Why Australian businesses choose Bizspoke
Local support in Australia
Support for Australian clients during your business day, from people who understand your operations.
Longer support hours
Our Hong Kong and Australian teams work across both time zones, so support covers more of the day — including early mornings and evenings.
Our own WMS and TMS
Add mobile warehouse scanning, truck routing and electronic proof of delivery that run inside Business Central.
AI automation
AI document capture, bank reconciliation, stock take and Copilot agents extend what Business Central can do.
Why staying on NAV is getting riskier
- Older NAV versions are out of Microsoft support — no new security fixes for known weaknesses
- Ageing servers, SQL and Windows versions make hardware replacement risky
- Fewer developers know older NAV versions, so fixes take longer and cost more
- Hard to connect e-commerce, banks, mobile and AI tools
- No Copilot or AI features, which only arrive on Business Central
Upgrade steps and typical timeline
Timing depends on your NAV version, data volume and customisations; we confirm a plan after the assessment.
- 1
Assessment 1–2 weeks
Review NAV version, customisations, add-ons, reports and integrations; decide what to keep, replace with standard features or retire.
- 2
Design and licensing 1–2 weeks
Map processes to Business Central's Australian version, plan extensions such as WMS, TMS or AI, and check BTC3 eligibility.
- 3
Rebuild and data migration 4–10 weeks
Rebuild needed customisations as extensions, migrate data to a sandbox and run test migrations.
- 4
Testing and training 2–4 weeks
Users test real daily scenarios; key users and staff are trained.
- 5
Go-live and support 1–2 weeks
Final data cut-over, go-live, and extended-hours support through the first month-end.
