## Executive Summary

A century-old U.S. brick and paver manufacturer, relied on a legacy system that struggled to support its growing, fully vertical business, from manufacturing to distribution. Managing financials, supply chain logistics, and showroom operations across multiple locations became increasingly complex, with outdated reporting and manual processes limiting efficiency. Volt Technologies implemented Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, streamlining financials, supply chain, and dispatch operations. The new solution improved data accuracy and enhanced overall process efficiency, providing the agility and scalability needed for long-term success.

## Customer challenges

The manufacturer operated on an outdated system that created inefficiencies in financial management, reporting, and logistics. With three manufacturing plants, five showroom locations, and an extensive dispatch program, managing inventory, customer orders, and financial processes required excessive manual effort. The lack of real-time data visibility hindered decision- making, and the transition from AX to Business Central required extensive data migration and system customizations to support business operations.

## Partner solutions

Volt Technologies implemented Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, replacing the legacy system with a modern, cloud-based ERP solution. The team streamlined financial workflows, enhanced supply chain management, and optimized dispatch operations. Customized reports and Power BI integrations improved real-time data visibility, while automation reduced manual tasks. Key integrations were developed to support the complex business structure, ensuring a seamless transition and a scalable foundation for future growth.

## Customer benefits

With Business Central, the manufacturer improved operational efficiency, reduced manual processes, and gained better visibility into financial and logistics operations. The cloud-based system enabled real-time data access, empowering informed decision-making while supporting business expansion.
