Based in Trafford Park, Pennine Precision Engineering has been a cornerstone of Manchester's industrial sector for over thirty years. However, their legacy on-premise stock database was failing to keep pace with rapid business expansion. Disjointed tracking systems meant floor managers had zero live visibility over the assembly pipeline, causing regular warehouse delays. Meanwhile, manual material reconciliation meant monthly financial statements took weeks to compile. To maintain their market-leading position, the company needed to transition from legacy spreadsheets to a unified digital architecture without halting ongoing manufacturing operations.
NetMonkeys stepped in as the strategic partner to transition the firm over to the cloud. We designed and deployed a comprehensive integration of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central in Manchester, specifically tailoring the platform to handle Pennine's intricate assembly workflows. Our engineers mapped the entire supply chain, establishing automated procurement protocols that triggered material orders based on real-time production demand. To ensure smooth adoption, we set up robust mobile terminal configurations and delivered targeted, hands-on staff training directly on the factory floor, minimizing operational downtime throughout the migration.
The modernization completely streamlined operations for Pennine Precision Engineering. By replacing disconnected spreadsheets with a central, cloud-hosted ecosystem, inventory holding costs dropped significantly, and administrative delays evaporated. Real-time dashboards now empower the executive board to make rapid, data-backed financial decisions while the warehouse floor operates with absolute accuracy.
