UK’s Leading Microsoft Dynamics 365 Partner you Should Consider

Why the Right Dynamics 365 Partner Matters

Have you ever searched for a Dynamics 365 partner, whether on Google, ChatGPT, Copilot, Grok, or even Perplexity, and noticed just how many options appear, each promising expertise and results? 

For a business leader under pressure to modernise systems, this noise can be overwhelming. Should you partner with a multinational reseller boasting big marketing budgets, or a local consultancy claiming to understand your sector?

The truth is, your choice of partner can determine whether your Dynamics 365 deployment accelerates growth or becomes an expensive setback. Microsoft itself emphasises that certified partners help businesses evaluate solutions, tailor them to unique needs, and provide ongoing support.

In this long-form guide, we’ll cut through the hype and help you focus on what really matters. You’ll discover:

• What Microsoft Dynamics 365 actually is and why it’s more than just an ERP or CRM.
• Why working with a Dynamics 365 partner in the UK is non-negotiable for long-term success.
• The four pillars that make Dynamics Square the UK’s leading Microsoft partner.
• How real organisations, from an educational college to a recycling manufacturer and an equestrian retailer—transformed operations with Dynamics Square.
• Practical next steps to evaluate vendors and begin your digital transformation.

By the end, you’ll know exactly how to separate marketing claims from genuine expertise, and why Dynamics Square is uniquely positioned to deliver measurable results for businesses across the UK.

What Is Microsoft Dynamics 365?

Microsoft Dynamics 365 is a suite of cloud business applications that unify enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM) with analytics and AI. Modules cover finance, supply chain, sales, marketing, customer service, field service and more. With one data model across applications, Dynamics 365 lets your finance, operations, sales and service teams work from a single source of truth. It integrates natively with Microsoft 365, Power BI and low‑code Power Platform tools. 

Businesses can start with one module—say Dynamics 365 Business Central for finance and ERP—and add CRM, AI or warehouse management as they grow. Because it’s cloud‑based, updates and new features like Microsoft Copilot (an AI assistant) arrive automatically, helping firms stay agile.

Spotlight: Dynamics 365 Business Central

Small and mid‑sized businesses in the UK often start their journey with Business Central because it combines finance, supply chain, sales and service in one solution. Capabilities include:

• Financial management – synchronised records, accelerated closing, cash‑flow visibility and error reduction.
• Sales – lead prioritisation by revenue potential, flexible pricing, improved cash management and stronger customer relationships.
• Service management – tracking returns and repairs, meeting service agreements and enhancing customer service.
• Project management – accurate job costing, resource optimisation and productivity gains.
• Supply chain and warehouse management – optimised inventory, forecasting and warehouse operations.
• Manufacturing – support for assembly‑to‑order, production orders and throughput planning.

These capabilities make Business Central more than a traditional ERP; it’s a modular ecosystem. Microsoft encourages businesses to adopt a composable ERP; start with the modules you need and scale as you grow. Because it integrates with familiar tools like Outlook, Teams and Power BI, adoption is smoother and training costs are lower. 

Key Capabilities of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Takeaway: Dynamics 365 isn’t “just another ERP.” It’s a modular ecosystem—you can begin with the applications you need today and expand effortlessly tomorrow.

Why You Need a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Partner

When businesses implement enterprise software in isolation, results disappoint. Microsoft’s partner guidance highlights that a UK based Business Central partner helps you evaluate new solutions, tailor them and provide ongoing support. In practice, this means:

• Evaluation – Partners identify which Dynamics 365 applications fit your needs now and as you grow.
• Tailoring – They customise or extend standard processes with industry‑specific functionality.
• Staying on track – Certified consultants provide implementation, training and optimisation so you realise value faster.
• Access to partner apps – Consultants add pre‑built apps that solve niche problems without expensive custom coding.

In short, the right partner de‑risks the project, accelerates return on investment and delivers outcomes, not just software. Without experienced guidance, upgrades stall, integrations fail and user adoption suffers.

Why Dynamics Square Is the UK’s Leading Microsoft Dynamics 365 Partner

Among hundreds of Dynamics partners in the UK, Dynamics Square stands out. Four pillars underpin its success:

1. Proven Excellence

Dynamics Square is a certified Microsoft Solutions Partner for Business Applications (formerly Microsoft Gold Partner). The firm’s implementations are measured against business KPIs—not just on‑time/on‑budget metrics. Whether it’s reducing month‑end close from ten days to three or improving forecast accuracy, Dynamics Square has a track record of delivering measurable ROI. Case studies demonstrate this excellence:

• Education sector – A London college using Dynamics NAV 2009 faced manual errors and management challenges. After upgrading to Dynamics 365 Business Central, they eliminated recurring errors in financial reporting, budgeting and approvals; tailored the system to support procurement workflows in laboratories; and integrated Business Central with Outlook and Teams. The result? A flexible, scalable ERP that automated finance and back‑office tasks and improved collaboration across teachers, students and staf.
   
• Recycling manufacturer – A 30‑year‑old plastic automation company adopted Business Central but the implementation fell short. Financial processes were scattered, inventory accuracy was weak and reporting lagged. Dynamics Square re‑implemented Business Central SaaS with minimal customisation, strong integration with Microsoft 365, improved project management and consolidated reporting. The transformation delivered a 162 % ROI forecast over three years, reduced hire costs by eliminating the need for an extra finance role and shortened payback to under twelve months.
   
• Equestrian retailer – A Northern Ireland saddlery retailer with robotic warehouses used Navision but struggled with isolated systems, unstable middleware and manual reporting. Dynamics Square reimplemented Business Central, integrated robotics and mobile WMS, automated document capture and built middleware connecting e‑commerce marketplaces and point‑of‑sale systems. This delivered stronger retail operations, a digitally synchronised warehouse and end‑to‑end visibility, reducing dependency on external developers and enabling faster decision.

2. Comprehensive Solutions

Some consultancies specialise only in ERP or CRM. Dynamics Square delivers the entire Dynamics 365 stack:

• ERP: Business Central, Finance, Supply Chain Management, Project Operations.
• CRM/Customer Experience: Sales, Customer Service, Field Service, Marketing.
• Power Platform: Power BI for analytics, Power Apps for low‑code applications, Power Automate for workflow automation and Copilot for AI assistance.

This breadth means clients work with one partner across finance, supply chain, sales and service instead of juggling multiple vendors. Dynamics Square also offers integration expertise—for example, connecting Business Central with Shopify or eBay for retail clients or linking Power BI dashboards to real‑time data from manufacturing sensors.

3. Innovation First

Microsoft’s roadmap positions Dynamics 365 as an AI‑first platform. Dynamics Square doesn’t wait for the future; it embeds AI and automation today. Examples include AI‑assisted demand forecasting, Copilot‑driven finance reconciliations and automated warehouse management using robotics and mobile scanners. By implementing low‑code solutions and integrating with Power BI and Power Apps, Dynamics Square empowers clients to build custom apps and dashboards without heavy coding. This innovation focus ensures your systems remain future‑ready.

4. Client‑Centric Partnership

Clients describe Dynamics Square as an extension of their team. Consultants invest time to understand unique challenges, then craft solutions aligned with budgets and growth plans. Support doesn’t stop at go‑live; Dynamics Square offers training, quarterly optimisation sprints and UK‑based customer service. Transparent pricing and a fixed‑cost implementation framework, like the 50‑hour prepaid support package provided to the equestrian retailer, ensure no financial surprises.

Harnessing AI & Copilot: From Systems to Smart Operations

One reason Dynamics 365 stands apart is Microsoft Copilot, an AI assistant embedded across the suite. Dynamics Square helps clients adopt Copilot from day one:

• Finance – Copilot reconciles transactions, drafts journal entries and flags anomalies, shortening month‑end close.
• Supply chain – AI models blend historical demand with external signals to predict stock needs. Dynamics Square’s recycling client improved inventory accuracy and eliminated stockouts after adopting AI forecasting.
• Sales and service – Copilot summarises meetings, drafts follow‑up emails and proposes next‑best actions. Customer service agents respond faster with suggested solutions from the knowledge base.

Because Dynamics 365 shares data across modules, Copilot can surface insights that cross functional boundaries—like combining finance and sales data to predict profitability or blending inventory and marketing data to forecast promotion impact. Dynamics Square configures and trains these AI features so they deliver value without overwhelming users.

With Dynamics Square’s expertise, businesses can adopt a Composable, Connected, and Cognitive ERP strategy, maximising AI’s full potential.

Implementation Methodology: Dynamics Square’s Playbook

Successful ERP/CRM projects follow a disciplined approach. Dynamics Square uses a proven implementation playbook to deliver predictable results:

1. Discovery & value mapping – Workshops capture business processes, pain points and success metrics. For example, the recycling manufacturer identified scattered financial processes and inventory inaccuracies during discovery.
2. Solution blueprint – Consultants design process maps, integration architecture and reporting catalogues tailored to your needs.
3. Agile build & iteration – Configuration and customisations happen in short sprints with regular demos, ensuring stakeholder alignment.
4. Data migration & integrations – Legacy data is cleansed and migrated; connectors link Dynamics 365 with e‑commerce platforms, robots or third‑party CRM.
5. User training & change management – Role‑based training equips finance, operations and sales teams to use the system from day one; super‑users become internal champions.
6. Go‑live & hypercare – A cutover playbook and on‑site support ensure a smooth transition; Dynamics Square provided a five‑day post go‑live support package for the recycling firm.
7. Optimisation & expansion – After go‑live, quarterly sprints deliver new features, reports or automations as needs evolve.

Migration & Modernisation: Moving from Legacy Systems

Many UK organisations still run NAV, AX or GP or even non‑Microsoft ERPs. Dynamics Square offers migration playbooks that minimise risk:

• NAV/GP → Business Central – Automated tools migrate tables, code and data. The college case study upgraded from NAV 2009 to Business Central on‑premise, tailored to laboratory procurement and budgeting.
• AX → Finance & Supply Chain – Processes are reimagined, dual‑write synchronises data with Dynamics 365 Sales and data lakes enable analytics.
• Third‑party ERPs – Phased migrations allow coexistence while new processes are tested. This approach ensures business continuity.

The key is not just data migration but process modernisation. Dynamics Square uses the implementation playbook to redesign workflows and embed AI from the start.

Licensing & Cost: Demystified

Dynamics 365 pricing can be confusing, but Dynamics Square helps clients right‑size licences and budgets. Business Central offers Essentials and Premium tiers; team member licences support light users. CRM applications (Sales, Customer Service, Field Service, Marketing) are licensed individually or as suites. Dynamics Square models total cost of ownership—including licences, implementation, training and support—so clients avoid surprises. For example, the saddlery retailer received a fixed‑cost implementation framework and a 50‑hour prepaid support package. Transparent pricing aligns expectations and prevents mid‑project scope creep.

Security, Governance & Compliance

As regulatory requirements increase, data security can’t be an afterthought. Dynamics 365 runs on the Microsoft Cloud with built‑in role‑based access, encryption, GDPR compliance and audit trails. Dynamics Square designs environment strategies (dev/test/uat/prod), implements segregation of duties and configures backup/disaster recovery. For retail clients, integration of robotics and warehouse management includes secure API connections and data controls. This ensures that even complex solutions remain compliant and resilient.

How to Choose a Top Microsoft Dynamics 365 Partner

With many partners available, use this checklist to select the right one:

1. UK‑based consultants with industry expertise? Dynamics Square’s local consultants understand regional regulations and market nuances.
2. Proven case studies? Look for examples in your sector, like the education, recycling and retail stories above.
3. Full Dynamics 365 stack? Make sure they cover ERP, CRM and Power Platform so you aren’t piecing together multiple vendors.
4. Transparent pricing and governance? Ask about fixed‑cost frameworks and support packages.
5. Ongoing optimisation? Ensure they offer quarterly value sprints and training after go‑live.
6. Innovation capability? Confirm experience with Copilot, Power BI, AI forecasting and other emerging features.

RFP Questions to Ask Potential Partners

When creating a request for proposal, include questions that reveal depth:

• Which Dynamics 365 modules would you implement first and why?
• How will you handle data migration and cleansing?
• What is your training and change management strategy?
• Can you provide UK client references in our industry?
• How will you leverage Copilot and AI in the first phase?
• What KPIs will measure success in the first 90 days?
• How do you ensure fixed pricing and prevent scope creep?

A partner that answers clearly and transparently—like Dynamics Square—will likely deliver a smoother project.
