In today’s digital age, businesses face numerous challenges when it comes to data entry, system utilization, and comprehensive reporting capabilities. Despite the prominence of digital marketing, traditional marketing methods still hold relevance in certain industries. This case study explores how the TM Group, an experienced technology consulting firm, helped a signage and event marketing materials company overcome these challenges by transitioning from an outdated system to a cloud-based ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) solution.
Overview of the client’s challenges
The client, a signage and event marketing materials company, struggled with inefficient data entry, underutilization of their existing Microsoft Dynamics GP system, and limited reporting capabilities. They realized the need for a solution that could enhance efficiency and accuracy in reporting while also integrating seamlessly with their existing operations.
Transitioning to a cloud-based solution
Recognizing the importance of transitioning to a cloud-based solution, the client decided to migrate to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. With its modern features and accessibility from anywhere via the cloud, Business Central promised to address their operational inefficiencies and reporting limitations.
Guided Trial Phase with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
To ensure a smooth transition, the TM Group guided the client through a trial phase using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. This phase allowed the client to explore the functionalities, test data entry efficiency, and evaluate the reporting capabilities of the new system. The comprehensive guidance provided by the TM Group ensured that the client felt confident in their decision to migrate.
Successful Migration and Integration
With the support of the TM Group, the client successfully completed the migration to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. However, the transition did not stop there. To further streamline their operations, the TM Group integrated the client’s existing Salesforce system with Business Central, allowing for a seamless data flow between the two platforms. This integration enabled the client to maximize the potential of both systems and improve overall efficiency.
Additionally, the TM Group leveraged Microsoft Power Automate (formerly known as Microsoft Flow) to automate routine tasks, such as data entry and reporting, freeing up valuable time and resources for the client’s team. This automation significantly improved operational efficiency and reduced the chances of human error.

The TM Group’s expertise extends beyond digital platforms, as demonstrated in their collaboration with a signage and event marketing materials company.

These inefficiencies hindered the company’s growth and productivity, prompting them to seek a cloud-based solution that could effectively address these pain points.
The Importance of Cloud-Based Solutions for Efficiency and Reporting Accuracy
The decision to transition to a cloud-based solution was driven by the client’s requirement for enhanced efficiency and reporting accuracy. With a cloud-based ERP system like Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, companies can enjoy real-time data access, improved collaboration, streamlined processes, and advanced reporting capabilities.
