Panama
The ERP for companies that run the region from Panama
Panama concentrates regional headquarters, logistics operators and free-zone companies that buy and sell across several countries. We implement Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central to consolidate companies, control in-transit inventory and comply with the DGI, adapted to the country’s tax requirements with BETABOX’s guidance.
How we serve you
Remote delivery with local support, backed by our headquarters in Miami, Florida.
- Remote delivery, on your schedule
- We work with companies in Panama remotely, with meetings, workshops and training in your time zone and in Spanish or English. The engagement does not depend on travel or a local office.
- Backed by our Miami, Florida headquarters
- Our headquarters at 444 Brickell Avenue, Miami, concentrates project leadership and the relationship with Microsoft. From there we coordinate the regional network of consultants that serves each country.
- Local support in Spanish and English
- Support is delivered over WhatsApp and email by the same consultants who took part in your implementation. No intermediaries and no generic call centers.
Tax and regulatory requirements your ERP must cover
Panama’s tax system is simpler than that of other countries in the region, but e-invoicing and special regimes require precise recording from the source.
Tax authority: Dirección General de Ingresos (DGI)
- Electronic invoicing (SFEP)
- Panama’s electronic invoicing system with authorized certification providers, credit and debit notes, and auxiliary receipts.
- ITBMS and withholding
- Tax on the transfer of goods and services by product type, with vendor withholding and withholding agents according to regime.
- Free zones and special regimes
- Operations in the Colón Free Zone, Panamá Pacífico and multinational headquarters regimes, with inventory and invoicing separated by regime.
- Dollar operations and multi-company
- A dollarized economy with subsidiaries in other countries of the region: consolidation in dollars and local books in each company.
The topics above describe common obligations in the country’s regulatory environment and may change. During the assessment we review with you and your tax advisor which ones apply to your company and how they are covered within the project scope.
Why Dynamics 365 Business Central fits your market
Business Central adapts to your country’s tax requirements with BETABOX’s guidance, and brings capabilities that matter especially to companies in the region.
- Multi-currency and multi-company
- Record transactions in local currency and US dollars, value inventory and accounts in the currency you need, and consolidate several companies or sites into a single report.
- Dimensions for local reporting
- Classify every entry by cost center, branch, business line or project, and produce the reports local administration requires without parallel spreadsheets.
- Interface and Copilot in Spanish and English
- Business Central is available in both languages, and Copilot answers in your language about your own data: queries, summaries and suggestions without leaving the system.
- Bank integration and traceability
- Assisted bank reconciliation, statement import and full traceability of every entry for internal and external audits.
- Extensible without breaking the standard
- Country and company specifics are handled with extensions that coexist with Microsoft continuous updates, rather than customizations that block the system from evolving.
- Microsoft cloud with continuous updates
- No servers of your own and no expiring versions: Business Central updates continuously, with the security and availability of the Microsoft cloud.

Industries we work with in the country
Logistics and foreign trade operators, regional distributors with free-zone inventory, financial and professional services firms, and multi-store retail.
Logistics and transportation
You move the freight, but you do not know what moving it costs
Orders arrive by email, by phone, and on customer spreadsheets, and someone retypes them. Every retype is a chance to get the address, the quantity, or the service terms wrong.
See the industryDistribution
Selling more means nothing if you do not know which deal leaves margin
Replenishment is decided on instinct or on the last conversation with the supplier. Excess inventory that ties up cash coexists with stockouts on the products that do move, with no minimums policy and no lead times by supplier.
See the industryProfessional services
Your inventory is your people’s hours, and today you do not know what they are worth
The proposal is built in one document, the contract in another, and the project is opened in the system with a structure different from the one that was quoted. Comparing what was sold against what was delivered means redoing the work by hand.
See the industryRetail
Your customer sees one brand; your operation sees one store at a time
Every location manages its stock as if it were a separate company. There is no consolidated view, so you reorder from the supplier what is sitting unsold in the store next door.

We publish case studies only with written authorization from each client. Cases from this country are pending authorization; in the meantime, we can share references from your sector during the assessment.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Can I run the regional headquarters in Panama and the subsidiaries in the same system?
- Yes. Business Central supports several companies in one environment, each with its own currency and local obligations, consolidated into the Panamanian headquarters with intercompany eliminations. It is the usual scenario for regional headquarters in Panama.
- How is DGI e-invoicing handled?
- Business Central adapts to Panama’s tax requirements, including electronic invoicing, with BETABOX’s guidance. During the assessment we review with you and your accountant which receipts your company issues and how they are covered in the scope.
- Do you serve companies in Panama without a local office?
- Yes. We work remotely with companies in Panama, in your time zone and in Spanish or English, backed by our headquarters in Miami, Florida, and a regional network of consultants. Implementation, training and support are delivered through video calls, online workshops and direct support channels.
- How long does a Business Central implementation take?
- It depends on the scope, the number of companies and the quality of the data being migrated. We do not publish generic timelines: the complimentary assessment delivers a phased schedule with stated assumptions and agreed success criteria.
- How does support work after go-live?
- With 24/7 support and under 1 hour response time, over WhatsApp and email, handled by consultants who know your implementation. Every case is logged with a priority and followed through to closure.
- Can I work in local currency and US dollars at the same time?
- Yes. Business Central records transactions in multiple currencies, keeps historical exchange rates and reports in local currency and US dollars, with balance revaluation when regulation or management requires it.
- Do you publish prices?
- No. Every project is quoted according to its scope: number of users, companies, processes, integrations and data to migrate. The initial assessment is 100% complimentary and ends with a written proposal with scope and price.
