Danaflex — Turkey

Danaflex, a packaging solutions manufacturer expanding production in Stambul, Turkey, required a single ERP platform to support finance, purchasing and warehouse operations for a new manufacturing site. The company selected Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central to replace fragmented spreadsheets and point systems and to ensure compliance with Turkish e-invoicing and tax reporting.
Awara IT served as the implementation partner, delivering a scoped Business Central deployment focused on Finance, Sales, Purchases & Payables, and core warehouse functionality. The project delivered standardized accounting processes, faster month-end close, improved inventory accuracy, and a compliant e-invoicing integration—enabling Danaflex to open and operate the new plant with controlled operational and financial processes.
Danaflex is a mid-market, discrete manufacturer specializing in packaging solutions. The company expanded with a new manufacturing site in Stambul (Istanbul), Turkey, serving customers across the Middle East and domestic markets. The initiative targeted operational readiness for production, local compliance and centralized financial control.
Opening a new manufacturing facility introduced short timelines and tighter operational controls. Danaflex lacked standardized ERP processes across finance, procurement and warehouse operations; teams relied on spreadsheets and disconnected tools. This created delays in invoice handling, poor inventory visibility at the new site, and a slow month-end close that hindered timely financial reporting.
Local regulatory requirements added complexity: Turkish e-invoicing (e-Fatura) and e-archive rules, VAT handling and Turkish chart of accounts needed to be embedded into the solution. The client required a rapid, low-risk implementation that would support plant start-up, integrate with barcode scanning for goods movement, and enable consistent purchasing and payables workflows.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central was selected because it aligns with mid-market manufacturing needs—providing native finance, purchasing and inventory modules, discrete manufacturing functionality and extensible integration points. Business Central offered a shorter implementation cycle than ERP alternatives and close integration with Microsoft 365 and Power Platform, which Danaflex already used for office productivity and ad hoc reporting.
Awara IT's experience with Dynamics NAV/BC implementations and Turkish localizations reduced deployment risk. The solution provided the necessary feature set for procurement, payables, warehouse transactions and basic production planning, while allowing staged adoption of more advanced manufacturing and MES integrations as the plant stabilizes.
The implementation included Turkish localization for tax and e-document requirements: e-Fatura and e-Arşiv integration, VAT posting rules, Turkish chart of accounts mapping and statutory reporting formats. User interface localization and language preferences were configured for Turkish-speaking finance and operations staff. The solution also enforced fiscal year and tax codes consistent with Turkish regulations to ensure accurate statutory reporting from day one.
The Dynamics 365 Business Central deployment provided Danaflex with a single source of truth for finance, purchasing and warehouse operations at the new Stambul site. Standardized master data and workflows reduced manual rework and eliminated reconciliations between disparate spreadsheets, shortening financial close and improving reporting cadence.
Operationally, barcode-enabled receiving and cycle counting increased inventory accuracy and reduced stock discrepancies that previously delayed production runs. Electronic invoicing and bank integrations accelerated payables processing and improved cash management—enabling Danaflex to open the plant with compliant and auditable financial controls in place.
Awara IT helped us deploy a targeted Business Central solution on a tight timeline. We achieved compliant invoicing and meaningful operational control ahead of production start‑up. — Murat Yılmaz, CFO
