ERP platforms play a pivotal role within retail & COVID-19 has accelerated the shift from high street retail to online, with many retailers now becoming sole online-retailers. And just as any bricks and mortar store would need help with accounting, so too do online retailers and e-commerce stores.  With a changing landscape, technology such as Dynamics 365 Business Central can not only help you manage changing demands but also help to deliver a much better experience to your customers.
