Implementing Microsoft Dynamics for a Real-Estate Developer

Overview

We successfully implemented Microsoft Dynamics for a real-estate development company to enhance their project management, budgeting, and procurement processes. Each building project was meticulously tracked and managed within Dynamics, from land acquisition to the final sale and invoicing of units. Integration with Salesforce CRM ensured seamless data flow and operational efficiency.

Challenge

The real-estate developer faced multiple challenges:

• Complex Project Management: Each building project involved numerous items, various BOM versions, and intricate budgeting requirements.
• Procurement and Purchase Tracking: Managing the procurement and purchasing process for each project was essential to ensure timely completion and cost control.
• Integration with Salesforce: The company used Salesforce CRM for managing customer relationships and needed a solution to sync sales and invoicing data back to Dynamics F&O.

Solution

To address these challenges, we implemented a comprehensive solution using Microsoft Dynamics tailored to the specific needs of the real-estate developer.
