Sharjah Manufacturing & Trading Company Replaces Outdated ERP with Dynamics 365 Business Central Cuts Monthly Financial Close from 14 Days to 2 Days
A mid-sized manufacturing and trading company operating from Sharjah Industrial Area with operations in Dubai and Abu Dhabi had been running on a 15-year-old ERP system that could not handle UAE VAT correctly, had no Arabic interface, and required manual Excel reconciliation for every month-end close. The finance team of 8 spent the first two weeks of every month doing nothing but reconciliation. Inventory accuracy was consistently below 85%, leading to over-ordering, dead stock worth AED 1.2M sitting in the warehouse, and an inability to quote customers accurately on delivery timelines.
Swasti Datamatrix implemented Dynamics 365 Business Central for this UAE manufacturer configuring the full UAE VAT module to FTA specifications, building an Arabic-language purchase order and sales order workflow, integrating with their third-party warehouse management system, and creating automated bank reconciliation connected to their Emirates NBD and Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank feeds. Power BI dashboards connected to Business Central provided live inventory valuation, margin analysis by product category, and a 13-week cash flow forecast updated daily.
