Unique customizations in the cloud dramatically improves business operations for Ohio landscape supplier
Another significant deployment of Business Central this year took place for Ohio Mulch, a leading landscape supply company that sells more mulch than any other manufacturer in Ohio. With over 30 years in business, Ohio Mulch operates 24 retail stores and production facilities located in South Georgia, North Kentucky, Dayton, Cincinnati, and Columbus, where they produce high-quality mulch. In 2006, the company implemented Dynamics NAV and made extensive customizations to meet its specialized operational needs. However, these customizations complicated and increased the costs of future upgrades, leading them to continue using the outdated version of Dynamics NAV until 2019. In January 2020, DemandDynamics collaborated with Ohio Mulch to quickly transition from the old system to Dynamics 365 Business Central in the cloud. Ohio Mulch again needed several specific customizations. DemandDynamics partnered closely with the Ohio Mulch project team to integrate features for handling negative inventory, aligning freight accruals with sales orders, managing Bill of Lading, and converting the base units of measure for pallets. Ohio Mulch successfully launched Business Central on March 1, 2020.
