Challenge

The starting point.

SmartFlower was scaling its solar product line across North American and European dealer networks while still running finance and operations on a patchwork of QuickBooks files and shared spreadsheets. Inventory was opaque, multi-currency reporting required manual consolidation, and the leadership team had no real-time view of margin by region or product.

Approach

How we delivered.

01

Discovery and ERP selection

Mapped existing finance, sales, and inventory processes to the Dynamics 365 Business Central feature set; defined a phased rollout aligned to fiscal year close.

02

Phased Business Central deployment

Configured GL, AP/AR, multi-currency, inventory, and assembly orders in a phased cutover so the operations team could absorb change without disrupting customer commitments.

03

Power BI on top of Business Central

Built executive dashboards for cash, margin by region, and inventory turns — refreshed nightly against the BC data warehouse.

04

Adoption & enablement

Trained finance and operations teams with role-based playbooks; established a post-go-live support cadence to lock in adoption.
