Client Overview
The client is a global biosensor company and world leader in electrochemical cell technology, developing patented test strips for hand-held portable analysers used across human health, animal health, environmental, and agricultural industries. After acquiring the assets of a former ASX-listed company, the client inherited a Business Central environment that no longer matched its operations, prompting a full implementation on a new tenant.

Client Testimonial
Business Central go-live has been a very important milestone for us. There have been a lot of moving parts, including master data, process questions, user training, cutover activities and many last-minute clarifications, and the team's patience and responsiveness have made a real difference. We know there has been a lot of work happening behind the scenes and we appreciate everyone's hard work, patience and commitment in supporting us through this transition.
