Your Business Central data, in plain language.
28 pre-built queries covering sales, finance, inventory, manufacturing, and more. Ask a question. Get an answer. No Power BI, no analyst, no waiting.
Your ERP has the answers. Getting them takes too long.
Reports that take days
Your finance team spends hours building the same Excel reports every week. There has to be a better way.
Tools nobody uses
Power BI is powerful — but only if someone has time to learn it, maintain it, and rebuild it every time something changes.
The same questions, every week
Top customers, overdue invoices, stock alerts. Asked manually. Answered slowly. Every single week.
Three steps from question to insight
Connect
We set up secure web services on your existing Business Central instance. Your data never leaves your environment.
Ask

Common questions
Is my data secure?+
Yes. Vanguard Insights connects to web services you control on your own BC instance. No data is stored externally. All queries run in real time against your environment.
Do I need additional licences?+
No. Vanguard Insights works with your existing Business Central licence. There are no per-user Microsoft add-on fees.
Which versions of Business Central are supported?+
We support Business Central online (SaaS) and on-premise from version 21 onwards. Older versions may require a short assessment.
Can it be customised to our specific reports?+
Absolutely — and that's the point. We configure Vanguard Insights around your chart of accounts, your dimensions, and your business processes. It's not generic.
