The electronic appliance trader faced several challenges with their legacy system (myob advanced), which prompted the decision for an upgrade.
The business needed a solution that could handle
growing transaction volumes and more complex multichannel operations, particularly as the company
expanded to more retailers and e-commerce platforms.
Manual processes led to inefficiencies, errors in order fulfillment, and delays in invoicing and financial reporting.
MYOB Advanced did not offer cloud-based functionality, which limited flexibility and remote accessibility for employees.
The company relied on EDI for communication with suppliers and customers, but their existing system lacked a seamless integration with EDI standards.
MYOB Advanced lacked robust, real-time financial reporting capabilities, which made it difficult to get accurate insights into the company’s financial health.
Migration complemented by the implementation of anveo edi, an advanced edi solution, to handle the company’s electronic transactions seamlessly.
The integration allowed the company to automate a wide range of manual processes, including order entry, procurement, invoicing, and reporting.
The real-time integration of inventory data with demand forecasting and automated reordering systems helped the company reduce stockouts and minimize excess inventory.
Purchase orders, invoices, and shipment notifications were exchanged automatically, leading to quicker order fulfillment and improved customer satisfaction.
As the business continued to expand, Dynamics 365 Business Central provided the scalability needed to support the growth.
Reports on profit margins, costs, sales trends, and accounts receivable provided a comprehensive view of the business's financial status.
With integrated sales and inventory management, the company was able to respond faster to customer demands, reducing lead times and improving service levels.
Migrating from MYOB Advanced to Dynamics 365 Business Central was complex, particularly in ensuring that legacy data was accurately mapped and cleaned. The project team dedicated significant effort to ensuring data integrity and minimizing disruptions during the migration process.
While Anveo EDI was a powerful solution, setting up the system and ensuring seamless communication with trading partners took time and required careful configuration to meet the specific needs of the company’s supplier and customer network.
