Industries We Work With

Desktop displays - sharp/nec
Manufacturing

Manufacturers striving for success must have agile shop floors, efficient multi-channel trading capabilities, real-time inventory control & planning, and seamless on-time and in-full delivery, supported by impeccable customer service.

Relying on contrasting departmental systems, error-prone spreadsheets, and or paper-based processes is no longer sufficient. Manufacturers must transition to an integrated solution that encompasses order management, finance, production, distribution, and service through Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

With our extensive industry experience, there's no need to explain complex manufacturing processes and terminology to our team; they already understand them. As a result, we instead spend our efforts understanding your project objectives and unique operational challenges, ensuring a successful implementation.

Finance

Microsoft Business Central offers robust accounting capabilities with budgeting and forecasting tools, cash flow management features, financial analysis, and reporting functionalities. It also provides a comprehensive solution to streamline financial processes, ensure regulatory compliance, and facilitate informed efficient decision-making.

Distribution and Wholesale

Business Central assists distributors and wholesalers in maintaining optimal inventory levels, ensuring efficient product movement, whilst delivering exceptional customer service, and providing unmatched technical/product expertise.

However, with evolving customer demands, distributors must also offer additional value-add services. Online ordering and self-service capabilities expedited next-day or same-day delivery, technical training, product kitting, final assembly, on-time and in-full reporting, and seamless integration with third-party logistics have become essential. These capabilities are necessary to establish a deeper connection with customers and minimise the risk of losing business to competitors.

Engineering

Microsoft Dynamics Business Central is applicable to the engineering industry in several ways. It offers project management capabilities for efficient project planning, resource allocation, and budget management.  

Business Central’s inventory and supply chain management features streamline procurement processes and enhance material handling. Resource planning and allocation tools optimise resource utilisation, while financial management capabilities ensure accurate financial reporting. The document management feature organises project-related documents, enhancing collaboration and accessibility. Business Central also supports integration and customisation, enabling seamless data exchange and workflow streamlining across engineering systems.

Not-for Profit

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is also ideal for not-for-profit (NFP) organisations, offering comprehensive and robust reporting and analytics capabilities, integration and collaboration with other Microsoft and Third-Party applications, and features for compliance and accountability. By leveraging these capabilities, NFP organisations can streamline operations and enhance financial management.

Hear From Our Clients

"HILS had been using Sage 50 Finance and felt it was outdated. We wanted a cloud-based solution rather than a hosted one. Sharp were great from the very start of the process, from understanding our requirements and then mapping out how to implement the new system – Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Their efforts in setting us up, training us, and still being there for us when we got stuck, has been exceptional. We have had excellent service from Sharp and would not hesitate to recommend them to other companies."
