Described as an open-heart surgery for our client, the project aimed to introduce a new ERP system during ongoing operations within one year, using Business Central to enable more efficient business processes. Additionally, an intuitive e-commerce solution was planned to optimize the rim distribution comprehensively. It was crucial to avoid media breaks between the new solutions and to enable existing and new customers and partners to connect to the systems effortlessly without losing old connections and historical movement data.
The previous ERP system had over 50 EDI connections to platforms or customer systems that needed to be migrated from Microsoft Dynamics Navision 2009 to the new ERP system, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. With our powerful, out-of-the-box ERP connector, N4CONNECT, these were transferred to the new system. The format of existing connections was harmonized with the newly introduced standard format for connections.
Through N4CONNECT, all partners and suppliers can be connected faster in a unified format and used directly in the new B2B webshop. When a partner is added in our solution, the interface is designed so that all data from the standard format can be used directly in Business Central—without additional effort or manual errors during data transfer.
DIEWE WHEELS GmbH has become more scalable through N4CONNECT, by automating and integrating business-critical processes. The new system interfaces work more accurately than previously used, separate accounting systems and allow real-time access to current operational figures and values.
