Tecvia Transforms Moving Mountains with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Staying ahead in the competitive and ever-evolving food industry requires innovative products and efficient, scalable, and integrated business systems.
For Moving Mountains, a pioneering vegan food brand founded in 2018, rapid growth exposed the limitations of their existing Sage financial systems and separate stock management tools. Data duplication, double entries, and a lack of integration were holding them back. Enter Tecvia, a trusted UK Microsoft Partner, who stepped in to implement Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, transforming Moving Mountains’ operations and setting them up for future success.
This case study explores how Tecvia’s expertise in ERP solutions for the food and beverage industry, combined with the power of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, helped Moving Mountains streamline its operations, improve efficiency, and achieve scalability.
The Challenge: Outgrowing Legacy Systems
Moving Mountains’ rapid growth highlighted the inefficiencies of their legacy systems. Their Sage financial software and standalone stock management tools no longer fit the purpose. Key challenges included:
- Data duplication and double entries: Manual processes led to errors and inefficiencies.
- Lack of integration: Disconnected systems created silos, hindering visibility across the business.
- Scalability concerns: Existing systems couldn’t support the company’s ambitious growth plans.
Moving Mountains needed a modern, cloud-based ERP solution that could integrate seamlessly with their warehouse system, provide real-time insights, and scale with their business. After thoroughly evaluating ERP systems, they prioritised ease of use, accessibility, flexibility, and scalability—the criteria in which Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central excelled.
