The client operates a sales-driven organisation with a rapidly expanding network of internal sales teams and external agents. As the business scaled, managing sales operations, inventory, and procurement became increasingly complex.

At the core of their operations was Microsoft Navision, which handled inventory and ERP functions effectively. However, the surrounding sales and operational workflows relied on multiple third-party tools, creating fragmentation, higher costs, and operational inefficiencies.

The client’s objective was clear:
to scale sales and operations efficiently without replacing their existing ERP investment.

The Challenge: Fragmented Systems and Rising Operational Costs

As sales volume and team size grew, the existing setup began to show limitations:

• Adding and managing multiple salespeople and agents within the ERP was difficult

• Sales and operations teams depended on multiple third-party tools

• Operational costs increased due to tool sprawl and manual coordination

• There was no single system to manage sales, inventory, and operational workflows

• Sales orders lacked real-time inventory alignment, increasing operational risk

The absence of a single, unified console made it difficult to maintain visibility, control costs, and ensure smooth coordination between sales, inventory, and procurement teams.

Why the Existing ERP Setup Was No Longer Sufficient

While Microsoft Navision remained reliable for core ERP and inventory management, it was not designed to support dynamic, sales-driven workflows at scale.

Sales teams required real-time access to inventory data, faster order placement, and intuitive interfaces—capabilities that could not be efficiently achieved through ERP customization alone.

Replacing the ERP was not a viable option due to cost, risk, and disruption.

What the client needed instead was a custom extension around the ERP—one that could centralise operations while continuing to leverage Navision as the system of record.

Euphoric Thought’s Approach

Euphoric Thought approached the problem with an ERP-centric modernisation strategy. Rather than altering or replacing the ERP, the focus was on building a custom cloud-based platform that would sit on top of Microsoft Navision and unify all sales and operational workflows.

The approach prioritised:

• A single-console architecture for all sales and operations users

• Real-time integration with Microsoft Navision for inventory and order data

• Ease of use for sales teams and strong control for operations

• Scalability to onboard additional salespeople and agents seamlessly

This ensured the solution aligned with both current operational needs and future growth.

The Solution: A Unified Sales and Operations Platform

Euphoric Thought delivered a custom cloud-based solution that acted as a single point of interaction for sales, operations, and inventory teams.

Key capabilities included:

• A centralised console to manage all sales and operational activities

• Real-time sales order placement based on live inventory data from Microsoft Navision

• Seamless data synchronisation between the platform and the ERP

• Role-based access for salespeople, agents, and operational users

This eliminated the need for multiple third-party tools and significantly reduced operational complexity.

Indent Management and Inventory Coordination

A critical component of the solution was a reliable indent management system, tightly integrated with inventory and procurement workflows.

The platform enabled:

• End-to-end tracking of indents for inventory and procurement

• Clear visibility into request status, approvals, and fulfillment

• Improved coordination between sales, inventory, and procurement teams

• Reduced manual follow-ups and operational delays

This brought structure and transparency to inventory-related decision-making, which had previously been fragmented across tools and teams.

Real-Time Dashboards and Actionable Insights

To support faster and more informed decision-making, Euphoric Thought implemented custom dashboards that interacted directly with Microsoft Navision.

These dashboards:

• Aggregated sales, inventory, and operational data

• Presented insights through intuitive visualisations

• Reduced reliance on manual reports and data exports

• Enabled real-time monitoring of key metrics

The result was improved visibility across teams and quicker response to operational changes.

Business Outcomes and Benefits

Following implementation, the client achieved measurable improvements across cost, efficiency, and control:

• Reduced overall operational costs by eliminating multiple third-party tools

• Faster and more accurate sales order processing

• Improved inventory utilisation and procurement tracking

• Better coordination between sales and operations teams

• Real-time insights that improved decision-making and efficiency

The platform delivered both cost optimisation and performance improvement, without disrupting the existing ERP environment.

Strategic Impact

Beyond immediate operational gains, the solution positioned the client for long-term scalability:

• Seamless onboarding of new salespeople and agents

• Stronger alignment between sales, inventory, and procurement

• A unified operational foundation ready for future growth and innovation

• Increased confidence in scaling sales without operational risk

What was once a fragmented system evolved into a cohesive, enterprise-ready platform.

Why This Case Matters for ERP-Driven Enterprises

This case demonstrates a practical path for enterprises facing similar challenges:

• ERP systems do not need to be replaced to scale operations

• A unified, ERP-integrated platform can reduce cost and complexity

• Extending ERP with custom cloud solutions delivers faster ROI and lower risk

For organisations struggling with sales operations, inventory visibility, or tool sprawl, this approach offers a proven alternative to full ERP replacement.
