Business Needs
As a newly independent company from Gaz Metro, Gaz Metro Plus needed to deploy a solution that will not only enable them to manage their financial activities but also provide them with a range of products and services such as the installation, maintenance and support of their air and water heating equipment. This, by itself, represented a significant challenge due to the fact that, at that time, Gaz Metro Plus depended entirely on the systems and support of the parent company. They therefore needed to develop a solution that would fulfill their specific needs while also choosing the right management software with which the in-house solution could be easily integrated.
Following multiple research and management solutions comparisons, the IT team finally chose Microsoft Dynamics GP and Inmind as their strategic partner to implement it.
Solutions
Microsoft Dynamics GP serves as the strong technological base to which Gaz Metro Plus connects their in-house applications.
- Financial set
- Distribution set
- Purchasing set
- Sales set
- Integration set
- Capital asset management
While their inventory management transactions are centralized in Microsoft Dynamics GP, all their other activities are administered from within their other applications.
- Customers’ installed equipment inventory
- Services contracts
- Billing and collection cycle
- Fleet and delivery scheduling management
- CRM
- Service Calls Management
Gaz Metro Plus is thereby taking full advantage of Microsoft Dynamics GP integration strength, supported by the judicious addition of Inmind’s add-on solutions such as BridgePoint for IT GUIDE, a tool that makes it all seamless.
The technical setup of the deferred automation processing of the batch recording pushes the boundaries of the solution, and at the same time, free the resources necessary to take care of tasks that are more productive.
Results
Gaz Metro Plus is more than ever confident that Microsoft Dynamics GP will enable them to meet all their present and future needs. With the Inmind Technologies’ experts as an extension of their IT team, Gaz Metro Plus is continuously evolving with new and more efficient approaches that include the discovery of features they weren’t aware of. Like any business, one of their primary objectives is profitability, and working with Inmind in maximizing the capabilities of their ERP ecosystem help them achieve that objective with greater efficiency.
