Why AppSource Apps, Not Custom Code
A decade ago, every UAE mid-market business that wanted "feature X" in their ERP commissioned a custom build. The result: bespoke code that ages badly through Business Central's six-monthly release waves. AppSource flipped the economics — Microsoft-certified extensions are upgrade-safe by design, security-reviewed, and deployable without raising a support ticket.

The Novasoft AppSource Portfolio
Built from real customer requests across UAE, KSA, and India implementations. Each app addresses one job, ships under a single SKU, and works inside the Business Central or LS Central tenant the customer already owns.
NOVAREQ — Purchase Requisitions for BC
A clean requisition-to-approval flow inside Business Central — line-item approval, multi-level workflows, mobile-friendly approver views.
NOVAPROD — Advanced Production
Production planning, BOM versioning, route-card tracking, and shop-floor data capture for BC manufacturers — without the cost of the Dynamics 365 SCM upgrade.
NOVATRADE — SEZ Trading for BC
SEZ-compliant trading add-on for UAE free-zone businesses (Jebel Ali, DAFZA, KIZAD) — handles customs codes, bonded warehouse postings, and intra-zone transfers.
LS Central — Deliverect Connector
Routes orders from Talabat, Careem, Deliveroo, Uber Eats, and 100+ aggregators into LS Central as native sales transactions.
LS Central — Urban Piper Connector
India-market F&B aggregator routing — Zomato, Swiggy, Magicpin into LS Central with menu sync and stock-aware quoting.
LS Central — Planet Tax Connector
Tourist VAT-refund processing at POS — Planet Payment integration tested in UAE airport and mall retail.
Buy small, deploy fast, replace later
The AppSource model lets a BC customer add a capability for one quarter, evaluate it against real volumes, and uninstall if it does not pay back. That is the opposite of a custom build, which the customer is stuck with through three Business Central release waves whether it earns its keep or not.
For UAE and KSA businesses still nervous about ERP extension projects, this is the lowest-risk way to add capability.
