About Navige
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central consultant
Freelance Business Central consultant – Gé Baltessen
After working as a Navision consultant for 15 years at various companies, I started as a freelance Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (BC) consultant under the name Navige.Since then, I have supported companies in various sectors and roles in optimally deploying their ERP systems.
My first freelance assignment, for Nature’s Pride, was intended as a short 10-day job, but quickly grew into a 9-month project. This was just the beginning of a successful career as an independent consultant. Since then, I have carried out assignments at renowned companies and partners such as:
- SPG Pre-Series Tooling & Prototyping B.V.
- NLW-Groep N.V.
- Avec
- Mprise
- NAV Experts
- Aptean
- Kidskonnect

In addition to being a financial Business Central consultant, I also have extensive knowledge and experience of all other Microsoft Dynamics solutions. My expertise extends across all aspects of the system, allowing me to effectively help companies streamline their processes.

International experience
International Experience
My international experience in Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Dynamics 365 Business Central shows how I combine financial expertise with functional knowledge to make a global impact.
Prodware
When I started at Prodware in 2007, I was immediately given the opportunity to tackle an international implementation. As a financial consultant, I guided the rollout of Microsoft Dynamics NAV in the Netherlands and Hungary for a globally operating animal feed producer. This gave me valuable hands-on experience with the complexity of localization within international implementations.
In addition, I was an independent consultant for a pallet wholesaler, where I successfully supported a multi-country implementation of Dynamics 365 Business Central.
Mprise
In my role as an independent Dynamics NAV/Business Central consultant I worked for a client of Mprise listed on the American technology exchange Nasdaq. Here I combined my financial and technical knowledge in a dynamic and demanding environment.
Microsoft
In 2017, I provided training to Dynamics NAV partners in Poland, where I familiarized them with all modules of Dynamics NAV 2017. I did this on-site in Warsaw, which further broadened my international experience.
Current projects
Today I work as a Dynamics 365 Business Central consultant for an organization that develops and sells innovative veterinary diagnostic solutions in the Netherlands, Germany, England, South Africa and the United States.
In addition, I am active as a financial Microsoft Dynamics Business Central consultant at an internationally operating tire manufacturer.
With my extensive experience in financial processes and international projects, I am a valuable partner for organizations that want to deploy Microsoft Dynamics solutions worldwide.
Financial Consultant Business Central
Navige is also supporting companies in improving and optimising their financial processes within the context of a Dynamics NAV/Dynamics 365 Business Central environment. I am building on my long-year experience: from 1987 till 1998 I have been working as an assistant accountant and Exact consultant at a Dutch accountancy firm. At the moment, I am working as a financial consultant for various Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central partners and customers. From 1998 till 2011 I have been working at GAC Business Solutions and afterwards at Prodware (previously working under the labels Watermark and Qurius) as an international financial expert and lead consultant. The customer always comes first in the Navige philosophy! As I have a lot of experience with Dynamics NAV and know how Dynamics 365 Business Central partners work, I can optimally support companies in the total implementation process. I regularly work as an advisor directly on the side of the (end) customer. In addition, I regularly work from Navige as a consultant for Microsoft Dynamics Partners, recruiters and consultancy firms. Microsoft Dynamics Partners, recruiters en adviesbureaus.
Apps
I have a specific focus on and experience with Continia's apps. In particular. I have a lot of knowledge and experience with regard to Document Capture (a scan and recognition solution) and OPplus (a banking solution). Using Opplus, organizations have access to banking functionality within a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central environment as they had always wanted. With OPplus 365, bank statements can be easily and automatically imported into Dynamics 365 Business Central. This works for most banks in Europe. I am also specialized in Navidocs, an alternative scan and recognition solution from another supplier.
