ERP Excellence: How The Lindner Group Transformed with Microsoft Dynamics 365

For years, The Lindner Group had relied on Microsoft AX 2012 to run its core processes. While the system had served them well, it was becoming outdated, fragmented, and increasingly difficult to maintain.

• Disconnected Processes: Sales, procurement, finance, logistics, and project data were scattered across different silos, leading to duplication of work and errors.
• Field Inefficiencies: Project managers on site often relied on handwritten notes for material orders. If notes were misplaced, orders were delayed, and projects slowed down.
• Limited Visibility: Leadership lacked real time insights into costs, inventory, and project status. Forecasting was reactive instead of proactive.
• End of Support: With Microsoft announcing the end of AX 2012, the company faced the risk of disruptions, compliance issues, and loss of competitive edge.

“We knew our old system could not keep up with the scale of our operations anymore,” recalls Anna Fischer, Director of Group Services. “It was not just about upgrading software. It was about rethinking how we worked.”

The Lindner Group turned to Woxro, a trusted digital transformation partner, to lead the full cycle implementation of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. The goal was not only to replace an old ERP but to create a unified digital backbone for the company.

With Business Central, all critical functions from procurement and finance to logistics and project management now flow through a single cloud based platform. Real time data ensures accuracy, and master records are updated instantly across departments.

“Before, ordering materials required a trip back to the office, and by then delays had already started,” says Fischer. “Now, it takes just a few taps on a mobile app. We have accurate inventory data, and materials arrive exactly when needed. That is a huge difference.”

The ERP implementation was not only about technology. It was about empowering people. Woxro and Lindner organized more than one hundred training sessions to ensure staff across Europe felt confident using the new system

No large scale IT transformation comes without obstacles. Migrating decades of financial and operational data to a cloud based ERP, customizing mobile solutions, and aligning thousands of employees across multiple countries posed serious challenges.

• Disconnected Processes: Sales, procurement, finance, logistics, and project data were scattered across different silos, leading to duplication of work and errors.
• Employee Adoption: Some employees were hesitant to change. Training, workshops, and clear communication helped overcome resistance
• Project Scale: A project of this size risked overruns in time and budget. Strong planning and open collaboration between Woxro and Lindner kept everything on track.

Fischer reflects, “We stayed on schedule and within budget, which is rare in projects like this. The success was not just about the technology but the partnership. With Woxro, we felt like we had teammates who truly understood us.”

Today, The Lindner Group runs on a modern and scalable ERP system that unifies its operations and supports strategic growth. The company has reduced errors, improved productivity, and gained the visibility it needs to lead in a competitive market.

“This project was not only about replacing a system,” says Fischer. “It was about creating a foundation for the future. With Dynamics 365 and Woxro, we are stronger, more agile, and ready for the next decades of growth.”
