OpsGrid · Decision infrastructure · BC · Active Beta

Your Business Central data is current. Your ops decisions are 2 days late.

The data exists. The reports run. The people are there.

The gap is execution — decisions that take 48 hours when the system already knew the answer Monday morning.

Signal Route Approve Execute Audit

Copilot answers questions. OpsGrid decides and acts.

Decision latency costs $800K–$2.4M per year for a $50M operation — missed OTIF, emergency freight, excess inventory, manual coordination. OpsGrid closes it. What's your number? →

Modelled from: OTIF penalties (1–3% revenue), emergency freight (3–5× standard rate), excess inventory carrying cost, and manual coordination overhead. Baseline: $50M annual revenue, 2–3 day average operational decision cycle. Source: live Business Central deployments, 2023–2025.

OpsGrid is decision infrastructure for mid-market manufacturers, distributors, and logistics operators on Dynamics 365 Business Central. Governed decision agents monitor ERP signals continuously, surface ranked operational risks to named owners, and execute approved actions inside Microsoft Teams. Nothing posts to Business Central without explicit approval — an architectural constraint, not a policy setting.

From one active OpsGrid beta deployment · Dynamics 365 Business Central · mid-market manufacturer · baseline captured at project start, outcomes at 30 and 90 days.

Revenue at Risk

OpsGrid surfaces stockout risk before inventory goes negative. Named items, revenue exposed, decision owner assigned.

Frozen Cash

Dead stock carries a cost most teams never see. OpsGrid identifies slow-moving inventory and flags it to the right owner.

Supplier Risk

OpsGrid scores vendor reliability from live BC data. Poor performance triggers escalation before your operations suffer.

"We were spending two to three days chasing down decisions that should have been made in the morning. The first week on OpsGrid, three of those decisions arrived in Teams before I had my coffee."
VP Operations, mid-market distributor (US)  ·  Beta participant
Research

76% of organisations that embed AI into a formal decision governance model report 25%+ operational improvement — Hackett Group, 2026 Supply Chain Key Issues Study. OpsGrid is that governance model for Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Analyst

"Not every AI system should be allowed to operate near physical or financial consequence. The closer AI gets to execution, the greater the need for context, governance, and human oversight." — ARC Advisory Group, Supply Chain Decision Intelligence, 2026. OpsGrid's approval-before-write architecture was built for exactly this constraint.

Why most AI deployments don't scale

Beyond the Pilot: Why OpsGrid Is Designed Differently

Most AI initiatives fail because they begin as experiments.

OpsGrid enters as production infrastructure: named decision owners, approval gates, audit trails. Not a pilot. Not a proof-of-concept. Inventory risk, dead stock, overdue POs, supplier follow-up — production-grade operational signals from day one.

83% of operations teams running AI pilots find that insights surface but decisions still happen in meetings and email. The problem is governance: no named decision owner, no trigger, no approval trail, no audit. OpsGrid is the governance layer — every ranked decision has an owner, every approval has an audit trail, every recommendation is grounded in live Business Central data. That is why OpsGrid is production infrastructure, not another pilot.

Decision ownership
Every signal is assigned to a named decision owner with a response SLA — no ambiguity about who acts.
Governed approval
Nothing writes to Business Central without explicit human approval. An architectural constraint, not a policy setting.
Full audit trail
Every decision, every override, every approval is logged. You have a defensible record of how your operation was run.

OpsGrid brings that to Dynamics 365 Business Central as a productized platform with proactive monitoring and Teams-native approval flows.

Management view · OpsGrid

The weekly ops review your team doesn't have to build.

Teams handles real-time decisions. This view gives your ops reviewer everything else: what was surfaced, who acted, what resolved, and what still needs follow-up. Built from live BC data. No export, no pivot table, no meeting to prepare for it.

OpsGrid Management View showing decision funnel, signal health by type, action paths, follow-up queue, pending decisions, and recently resolved
Decision funnel
Surfaced to Sent to Teams to Acted on to Resolved. Drop-off at each stage shows where the process breaks. Not a tool problem — an operational one your ops reviewer can now see and fix.
Signal health by type
One row per active signal: cards sent, approved, rejected, avg response time. A high rejection rate on a signal means the threshold fires on false positives. This view makes threshold tuning visible.
Full audit trail
Every resolved decision has a path: full agent loop, human override, or expired. Every BC write logged with approver. A defensible record of how your operation was run, not assembled after the fact.
Why Business Central

You spent millions on Business Central. Make it actually run the business.

BC is the system of record for thousands of mid-market manufacturers, distributors, and operators. The data is there. The reports exist. Operational decisions still happen in spreadsheets, email threads, and the weekly ops call, because the cost of pulling the right view, framing the right question, and getting a decision in front of the right person is still measured in days, not hours.

OpsGrid eliminates that cost. It transforms Business Central from a system of record into a system of action — purpose-built for the BC schema, the BC permission model, and the workflows BC implementers already understand. The first decision infrastructure platform engineered specifically for Dynamics 365 Business Central.

About OpsGrid
01 · What it is

OpsGrid is a decision infrastructure layer for Dynamics 365 Business Central, currently in active beta with a focused group of mid-market manufacturers, distributors, and logistics operators. Decision infrastructure starts with Business Central. The architecture supports any ERP.

02 · What it does

OpsGrid monitors Business Central for operational signals — stockout risk, overdue purchase orders, production delays — and surfaces ranked recommendations into Microsoft Teams as actionable cards. Human approval required before any write to BC.

03 · Who it's for

Designed for manufacturers, distributors, and logistics operators on Dynamics 365 Business Central — typically 100–2,000 employees, with a dedicated operations function.

Common objection

Why not build this with Power Platform?

It comes up in almost every evaluation. Here is the honest answer.

Power Platform route
  • 6–18 months to build and test equivalent logic
  • Per-user licensing adds up fast at scale
  • Internal IT owns the maintenance burden
  • Decision ownership and audit trail require custom builds
  • No operational signal library — you define every threshold
OpsGrid route
  • Live in 3 weeks against your BC environment
  • No per-seat fees — one implementation fee, one monthly access fee
  • We maintain the platform; you maintain the decision rules
  • Decision ownership and audit trail built into the architecture
  • BC-specific signal library: inventory, purchasing, production, sales

Power Platform is the right answer if you have a dedicated Power Apps team, internal maintenance capacity, and 12+ months before you need ROI. OpsGrid is the right answer if you need the outcome now.

Microsoft BC Wave 1 2026

BC shipped native agents. OpsGrid is the governance layer across them.

Microsoft's Wave 1 2026 shipped task-specific agents for Business Central: Payables Agent handles invoice matching, Sales Order Agent handles order entry. These are single-task tools. They don't monitor production signals. They don't route across signal types. No governance layer. No audit trail for who decided what.

OpsGrid operates across the operational signals that cross decision owners: production at risk, stockout before a run, credit holds, delivery exceptions, cost variance. It assigns each signal to a named owner with a response SLA, captures the decision in Teams, writes the approved action to BC, and logs the complete trail.

The native agents automate task execution. OpsGrid governs how decisions get made across them. They're complementary — automation without governance gives you speed without accountability.

Operational continuity

The ops lead is out. The factory still knows what to do.

Most manufacturing operations run on one person's institutional knowledge. Which supplier was blocked and why. What the Thursday escalation path means. Who to call when BC shows a cost variance that doesn't match what actually happened on the floor. When that person is out — on leave, sick, or departed — the knowledge gap is immediate.

OpsGrid's decision log isn't a compliance artifact. Every signal, routing, approval, override, and outcome is recorded — who saw it, who decided, what they chose, what executed in BC. That record is institutional memory your operation owns permanently. It assembles itself in the course of normal operations.

New ops hire
Full decision context from day one. What took months of shadowing now takes days — the record is already there.
Regulatory audit
Every decision traceable to a named owner, a timestamp, and an outcome. No post-hoc reconstruction from email threads.
No single point of failure
Operational knowledge isn't locked in one person's head. The record stays when people move on.

Common questions

What teams ask before applying for beta access.

What is OpsGrid?
OpsGrid is decision infrastructure for Dynamics 365 Business Central, currently in active beta. Governed decision agents monitor Business Central continuously for operational signals: stockout risk, overdue purchase orders, production delays, budget breaches. Each signal is ranked by cost impact and surfaced as an actionable card in Microsoft Teams. Nothing writes to BC without explicit human approval.
How does OpsGrid differ from Dynamics 365 Copilot?
Copilot answers questions when you ask them. OpsGrid monitors proactively, assigns recommendations to named decision owners with response SLAs, routes approvals through Teams, and maintains a full audit trail of every decision and override. Copilot is reactive Q&A. OpsGrid is decision infrastructure: it surfaces, routes, executes, and logs.
Does OpsGrid write to Business Central automatically?
No. Nothing posts to Business Central without explicit approval from a named decision owner in Teams. An architectural constraint, not a policy setting. $0 in unauthorized BC writes is baked into the architecture.
What size company is OpsGrid right for?
Mid-market manufacturers, distributors, and logistics operators on Dynamics 365 Business Central. The operational footprint that works best: 100 to 2,000 employees with a dedicated operations function. Below 100 employees, signal volume may not justify the deployment. Above 2,000, we scope differently.
How long does deployment take, and when do we see ROI?
Three weeks. Week 1: BC connection established, decision types configured, permission scope agreed. Week 2: Teams webhook live, approval routing configured. Week 3: Go-live walkthrough with your team, first live signals reviewed, routing adjustments complete. By day 21 your team is running on it. Measurable ROI within 60 days of go-live or we refund 50% of the implementation cost.
Does our Business Central data leave our environment?
Two separate questions. Storage: OpsGrid reads from Business Central at query time using a service account your admin configures. Nothing is copied to an external data store. LLM processing: when OpsGrid generates a recommendation or answer, it sends the relevant BC data chunks to an LLM. If you use an external LLM API (OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, via API keys you provide), the provider processes those chunks on their servers. Standard API terms bar providers from retaining or training on your data. If on-premises inference is a hard requirement, OpsGrid supports self-hosted LLMs: data stays entirely within your environment.
How do I get access to OpsGrid?
OpsGrid is in active beta with a focused group of mid-market BC operators. Access begins with a free Decision Latency Audit: we map where your BC data is getting stuck and quantify the cost. Apply at intelliconnectq.com/opsgrid or contact us at intelliconnectq.com/opsgrid/#apply. The onboarding starts with that audit — no commitment until you see the number.
