The collaboration between CCL Scandinavia and Vektus

In 2024, we decided to upgrade to Business Central Cloud. We had run out of time with our existing system – NAV 2017. A system that had a lot of customizations and therefore posed a number of challenges in connection with updates, among other things.

– Mads Wiggers Birkelund, Chief Financial Officer, CCL Scandinavia

Close relationship and high professional level were crucial

“For many years, we have had a very good collaboration with Vektus, which has supported our NAV 2017 solution. The close relationship, the solid collaboration and especially the high professional level of our permanent senior consultant was a major reason why we chose Vektus for our Business Central Cloud upgrade.

At Vektus, we’ve had a regular consultant over the years who we’ve been able to call and who has always solved our challenges. For years, he has provided competent and stable support, so we had great confidence that he and Vektus could handle the task” – says Mads Wiggers Birkelund, Finance Manager at CCL Scandinavia.

Status meetings ensured progress and overview

The project has, like most Vektus projects, been managed by an experienced project manager – who has made sure to hold the necessary status meetings.

Mads Wiggers Birkelund explains:

“I was initially skeptical about the need for project management, but I must honestly admit that our regular status meetings with Vektus have been a great benefit. They have ensured progress and overview – and have helped keep the project on track. I wouldn’t have done without them.”

Most ERP projects are complex and can involve many business areas, stakeholders, challenges with historical data and ingrained workflows. It’s therefore not uncommon for ERP projects to encounter some challenges.

“As with all new ERP systems, there have been bumps and challenges along the way – including with our own data. We had some challenges with our historical data, which could not simply be transferred automatically. This was not Vektus’ fault, but challenges we had created and brought with us from the old days.

Our employees also had to get used to something new, but after a couple of months, the new system has become part of everyday life and the benefits are clear to everyone.”

The big win: we can now update without problems

“One of the biggest benefits is that we now have a system that can be updated without problems. Previously, every update meant that something broke due to our many customizations. Today, we build on standard – and it just works. Most of the customizations we had in the old system are now solved directly in standard Business Central.

All in all, the transition to Business Central Cloud and the collaboration with Vektus has been exactly as expected – a positive experience where the challenges that arose along the way have been taken care of. We have been in good hands and now have an updated, more future-proof platform and can continue our good collaboration with Vektus, who know us and whom we trust.”
