10Batch Approach

Start with operations. Then structure the system.

Business Central implementation should begin with how the manufacturing business actually works: orders, products, materials, production, inventory, fulfilment, finance and reporting.

10Batch uses a structured implementation approach to connect that operational reality with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Manufacturing operations structured into an operating model and Business Central setup.

Software-first implementation creates weak systems

When ERP setup starts before the operating model is clear, the system often reflects the same confusion the business is trying to solve.

Unclear process flow

Production, fulfilment and finance are not connected through one agreed logic.

Inconsistent product data

Products, variants, revisions and manufacturing requirements are not structured clearly enough.

Manual inventory logic

Stock decisions depend on memory, spreadsheets or informal updates instead of reliable operational data.

Disconnected reporting

Reports are created after the fact instead of coming from the work happening inside the business.

Configuration before decisions

System setup starts before the business has agreed how orders, materials, production and finance should flow together.

How 10Batch structures the work

Our approach keeps the implementation grounded in the business process. The system structure follows the operating model, not the other way around.

Step 01

Understand the operation

Map how the business currently handles orders, products, materials, production, inventory, fulfilment and finance.

Step 02

Define the operating model

Clarify how the work should flow before configuring the system.

Step 03

Structure Business Central

Set up Business Central around the agreed operating model, not around isolated features.

Step 04

Improve with operational data

Use connected data to support better decisions, clearer visibility and continuous improvement.

Operating areas we look at

A manufacturing business cannot be structured one function at a time. The operating areas need to be reviewed as connected parts of one model.

01 Orders

Customer demand, priorities and delivery expectations.

02 Products & variants

Product structure, options, versions and manufacturing requirements.

03 Materials

Availability, purchasing needs, suppliers and consumption.

04 Production

Work planning, capacity, priorities and execution.

05 Inventory

Finished goods, reservations, stock accuracy and movement.

06 Fulfilment

Packing, shipping and order completion.

07 Finance

Costs, purchasing, inventory value and revenue connection.

08 Reporting

Operational visibility, performance tracking and decision support.

These areas are not separate software modules. They are connected parts of how the business operates.

Business Central as the system backbone

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central becomes the system backbone when production, inventory, finance and reporting are structured around the same operational data.

The value is not only in configuring the software. The value is in making sure the system reflects how the business should work, how decisions are made and how information moves through the operation.

For growing manufacturing businesses, this creates a stronger base for planning, control, reporting and further scale.

Business Central backbone connecting production, inventory, finance and reporting.

Practical, structured and grounded in manufacturing work

10Batch is not built around generic ERP theatre. The work should feel direct, operational and useful.

Operational before technical

We ask how the work flows before deciding how the system should be configured.

Structured, not theatrical

The goal is clear decisions and usable operating logic, not endless consultancy workshops.

Grounded in manufacturing reality

The approach is shaped around real production, inventory, fulfilment and finance questions.
