Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central – Setup, Shopify & POS Integration

We are a Swiss jewelry and watch retailer operating two physical stores in Lausanne and Montreux, as well as an online Shopify store. We are looking for an experienced Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central freelancer, **preferably French-speaking**, to implement the first phase of our new ERP system and replace our current Diamond Seven software. ## Phase 1 – Project Scope - Set up Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (cloud). - Configure Swiss localization, including CHF, VAT and accounting requirements. - Configure our two store locations with centralized inventory management. - Set up approximately 4–6 users, including roles and permissions. - Integrate Shopify with synchronization of products, prices, inventory and online orders. - Implement a POS system for both physical stores, compatible with Swiss payment methods (cards, TWINT, etc.). - Configure purchasing, sales, inventory and customer management. - Enable stock transfers between stores. - Provide basic training, documentation and full administrator access. ## Important – POS Compatibility and Selection **Before starting the implementation, the freelancer must recommend a suitable POS solution and verify its compatibility with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Swiss payment systems and our future e-Jewelry 365 integration.** We want to avoid implementing a POS system that would later need to be replaced, resulting in unnecessary costs. The proposal must clearly identify: - The recommended POS software and its licensing costs. - Compatibility with Swiss payment terminals and TWINT. - Integration capabilities with Business Central and Shopify. - Compatibility with e-Jewelry 365, or any limitations requiring confirmation. - Any additional extensions, development or recurring fees. **No POS solution should be purchased or implemented without our prior approval.** ## Future Integrations – Phase 2 We plan to integrate: - **e-Jewelry 365:** specialized jewelry and watch management. - **TracTech Systems:** RFID inventory management, jewelry tagging and stock tracking. - Additional features such as jewelry repairs, warranties, consignments and gold purchasing. The initial ERP architecture must be designed to support these future integrations with minimal additional development. ## Freelancer Requirements - Proven experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. - Experience with Shopify and retail POS systems. - Knowledge of Swiss localization, VAT and payment solutions. - Ability to recommend existing solutions rather than unnecessary custom development. - **French-speaking freelancers are strongly preferred.** English-speaking candidates are also welcome. ## Please Include in Your Proposal 1. Your experience with similar Business Central projects. 2. Your recommended POS solution and reasons for choosing it. 3. Your proposed approach to Shopify integration. 4. A fixed-price quotation separating implementation, licenses, POS and recurring costs. 5. Estimated project timeline. 6. Potential compatibility issues with e-Jewelry 365 and TracTech. 7. Availability for future support and developments. ## Project Milestones **Milestone 1:** Business Central environment setup, Swiss configuration, Shopify integration and centralized inventory. **Milestone 2:** POS implementation for both stores, after validation and approval of the proposed POS solution. All Microsoft accounts, licenses, administrator rights and configurations must remain under our company's ownership and control. We are looking for a reliable long-term partner to implement a scalable and cost-effective solution. Best regards
