By implementing Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales and Business Central, alongside seamless integrations with their Magento portal, Al Yaum transformed its operations. This comprehensive solution enhanced customer management, streamlined financial and supply chain processes, and ensured data flows across platforms, enabling Al Yaum to achieve operational efficiency and scalability.

About the Organization

Al Yaum specializes in merchant onboarding and eCommerce, providing customers and merchants with an intuitive platform for deals, products, and services. The company is dedicated to optimizing customer and deal management while ensuring seamless operational efficiency through innovative technology solutions.

Challenges

Despite its success, Al Yaum faced significant operational challenges:

1. Customer and Deal Management: Managing a growing customer base and complex deal processes was becoming inefficient with existing systems.
2. Finance and Supply Chain Oversight: A lack of robust financial tools hindered efficient supply chain and financial management.
3. Platform Integration: Integration between Al Yaum’s Magento eCommerce portal, CRM, and financial systems was limited, causing data silos and operational inefficiencies.

Solution

To address these challenges, Al Yaum implemented a robust technology stack powered by Microsoft Dynamics 365:

1. Dynamics 365 Sales: This module was tailored for efficient customer management, deal tracking, merchant onboarding, and product and order processing. It provided a centralized platform for managing all customer interactions and sales activities.
2. Dynamics 365 Business Central: A modern ERP solution that streamlined financial and supply chain operations, enabling accurate financial tracking, efficient budgeting, and supply chain visibility.
3. System Integrations:
   • Dynamics 365 Sales & Business Central: Integrated to ensure seamless data flow between customer-facing operations and back-office processes.
   • Magento Portal Integration: Connected Magento with Dynamics 365 Sales to synchronize products, customers, and orders, creating a unified eCommerce ecosystem. Products were passed from CRM to Magento, while customers and orders were relayed back to Dynamics 365 Sales and then to Business Central for fulfillment and financial tracking.

• Operational Scalability: The interconnected systems provided a scalable foundation, allowing Al Yaum to handle growth in its customer base, product offerings, and operational complexity with ease.
• Improved Decision-Making: Real-time dashboards and analytics offered actionable insights, empowering Al Yaum’s leadership to make informed decisions and address issues proactively.

Conclusion
