Interra USA's Successful Implementation of Microsoft Dynamics 365

Interra USA, the American subsidiary of JK Holdings, has recently accomplished a significant milestone by effectively implementing Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (D365BC) in just six months, aided by the guidance of Claudio Co., Ltd. This achievement is poised to strengthen the company’s global operations and drive efficiency.

Background of the Implementation

JK Holdings, headquartered in Koto City, Tokyo, Japan, operates in ten global locations, facing increasing complexity in its operations due to rapid growth. To address the challenges stemming from systems and operational rule discrepancies, the company has identified the urgent need to enhance operational efficiency. As a strategic decision, JK Holdings decided to implement D365BC, starting with its American subsidiary, Interra USA, located in Seattle.

The primary goals of the implementation were to eliminate dependency on specific personnel, ensure compliance with local tax regulations, and streamline decision-making through enhanced data utilization. The integration of D365BC enables the consolidation of previously scattered departmental data, significantly reducing reliance on individual employees while improving the accuracy of tax compliance at the federal and state levels.

Post-Implementation Benefits

With the successful launch of D365BC, Interra USA has centralized its data related to sales, inventory, procurement, and expenses. As a result, both management and team members now have instant access to necessary information, drastically cutting down the time spent on manual calculations and verification tasks. Moreover, by integrating D365BC with the tax calculation package Avalara, the company has automated tax calculations, thereby minimizing human errors that could lead to incorrect billing.

The automation and standardization of workflows have allowed employees to concentrate on their creative responsibilities rather than repetitive tasks. This improved efficiency has significantly enhanced overall productivity and decision-making speed across the organization.

Statements from Key Executives

Wada Tsutomu, President of Interra USA:
“The introduction of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is a crucial move for our company as we strive for expanded global operations. It has enabled us to standardize operations, centrally manage data, and enhance our compliance structure, all while allowing us to automate complex processes such as tax rates and foreign exchange handling. This foundation supports our ability to make timely and accurate decisions, which is vital for our continued growth.”

Naoya Oikawa, Leader of Consolidated Accounting Department at JK Holdings:
“This implementation has allowed us to confront and tackle previously overlooked operational issues directly, charting a clear path toward improvement. Achieving our operational management foundation in just six months has been a significant accomplishment, boosting our team’s confidence. We're inspired by this successful experience and eager to build a strong foundation across all global locations with the continued support of Claudio.”
