A Western Computer Case Study
LD Products, a major online retailer of printer supplies, experienced a surge in demand during the COVID-19 pandemic and found its on‑premises Microsoft Dynamics NAV environment slowed month‑to‑month financial reporting, complicated upgrades, and required difficult VPN access for its Philippines accounting team. LD Products Senior Developer and company leaders engaged Western Computer to address the need for faster financial visibility, streamlined accounting across dispersed teams, and a move of ERP financial functions to the cloud using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance.
Western Computer implemented Dynamics 365 Finance and remotely integrated sales, purchasing, warehouse and operational data from NAV, ensuring read/write endpoints and correct data models; the project was completed on‑time and on‑budget. As a result, LD Products now gets automated P&L, cash‑flow and balance‑sheet reporting throughout the month (eliminating manual pivot‑table processes), improved financial accuracy, accelerated invoicing, accounts payable and bank reconciliation, and reliable cloud access for its Philippines team.
