Enterprise application management on Microsoft's stack
The honest answer first: BSimple has no Microsoft integrations — no Dynamics 365 connector, no Azure story — and this page will not invent one. What Microsoft's enterprise stack genuinely offers, who it serves, and where BSimple fits beside or instead of it.
The key facts
- Microsoft's enterprise stack: Dynamics 365 (ERP/CRM applications), Azure (cloud infrastructure), Microsoft 365 (productivity) — a real enterprise ecosystem with real implementation weight.
- The fabricated-claim alert: several pages on this topic — including this one, historically — have claimed BSimple integrates with Dynamics 365 and Azure. It does not, and this page corrects that plainly.
- What BSimple claims instead: browser-based cloud software, accounting handoff to Xero or MYOB, Shopify order import, and a public REST API with MCP access.
- Who each stack serves: Microsoft's stack suits organisations already standardised on it; BSimple serves the wholesale-operations stage without the programme.
- Context: the full inventory system holds the wider system, this page one stop in it.

What Microsoft's enterprise stack actually is
Dynamics 365 is Microsoft's ERP and CRM application family — finance, supply chain, sales and service modules that are licensed, configured and implemented, usually through partners. Azure is the infrastructure layer the applications can run on. Microsoft 365 is the productivity ring around them — Outlook, Teams, Excel — and the reason the ecosystem is sticky: an organisation standardised on Microsoft identity and tools finds genuine convenience in keeping its applications inside the same estate.
The honest assessment mirrors the broader enterprise-software question: real capability, real cost — licensing plus configuration plus administration — and a strong case where the organisation is already Microsoft-standardised. For a wholesale or distribution SMB without that estate, buying Dynamics to solve an inventory problem is the aspiration tax again.
The correction this page owes
This page previously claimed BSimple integrates "seamlessly" with Dynamics 365 and Azure. That was false — invented marketing of exactly the kind this site criticises elsewhere. The verified facts: BSimple's accounting handoffs are Xero and MYOB (US integrations rolling out); its storefront surface is Shopify order import; its integration surface is a public REST API with scoped keys and an MCP endpoint for AI assistants; it is browser-based and runs in any modern browser, including Edge, on any operating system. No Microsoft product integration is claimed, and none should be assumed from anything on this site.
If your operation runs Dynamics 365 and needs an operations layer beside it, evaluate the seam the same way as any other: one order followed end to end, manual steps counted, accountability named.
Where BSimple actually fits
BSimple occupies the wholesale-operations slot in the enterprise application list: live multi-location inventory, batches and traceability, purchasing with variance flags, customer ordering portals, recipes and production, invoicing to the accounting system — from $180/month AUD with the full-product trial. It deliberately does not attempt the ERP subjects, Microsoft or otherwise: no HR, payroll or MRP scheduling, and no cloud-platform story beyond running reliably in a browser.
For businesses weighing Microsoft's stack against a focused operations tool, the decision test from the operations-tools comparison applies: run one real order through each candidate, including the failure paths. The stack that is already paid for and the tool that fits the stage are different answers to different situations — and both deserve better than invented integration claims.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does BSimple integrate with Dynamics 365 or Azure?
No. This page once claimed otherwise and that claim was false — corrected here plainly. BSimple's verified integrations are Xero, MYOB and Shopify order import, plus a public REST API and MCP endpoint for custom work.
What is enterprise application management with Microsoft?
Managing an organisation's applications within Microsoft's ecosystem: Dynamics 365 for ERP/CRM workloads, Azure for infrastructure, Microsoft 365 for productivity. It suits organisations already standardised on Microsoft identity and tooling.
Is Dynamics 365 right for a small wholesaler?
Usually not as a first system — its licensing and configuration weight is enterprise-shaped. A focused operations system covers the stock, order and purchasing record first; the ERP conversation waits for genuine multi-entity complexity.
What does BSimple cost?
$180/$250/$399 AUD monthly, every operational feature in the core plans. The trial is the full product — no feature caps — which is the honest way to compare it against any stack you already run.
How do I connect BSimple to a system you do not integrate with?
Through the public REST API — scoped keys and read projections for reorder levels, stocktakes, purchase orders, suppliers and locations — or the MCP endpoint for AI-assistant access. Build the bridge rather than trust a claim.
