| Microsoft | IBM AS/400 | Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations | ERP Financial | ERP Financial Management | Sikich | 2020 | 2021 |
In 2020, AMF Bakery Systems implemented Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations as its ERP Financial platform, replacing IBM AS/400 and a set of disparate on-premises applications. Sikich served as the implementation partner, working with AMF to align the Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations configuration to the companys global manufacturing and service footprint that includes offices and production sites across the United States, Canada, Central and South America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia/New Zealand.
The deployment centered on unifying project-centric and discrete manufacturing flows, combining project work breakdown structure and project resource management with core discrete production capabilities such as MRP planning, Bills of Materials, and Routes so MRP can be executed by project. A new PLM component was introduced to enable revision management and a seamless CAD to shop floor handoff, and warehouse and shop floor automation was implemented with enterprise barcode scanning to standardize transactions and reduce manual errors.
Architecturally the solution moved AMF toward a cloud ERP posture with Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations at the core, integrated with a CRM based Field Service module to provide lifecycle visibility from delivery through installation and ongoing service. Integrations explicitly executed included the PLM to ERP bridge for design change propagation, CAD integration to manufacturing execution, and barcode scanning systems for warehouse and shop floor control, all designed to provide vertical and horizontal visibility across product lifecycles.
Governance and process transformation focused on tightening engineering to manufacturing workflows, formalizing revision control so engineering changes push to the shop floor, and aligning operational processes to how AMF manages project-style builds. Outcomes reported by AMF included reduced investment in on-premises hardware and lower maintenance and support costs, increased operational efficiency, fewer transaction errors due to scanning automation, and employees empowered with a modern toolset, with ongoing engagement planned with Microsoft and Sikich for future investments.

| Microsoft | Legacy | Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service | Field Service Management | ERP Services and Operations | Sikich | 2020 | 2021 |
In 2020, AMF Bakery Systems implemented Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service to centralize and manage the service lifecycle for its high-speed bakery equipment, aligning the deployment with their broader Dynamics 365 platform work. The Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service deployment is positioned as the Field Service Management component of AMF’s connected operations strategy, intended to provide end-to-end visibility from delivery to installation and ongoing field servicing.
The implementation configured core Field Service Management capabilities including work order management, asset and installed base tracking, technician scheduling and resource assignments, parts management, and service contract visibility. Sikich led the configuration to reflect AMF’s engineer-to-order equipment model, and the solution was tuned to support project oriented workflows so service activities map back to project work breakdown structures and project resource management.
Integrations were a central design requirement, the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service module was integrated with Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations to provide lifecycle visibility and financial context, and it was connected to the PLM solution to ensure product revisions and CAD outputs flow into service and shop floor records. Warehouse and shop floor barcode automation were incorporated to streamline parts transactions and field provisioning, and the overall integration approach tied MRP by project, Bills of Materials, and routing into service readiness and spare parts planning.
Governance and process restructuring focused on strengthening the handoff between engineering and manufacturing, formalizing revision management to reduce translation errors to the shop floor, and aligning service workflows with project management controls. Sikich implemented configuration and workflow rules that enabled seamless transfers of asset and service data between CAD, PLM, ERP, and Field Service, supporting consistent operational processes across engineering, manufacturing, warehouse, and field service teams.
AMF reported explicit operational outcomes from the implementation, including reduced investment in on-premises hardware and support, improved transactional accuracy through barcode scanning automation, and greater cross-functional visibility into product lifecycle and portfolio profitability. AMF’s CIO and CFO characterized the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service deployment as a key component of their strategy to present a single customer view and to empower employees with modern service tools.
