Dynamics 365 Finance & SCM for D42: 5-week go-live across Turkey & UAE

D42, a regional distributor and retailer in the consumer goods sector, faced an investor-driven requirement to operationalize a modern finance and supply chain platform within weeks. Awara IT was engaged as the implementation partner to deliver a ready-to-use Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & SCM solution that automated contracting, invoicing and payments and provided a compliant foundation for rapid expansion.

Awara IT delivered core finance and procurement processes in five weeks, meeting the investor deadline and producing measurable cash-flow improvements within the first month. The engagement prioritized fast configuration, local statutory compliance across Turkey and the UAE, and connectors to banking and e-invoicing channels to ensure immediate business value and a standardized template for future sites.

Müşteri / Sektör / Ülke

D42 is a mid-market distribution company specializing in retail and consumer goods, operating across Turkey and the UAE in the Middle East. The business serves retail channels and wholesale customers and required a regional, scalable finance and supply chain platform to support growth and investor expectations.

İş zorluğu

Investors required a swift, low‑risk digital transformation to standardize financial and procurement processes before further capital allocation. D42 had fragmented processes across locations: manual contracting, delayed invoicing, paper-based approvals and inconsistent payment reconciliation. These issues produced late collections, poor visibility into working capital, and slowed decision-making.

The project deadline was aggressive: the board demanded a functional deployment within six weeks. The IT landscape needed a ready-to-use, low-customization configuration that would deliver rapid ROI while meeting statutory reporting and e-invoicing requirements in Turkey and the UAE. The challenge combined technical integration, process redesign, and strict timeline and compliance constraints.

Neden Dynamics 365 seçildi

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & SCM was selected for its integrated finance and supply‑chain capabilities, strong localization options for both Turkey and the UAE, and native compatibility with Microsoft 365 and Azure AD. The product allowed D42 to consolidate general ledger, accounts payable/receivable and procurement in a single platform with role-based security and cloud management.

The decision prioritized a fast, repeatable deployment template that could be extended to new locations. Dynamics 365's SaaS model, built-in electronic reporting frameworks, and extensibility through Power Platform and Azure Logic Apps made it the pragmatic choice to meet the investor timeline while ensuring compliance and future scalability. Awara IT was engaged to provide rapid configuration and local regulatory expertise.

Yerelleştirme ve uyumluluk

Awara IT configured Dynamics 365 Finance & SCM to meet Turkish statutory requirements — including e-Fatura/e-Arşiv formatting, VAT rules, and local chart of accounts mapping — and the UAE's VAT reporting and e-invoicing expectations. Localization included language considerations (Turkish and English) for finance users and statutory XML/API mappings for government exchanges. Legal report templates and audit trails were delivered to satisfy local auditors and investor scrutiny.

İş değeri

The implementation delivered immediate operational benefits: faster invoicing, reduced days sales outstanding and a measurable reduction in finance processing costs. Rapid automation of contracting and payments improved cash flow within the first month and satisfied investor timelines, enabling planned capital deployment.

Beyond the short-term gains, D42 now has a standardized, compliant Dynamics 365 Finance & SCM template that reduces rollout effort for additional sites, improves auditability, and centralizes procurement and inventory visibility. These outcomes position the company to scale more cost‑effectively across the Middle East while maintaining statutory compliance.
