Why Australian Manufacturers Are Migrating from Xero to Business Central
Xero is great for simple businesses, but manufacturing companies need more. Here's what you're missing:
🏭 Limited Manufacturing Features
Xero can't handle production orders, bill of materials, or work center scheduling. You're managing manufacturing with spreadsheets and guesswork.
Business Central: Full manufacturing module with production planning
📦 Basic Inventory Management
Xero's inventory is too simple for real manufacturing - no lot tracking, no location management, no material requirements planning.
Business Central: Advanced inventory with MRP, lot tracking, warehousing
📊 Limited Reporting & Analytics
Xero's reports don't give you the manufacturing insights you need - production costs, material variances, capacity utilization.
Business Central: Comprehensive manufacturing dashboards & analytics
🔗 Integration Limitations
Connecting Xero to other systems requires expensive third-party tools and constant maintenance. Integration breaks frequently.
Business Central: Native Microsoft ecosystem integration
The Bottom Line:
Xero was perfect when you were smaller, but now it's limiting your growth. You need a system that can handle real manufacturing complexity.
"We migrated from Xero to Business Central and immediately gained visibility we never had. Production planning went from chaos to predictable." - Sarah K., Manufacturing Manager
