In 2022, 1st Technologies implemented Microsoft Dynamics NAV as its ERP Financial system.

Configuration emphasizes inventory and stock record management, product master data and sales order processing, with financial ledger linkage for invoice and cost tracking. Microsoft Dynamics NAV is used to capture detailed part numbers and specifications, to support quality control checks on components, and to create and maintain detailed product listings that feed the companys e-commerce channels.
Operational integrations include synchronization between NAV stock records and the companys online sales platforms, and workflow coordination with engineering teams for researching and identifying new products. The implementation covers inventory, engineering, e-commerce, purchasing and finance functions at the Ribchester site, with Microsoft Dynamics NAV serving as the central system of record for inventory accuracy and order fulfillment.
Governance and process changes focus on enforcing consistent data entry standards, centralized product master maintenance, and role based access for the Inventory Administrator to ensure part number and specification accuracy. Microsoft Dynamics NAV is explicitly referenced in job responsibilities for inventory administration, reflecting the systems role in daily stock control, product data management and cross functional operations.

The cloud-based PeopleHR Core HR consolidated core HR records, time and attendance, absence management, document storage, and reporting into a single platform, with deployment focused on the HR team, team leaders, and all employees at the head office in Preston.
The implementation configured PeopleHR Core HR modules for flexible timesheets, tap in and tap out clocking, mobile self-service for employees, absence and holiday booking, and secure central document management. Configuration emphasized tailored timesheet templates and centrally stored employee records to create one source of truth for HR and people managers, and to enable on-demand reports for sickness, absence, and demographic visibility.
Integrations were implemented to reduce data silos by connecting PeopleHR Core HR with the companys internal systems, supporting automated data flows and reducing duplicate data entry. Operational coverage extended to on-site time visibility and remote mobile access, enabling employees to clock in and out and update timesheets from devices while preserving centrally managed reporting and auditability.
Governance shifted from paper based processes to system led workflows, with the HR and Compliance function using PeopleHR Core HR reporting and secure storage to improve data accuracy and transparency. Reported outcomes included reduced administrative burden, improved team productivity and connectivity, a cost effective licensing profile, and an ongoing product partnership where vendor development updates respond to user suggestions.
