1.
Situation
Visibility and Reporting Challenges Posed Problems
Lacked unified data with legacy systems
Struggled with operational inefficiencies
Needed support for continued growth
Dylan’s Candy Bar, founded in 2001 by Dylan Lauren, was facing difficulties in managing its operations due to a fragmented technology structure. The company utilized multiple legacy systems including Sage MAS 90, JDS Solutions WinRetail, and a custom-built warehouse management system. Without a unified system, they couldn’t access reliable, timely data across departments. This lack of a single source of truth made it challenging to monitor key business metrics or obtain customer insights necessary for making informed decisions. As they expanded, Dylan’s not only struggled with operational inefficiencies but also encountered difficulties in inventory management and maintaining cohesive relationships with retail partners. It was clear that the existing infrastructure couldn't support Dylan’s growth trajectory or innovative goals.

This solution needed to support a wide range of functionalities including ERP, CRM, inventory management, and more, all to facilitate growth and innovation. Dylan’s needed a system that was flexible, offering customization to address unique processes and provide a comprehensive overview of business operations.
