The right route depends on the fashion solution you run on Business Central and on your Microsoft partner.
Four connector apps on Microsoft AppSource link Business Central, or a fashion solution on it, to Colect. Your Microsoft partner installs and configures the app.
TCOG, ACA, twoday and other partners build and maintain Colect integrations for Business Central, often as part of their own fashion solution.
Connect Business Central to Colect's SOAP API yourself, or through an integration platform. Alumio, Patchworks and Celigo have Business Central connectors, and several Colect brands on Dynamics run their integration on Lobster.
Larger brands on Finance & Operations (now Finance and Supply Chain Management) or Dynamics AX connect through the Colect API or SFTP files. Their Microsoft partner, such as Blue Dynamic, or an integration platform such as Alumio or Azure Integration Services builds and runs the connection. Products, prices, stock and customers flow into Colect, and orders flow back, on the same data model as Business Central.
Microsoft partners publish four of these apps on Microsoft AppSource, now part of Microsoft Marketplace. Central Solutions offers its connector directly.
Partner-built, by design. On Business Central, fashion functionality comes from partner solutions such as itSuitsFashion 365, XPRT 365, CS Fashion Central and FaVa. The partners who build those solutions know your set-up best, so they build and maintain the connection to Colect, and Colect's integration team works alongside them. It's how B2B platforms connect to Business Central across the market, and Colect has one of the broadest partner networks for it: 4 apps on AppSource, 13 Dynamics partners.
