Customer challenges

Allure Bridals had already invested in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, but the core system alone did not provide the specialized functionality needed for managing the complexities of bridal and formalwear operations. The company faced challenges around managing size and color variants, coordinating seasonal collections, and streamlining purchasing and production workflows. These gaps limited visibility and slowed processes essential for delivering premium gowns efficiently to global retailers.

Partner solutions

Volt implemented Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central as Evergreen’s unified operational and financial backbone, configuring the platform to capture freight, tariffs, warehousing, and carry costs at a granular level. The solution standardized documentation, centralized purchasing and inventory workflows, and delivered accurate lot-tracking and order visibility, areas that improved by +100% after moving to Business Central. Volt also addressed cross-border considerations for China based users and delivered a scalable architecture that positions Evergreen to adopt future Microsoft + Volt-led innovations, including AI-driven capabilities that support operational excellence and long-term strategic growth.

Customer benefits

With Business Central in place, Evergreen now operates from a single, globally accessible ERP environment that significantly reduces manual work and improves data integrity. Accurate landed-cost calculations support better profitability decisions, while standardized documents and consistent workflows have elevated operational discipline across teams. Purchasing, inventory, and order management processes now run with full lot visibility and precise item charge allocation. With a forward-leaning mindset and a modern Microsoft platform in place, Evergreen is positioned to set a new standard for operational excellence in its space and accelerate future digital transformation.
“We needed a partner with experience launching Business Central for U.S. and China teams. Volt’s responsiveness and understanding of the system structure made the implementation far smoother.”
