Important note: The video shows the integration of HubSpot with SAP C4C. Of course, connecting to Dynamics 365 Business Central with Dun & Bradstreet and many other systems is also possible.
Dynamics 365 Business Central is the ERP system for mid-sized companies that need Finance, Purchasing, Sales, and Inventory in one place. The successor to Dynamics NAV runs in the cloud or on-premises and is deeply embedded in the Microsoft ecosystem.
The Dynamics 365 Business Central Dun & Bradstreet Integration keeps master data automatically up to date, validates business partners before creation, and enriches Customers and Vendors with compliance data, financial assessments, and corporate structures. This ensures a consistent data foundation across Finance, Purchasing, and Sales.
These scenarios demonstrate the strength of this integration.
Create new Customers and Vendors with validated data. When entering a new business partner, the system automatically searches D&B, suggests matches, and imports standardized address and company data. This creates complete, accurate records from the start.
Enrich and cleanse existing data. Existing Customers and Vendors are linked with the DUNS Number, missing fields are populated, and duplicates are identified. This creates order without manual effort.
Risk assessment before credit approval. Before approving purchase orders or sales orders, Financial Risk Assessments from D&B are retrieved. This allows accounting to identify default risks early and manage credit limits strategically.
Automated compliance requirements. For UBO checks, Sanctions Screening, and ESG reporting, D&B delivers the necessary data directly into the ERP. This significantly simplifies adherence to AML and KYC requirements.
Monitoring for existing business relationships. Once a business partner is linked with the DUNS, they are included in D&B Monitoring. Changes (insolvency, name changes, new management) trigger automatic notifications.
New customer prospecting via Criteria Search. The sales department defines criteria such as industry, size, and region, receives matching companies from D&B, and creates them directly as potential Customers in Business Central. This noticeably accelerates acquisition.
The use cases on this page are not theoretical, but implementing them requires experience. You can set up integration and data management yourself through MARINI’s no-code interface, or have our team configure it for you. For implementation in your systems, we work collaboratively with you and your service providers. If you don’t yet have a suitable service provider, we’re happy to recommend an appropriate partner from our network.

Well-founded credit decisions without delay. With Financial Risk Assessments from D&B directly in the ERP, you make credit decisions faster and with fewer defaults. This protects liquidity and reduces accounts receivable risk.
Fulfill compliance before it becomes expensive. AML and KYC requirements are no longer nice-to-have for internationally operating companies. D&B delivers UBO data and Sanctions Screening automatically into the ERP, so you minimize legal risks and face audits with confidence.
Less time for data maintenance, more time for growth. Your teams spend less time on research, correction, and duplicate elimination. Instead, they work with current, validated data that helps them make better decisions.
For: Marketing, Sales, Customer Success, Operations
Create new business partners faster. Before: Manually research name and address, type it in, hope everything is correct. Now: Start D&B search, select match, create record. Saves time and avoids errors.
Set credit limits with real data. Accounting sees at a glance how creditworthy a customer is. No more gut feelings, no endless follow-up questions. This accelerates order approval and reduces default risk.
Identify potential customers strategically. Sales uses Criteria Search to find companies by industry, size, and region. Matches are directly imported as contacts into the ERP. This makes new customer acquisition more systematic.
Monitoring for critical business partners. Once a customer or supplier is included in D&B Monitoring, there are alerts for important changes. This allows you to react proactively before a payment default or supply shortage occurs.
For: IT, Development, System Architects, Admins
Integration via Direct+ API.
D&B offers a public Direct+ API that is connected via REST. Business Central natively supports OData v4 REST APIs, so the integration runs technically clean. MARINI handles mapping, field rules, and error handling.
On-Premises and Cloud equally. Business Central exists as SaaS and On-Prem. MARINI can connect both variants; hybrid scenarios are also possible. The data remains in the controlled data center (ISO 27001, EU hosting).
Bidirectional data flows and monitoring. New records in Business Central can be automatically matched with D&B (Type-Ahead Search, Identity Resolution). Changes in the D&B Data Cloud are pushed via webhook and update ERP data in real-time.
Conflict handling and validation. When D&B data differs from ERP data (e.g., address changed), a configurable conflict resolution kicks in: Overwrite, ignore, or manual review. This prevents data chaos and maintains data sovereignty.
Business-critical data deserves maximum reliability. At MARINI, security isn’t an add-on—it’s our lived standard. Our security architecture at a glance:
This keeps your central data infrastructure stable, protected, and scalable at all times. Together, we’ll find the right integration and tailor it precisely to your requirements.
All D&B Data Blocks are available through MARINI: Master Data, Sales & Marketing Intelligence, Compliance, Financial Risk Assessment, and Company Financials. An overview is available on the MARINI Data Marketplace. You select the blocks relevant to your business.
Once a company is linked with the DUNS, it can be added to D&B Monitoring. Updates are automatically pushed and available in real-time. You receive alerts for important changes such as insolvencies, name changes, or new management.
Yes, MARINI supports both the cloud version and on-premises installations of Business Central. Hybrid scenarios are also possible. The data remains under your control and is synchronized via secure connections.

Criteria Search allows identification of potential new customers by criteria such as industry, size, address, and radius. Ideal for targeted sales campaigns. Matches are directly imported as contacts or Customers into Business Central, significantly accelerating acquisition.
MARINI offers configurable conflict resolution strategies: Automatic overwrite, ignore, or manual review. This maintains data sovereignty and prevents important information from being unintentionally overwritten. Logs and monitoring show all changes transparently.
