Dynamics 365 Case Studies by Preact

4 verified stories

Real Dynamics 365 implementations delivered by Preact — summarised from case studies published on their website, with only the figures the original source reports.

Mencap

Nonprofit / CharityUnited Kingdom

Spreadsheets and paper-based forms alongside an on-premises Dynamics deploymentDynamics 365 Customer Engagement (CRM)

over 140 volunteers

volunteer network

around 50

suppliers onboarded per year

1-2 minutes

time saved per volunteer form

Challenge: Mencap, a UK learning-disability charity with over 300 local groups, onboarded around 50 suppliers a year through spreadsheets with inconsistently entered data, and volunteer visit reports arrived on paper forms that administrators re-keyed into CRM.

Read more

Solution: Working with ANS, a partner since 2011, Mencap moved supplier onboarding and volunteer reporting into Dynamics 365, automating workflows with Power Automate and Microsoft Forms and migrating its Dynamics systems to the cloud during the pandemic.

Results: Automated workflows removed duplicated manual work, each digitised volunteer form saves 1-2 minutes across 100-130 forms a month, and the cloud move improved integration stability while reducing server maintenance overhead.

With Dynamics 365, we have removed numerous manual processes by automating workflows that have eliminated duplication of effort and transformed the accuracy of our data.

Tobermore

Building Materials ManufacturingUnited Kingdom

On-premises Dynamics 365 CRM (used until 2021)Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (CRM)

70

product constellations added

Challenge: Tobermore, a family-run UK and Ireland paving and walling manufacturer founded in 1942, had outgrown an on-premises Dynamics 365 CRM whose restricted functionality and scalability limited use across a fast-growing business.

Read more

Solution: ANS ran a trial migration in a sandbox before moving the CRM to the cloud, then provided ongoing customisation through its Centre of Excellence, including a bespoke Constellations feature to track paving product variants against sales opportunities where standard product bundles fell short.

Results: The migrated system now records and reports Constellation data, with 70 Constellations added and users able to associate them with opportunities in four steps, supported by bi-weekly working sessions with the partner team.

The time we have with the ANS consultants is invaluable because we can talk about what is coming up in the pipeline, discuss any issues we are facing or bounce ideas off with them.

On-premises Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (CRM)

Teams now capture and share customer information from a single source of truth, which the company reports has produced operational cost savings and made the business more responsive in a competitive distribution market.

Challenge: Micheldever Group, one of the largest UK tyre wholesalers with a nationwide chain of fast-fit and mechanical garages, was running an outdated on-premises Dynamics 2011 CRM that no longer fit its Microsoft-centred technology strategy.

Read more

Solution: ANS migrated the company to Dynamics 365, restructuring internal processes around a business-wide platform with mobile applications, and used a knowledge-transfer delivery model so Micheldever could own the solution internally.

Results: Teams now capture and share customer information from a single source of truth, which the company reports has produced operational cost savings and made the business more responsive in a competitive distribution market.

We chose ANS due to their partnership focussed delivery methodology and change management services being offered. We feel that we got the exact things paid for on paper.
