AGR gives wholesale, retail and manufacturing businesses the forecasting and replenishment intelligence their ERP is missing. It connects to Dynamics 365 Business Central and Dynamics GP through standard connectors and goes live in weeks, not months. Organisations can then cut excess stock, reduce stockouts and move buyers off spreadsheets and onto automated, data-driven ordering.

What is AGR?


AGR is a cloud-based inventory management, demand forecasting and replenishment solution built for small and mid-market businesses. ERPs were designed to record transactions, not to optimise buying decisions. AGR adds that intelligence layer on top of Business Central.

Founded in 1998, AGR serves 400+ customers in 20 countries and has been a Microsoft Partner since 2011. It helps organisations to:

  • Reduce inventory by 10–30%, releasing working capital back into the business
  • Cut planning time by up to 80% by automating routine ordering
  • Reduce stockouts and protect service levels, even through seasonal peaks
  • See what's coming, not just what's on the shelf, with forward-looking stock projection

AGR is where Business Central and intelligent inventory planning come together.

What you get with AGR


Statistical demand forecasting
AGR automatically selects the best-fit forecasting model for every SKU and location. It handles seasonality, promotions, new products and intermittent demand without manual intervention.

Dynamic safety stock
Safety stock recalculates every order cycle based on demand variability, lead time uncertainty and your service level targets. You're never relying on a min/max value set years ago.

Automated order proposals
AGR builds order proposals from forecasted demand and accounts for MOQs, MOVs, order multiples, and container and truck fill. Buyers simply review and approve.

Forward-looking reporting and exception management
Dashboards show projected stockouts, excess build-up and service level forecasts. Exception reports highlight exactly which items need attention today, and Power BI dashboards track key inventory KPIs.

AI-generated forecasts for new items
New products and slow movers get a usable forecast from day one. AGR finds similar items in your catalogue and generates a forecast automatically.

Why implement AGR with Advantage


The right platform + the right partner

AGR is the platform. Advantage makes it work in the real world, connecting it properly to your Business Central or GP environment so your buying team actually adopts it.

With Advantage, you get:

  • An inventory and ERP review to identify where stock, lead time and min/max settings are costing you money
  • Joined-up implementation support alongside AGR's onboarding team
  • A clear roadmap for legacy ERP migration, including running AGR before, during and after a move from Dynamics GP to Business Central
  • Integration guidance across your Microsoft stack (Business Central, Power BI, Microsoft 365)
  • Ongoing support and optimisation as your range, suppliers and channels grow

Still on Dynamics GP or a legacy ERP? Get your inventory right first.


Most ERP migrations inherit years of out-of-date safety stock, drifting lead times and static min/max settings. Putting AGR live before you migrate cleans up those parameters, so Business Central starts on reliable data rather than inherited guesswork.

Planning also continues uninterrupted throughout the project. Moving from GP to Business Central becomes a connector change, and your history, forecasts and processes carry straight over. Because AGR typically releases 10–30% of inventory value, that freed-up working capital can fund a significant part of the migration itself.

After a year of using AGR, our availability went from 86% to 98%, and our inventory had even decreased by 2–3%.

AGR has helped us reduce our stock holding by 15% as well as saving us 50% resource requirements.
