The Best 3rd Party Reporting Tools for Business Central

Financial reporting and analysis tools are critical to any business. Although the native Business Central reporting tools meet requirements for many companies, some organizations find the Business Central tools lack the flexibility for complex and robust reporting needs.

Bond Consulting Services has partnered with two fantastic companies that offer reporting tools for Business Central providing greater depth and customizability.

FYIsoft is an approved Microsoft Partner with financial reporting solutions that integrate with any Dynamics ERP in the Microsoft ecosystem. The Financial Reporting Software is a dedicated financial reporting tool that utilizes general ledger and budget data to create financial statements including consolidated financial reports. Also, the Budgeting and Analytics modules provide for more advanced budgeting and reporting capabilities.

User friendly interfaces require little technical knowledge to create and generate consistent, informative financial statement formats. FYIsoft can run repeated reports at the touch of a button, making it easy to generate and distribute monthly, quarterly, and annual financial reports. FYIsoft is similar to Management Reporter (and FRx) and will be familiar to many Dynamics users.

 

Insight Software is another approved Microsoft Partner that provides Jet Reports, which is an Excel add-in offering fast and flexible financial and enterprise-wide reporting for ant Dynamics ERP and/or CRM in the Microsoft ecosystem. Jet Reports allows users to create financial reports from the general ledger module as well as reporting from master records, documents and/or detail level data in non-G/L modules like Purchasing and/or Sales. Jet Reports allows consolidated reports, cross-company and cross-platform reporting.

Jet Reports empowers users to access the data they need and create custom reports. The Budgeting and Analytics modules also provide for more advanced budgeting and reporting capabilities. Jet Reports requires some technical knowledge from the users, but leveraging Jet wizards greatly simplifies the report writing process. Jet Reports also pairs well with Power BI if you are looking for dashboards, great graphics, and more.
