About the client

A leading defense outerwear manufacturer specializing in jackets and parkas for military and government contracts. The company operates across multiple facilities with complex manufacturing processes and inter-company transactions.

A decade of customizations locked into an ERP losing support

  • Heavy legacy customizations locked into aging Dynamics NAV 2017, making upgrades and support increasingly costly
  • Thick-client architecture required manual installation on every user machine, limiting mobility
  • Bank reconciliation errors causing persistent cash-balance mismatches
  • Siloed data with no unified view across Pebblestone (apparel management) and Lanham Shipping
  • Microsoft end-of-support deadline creating security and compliance risk

Preserving critical business logic while moving to cloud Business Central

We executed a full migration from Dynamics NAV 2017 to D365 Business Central 24 (SaaS), preserving critical business logic while modernizing the entire platform.

Teams integration

Unified collaboration across factories and head office via BC-Teams interoperability.

Anywhere access

Tablet and phone clients enable BC SaaS access from shop floor to HQ.

Embedded analytics

In-screen data analysis powers faster MIS reporting without leaving Business Central.

Inter-company wizard

Simplified cross-entity setup, transactions, and reporting in one guided flow.

Statistical accounts

Non-GL postings (cost/sqm, revenue per headcount) captured natively for financial reports.

Full data unity

Pebblestone and Lanham Shipping fully integrated: one source of truth across all applications.
