Introduction to the Business Central App
The Business Central (BC) App is an integration solution designed to seamlessly connect Business Central and Claimlane. By using Internal and Flow tags, this integration streamlines claims and returns processes while automating crucial business operations.
Handling after-sales processes often involves repetitive tasks like creating credit notes, return sales orders, or replacement orders. Performing these tasks manually can be time-consuming and prone to errors.
With a Return Management System like Claimlane, you can tailor the customer journey and user interface to specific needs, while automating outcomes directly with BC.

Business Central Implementation Process
For implementing the Claimlane BC app we recommend involving the BC partner and the expert user. The Standard Claimlane BC app requires only a few hours of technical work, and the implementation, including tests, can be completed in a couple of weeks.
Step 1: Alignment on Use Cases
Define the specific use cases for integrating Claimlane with BC, including the required data and workflows.
Your Claimlane contact will collaborate with you to map out a simple flow chart for alignment.
We recommend a mutual meeting between expert user and BC partner to ensure everyone is on the same page.
Step 2: Install the App
Your Claimlane contact will provide the necessary API keys and set up the Claimlane test environment.
Your BC partner will install the Claimlane BC app and connect it to the provided API keys.
Step 3: Configure and Set Up
Your Claimlane contact will ensure Claimlane is set up to match all your use case requirements.
The BC Partner will customize the app to match your business processes and requirements.
Step 4: Test the Integration
The expert user will thoroughly test the integration to ensure everything works as expected.
Your Claimlane contact will assist with the final setup in the production environment.
Note: The app is designed to work with standard BC setups. For businesses with unique configurations, custom adjustments can be made with consultant support.
