Streamlining operations manufacturing with Microsoft Business Central

The challenge

Our client, a prominent manufacturing company, faced significant operational inefficiencies due to the use of multiple disparate systems across their business. Each department operated on separate platforms without any integration. This resulted in several issues:

• Redundant manual data entry across systems
• Increased risk of errors and inconsistencies
• None of the existing systems fully met the company's needs, leading to fragmented and incomplete data management

Why choose Dynamics Connect

Recognising our expertise in implementing comprehensive business management solutions and our in-depth understanding of their industry-specific processes, the manufacturing company chose us to overhaul their systems. The track record from our developers and support team at deploying Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central assured them that we could provide a seamless, all-in-one business solution.

Planning and solutions

In the planning phase we decided the client would benefit from using Projects in Business Central as they could import from Excel and create projects for each order they receive from their customers. This allowed them to see budgets against actuals and costs associated with each item brought.

Implementation and results

All business functions, including CRM, finance, inventory, and production, were integrated into a single platform, eliminating the need for redundant data entry. The system was customised to align with the specific processes and workflows of the manufacturing company, ensuring optimal performance and user satisfaction. Comprehensive handover was conducted for staff to ensure a smooth transition to the new system, with ongoing support provided to address any issues and optimise system use.

The integration of all business functions into a single system streamlined operations and reduced manual data entry. Real-time data synchronisation eliminated inconsistencies and errors, while detailed tracking of project budgets versus actual costs provided better financial oversight and control. Additionally, the new system was scalable, allowing for future growth and the addition of new functionalities as needed.

Conclusion

By choosing our expertise in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, the manufacturing company successfully transformed their operations. The comprehensive, integrated system provided the tools they needed to manage their business more efficiently and effectively, setting a strong foundation for future growth and success.
