A Swedish maker of premium shirts
Eton Shirts is a Swedish manufacturer of premium shirts, founded in 1928 in Gånghester. Today the company is a global leader in its segment, with stores and points of sale in more than 50 countries, including some of the most exclusive department stores in the world.
Project Description
Eton Shirts uses Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations as its main ERP system. As its sales channels grew (retail, consignment and e-commerce) and warehouse and logistics operations became more complex, the system’s standard functionality was no longer sufficient. The company needed the platform extended and adapted to its specific processes.
ANEGIS delivered a project covering software development, improvements to standard Dynamics 365 functionality, and the building of dedicated tools and integrations. The work was carried out in close cooperation with Microsoft on improving the platform’s standard mechanisms.
Challenge
- Insufficient integration of Dynamics 365 with the Azure SQL data warehouse (BYOD) and the OData protocol
- Manual creation of intercompany sales orders for different warehouse rules
- No tool for managing flow journals from consignment and e-commerce orders
- Limited capabilities for reporting changes in available inventory and product attributes
- No support for custom report layouts with the external K3 Software Fashion module
- Slow key data imports slowing down migration processes
- No integration with the returns and shipment handling process through external systems
Solution
- Improvement of data entities to integrate Dynamics 365 with the Azure SQL database (BYOD) and the OData protocol, enabling smooth data flow to the data warehouse.
- Automation of intercompany sales order creation for different warehouse rules, eliminating manual work.
- Development of a tool for managing flow journals from consignment and e-commerce orders.
- Excel integration for creating return orders using a barcode scanner.
- Development of an interface to an external logistics system, transmitting shipment information via web services.
- Development of a mechanism for reporting changes in available inventory and product attribute values.
- Preparation of custom layouts for key reports using the external K3 Software Fashion module, and introduction of reports with a configurable layout.
- Analysis of migration process performance and speeding up of the slowest key data imports.
- Cooperation with Microsoft on improving standard Dynamics 365 functionality.
Benefit
- Automated creation of intercompany sales orders eliminates manual work in handling different warehouse rules.
- Full integration with the Azure SQL data warehouse ensures a consistent flow of information between systems.
- A dedicated tool for managing flows from consignment and e-commerce channels brings order to order handling.
- Faster data imports shorten migration process times.
- Reports tailored to the fashion industry thanks to integration with the K3 Software Fashion module.
- Efficient handling of returns and shipments thanks to integration with external logistics systems.
