Solution Needs
A customer of NexTec Group requested assistance going from their manual, Excel-based accounting system to Microsoft Dynamics SL. The implementation included financial, distribution, and project modules, as well as integration with their legacy system. Many of the customer’s business processes were not documented, which left the company at risk if employee turnover occurred. The new solution needed to provide structure and flexibility for the customer’s complex business processes, had to be understood by the customer’s employees and needed to be well documented. Due to a high demand for their services, NexTec identified a need for additional resources and decided that hiring additional staff would not meet the tight deadline for this project.

Plumbline Solutions was able to offer implementation, report writing, and training expertise that NexTec needed. NexTec Group’s decision to collaborate with Plumbline Solutions enabled them to meet their customer’s needs and expectations and to drive the project to successful completion.

Customizing for Success
Working with NexTec Group, Plumbline Solutions provided on-site project assistance to complete the implementation. Plumbline Solutions created a custom production report that helped the customer track all open commodity positions of sulphur purchases, inventory, and sales. The report allowed the customer to quickly determine the items’ location, quantity, and open position. Plumbline Solutions also created business process flow documentation that helped the customer train their staff.
At Plumbline Solutions, success is measured by the final deliverable and the relationships that are formed. Plumbline Solutions is not a “temp agency.” Plumbline Solutions is a partner in your endeavor, delivering excellence on every engagement, always with the customer in mind.
