Dynamics 365 ERP Customer Story with Astatine
Simply Dynamics enables Astatine deliver Sustainable Solutions
Helping Customers achieve Carbon Emission Goals and Sustainability…
Background
Astatine specialises in identifying and implementing renewable energy technologies tailored to clients’ specific requirements.
As a leading innovator in energy and C02 reduction solutions, particularly in decarbonisation – Astatine design innovative technical and commercial solutions to optimise energy efficiency and cost saving while delivering a C02 emissions reduction roadmap and end to end decarbonisation strategies for their clients.
The Challenges
Rapid industry change and demand for Astatine services required the team to take stock of their internal systems and processes and in particular around their ERP Solutions. Astatine very quickly adopted an approach of a total new ERP solution to meet expanding business and customer demands.
After some research and engagement, Astatine chose to partner with Simply Dynamics, a Gold Dynamics 365 Certified Partner to help them to select and install the best Dynamics 365 ERP Cloud Solutions to meet all their long-term sustainability goals.
A key requirement of Astatine was for a rapid deployment and Go Live. As a relatively new start-up venture, Astatine’s ERP project was a completely new install so there was little data migration involved, this enabled them to instead prioritise streamlining and automating some of the key areas of the business.
The Solution
Astatine wanted a partner that specialised in both the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Platform and have an in-depth knowledge & understanding of the Industry – and Simply Dynamics ticked all the boxes with:
- Dynamics 365 Business Central Cloud ERP
- Integrated D365 SD Document Pack App
- Integrated D365 SD Interface Banking App
- Job Costing Module (integrated to Sales & Purchasing)
- Reporting & Analysis
The Result
