Business Central & b2wise – A New Vision
Most ERP systems, including Business Central, still rely on forecast-driven MRP models, an approach conceived over 60 years ago. While innovative in their time, these models are no longer relevant for today’s volatile and fast-moving supply chains. To compensate, they’ve become overly complex and data-hungry, pushing planners back to Excel and making companies dependent on a few experts.
The result? Inconsistent decisions, excess stock, poor service, and daily firefighting. b2wise offers a better way: Demand Driven MRP (DDMRP)—a modern approach that simplifies planning and delivers results, fast.

What is Demand Driven MRP?
Demand Driven MRP (DDMRP) is a modern, pull-based planning method designed specifically for today’s unpredictable, high-variability environments. It blends principles from MRP, LEAN, TOC, and Six Sigma into a clear, flow-focused model that helps planners position, protect, and pull inventory—without the noise and rigidity of traditional systems.
Now offered as standard by SAP and Microsoft D365 F&O, DDMRP is quickly becoming the new global planning standard, with over 18,000 people trained and more than 2,500 companies live.

Simple, Secure Business Central Integration
For Business Central users, accessing DDMRP through b2wise is seamless. Our standard BC connector uses pre-configured extensions to automatically extract the required data daily and then feed the generated orders back into Business Central once the DDMRP logic has been run and applied in b2wise. A seamless clean automated two-way flow that brings demand-driven planning to life inside your existing ERP.
