Why it matters for your business
These apps are built for organizations with many legal entities, several countries and currencies, or complex manufacturing and distribution. Knowing the family helps buyers compare it fairly with Business Central, which Microsoft aims at small and mid-sized businesses.
A manufacturer with two plants in different states runs Finance for its books and Supply Chain Management for production and warehousing, both on the same platform.
