Success Stories

Headquartered in Augusta, Georgia, Carolina Georgia Sound (CGS) provides sound and video equipment and services to businesses across the country for surveillance, entertainment systems, and quality assistance. A few of CGS’ top clients include McDonald’s, Starbucks, CVS Pharmacy, Petco and The Home Depot, with many other big-name brands to follow. Whether businesses want sound systems for entertainment purposes, headsets for drive-thrus or surveillance systems to increase security, CGS provides the best-in-class technology to support businesses’ unique needs and enhance the customer experience.  

CGS partnered with Bond Consulting Services (BCS) to implement Dynamics 365 Business Central integrated with Dynamics 365 Field Service leveraging the BCS Power Connector. CGS desired a system for synching customers, sales and purchase invoices from Dynamics 365 Field Service to Business Central to streamline operations and limit manual effort. BCS implemented the Business Central module of Accounts Receivable including sales invoices from Field Services, Cash Receipts and AR Aging, and the Field Service modules of Work Orders, Resource, Scheduling Invoicing and Purchase Orders. BCS also implemented Recurring Billing including Billing Schedule, Invoice Creation and Reporting, as well as important Mobile Apps for managing customer information, work orders, signatures and pictures.  

The Recurring Billing module enables CGS to enter contracts into Dynamics 365 Field Service and all related invoices will populate in Business Central, enabling their accounting and sales teams to easily track when invoices are sent or received and what invoices are still outstanding in the system. After an invoice payment is received, the Power Connector pushes the posted invoice and payment information from the Customer Ledger Entry records back into Dynamics 365 Field Service so users and technicians can ensure that the service is fully completed. The Power Connector saves CGS time, effort and expensive licensing costs by streamlining operations while still enabling their technician team to remain in their Field Service environment and their accounting team to remain in their Business Central environment to improve productivity.  

CGS purchased a Power Connector license, Dynamics 365 Field Service licenses for 19 users, Dynamics 365 Business Central Premium license for one user, and Binary Streams Standard licenses for three users. The CGS Team is very happy with their integrated environment and has been using it for the last several months to streamline their operations and enhance their electronics production and distribution. BCS has enjoyed working closely with CGS and we look forward to providing ongoing configuration consulting and support for their Dynamics 365 environment into the future.

Founded in 2016, ConstructConnect provides important preconstruction software and workflow automation solutions to help plan projects before beginning to build. ConstructConnect is headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, but its customers can access and utilize the software from anywhere on a single, comprehensive platform. ConstructConnect also grants access to the largest network of subcontractors, making it easy to build an efficient bid process for construction projects. ConstructConnect is a leader in its field, and it enables customers to publish projects with just a single click.

ConstructConnect struggled from a lack of cloud infrastructure and lack of a requisition automation solution which made it much more difficult to automate workflows and control indirect spend. ConstructConnect decided to migrate from Dynamics GP to Dynamics 365 Business Central to take advantage of newer Dynamics 365 cloud-based technology. The ConstructConnect team began searching for the right Dynamics partner to assist with this migration and interviewed five different partners for this critical project. In October 2020, after a rigorous selection process, ConstructConnect selected BCS to manage the migration to ensure success. David Storer, ConstructConnect’s Controller, shared that “BCS was excellent through the sales process…very knowledgeable and responsive…the clear selection among five potential providers”. 

With expert guidance from the BCS Team, ConstructConnect migrated from Dynamics GP to Business Central in December of 2020 including 2 companies, Financials with Dimensions, Purchasing, Banking, Fixed Assets, Financial Reporting and Power BI.  The migration enabled cloud-based computing, better financial management, and company consolidation among its eight primary brands. The BCS Team also worked closely with the ConstructConnect Team to design and deploy a requisition automation solution using Power Automate.

The successful Dynamics GP to Business Central migration enabled ConstructConnect to have complete control over key financial business processes, from automated requisitions, to asset tracking, to financial reporting and dashboards. ConstructConnect currently has 12 Full Business Central Essential licenses and 100 Business Central Team Member licenses, and hopes to expand its cloud infrastructure even more in the future!

David Storer also shared “Thanks to the dedication of the BCS Team, ConstructConnect’s migration from Dynamics GP to Dynamics 365 Business Central was completed on time and under budget, and has provided huge advantages to our financial management. Our newly integrated Business Central environment supports workflow automation and control of indirect spend, and it provides intelligent, actionable insights that have helped us better define our business and financial close processes.”

In October 2020, Miron Violetglass USA conducted a new business system selection process, evaluating many mid-market business systems. After significant research, Miron Violetglass USA narrowed their focus on Dynamics 365 Business Central and NetSuite as the primary competitive solutions. After engaging with the team of expert consultants at Bond Consulting Services (BCS) to define a complete solution for their US distribution efforts, Miron Violetglass USA selected Business Central to be implemented by BCS as its new ERP solution.

CEO and Head of Sales, Eelco Scholtens, shared “We initially needed an ERP to replace QuickBooks.  It needed to be able to track lot numbers, manage bin locations, report forecasting and replenishment and handle shipping. It also needed to serve our future needs with CRM integration, ecommerce integration and a customer web portal to manage orders from our future webstore.  We initially considered NetSuite as an ERP option, but ultimately found Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central to be a superior ERP solution.  We also needed real-time visualization dashboards, which was solved with the implementation of Power BI.  Business Central is so user-friendly and flexible it meets all of our requirements and is definitely the best fit for us.”

The BCS Team quickly got to work implementing and deploying Dynamics 365 Business Central combined with Warehouse Insight and Dynamic Ship from Insight Works, and eBizCharge for Credit Card Processing. Leveraging Insight Works’ powerful Business Central add-ons, Miron Violetglass USA automated its distribution operations with capabilities to scan receipts, track shipments and transfers, scan inventory count, print labels, engage in carrier rate shopping and send notifications to customers. The BCS Team also customized Miron Violetglass’ Sales Quote, Order, and Invoice pages to calculate the sales price on the base unit of measure quantity to simplify the sales process and limit manual entry of data. Miron Violetglass USA is thrilled about their new automated Dynamics 365 Business Central solution.

Eelco also shared “We chose BCS to implement the Business Central solution because we could tell BCS truly cared about the needs and goals of our company, and we are so happy we did!  BCS’ diligence these past four months in customizing and integrating our Business Central environment with Warehouse Insight and Dynamic Ship has enabled us to automate our distribution operations and simplify our sales process with minimal data entry.”

Anchor Brewing is America’s first craft brewery that has been a pillar of the community and a staple of San Francisco heritage since 1896.

BCS took the time to fully understand the goals of the company as well as the desires of the employees before making any changes to their existing software in order to make the transition as simple and smooth as possible. The BCS team worked tirelessly to rapidly transition Zenlayer’s software and implement Business Central within a few months. BCS also deployed Jet Reports financial reporting and Power BI for other business reports.

BCS customized Zenlayer’s Business Central solution to enable it to better track its rapid growth and expansion of its business model by reorganizing its logical Corporate Accounting structure to reflect multiple companies, captured under a newly consolidated organization.
