Platform and products for this sector
Manufacturing programmes typically run on Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations, Dynamics 365 Business Central, Power Platform & Power BI, with DigiTaxFlow 365, PayrollFlow 365, AssetFlow 365, StockFlow 365 covering the sector-specific gaps. Which combination applies depends on entity count, integration load and the reporting you must produce from the ledger.
How a programme runs
We start with the process that hurts most in the sector, not with the whole ERP. Discovery and fit-gap on your own processes, a design signed off by finance and operations, a pilot on real documents, then roll-out in phases with hypercare after go-live.
Discover: workshops, data audit and written fit-gap
Design: blueprint, integrations and the extensions that are justified
Deploy: configuration, migration rehearsals, training and cutover
Support: hypercare, managed services and optimisation reviews
