Problem
Finance teams using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central often lack consolidated, real-time views of brand-level profitability, budget versus actual performance, and aggregator accounts receivable, forcing them to rely on manual Excel consolidations and fragmented reporting.
Solution
Zfense Labs provides a read‑only integration layer—Lens—that connects directly to a Business Central instance and automatically surfaces brand‑level P&L, budget vs. actual variance, and aggregator AR dashboards. The solution maps existing GL dimensions to pre‑built analytical views, enabling drill‑down from group KPIs to individual outlet revenue across current, prior, and year‑over‑year periods. All data remains within the customer’s environment, with bank‑grade encryption, role‑based access controls, and full audit trails to meet compliance requirements. Users access the insights through a web interface that presents consolidated revenue, margin, cost allocation, and invoice aging without modifying source data.
