PickMe, Sri Lanka’s largest software developer related to mobility solutions and ZILLIONe, the leading provider of pioneering enterprise-wide business solutions have come together to work towards the successful implementation of the Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018 solution. Given PickMe’s rapid growth and projected future expansion including the handling of over half a million financial transactions per day, the company required a world-class ERP solution that would seamlessly integrate, simplify and streamline business operations.
Additional critical requirements included, the ability to dynamically scale up in order to cater to ever-increasing volumes of data generated by the company’s business operations, assistance in automation processes and the introduction of controls without the need to hire additional finance/back office staff.
PickMe was on the lookout for an IT partner to provide a tightly integrated ERP solution to enable the company to attain continued growth and in alignment with its strategic business objectives. Having set the standard for delivering innovative Microsoft solutions that meet the needs of customers, ZILLIONe was selected to deploy the powerful functionalities of Microsoft Dynamics NAV.
Engaging a three-phased approach, the solution was deployed ensuring rapid progress. During phase one, PickMe’s financial data was successfully migrated into NAV together with new features, functionalities and modules enabling increased efficiency and streamlined processes. The existing finance team is now ideally equipped to handle the rising monthly business volumes. The deployment of phase two included migrating the company’s data to ensure management have easy access to highly-customised and detailed information for decision making purposes. While the final phase is ongoing, the implemented NAV solution has undoubtedly enhanced PickMe’s operational efficiency and productivity for all user levels across the organisation, addressing various business needs and strategic growth plans.
Elaborating on the success of the project, PickMe Chairman Ajit Gunewardene said, “With our business growing rapidly, the number of transactions has continued to increase significantly. In order to improve efficiency within the team we decided to bring in world-class technology to automate and streamline processes within the company. We opted to select Microsoft Dynamics NAV as we realised that NAV gave us a significant advantage that others could not match.”
“Furthermore ZILLIONe understood our business and looked at a long-term plan to migrate to NAV. We appreciate their professional attitude, flexible approach and long-term thinking in deploying a solution that met all our requirements. I am happy to note that we have successfully completed two phases of the project and have already commenced phase three,” he added.
