Overview
Progressus Advanced Projects is a project accounting and professional-services-automation solution built as a native extension on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. It is sold and supported by Velosio, a Microsoft Solutions Partner, and targets project-based organizations -- consulting firms, architecture and engineering practices, software publishers, and technology service providers -- that bill on a time-and-materials or milestone basis and need to track project profitability from pipeline through completion.
The product is organized around four capability pillars: Financial Clarity & Control (real-time budget, billing, and cash-flow visibility, revenue recognition, faster book closing), Operational Success (resource matching, utilization tracking, billable-hour capture), Project Intelligence (real-time dashboards, self-service reporting, predictive risk identification), and AI-Driven Projects (Microsoft Copilot integration and Velosio Insights for natural-language analytics and forecasting). Because it runs inside Business Central rather than as a bolt-on system, project accounting shares the same general ledger and master data as core financials.
Progressus connects to the broader Microsoft stack -- Teams, Outlook, Power Automate, Power BI, Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement and Field Service, Microsoft Fabric, and Azure Synapse -- and is distributed through Microsoft AppSource. Velosio does not publish a trial version; prospective customers are directed to a guided Storylane demo or a live demo booking.
