We exist to make Business Central
work for you.
Autotelic is a specialist Microsoft Business Central consultancy. We don't do everything — we do one thing exceptionally well.
Our story
Built by practitioners, for practitioners.
Autotelic was founded by consultants who spent years inside large ERP practices watching the same problems repeat: over-engineered solutions, missed deadlines, and clients left without support after go-live.
We set out to build something different — a small, senior team that stays close to every engagement, writes clean AL code, and treats every client's system as if it were our own.
Today we work with businesses across manufacturing, professional services, and distribution — helping them get more from Business Central without the overhead of a large consultancy.
What we stand for
Principles we don't compromise on.
Honesty first
We tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. If a customisation isn't the right answer, we'll say so.
Senior-led delivery
Every engagement is led by a senior consultant. No juniors learning on your project, no hand-offs to offshore teams.
Clean code, always
We write AL extensions to AppSource standards — upgrade-safe, well-documented, and maintainable by anyone.
Long-term thinking
We design solutions that grow with your business, not ones that create technical debt six months down the line.
Transparent pricing
Fixed-scope or time-and-materials — either way, you always know what you're paying for and why.
Genuine partnership
We stay involved after go-live. Your success is our reputation.
The team
Small team. Deep expertise.
We keep the team deliberately small so every client gets direct access to senior expertise — not account managers or project coordinators.
