On the upgrade survival point, I&#39;d ask each vendor for a reference customer who&#39;s actually been through at least one major version upgrade with custom fields in place, rather than taking the configurability pitch at face value. That&#39;s the conversation that surfaces whether admin level changes really hold up over time.

TRIMIT Fashion earned a spot on our shortlist for the Business Central foundation. Inheriting a whole platform&#39;s configuration toolkit means the fashion layer sits on top of something your admins may already know, and custom fields behave the way Business Central custom fields behave rather than the way one vendor decided they should.

&lt;p&gt;The depth of configurability likely differs significantly: TRIMIT benefits from the broader Dynamics 365 ecosystem, Aptean Prima offers fashion-specific modular flexibility, and DeBox appears more dependent on vendor-led configuration. The key test is whether business admins can make changes themselves—and whether those changes remain intact through upgrades.&lt;/p&gt;
