Success Story: Advanced Plastic Corp.: Driving Efficiency and Growth with Dynamics 365 Business Central
Crestwood Associates
Bringing ERP solutions to mid-market businesses through innovative advisory, implementation, and support services.
"Moving to Business Central was a worthwhile endeavor. With Crestwood’s guidance, we saw immediate improvements in reporting and user access. It was great to see the investment bear fruit right away."
– Michael Schillinger, COO, Advanced Plastic Corp.?
The Challenge
Advanced Plastic Corp. had relied on Dynamics GP since 2007, alongside outdated proprietary software. These legacy systems lacked integration capabilities, caused data errors, and required manual workarounds, wasting employee time. Key challenges included scalability issues, as the systems couldn’t support growing operations, and limited user licenses, leading to inefficiencies. Reporting was also outdated, lacking real-time insights and drill-down capabilities. COO Michael Schillinger described the situation as “the last guy at the party when the lights are turned off,” emphasizing the risks of relying on aging technology. These issues highlighted the need for a modern, integrated solution.
The Solution
To address these challenges, Crestwood Associates evaluated Advanced Plastic Corp.’s needs and introduced Dynamics 365 Business Central as the ideal solution. Business Central offered the scalability, modern features, and integration capabilities necessary for growth. Crestwood prioritized financials to address immediate pain points like outdated reporting and limited data access, creating a foundation for future expansions. A phased approach was recommended, starting with financials before progressing to modules like warehousing and scheduling. Crestwood secured stakeholder buy-in through a demonstration of Business Central’s capabilities and implemented a tailored plan to minimize disruptions and align with long-term goals.
