BC partner

Why AutoFlow belongs in every Business Central project, and what that changes about your delivery times, your maintenance load and your quotes.

It isn't the big requirements that hold a project up. It's the many small ones

The big requirements are in the spec and have been costed. What weighs projects down is the rest: the field that should be checked on release. The notification to the office above a certain order value. The filename accounting wants done differently.

Each one is too small to quote for properly and too concrete to turn down. So a PTE appears. At the next update it comes back to you, not to the customer.

You pay for the small stuff three times: building it, maintaining it, and quoting the next one

The work you can't bill for

A requirement that costs a day to develop cannot be quoted as a day rate. No customer expects a four-figure line item for “check a field”. So it gets absorbed, out of goodwill or habit. Across a project that adds up to days nobody planned for.

A flow in AutoFlow: when a sales document is released the lines are looped over, and a notification goes out for a subscription item with no subscription lines.

The maintenance that stays with you

Every extension in a customer's tenant is an object that wants attention at each release. It is rarely documented, often built by someone no longer on the project, and it surfaces exactly when an update is due and nobody has time. A flow sits in the customer organisation as configuration instead, and you reach every one of them from your partner access.

The organisation switcher in the AutoFlow portal: the managed customers Nordwind Logistik, Redwood Supply and Thames Trading are listed under partner access.

The projects that run longer than planned

The small stuff does not arrive at the start; it arrives shortly before go-live, when the business finally uses the system for real. That is exactly when a development loop costs the most: it moves a date everybody already has in their calendar.

The step picker in the AutoFlow editor: categories such as Control and Data, holding steps like Decision, For Each Loop and Create Collection.

Set AutoFlow up before the first small request arrives, not once it already has

The suggestion is not to sell AutoFlow the moment a customer asks. It is to set it up in every project, as routinely as email setup or number series.

Getting started costs the customer nothing: two active flows stay free forever and the sandbox has no limits. What you bring is the setup, and knowing when a flow is the right answer.

Where partners typically start

None of these takes more than an afternoon. Three are ready-made in the template gallery.

A notice when a field hits a certain value

When someone sets a field to a given value the notice appears in the page itself, in that moment and not as an email afterwards.

Block a release when something is missing

The document is checked before release and stopped with a message a human can act on. The classic: no release with a line that has no quantity.

Require a field before posting

The same idea one stage later: no posting while “Your Reference” is empty. Ready-made in the gallery.

Tell the right person when a record appears

Sounds trivial, but it replaces the “let me know when …” arrangement that nobody keeps up for long.

Define report filenames

Invoice.pdf becomes the document number with customer and date. Two steps, and accounting stops asking.

A daily digest of failed runs

A scheduled flow summarises once a day what did not complete. The flow that calls you before the customer does.

What the BC partner programme includes

A margin as a reseller, a commission as a referrer

If the customer buys AutoFlow through you, you buy on partner terms and keep the margin. If they buy from us directly because you brought AutoFlow into the project, you register a commission on it. Joining the programme costs nothing.

Visibility that brings enquiries

Resellers appear as an option at checkout. Partners go into the public partner list, and certified consultants are passed on as recommended automation experts. Out of a project worth telling, we write a case study together.

Training and certification

Partner training and certification are free for your team, new colleagues included.

One fixed contact

One person on our side who knows your projects. No ticket form.

Partner support with a contingent

Every partner level comes with a fixed support contingent for the cases that go deeper.

And connect your own products to the platform

Receive, Dispatch and Praxedo Connect came about this way. If you have your own app or an industry solution, we make its functions available in AutoFlow as triggers and as steps. Your customers then build them into their own processes, and you build no second interface for it. That is its own conversation, with roadmap alignment and technical support.

How you get started

  1. A conversation

    We look at which customers you serve and where the small stuff piles up for you.

  2. Agreement

    Terms go in writing. No minimum revenue, no purchase commitment.

  3. Enablement

    Your team goes through the partner training, working on one of your own customer cases instead of on slides. Certification comes at the end.

  4. First project

    We sit in on the first flow at a customer. After that you run solo.

Joining the programme is free, and so are training and certification. Margins, commission rates and support contingents we go through in conversation, as they depend on the path and the partner level.

Questions we get asked

Do I have to sell AutoFlow to every customer?

No, and that is not the point. The point is having the option: with AutoFlow set up, you can answer the next small request with a flow instead of deferring it. Two active flows are free forever. Getting started costs the customer nothing.

What about requirements AutoFlow does not cover?

You still build those as an extension. AutoFlow does not replace AL development. It takes away the cases development is too heavy for.

Who owns the customer relationship?

You do. We only appear when you bring us in.

How much training does my team need?

Anyone who knows Business Central builds their first useful flow the same day. The time does not go into the editor, it goes into the question before it: which process is worth automating, and what has to be right in the master data first.

Can we connect our own app to AutoFlow?

Yes, that is how Receive, Dispatch and Praxedo Connect came about. Your functions become triggers and steps that your customers use in their flows. That is its own conversation, with roadmap alignment and technical support.

What do we earn from AutoFlow?

Joining costs nothing, and neither do training and certification. If you sell the licences yourself, you buy on partner terms and keep the margin. If the customer buys from us directly because you brought AutoFlow into the project, you register a commission, which is smaller than the margin. We go through the rates in conversation, as they depend on the partner level.

Let's talk about your customers

One conversation is usually enough to see which path fits. No sales process, no pitch.
