Challenges

The absence of a centralised reporting structure, for example, made it challenging for management to get real-time business data for decision-making.

After a thorough evaluation of various ERP solutions, Deep Industries chose Dynamics 365 Business Central as the backbone of its digital transformation strategy. The decision was driven by the following key factors:
