This fast-growing collision repair provider has earned a reputation for delivering high-quality service, strong technician training, and a customer-first approach. With continued national expansion and a recent acquisition of another collision repair company, the organization needed to modernize and unify its financial systems to support long-term growth and operational excellence.
Customer: One of the fastest-growing collision repair providers in the United States, operating hundreds of auto body shops across the country.
Industry: Collision repair and services
Region(s): North America
Products and services: Dynamics 365 FinanceFollowing the acquisition of another collision repair business, this customer engaged Sunrise to consolidate both companies onto Dynamics 365 and optimize its business processes. Although both organizations were happy with Dynamics 365 as the ERP platform, they knew a few tweaks could lead to even greater productivity:
The organization deployed Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance as the core of its financial operations, supporting multi-entity consolidation and standardized processes across the enterprise. The system was implemented on time and under budget in just five months, despite an accelerated schedule.
Electronic Reporting was used to automate bank integrations, eliminating manual file transfers and reducing processing time for high-volume transactions. A key integration was developed to facilitate transactions from the shop floor to Dynamics 365, ensuring accuracy and reducing manual entry. The existing BYODB solution was replaced with Azure Data Lake, improving access to real-time reporting and analytics.
Additionally, a new tool was introduced to help the accounts payable team more accurately reconcile vendor invoices, saving several hours of manual work each week.
With Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance, the organization now operates on a centralized, scalable financial platform that supports its growing footprint across the U.S. Nightly financial data imports—once time-consuming—now process thousands of records in just minutes. Standardized processes and unified security roles support a shared services finance model, driving consistency and operational efficiency across the business.
The project was delivered on time and under budget, and over 90 users were trained to ensure successful adoption. With a modern, high-performing ERP foundation in place, the organization is well-positioned to continue its rapid growth and integration strategy with confidence and control.
