Migration from C5 to Business Central Cloud

EWH BioProduction is a leading company in biological pest control and pollination.

The challenge

EWH BioProduction (EWH) faced significant challenges with their old C5 system, which could no longer meet the company’s needs. EWH was acquired by a Spanish company that uses Business Central (BC), making it natural to upgrade to this system.

We were facing an outdated system, where manual processes made our workflows slow and prone to errors. We needed a more modern and efficient solution, says Administrative Manager Lene Plambech.

The solution

Matriks proposed an upgrade from C5 to standard BC to meet EWH’s needs. The particular value of this solution is that no customizations were made to standard BC, making it a long-term solution and significantly reducing ongoing ownership costs. During this upgrade, all existing master data was migrated from C5 to BC, and an opening balance was created, as transactional data was not migrated.

Organizationally, processes were streamlined across the entire company, increasing scalability and reducing manual tasks. Financially, the upgrade led to lower costs by reducing operational and administrative expenses. Potential long-term savings were identified through improved efficiency, fewer errors, and better financial management.

With BC, we now have a streamlined system that automates our processes, reduces errors, and saves our valuable time. It has truly elevated our business, continues Lene Plambech.

The conclusion

The upgrade to BC resulted in significant improvements for EWH BioProduction. The company experienced more streamlined and efficient operations with reduced errors and costs. Integration with the Spanish company became easier, and EWH can now comply with the new accounting legislation.
