System modernized, processes streamlined, complexity reduced: ELO relies on DYCE and Business Central
Efficient, integrated, future-proof: How ELO Digital Office modernizes its ERP with Singhammer, organizes internal workflows more efficiently and lays the foundation for further growth.
The challenge
The Stuttgart-based company ELO Digital Office GmbH, a leading manufacturer of enterprise content management (ECM) systems, was faced with a major challenge: replacing a highly individualized, outdated ERP system. In addition to the technical migration, the complexity of the internal processes, such as the billing of over 1000 software maintenance contracts with numerous articles, was a major hurdle.
The large number of individual customizations in our old Navision system was not sustainable. We wanted a modern ERP setup in the cloud that also covered our specific requirements."
Monika Diegel | Project Manager Business Central Migration at ELO Digital Business GmbH
The solution
Together with the experienced consultants from Singhammer IT Consulting AG, a comprehensive migration project was implemented in just seven and a half months. Seven specialist departments - from the ELO Academy to consulting and financial accounting - were transferred to the new cloud world of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central in a structured manner. The DYCE Subscription Billing module was used, which enabled ELO to dispense with its previous in-house solutions.
The DYCE Time Tracking app will also play an important role in the future, for example through the intuitive recording of recurring project times directly via templates based on the Outlook calendar.
We were particularly impressed by the clarity and ease of use of the DYCE solutions."

The result
The project was successfully completed on schedule - including the subsequent hypercare phase, during which Singhammer was always on hand as a reliable partner. The ELO-specific requirements were mapped using a combination of standard functionalities and targeted adaptations. The modular structure of DYCE offers great advantages:
Thanks to DYCE, we were able to replace additional software for project accounting - which makes us much leaner and more efficient. And with the new ELO integration in Business Central, we now have direct access to the customer file - without any system interruption."

The DYCE Time Tracking app was rated 4 out of 5 stars - minor optimization requests for user administration and role assignment were placed openly and constructively.
The bottom line: a strong foundation for the future
With the successful completion of the project, ELO has not only modernized its ERP system, but also set the course for a future-proof, integrated system landscape. The modular structure of DYCE, the close integration with Business Central and the open, solution-oriented collaboration with Singhammer have paved the way for more efficient processes and greater transparency in day-to-day business.
We feel very well positioned with the new solution - both technically and organizationally. The collaboration with Singhammer was always professional and based on partnership. This makes projects fun."
