Extend Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central with Certified ISV Add-Ons
Business Central covers finance, sales and operations out of the box — but every business eventually hits a gap standard functionality doesn't fill. NetMonkeys works with a curated network of Microsoft AppSource ISV partners to close those gaps with proven, supported add-ons, rather than building costly custom code from scratch.
Talk to Us About BC Add-Ons →What are ISV add-ons for Business Central?
An ISV (Independent Software Vendor) add-on is a pre-built application that extends Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central with functionality it doesn't include natively — such as advanced reporting, warehouse scanning, document capture, or manufacturing scheduling. ISV add-ons are published on Microsoft AppSource, built specifically to integrate with Business Central, and maintained and supported directly by the vendor.
Rather than commissioning bespoke development for a requirement that's already been solved well by a specialist vendor, ISV add-ons let you buy proven functionality, configure it to your business, and keep it maintained by a team that does nothing else. That's usually faster to deploy, lower risk, and cheaper over the life of the system than custom-building the same capability from scratch.
Why extend Business Central with ISV add-ons?
Standard Business Central is genuinely strong for finance, sales and core operations. These are the situations where an ISV add-on makes more sense than living without the functionality, or building it yourself.
Fills genuine functionality gaps
Deep warehouse scanning, OCR-based invoice capture, and shop-floor scheduling all go well beyond what BC offers natively.
Lower cost than custom development
A vendor has already spent years refining the product. Buying that expertise is almost always cheaper than rebuilding it internally.
Vendor-maintained and supported
Updates, bug fixes and new BC-version compatibility are the vendor's responsibility, not something your IT team has to own.
Faster time to value
Configuring an existing, tested product is almost always quicker than scoping, building and testing bespoke functionality.
AppSource-certified integration
Microsoft-listed ISV apps have passed technical certification for how they connect into Business Central.
Stays inside your ERP
Add-ons run natively within Business Central, so your team keeps working in one system rather than juggling disconnected tools.
How we vet ISV partners before recommending them
With over 2,000 AppSource ISV apps available, most of them will never be right for your business. We only bring a partner into a client project after it's cleared our own review process.
- 1Real-world implementation history
We look for partners with a genuine track record of live Business Central deployments, not just an AppSource listing.
- 2Native BC integration
The add-on has to work inside Business Central's data model — not bolt on as a disconnected, loosely synced system.
- 3Active vendor support
We check that the vendor actively maintains the product and keeps pace with new Business Central releases.
- 4Fit for UK businesses
Licensing, compliance and support models are assessed for how well they suit UK SMEs specifically.
Real consultants, not just a partner list
Every partner on this page has been evaluated, implemented and supported by our own consultants — not picked off an AppSource search result. When we recommend one, it's because someone on our team has configured it for a real UK business.
Reporting & document design partners
For businesses that need more from Business Central's reports and documents than the out-of-the-box layouts provide.
insightsoftware (Jet Reports)
Jet Reports brings live Business Central data straight into Excel, letting finance teams build and refresh their own reports using formulas they already know — no IT ticket required for every new report request. It's one of the most established reporting tools in the Dynamics ecosystem, and a natural fit for finance teams who think in spreadsheets but need real-time accuracy.

ForNAV Solutions
ForNAV replaces Business Central's standard report designer with a genuinely easy drag-and-drop tool for building and customising invoices, statements, labels and financial documents — including barcodes, custom fonts and direct printing, without needing a developer for every layout tweak. For businesses that outgrow BC's default document formatting quickly, it's one of the most practical add-ons available.
Visit ForNAV →Warehouse & mobility partners
For businesses running physical warehouses, field teams or mobile stock processes that standard BC screens weren't designed for.
Tasklet Factory
Tasklet's Mobile WMS turns handheld scanners into a direct extension of Business Central's warehouse module — covering receiving, picking, packing and stock counts with barcode scanning, and continuing to work even when Wi-Fi coverage drops out. It's a genuinely paperless warehouse floor, with everything syncing back into BC in real time.

Multisoft Ltd (MobileNAV)
MobileNAV extends Business Central beyond the warehouse into field sales, field service and production, giving staff a mobile version of BC that works online or fully offline. For businesses whose teams spend as much time out of the office as in it, it keeps everyone working from the same live ERP data regardless of connectivity.
Visit MobileNAV →Finance automation & document capture partners
For finance teams still manually keying invoices, chasing paper receipts, or matching bank statements by hand.
Continia Software A/S
Continia automates the invoice and expense processes that eat up a finance team's week — using OCR to capture supplier invoices, route them through approval workflows, and post them straight into Business Central, alongside mobile expense capture for staff on the road. It's built natively inside BC, so the interface stays familiar to anyone already using the system.

Equisys (Zetadocs)
Zetadocs covers accounts payable automation, mobile expense management and document management for Business Central, letting staff photograph a receipt on their phone and have it flow straight into the approval and posting process. It's a UK-based vendor with a long track record specifically in the Dynamics ecosystem.
Visit Equisys →Manufacturing & extended ERP partners
For manufacturers whose production complexity has outgrown Business Central Premium's standard manufacturing module.
Boyum IT
Boyum IT's manufacturing solutions give production planners a visual scheduling tool, shop-floor data collection, and role-based production dashboards built on top of Business Central — useful for manufacturers who need finer-grained scheduling and shop-floor visibility than the standard Premium manufacturing module provides on its own.

How we implement ISV add-ons alongside your BC rollout
Adding a third-party ISV solution isn't a separate project bolted onto your ERP — we treat it as part of the same implementation, with the same rigour.
Requirement Review
We map the specific gap in standard BC functionality before recommending any partner solution.
Partner Shortlist
We narrow to the 1-2 ISV partners genuinely suited to your industry and scale — not the whole AppSource catalogue.
Licensing & Scoping
We handle licensing quotes and scope the configuration work needed for your specific processes.
Configuration & Integration
The add-on is configured and tested against your live Business Central environment, not a generic demo.
Training
Role-based training so your team is confident using the add-on from day one, not just BC itself.
Ongoing Support
Add-on support sits under the same ongoing BC support contract — one point of contact, not two vendors to chase.

Business Central ISV add-ons: frequently asked questions
What is an ISV add-on for Business Central?
An ISV (Independent Software Vendor) add-on is a pre-built application published on Microsoft AppSource that extends Business Central with functionality it doesn't include natively, such as advanced reporting, warehouse scanning or document capture. It's built specifically to integrate with BC and maintained directly by the vendor.
Do I need an ISV add-on, or can NetMonkeys just build custom functionality?
Usually an ISV add-on is the better option where one already exists for your need — it's typically faster to deploy, vendor-supported, and cheaper over time than custom development. We build bespoke functionality where no suitable add-on exists, or where your requirements are genuinely unique to your business.
How much do Business Central ISV add-ons cost?
Pricing varies significantly by vendor and by how the add-on is licensed — commonly per user, per company, or as a flat platform fee. We handle licensing quotes as part of scoping your project, so you see the real cost before committing.
Are AppSource ISV add-ons safe and Microsoft-certified?
Apps listed on Microsoft AppSource have passed Microsoft's technical validation for how they integrate with Business Central. That said, certification doesn't guarantee a good fit for your business — that's the part we help assess.
Can NetMonkeys help us choose the right add-on for our business?
Yes — that's the core of this service. We review your specific requirements, shortlist the ISV partners genuinely suited to your industry and scale, and handle licensing, configuration, integration and training as part of your Business Central implementation.
Will an ISV add-on slow down our Business Central system?
Well-built, Microsoft-certified add-ons are designed to integrate natively with Business Central's data model and shouldn't meaningfully affect performance. We test configuration against your live environment before go-live specifically to catch any issues before they reach your team.
Not sure which add-on your business actually needs?
Tell us the problem you're trying to solve, and we'll tell you honestly whether an ISV add-on, a Power Platform build, or standard Business Central configuration is the right fix.
