Picture, if you will, a worldwide distributor of wireless networking and voice and data solutions, operating eight regional offices, employing nearly 200 employees, and serving more than 90 markets worldwide. Sounds complex, right? Well, add the complexity of rapid business growth increasing annual revenues from $30 million to $64 million over six years.
With that growth, Winncom’s Sage MAS 90 system struggled to scale. “As our business grew, the requirements from management became more complex,” noted Vladimir Fedorov, Director of Finance at Winncom. Stemming from its technical limitations, the Sage MAS 90 system posed other challenges as well. The system could not automate order processing and track vendor rebates, forcing Winncom to perform manual processes, which only became more complex with growth.
To support its growth and meet the more stringent business requirements, Winncom understood that it could either customize its existing Sage MAS 90 system or implement a new enterprise resource planning system. To accommodate the growth, Winncom deployed , and taking full advantage of the extensibility of the system, also deployed Dynamics CRM and select third-party add-ons to create a fully automated, end-to-end distribution system.
