Successful Design and Manufacturing Company Makes a Rapid Switch to Business Central

Since 2005, J28 Design has been providing innovative mounting systems to a broad range of vehicle makes such as Lexus, BMW, and Cadillac. J28’s specialty BlendMount product line provides a mounting solution for radar detectors in over 45 vehicle makes. J28 consistently impresses its customers by using state-of-the-art machinery to produce the highest quality automotive parts. The manufacturing company also prides itself on strict quality control as the J28 management staff directs every step in the mount creation process.

Since its conception, J28 has skyrocketed in sales and growth which has put increased pressure on the company’s internal systems. Recently, J28 decided to ditch its old software for a new and improved cloud solution, and trusted Bond Consulting Services (BCS) to be its partner throughout the process. The J28 Team desired a rapid transition from QuickBooks to Dynamics 365 Business Central with important modules such as Sales, Purchasing, Inventory, Assembly, General Ledger, Bank Reconciliation, Financial Reporting and Power BI.

BCS was ahead of schedule and quickly deployed the customized solution to streamline J28 Design’s business operations and production. The BCS Team leveraged the migration utility to convert the master files from QuickBooks into Business Central. The BCS Team also provided essential training for the various modules and features such as Sales Orders, Sales Invoices, Accounts Payable, Inventory, Bank Reconciliation and Assembly BOMs. J28 Design’s Power BI Content Pack was configured with their instance to provide rich and interactive visuals to easily gather actionable insights with embedded AI. BCS developed and tested the customized modules to ensure they fit the needs and desires of J28 Design, before implementing the solution. The J28 Design Team is very happy with their Business Central environment and has been using it for the last several months to streamline their operations and enhance their automotive machinery production.

Mike Giordano, President of J28 Design shared: “We were thrilled that the BCS Team was ahead of schedule for our Business Central migration, and we are very excited to utilize the new features and capabilities included in the Microsoft cloud platform.”

BCS has enjoyed working closely with J28 Design and their excellent team, and we look forward to providing ongoing configuration consulting and support for their Dynamics 365 environment long into the future!
