Executive Summary

A multi-location distributor modernized its operations by implementing Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central with Volt Technologies. Faced with siloed systems and data duplication, they sought a cloud-based ERP that could streamline inventory, finance, and sales across five locations while aligning with their sister company. Volt delivered a unified platform with custom pricing, credit workflows, and integrations that improved efficiency, visibility, and financial control, positioning them for long-term growth and scalability. Thanks to the strength of Volt’s project team and tailored approach, the implementation met both technical and operational needs. The result is a flexible ERP solution that empowers employees and prepares the business for future consolidation.

Customer challenges

Fragmented data, manual financial processes, and limited system access slowed financial reporting and order visibility. Their legacy ERP lacked inventory costing accuracy, required duplicate entry across entities, and caused delays in financial reporting. Sales and customer service teams struggled with order visibility and slow processing, while siloed systems hindered alignment with their sister company. Additionally, the outdated infrastructure limited automation opportunities and made collaboration across locations more difficult.

Partner solutions

Volt Technologies consolidated the distributor’s dual-entity structure into one Business Central instance, redesigned financials, inventory, and sales, and implemented Power BI and Power Automate. Custom solutions included a location-based pricing engine, credit limit approval workflows, and integrations with Paylocity and Truist Bank. Volt balanced out-of-the-box features with strategic customizations to ensure long-term stability. Extensive testing, data validation, and user training helped ensure a smooth transition with minimal business disruption.

Customer benefits

With Business Central, the distributor achieved faster month-end closing, unified inventory visibility, reduced AR risk, and fewer manual processes. Financial reporting became streamlined, and automated payroll and banking integrations saved hours weekly. Employees gained stronger tools and confidence through hands-on training, while scalable systems positioned the business for future growth. These improvements allowed the distributor to align with their sister company’s platform and eliminate operational redundancies across locations.
