Microsoft Dynamics GP has been a cornerstone of mid-market business operations for decades. Thousands of manufacturers, distributors, and service organizations have built their day-to-day workflows around it. At Panatrack, we’ve been part of that story since 2004, and we’re not going anywhere.
We’re proud to have joined the Knights of GP, a community of ISVs who share one thing in common: a genuine, long-term commitment to the companies still running Dynamics GP. Visit the Knights of GP!
Our GP commitment isn’t a marketing position. It’s a track record.
PanatrackerGP has been purpose-built for Dynamics GP from the beginning. It connects to GP via eConnect, reads directly from your GP data, and writes transactions back using the same business rules as manual GP entry. There’s no separate database, no sync to manage, and no middleware sitting in between. GP stays your system of record.
Today, we support hundreds of businesses running PanatrackerGP, with thousands of scanners active across warehouse floors, receiving docks, stockrooms, and manufacturing lines. Those aren’t trial users or legacy installs waiting to be migrated off. Those are real operations that depend on PanatrackerGP every day to move product accurately and efficiently. That responsibility is not something we take lightly.
Why we’re excited to be part of Knights of GP
There’s a lot of noise right now about GP’s future. Microsoft has set a support timeline, and that’s created uncertainty for a lot of organizations. The Knights of GP exist to cut through that noise with a clear message: GP still works, your investment still has value, and there are partners who will stand with you.
We’ve always believed that!
A well-configured GP environment paired with PanatrackerGP can run a warehouse operation as well as anything on the market. The fact that other ISVs share that view, and are willing to say so publicly, is something we wanted to be part of.
Earning the Knights of GP badge matters to us because it’s a public promise to our customers. It tells them that when they call us in 2027 or 2029, we’ll still be here, the product will still work, and we’ll still be investing in it.
What staying on GP looks like for our customers
Microsoft has committed to final year-end updates through 2028 and security updates through April 2031. For many of our customers, that timeline is more than enough runway. They’re not looking to rip and replace their ERP to the tune of Hundreds of Thousands of dollars. They’re looking to get more out of what they already have.
That’s exactly what PanatrackerGP does. It takes a GP environment that may still be relying on paper pick tickets, manual lot number entry, or keyboard-based receiving, and turns it into a real-time, barcode-driven operation. The cost of fulfillment mistakes is real, and it compounds over time. Addressing it doesn’t require switching ERPs or shelling out for a standalone WMS.
We’ve written about this before from a few different angles. Batch picking for distributors is one area where the efficiency gains are immediate and measurable. Put-away and bin tracking is another. These aren’t features that require a new platform; they run inside the GP environment you already own.
What our customers are saying
Our biggest change was the speed of physical inventory counts. Our prior manual count process would take over 8 hours of both manual data collection as well as data entry into GP. Now we are done in 1 hour, 2 at worst. I can’t say enough good things about the team and the software that we worked with at Panatrack.

That sentiment is consistent across our install base. Most of our GP customers aren’t asking us about migration. They’re asking about adding devices, expanding to new sites, or adding modules like label printing or manufacturing support. The demand is for more capability on GP, not a way out.
Our plans for PanatrackerGP going forward
We will continue releasing updates aligned with each supported GP version through the 2028 lifecycle. Our adapter versions are maintained for each release, and we have no plans to walk away from that commitment. PanatrackerGP communicates through eConnect and SQL, so its core functionality is not dependent on Microsoft’s ongoing GP development. That matters for customers planning to run GP beyond 2031 on a perpetual license.
We’re also continuing to invest in the areas our customers care about most: label printing integration, lot and serial tracking, manufacturing workflows, and the depth of configuration that lets each customer fit PanatrackerGP to their specific operation rather than the other way around.
If you’re a GP user wondering whether your barcode and inventory scanning solution will still be there in five years, the answer from Panatrack is yes.
