A large and very diverse owner of full-service franchised restaurants and motel/hotel chains attributes much of the company’s progress and success to the greater operational visibility and control offered when utilizing Microsoft Dynamics GP for finance, human resources, and payroll. The company has continued to grow through strategic acquisitions and by investing in widely recognized franchise brands. Microsoft Dynamics GP offers the robust platform the company requires to run this large and growing Michigan-based organization.
As a long-standing, loyal customer for almost 15 years, this company has counted on The TM Group to provide business consulting, training, upgrade support, and a variety of technological projects and services related to Microsoft Dynamics GP ERP system. The company also has several custom-developed business applications that The TM Group has integrated to Microsoft Dynamics GP using a methodology that makes upgrades very smooth, without any performance issues—“textbook perfect.”
During the recent economic downturn, this company’s corporate home office reduced staffing slightly. With Microsoft Dynamics GP, however, the company was actually able to do more with fewer people. One important and useful tool they utilized was SmartLists, which offered better access to more data within the organization, facilitating quicker and better ad hoc decision making. Other add-ons or ISV (independent software vendor) solutions that were implemented include:
- Greenshades (www.greenshades.com), an Online Employee Self-Service Solution and Payroll Tax Service for Dynamics GP was added to streamline the company’s payroll process.
- Nolan Business Solutions (www.nolanbusinesssolutions.com) is known for its Inter-Company Postings for Microsoft Dynamics GP. This program is ideal for a variety of corporations that need to create balanced entries between companies or between accounts.
- A project on the horizon for 2014 will be to migrate and convert the team from FRx to Management Reporter with MS Dynamics GP 2013. This will make a huge impact on the company’s financials, both simplifying and modernizing its business reporting processes.
We would be very pleased to discuss an innovative solution for your growing business. It’s hard to believe that year-end is just a couple of months away, but we are here to help you simplify and streamline your business processes.
