faveo 365 is the cloud-based ERP product of faveo GmbH (Essen) and is built entirely on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. The solution is tailored to multichannel retailers and ties order processing, purchasing, inventory, accounting and reporting tightly to common webshop and marketplace systems. Buyers looking for a modern cloud ERP with German-language consulting, the Microsoft platform underneath and explicit e-commerce orientation should evaluate faveo 365 as a serious candidate alongside the international cloud-ERP platforms. As a vertical accelerator on top of Business Central, faveo 365 reduces the customisation effort typical of multichannel deployments on a generic mid-market ERP.
Functional scope
faveo 365 inherits the full Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central scope — financials, sales, purchasing, inventory, warehouse, manufacturing-light and project — and adds e-commerce-specific extensions on top: connectors to common shop systems (Shopware, Shopify, OXID, Magento, WooCommerce), marketplaces (Amazon, eBay, OTTO, Kaufland), payment service providers, shipping carriers (DHL, DPD, UPS) and return-management workflows. Multichannel-specific functions include order-routing rules across channels, channel-specific pricing, marketplace inventory synchronisation, bundle and kit handling, and partial shipments. The Business Central foundation means DATEV integration, ZUGFeRD and XRechnung e-invoicing, GoBD-compliant document handling and ELSTER for the German market are part of the standard.
Target audience and industries
The target audience is German-speaking multichannel retailers with 20 to roughly 500 users selling across own shops, marketplaces and (optionally) bricks-and-mortar branches. Typical industries are fashion, consumer electronics, sports and leisure articles, consumer goods and selected B2B niches with multichannel character. For pure single-shop D2C brands without marketplace presence the over-scoping versus pure shop-back-office tools should be considered; for mid-market manufacturers without e-commerce focus the standard Business Central or a manufacturing-specific BC vertical (e.g. KUMAVISION) is the more natural pick.
Technology and deployment
faveo 365 is delivered as cloud SaaS on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, with the option of partner-hosted private cloud or on-premise installation for customers with specific data-residency requirements. The Business Central foundation means quarterly updates from Microsoft, modern web UI and the Power Platform integration (Power BI for analytics, Power Automate for workflow). REST APIs and BC's native extension model let customers connect bespoke systems without breaking the upgrade path. Multi-language, multi-currency and multi-entity capabilities are inherited from Business Central. Country localisations for Germany, Austria, Switzerland and other DACH-adjacent markets are available through Microsoft and partner extensions.
Strengths and limitations
Strengths include the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central foundation with global vendor backing, the German consulting and partner support from a focused mid-sized house, the prebuilt e-commerce and marketplace connectors that materially reduce multichannel-deployment effort, and the inherited DACH compliance posture (DATEV, ZUGFeRD, XRechnung, GoBD). For multichannel retailers seeking a Microsoft-backed cloud ERP with German-language consulting and e-commerce specialisation, faveo 365 is a natural fit. Limitations sit in the dependency on the Business Central platform — organisations that prefer non-Microsoft stacks will not consider it — and in the modest visibility of faveo as a brand versus the larger Business Central vertical accelerators (KUMAVISION, Continia, Anveo, To-Increase).
Pricing and licensing
faveo 365 pricing combines Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central licensing (Essentials around 70 to 100 EUR per user per month, Premium around 100 to 130 EUR per user per month) with the faveo industry extension on top, plus implementation services. For a typical 50-user multichannel retailer, all-in five-year TCO lands in the mid-six-figure euro range, with Business Central licensing as the largest recurring cost and implementation services as the dominant one-time cost. Concrete commercial terms are agreed with faveo GmbH or a certified Microsoft Dynamics 365 partner.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is faveo 365 a standalone ERP or a Business Central extension?
faveo 365 is built entirely on top of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. It is a vertical accelerator with industry-specific configuration and connectors rather than an independent code base, so customers benefit from Microsoft's underlying platform development.
How does faveo 365 compare with Xentral or weclapp for e-commerce?
Xentral and weclapp are DACH cloud-native ERPs focused on e-commerce SMB; faveo 365 sits on top of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, which offers materially deeper financial-accounting and multi-entity capability. The trade-off is platform: Microsoft-backed cloud-ERP versus dedicated cloud-native SMB ERP. For larger multichannel retailers (50+ users, multi-entity) faveo 365 typically scales better; for SMB e-commerce (5-20 users) Xentral or weclapp are often the lighter fit.
Does faveo 365 support DACH e-invoicing?
Yes — the Business Central foundation delivers DATEV integration, ZUGFeRD and XRechnung e-invoicing, GoBD-compliant document handling and ELSTER for the German market as part of the standard.
Which marketplaces does faveo 365 integrate with?
Prebuilt connectors cover Amazon, eBay, OTTO Marketplace and Kaufland as the major DACH marketplaces, alongside Shopware, Shopify, OXID, Magento and WooCommerce for shop platforms.
