What NavExperts does
NavExperts is a Baarn, Netherlands-based IT services firm specializing in the implementation, customization, and support of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (and its predecessors NAV and AX). Founded in 2015 by Rien Overvliet as a spin-off from FashionExperts, the firm targets SMB and mid-market organizations in the Dutch retail and fashion verticals, with named customers including Zeeman, Wolky, Wibra, Deventrade, Hacom, Approvato & Fair&Co, and Angro. NavExperts positions itself as an objective Microsoft Dynamics partner emphasizing minimal customization, a structured 30-40-30 implementation methodology, and disciplined adherence to standard Microsoft release paths to simplify upgrades.
The company's product portfolio layers proprietary add-on modules on top of the core Microsoft ERP platform. Connect4NAV provides an interface framework for coupling third-party applications (marketplaces, B2C/B2B portals, 3PL, EDI) to Dynamics without modifying core objects, while EDI4NAV handles automated translation of standard EDI messages (ORDER, DESADV, INVOIC, PRICAT, SLSRPT, INVRPT) across XML, EDIFACT, and ANSI X12 formats. SERVICE4NAV delivers a 24-hour remote support desk, Sumatra provides operational intelligence dashboards, and CloudFashion offers a cloud-native ERP for fashion-vertical use cases. NavExperts also resells and implements third-party solutions including K3|Pebblestone (fashion ERP on BC, 11,500 users across 40 countries) and idyn (ShipIT and ConnectIT integrations).
NavExperts monetizes primarily through professional services (ERP implementation, migration, and consulting) and Microsoft Dynamics licensing resale, with recurring revenue from proprietary add-on module subscriptions and managed support contracts. The firm operates on a sales-led direct consulting model with free initial consultations and no intermediary resellers, distributing solely through in-house consultants from its Baarn headquarters. Reported scale is approximately 40 employees serving 40 active customers across 36 completed projects, with no external venture or private equity investment disclosed and revenue not publicly reported.

Broad incumbents
- Cegeka: Cegeka is a large Benelux-headquartered IT services provider that offers Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central implementations alongside infrastructure, cloud, and managed services. It is a broad incumbent competing for the same mid-market BC deals, but as part of a wider portfolio.
- Aptean: Aptean is a US-listed vertical ERP vendor that owns fashion and retail ERP suites (including the former BlueCherry product). It competes with NavExperts in serving fashion customers, but as a broader product company rather than a Microsoft Dynamics implementation partner.
- BDO Digital: BDO Digital is the technology consulting arm of global accounting network BDO, with an active Microsoft Dynamics 365 BC practice. It competes with NavExperts for mid-market ERP engagements as a broader professional-services incumbent.
Regional players
- Velosio: Velosio is a North American Microsoft Dynamics 365 partner offering BC, Finance & Supply Chain, and CRM implementations with industry add-ons. It is a comparable Dynamics partner in business model and customer profile, but focused on the US and Canada rather than Europe.
- JourneyTEAM: JourneyTEAM is a US-based Microsoft Dynamics 365 Gold partner that sells, implements, and supports BC, D365 Finance & Operations, and Power Platform. It is a regional peer in the same Microsoft Dynamics mid-market services market, but with a different geographic footprint.
- WSB Solutions: WSB Solutions is a German Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central partner that operates in the same business model — BC implementation, industry add-ons, and managed support — for the DACH market.
