Continia Sustainability

Easily track, manage, and report company carbon emissions with an end-to-end solution built within Business Central. Continia Sustainability streamlines carbon accounting by automatically collecting and converting your financial data into CO2 equivalents. This solution fully aligns with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, ensuring accurate tracking, reporting and effortless comparison of your company's carbon footprint. 

Continia Finance

Continia Finance extends Business Central to automate and streamline your advanced financial processes, enabling you to get a unified view of liquidity-related data, simplify group reconciliations, manage fixed assets, and enhance financial reporting. You can also provide flexible payment options and handle multi-level payment discounts. This solution adds valuable features missing from Business Central, reducing manual work and improving your financial control.

Continia Sustainability integration 
Gain insights into your company's carbon footprint by automatically tracking direct and indirect emissions data from employee spending. This integration ensures that all expense data is converted into CO2 equivalents upon registration, providing you with a clear overview of your carbon-intensive expenses and enabling you to report your emissions with Continia Sustainability. 

Streamlined purchase document processing 
Harness the power of Document Capture and Expense Management to process your purchase documents efficiently. Transfer your complex expenses, such as purchase invoices, to Document Capture for advanced processing and vendor posting, while Expense Management handles the reimbursements, automatically applying them to the invoice.

Automated distribution calendar  
Efficiently manage your outgoing statements with an automated distribution calendar. See when statements are sent, track upcoming schedules, and instantly view and validate configuration changes in the overview.  

Embed PDF in XML

Handled by DO 
Track documents accurately by only counting documents processed according to Output Profile. This prevents other solutions that send or print documents from interfering with the functionality of Document Output.
