From Navision to Business Central in three months

When Begravelse Danmark faced a modernization of their ERP platform, the goal was clear: a future-proof solution in the cloud that could handle complex and business-critical integrations – without compromising stability and operations. In collaboration with Matriks, an ambitious migration from Navision 2018 to Business Central Cloud was completed in just three months.

A complex integration task::

The project distinguished itself from many other ERP implementations by having an extraordinary focus on integrations. For Begravelse Danmark, the integrations are not merely supportive – they are directly business-critical.

Several central systems needed to work closely together:

• Addio – A funeral director system that automatically creates cases, orders, and debtors in Business Central. A crucial integration, as the majority of sales are initiated from here.
• BedreBegravelse – Webshop and complete solution for relatives, which is an integrated part of the business.
• Payroll system – Handling of employee data and payroll processes.
• Continia – With solutions such as Banking, Document Output, and Payment Management for efficient financial management.

The integrations generate large volumes of data and are interdependent, which placed high demands on both architecture and implementation.

"Their understanding of our integration landscape was crucial. Everything works together today, and that gives us a completely different peace of mind in our operations." says Thomas Sølvsten, CFO of Begravelse Danmark.

A project model with presence and insight:

To ensure a successful implementation, Matriks chose an approach with a high degree of physical presence at Begravelse Danmark.

By working closely with Begravelse Danmark in their daily environment, it became possible to:

• Achieve deep understanding of workflows and processes
• Identify optimization opportunities on an ongoing basis
• Create a strong collaboration based on trust and insight

This approach has not only been crucial for the project itself, but also for the future collaboration and continued development.

"It made a huge difference that Matriks was physically present with us. They immersed themselves in our everyday work and challenged us in the right areas." says Thomas.

A customer with ambitions and willingness to change:

Begravelse Danmark has been a central contributor to the project's success. The organization demonstrated great readiness for change and a clear ambition to improve both systems and processes.

Their understanding of the differences between the old and the new system created a solid foundation for the implementation – and made it possible to make the right decisions along the way.

"Matriks has been extremely proactive throughout the entire project. They quickly understood our business and continuously came up with suggestions that improved our processes – not just our system." Thomas continues.

The result:

In just three months, Begravelse Danmark was successfully migrated to Business Central Cloud – with all integrations fully functional and optimized for their business.

The result is a modern, scalable platform that supports both current needs and future growth.

"We didn't just experience a vendor – but a partner who took responsibility for ensuring we reached the finish line successfully." Thomas concludes.

Ready for the next step:

With a strong platform and a close collaboration with Matriks, Begravelse Danmark is now well equipped to continue working on optimizations and digital development.
