Microsoft Dynamics 365 alternative
A Microsoft Dynamics 365 alternative for small businesses
With Dynamics 365, ERP (Business Central) and CRM (Dynamics 365 Sales) are separate products, each priced per user per month and usually set up by a Microsoft partner. Grovia puts CRM, invoicing, accounts, projects and HR in one product, at one price for the whole team.
Dynamics 365 in brief
Business Central is Microsoft's ERP for small and mid-sized companies — finance, sales, purchasing and inventory, with manufacturing and service management in the Premium plan. Dynamics 365 Sales is Microsoft's CRM. They work closely with Microsoft 365 and are usually implemented by a partner.
How Grovia is different
- CRM and ERP functions are one product, not two subscriptions.
- A flat price per team instead of a per-user price for each product.
- Self-service setup with a free trial, instead of a partner project.
- Field staff, support tickets, team chat and a client portal are included.

What Grovia does not do
So you don't buy the wrong tool:
- No stock, warehouse or manufacturing management (no MRP or bills of materials). Grovia is built for service businesses — agencies, consultants, CA and law firms, IT and field-service companies.
- GST returns are prepared and exported for filing; Grovia does not file them for you, and e-invoices are uploaded manually.
- It is a single cloud product, not a platform you customise with code or host on your own servers.
