in each proposal.
| Consideration | Tellency | Dynamics 365 |
|---|---|---|
| Product and scope | Connected ERP and CRM workflows, with deployment, modules and services agreed in the proposal. | Business Central covers finance, sales, service, projects and supply-chain operations. Dynamics 365 Finance is a separate product focused on financial management. |
| Finance controls | Bank-statement import, matching and reconciliation approvals; recurring invoice and bill drafts; overdue reminders with sending logs. | Demonstrate financial processes and reporting in the specific Microsoft product and configuration being proposed. |
| Manufacturing and inventory | BOM revisions, cost estimates and approval; work-order release through completion; inspection outcomes; staged stock transfers. | Business Central describes BOMs, assembly, production orders, inventory and warehouse capabilities. Validate your required depth and licensing. |
| CRM and customer workflows | Lead imports, duplicate handling, ownership, qualification, conversion and opportunity pipeline stages. | Business Central describes customer interactions and connections with Dynamics 365 Sales, Customer Service and Field Service. Identify which applications your proposal includes. |
| Productivity integrations | Define each required email, spreadsheet, collaboration and reporting connection and demonstrate it before acceptance. | Business Central highlights connections with Outlook, Excel, Teams and Power BI. Confirm the required licences and configuration. |
| Commercial and deployment scope | Managed cloud or self-hosted options. Platform pricing starts at $79 USD per user per month; services and usage are scoped separately. | Obtain a proposal listing exact applications, user licences, environments, extensions, implementation and support rather than treating Dynamics 365 as one subscription. |

A comparison with Business Central answers a different question from one with Finance and Supply Chain Management. List the actual applications and environments in the shortlist, including separate sales, service, commerce, analytics or industry components. Evaluate Tellency against the resulting requirements. Choosing a product by company headcount alone misses the controls, operational complexity, data volumes and reporting that determine fit.
Demonstrate a customer requirement through fulfilment, invoicing, payment and bank reconciliation. Add stock moving between locations, a failed inspection and an overdue invoice. Review source records, approvals, role boundaries and final reports. Tellency has implemented stock-transfer stages, inspection outcomes, bank reconciliation approvals and reminder logs; confirm the complete configured process rather than assuming every handoff is automatic.
Use a BOM revision, component cost estimate, production hold and rework or scrap decision. Tellency supports these workflows, but advanced MRP calculations, finite-capacity scheduling, specialist costing and high-volume performance need their own demonstration. Use the same quantities, exceptions and reporting criteria in each vendor’s acceptance pack, and record any additional configuration, integration or development required.
For each Microsoft 365 or other connection, specify the records exchanged, direction, timing, authentication and owner. Test rejected records, duplicate events and recovery. An integration name alone does not show that a workflow is ready. Do not assume Tellency provides equivalent Outlook, Teams or Power BI connections without a demonstration, or that choosing Microsoft removes integration and data-governance work.
Request comparable scope for users, modules, historical data, environments, training, support, updates and third-party services. Confirm who manages extensions, export access, incidents and recovery. Tellency starts at $79 USD per user per month; this is not an all-modules implementation price or proof of savings. Around eight weeks is a Tellency planning reference, subject to discovery, data readiness, integrations and acceptance.
For US, Canadian, Asian and MENA operations, list the entities, currencies, languages, tax outputs, payroll documents and invoicing connections required. Test each with your advisers and implementation team. An accounting module or country landing page does not establish statutory filing support. Include opening balances, stock totals and reporting reconciliation in the cutover criteria.
