basic information
<Background of Introduction and Business Challenges> Initially, Shimadzu Corporation's Australian branch faced several business challenges. Firstly, the product lineup was extensive and comprised very complex products, and in addition, the sales teams were using different price lists. Moreover, the sales process involved many manual steps from quotation to system order, making it cumbersome. As the company grew, the workload increased, necessitating the hiring of more staff. Although Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales was already implemented within the company, its functionalities were not being fully utilized, leading to inefficiencies in operations. In this situation, mistakes in quotation creation due to errors in products and configurations frequently occurred, resulting in an annual loss of approximately $500,000, highlighting the need for improvements in the system.
