About Tom Willingham

As a Strategic Advisor | Business Systems, I help organizations modernize and optimize their operations using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and industry specific ERP solutions.With more than 30 years in the enterprise software industry, I specialize in ERP strategy, solution architecture, and executive advisory services for food banks, manufacturing, and distribution organizations. My background includes solution selling, business process analysis, implementation leadership, and long term client success.I was among the first 20 professionals in the United States certified in what became Microsoft Dynamics NAV, the foundation of today’s Dynamics 365 Business Central platform. That early technical depth, combined with decades of deployment experience, allows me to guide organizations through upgrades, cloud transitions, vertical solution integration, and digital transformation initiatives with clarity and confidence.Today I work with leadership teams to:• Modernize legacy NAV environments to Business Central, cloud or on prem• Align ERP strategy with operational and financial goals• Implement industry solutions including warehouse management• Improve reporting, visibility, and process efficiency• Build scalable, future ready technology roadmapsI believe ERP should drive measurable business value, not just process transactions. My approach combines strategic vision with practical execution to ensure every engagement delivers lasting operational impact.Outside of work, I live in Birmingham, Alabama with my wife and our two children. I have a strong interest in wildlife conservation and habitat management and enjoy spending time outdoors. I am also passionate about archery and the precision involved in building custom arrows. In addition, I enjoy reloading rifle cartridges for precision long range shooting, where consistency, measurement discipline, and attention to detail are essential. These pursuits reflect the same focus and methodical approach I bring to my professional workIf you are evaluating an ERP upgrade or considering a move to Business Central, I would welcome the opportunity to connect.
