Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Localization for Kazakhstan in 2 Months

Discuss your project

Customer: NDA
Industry: Distribution

When entering the Kazakhstan market, an international company needed to preserve the management and reporting standards used by its headquarters while fully complying with local requirements. Awara IT implemented a localized Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central solution in 2 months and provided headquarters with transparent access to local business data.

About the Client

An international trader specializing in mineral fertilizers. The company’s headquarters is located in the Netherlands and already operates on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Client Challenge

When entering the Kazakhstan market, the company faced a common challenge for international businesses: replicating established business processes in a new country while maintaining global management standards and fully complying with local requirements.

•

Implement Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central in Kazakhstan using the same ERP platform as headquarters.

•

Maintain a unified chart of accounts and familiar management reporting formats, including P&L and Balance Sheet.

•

Provide a multilingual interface, including Russian.

•

Integrate the solution with 1C:ZUP.

•

Support a full cycle of interaction with Kazakhstan banks, including payment import and export.

Before Implementation

The Kazakhstan operations were running on 1C. While accounting was formally in place, management reporting remained a “black box” for headquarters.

•

Management lacked full transparency into the data included in reports.

•

Headquarters had no real-time operational visibility.

•

Data consolidation required manual work, increasing both effort and the risk of errors.

This Case Is Relevant If

•

Your headquarters already operates on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

•

You are opening or planning to open an entity in Kazakhstan.

•

You want to eliminate manual consolidation of reports from 1C and Excel.

•

You want to launch a new entity in 2–3 months rather than 6 months or more.

Solution

Instead of building a custom localization from scratch, Awara IT proposed a ready-to-use localized Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central solution. For the business, this meant lower project risk and faster time-to-value.

The Kazakhstan localization is Microsoft-certified and published in Microsoft AppSource. It includes local functionality such as tax reporting, bank formats, integration with 1C:ZUP and a Russian-language interface.

•

Deployed the ready-made localized Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central solution.

•

Migrated opening balances.

•

Implemented the required local integrations.

•

Trained users to work with the new system.

Implementation Time

2 months instead of 6+ months

Using the ready-made localization enabled a significantly faster launch compared with developing a full localization from scratch.

Results

•

Headquarters gained real-time access to clear and standardized management reports.

•

All Kazakhstan operations are now managed in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

•

Users were trained to work with the new system.

•

Local teams work in a convenient Russian-language interface.

What’s Next

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central can scale together with the customer’s business. New offices, integrations and users can be added to a unified ERP environment without reimplementing the system.

The customer is considering consolidating all subsidiaries on a single Dynamics 365 Business Central platform. With the ready-made localization, each new entity can be launched in 2–3 months instead of 6 months or more.
