About the client
The client is a US-based cannabis company that owns two renowned brands, which are known for their top-shelf products, state-of-the-art production facilities, and commitment to quality.
Client challenges
The client relied on QuickBooks for accounting and Dutchie for retail operations. However, this siloed approach led to several challenges:
- Lack of integration: QuickBooks and Dutchie operated as separate systems, hindering data flow between critical business functions.
- Disconnected experience: Fragmented data made it difficult to see a holistic view of operations.
- Manual data entry: Manual data transfer between systems was prone to errors and was time-consuming.
Solution
To address these challenges, experts at LevelShift implemented Dynamics 365 Business Central.
- Comprehensive business management: New purchase, sales, financials, and inventory management modules within BC provided a unified system for managing all critical business functions.
- Integrated data flow: A smooth integration between BC and Dutchie automatically fed daily sales data. This automated the daily transfer of retail sales data into BC, providing a real-time view of sales performance.
- Independent entity control: The client can keep control of their two brands within one system, avoiding complex consolidation processes.
- Independent configuration and data: Each brand maintains its own configuration, chart of accounts, and master data, ensuring control over its financial information.
