Any document. Any BC table.
Not just AP invoices into purchase journals. Invoices, work orders, lab manifests, batch records — anything your shop processes, into any table you maintain. Custom imports, multi‑step posts, the whole map.
AI‑powered tools for Business Central.
A product studio building AI-native software for Microsoft Dynamics Business Central — backed by twenty years of NAV and BC consulting.

Sifterra — AI document processing for Business Central
Stop typing what your techs already wrote.
Work orders, inspection sheets, dispatch logs — they happen on the floor and come back as paper, PDFs, or emails. Sifterra catches them and posts to BC the same shift, without anyone re-keying it from a printout.
When it's a repair log →
WO‑8814 — asset, technician, parts used, downtime, resolution. All of it lands in the Repair Log table, posted to the right cost centre, ready for warranty claims or service revenue billing.
Audit trails you can actually query.
Lab results, chain-of-custody forms, certifications — they prove something to an auditor and then die in a SharePoint folder. Sifterra makes them queryable BC records the moment they arrive.
When it's a lab manifest →
Sample, matrix, collection date, tests, custody — extracted straight from the manifest the lab couriered over. Posted into a Sample Manifest table with the original PDF attached. Next audit, you query it; you don't search a folder.
Every batch traceable, without a clipboard.
Run sheets, QA stamps, operator initials — manufacturing still moves on paper. Sifterra ingests them as the shift ends, and BC gets a live picture of every lot, recipe, yield, and operator without anyone typing it twice.
When it's a batch trace →
Lot 0521‑3, recipe REC‑447, 2,140 lb yield, QA passed — all of it lands in the Batch Trace table the moment the shift report goes in. Recall traceability, ingredient costing, and planner inputs all reading from the same record.
Twenty years inside Business Central.
Two decades of NAV and Business Central work: custom turnkey solutions, complex integrations, version upgrades, and on-prem-to-cloud migrations. NAV and BC are all we do. Nothing else.

We can connect Business Central to anything you already run.
BC is the system of record. The actual work happens everywhere else — at the carrier label, on the marketplace listing, on the warehouse floor. Below are a handful of bridges we've built in past engagements. Whatever stack you're on, the approach is the same: study the seams, write the integration, make the systems behave like one.
- Carriers e.g.
We've integrated UPS and FedEx so users can rate-shop, generate labels, manifest, and track packages without ever leaving the BC sales order. Same approach extends to any carrier with a documented API — DHL, USPS, regional LTL, whatever you run.
- UPS · rating, label gen, void, track-on-post
- FedEx · Ship Manager API, multi-piece, third-party billing
- Marketplaces e.g.
We've built two-way sync between BC and Amazon SP-API and Walmart Marketplace — listings, inventory, orders, settlement reconciliation. Add a Shopify, eBay, TikTok Shop, or B2B EDI partner and the plumbing follows the same pattern.
- Amazon · SP-API · FBA & FBM, settlement reconciliation
- Walmart Marketplace · order ingest, ASN, invoice posting
- Warehouses e.g.
We've built bidirectional sync between BC and Dakota WMS for receipts, picks, putaways, and cycle counts. The pattern transfers to other WMS platforms — and to scanners, scales, and shop-floor systems that need to stay in lock-step with BC.
- Dakota WMS · bidirectional item, inventory, and shipment sync
Built to fit
The tools we build are designed to extend, not lock you in. Add a marketplace next year, swap your WMS the year after, layer AI on data that's already flowing. None of it should mean ripping out the integration and starting over. We build for where you're going, not just where you are.
- AI Integrations · past project
Product data, cleaned and complete — without the copy-paste shift.
Wired AI services into BC for product image retrieval, UPC lookups, and general data cleanup, plus on-demand report generation that doesn't wait on engineering. The same patterns plug into whatever your team is still doing by hand.
- Distribution · past project
Marketplace volume without marketplace chaos.
Wired Amazon SP-API and Walmart orders into the same sales order table the AR team already trusted. Settlement files reconciled themselves. The same setup works for any combination of channels you sell on.
- Warehousing · past project
BC and Dakota, talking like they were designed together.
Built real-time inventory parity, ASNs that matched the receiving dock, and cycle counts that didn't need a Friday-night data-fix script. We can do the same with whatever WMS you're running.
- DTC & Retail · past project
One inventory truth across storefront and marketplaces.
Pushed live availability from BC across Amazon, Walmart, and a direct storefront so the team stopped overselling. Same approach scales to whatever channel mix you sell on.
Common questions about Business Central, AI, and the work we do.
- Business Central is Microsoft's mid-market ERP — finance, supply chain, sales, service, and operations on a single cloud-native platform. It is the successor to Microsoft Dynamics NAV. Most of our consulting work, and everything Sifterra automates, lives inside Business Central.
- Sifterra is AI document processing for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. It extracts structured data from documents — vendor catalogs, sales orders, packing slips, service tickets, inspection reports, BOMs, fixed asset purchases, invoices, anything — and writes it directly into the right table in Business Central via API. The unique part: Sifterra works with 100% of the tables on your BC tenant, standard or custom. One pipeline, every module. Starts at $149 per month on Microsoft AppSource.
- Most competing tools are locked to a single endpoint — usually purchase invoices, sometimes sales orders. Sifterra works with every table on your tenant, including the custom tables your team or consultants have built. That means one tool can populate item catalogs, sales quotes, service tickets, jobs, fixed assets, BOM components, custom inspection tables, custom compliance tables, custom anything — not just AP. The category isn't AP automation; it's an AI document-to-BC pipeline that covers every module of Business Central, standard or bespoke.
- Yes. NAV 5.0 through NAV 2018 migrations to Business Central are a core part of our consulting practice. Twenty years of NAV and BC work means we have seen the edge cases — complex object renumbering, legacy C/AL to AL refactoring, ISV dependency mapping, and posting-group reconciliation.
- Microsoft ships Copilot inside Business Central — bank reconciliation assist, marketing text suggestions, sales line suggestions, item substitution. We extend that surface with Azure OpenAI integrations, custom Copilot Studio bots surfaced through Microsoft Teams, document AI via Sifterra, and AL-native AI workflows that read and write BC tables directly.
- Both. We take on point-in-time projects (Business Central implementations, NAV migrations, AL extension development, Azure AI builds, integrations) and ongoing partnership engagements where we serve as an embedded extension of your BC team.
