Objective
Essentra embarked on a global Microsoft Dynamics 365 (D365) rollout to harmonize financials, supply chain, and warehouse operations across its regional divisions. The main goal was to replace fragmented legacy systems, improve data integrity, and streamline global business processes under one unified ERP environment. BTTIBD was selected to lead the quality assurance, testing automation, and performance validation phases to ensure a smooth, risk-free deployment.
- Validate multi-country configurations across Finance, Procurement, and Warehousing
- Automate regression and integration testing to reduce time-to-release
- Ensure clean and accurate data migration from legacy systems
- Support compliance with internal audit, financial, and regulatory standardss
Solution
BTTIBD’s D365-certified consultants developed a tailored QA and automation framework optimized for Essentra’s manufacturing and logistics workflows. Using Tricentis Tosca and Azure DevOps Pipelines, the team executed automated regression testing across multiple modules, while parallel testing ensured regional configurations met global requirements.
Key Deliverables
Data validation scripts were integrated to maintain consistency throughout migration cycles, and a centralized test reporting dashboard provided real-time visibility for stakeholders. Performance testing was conducted to guarantee that the system could handle Essentra’s global transaction load efficiently, even during peak operational periods.
Results
The project achieved full deployment across 25+ countries with zero post-go-live critical defects. Automation cut regression testing time by 45%, while manual effort was reduced by 30%. Data consistency improved significantly, providing executives with real-time insight into supply chain and financial performance.
The D365 solution unified Essentra’s core operations, enhanced interdepartmental collaboration, and established a scalable platform for continued digital transformation. BTTIBD’s proactive testing approach ensured not only a successful implementation but also long-term operational stability and compliance across Essentra’s global network.
