Tenax is an Italian multinational company specializing in solutions for the construction industry and natural and industrial stone surfaces. With a presence in over 90 countries, the company needed to ensure that its operations in Latin America had the same level of efficiency and control as its other global units.
To achieve this, the company sought a robust ERP solution that would allow it to standardize financial processes, integrate strategic areas and ensure compliance with various tax laws. Nexer was chosen to lead the implementation of Microsoft Dynamics AX in the region, bringing significant gains in productivity and cost reduction.
Challenge: decentralized operations and difficulties of integrated management
Prior to the project, Tenax operated with different systems and processes across its Latin American units. This made it difficult to obtain consolidated visibility of financial data, generated rework, and increased the risk of tax inconsistencies. The lack of an integrated platform also negatively impacted decision-making and alignment with the global parent company.
The company needed to modernize its technological structure to ensure efficiency, agility, and regional compliance.
“We chose Azure and Nexer because we didn’t have the internal know-how to manage and support this type of technology and we didn’t want to increase our costs by hiring professionals for the subsidiary teams. In this sense, the cloud infrastructure offers a complete service, always up to date, without the need to make predictions about licensing or infrastructure updates. Another highlight is that Nexer helped us not only to implement Dynamics AX in Brazil, but also in predicting the amounts we need to invest in Azure and its management. Nexer is recognized by Microsoft for its expertise in understanding how two solutions complement each other.”
need for standardization and scalability
After an in-depth diagnosis carried out by the Nexer team, bottlenecks were identified in the purchasing, accounting and tax control processes. In addition to the lack of integration, the old systems limited the scalability of operations and required constant manual interventions. It was essential to standardize processes and prepare the technological infrastructure to support Tenax’s future growth in the region.
Solution: Dynamics AX implementation with regional focus
Nexer led the implementation of Microsoft Dynamics AX in conjunction with the Azure platform, ensuring a secure, reliable cloud infrastructure adapted to the tax requirements of Latin America.
Choosing Azure allowed for reduced local infrastructure costs, increased system availability and easier updates. With this, Tenax was able to unify its financial operations on a modern platform, with secure remote access and consistent performance in all countries in the region.
Results: economy, integration and scalability
With the new solution in operation, Tenax achieved:
– 36% reduction in regional operating costs
– Greater control over financial and tax processes
– Elimination of rework with automation of manual routines
– Greater integration between Latin American units
– Capacity for expansion based on a solid technological structure
