BC365 Connector is a software solution that enables seamless integration between Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and third-party services. It is a powerful tool that can help businesses build a flexible and customizable ecosystem around Business Central. BC365 Connector is designed to operate with a single user license, which significantly reduces costs for multi-user access.

Examples of how BC365 Connector can be used:

• Building e-commerce solutions: such as online stores, web POS, self-service kiosks, and mobile applications. In such an implementation, BC365 Connector can retrieve the list of items directly from Business Central and display them on the e-commerce website. When a user places an order, it will be automatically updated in the Business Central database. Pioneer Landscape Centers is an example of a company that has successfully implemented BC365 Connector for their e-commerce needs.
• Integration with third-party services: such as payment providers, AWS, Google services, and external e-commerce solutions. By using BC365 Connector, it is possible to transfer data between Business Central and other services, making it easier to manage business operations. Grow West Cannabis is an example of a company that has integrated its product inventory with iHeart Jane platform.
• Optimize complex production processes: during the production process, it may be necessary to get data from Business Central on-the-fly and send it to the device used in production. With the help of BC365 Connector, such a system can be built to significantly optimize the production process. Tokyo Shushi Label Printing is an example of a company that has successfully optimized their production process with BC365 Connector.

From a technical standpoint, BC365 Connector is a Business Central extension and server application that uses a JSON API to communicate with Business Central. This API allows BC365 Connector to send and receive data in real-time, making it an efficient and reliable solution for businesses.
