Microsoft Dynamics 365Business Central
Still rekeying orders, planning production on a spreadsheet, or guessing what a job really cost? Watch one order run through a working system instead, from the first customer email to the final cost and margin report.
From Order to Cash is a free 90-minute live webinar for UK manufacturers on 24th November and 1st December 2026. It runs on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, with NETRONIC’s Visual Production Scheduler for scheduling, Bee Solved MES* on the shop floor, and Bee Solved AI Assistant for quoting and reporting.
- 1EnquiryThe customer’s email lands in Outlook, with their Business Central account alongside it.
- 2QuoteBee Solved AI Assistant reads the customer’s email and creates the sales quote in Business Central.
- 3PlanThe quote becomes an order. Planning suggests the production order and the steel to buy, and NETRONIC’s Visual Production Scheduler lays the job out on a drag-and-drop schedule.
- 4MakeThe production order is released, and Bee Solved MES* records the materials and time used on the shop floor.
- 5DeliverThe goods ship, and stock updates as the shipment is posted.
- 6InvoiceThe invoice is posted straight from the shipped order.
- 7PaidThe payment is matched in the bank.
- 8ReportBee Solved AI Assistant reports the job’s cost and margin from everything that posted.
Because the story is continuous, you see how each step feeds the next. For example, the sales order drives the steel purchase, which drives the production order, which drives the job cost you see at the end.
Everything runs in one demo company. Northfield Fabrications Ltd is a fictitious 30-person precision steel components manufacturer based in Manchester. We built it for this session, so no real customer data appears on screen.
*Bee Solved MES is coming to Microsoft Marketplace soon.
