Unifying Multi-Channel Ops for an Eyewear Retailer with Dynamics 365 ERP
Our client, a prominent eyewear retailer in India, faced challenges in managing their expanding retail operations. With a growing number of retail locations, there was a pressing need for a robust enterprise resource planning (ERP) system that could streamline financial and supply chain management while being scalable and user-friendly. The impact of Dynamics 365 ERP was significant and swift. The modern, cloud-first solution enhanced omnichannel sales visibility and execution, centralized financial data with robust reporting capabilities, providing a scalable system to support their growth plans.
The Client: A Leading Eyewear Retailer
Our client is a leading retailer of prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses in India. As the company continued its expansion with more retail locations, they needed more robust enterprise resource planning (ERP), financial and supply chain management systems to keep pace with their growth. The need was for an integrated digital solution that is scalable and user-friendly.
The Solution: Dynamics 365 ERP Solution Suite
The client sought a solution to consolidate systems, centralize data, scale with growth, and enable omnichannel retail execution. Since the client was already an existing Microsoft enterprise user, Dynamics 365 ERP was found to be the most suitable after carefully evaluating the needs of our client against the platform’s offerings.
The key solutions chosen were:
- Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations
- Dynamics 365 Commerce
- Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management
