Migrate Glow Naturals to Dynamics 365 Business Central
Overview
What this challenge is about.
Map Glow Naturals' order-to-cash and procure-to-pay workflows, then define data migration rules for Business Central. Earn your verifiable certificate.
The scenario
Glow Naturals is a venture-backed direct-to-consumer cosmetics brand in Bangalore that scaled from a founder-led operation to 80 staff and 2,000+ daily orders while still running finance on spreadsheets and a basic accounting package. The mismatch between a fast-growing operation and fragmented back-office systems is exactly the situation documented in the case file you have been given.
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
How can Glow Naturals move from fragmented spreadsheets and basic accounting onto an integrated ERP platform within four months and a fixed budget, without disrupting daily order fulfilment?
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Translate a real company's current workflows into clear as-is process maps and a redesigned to-be model in an ERP context.
- Derive concrete data migration rules by inspecting actual legacy data quality problems rather than assuming clean inputs.
- Configure core Dynamics 365 Business Central finance and inventory settings and justify each against a documented business need.
- Build a phased, risk-aware project plan that honours fixed budget, timeline, and uptime constraints.
- Communicate a migration recommendation persuasively to a non-technical executive audience.
