In 2020 Balta Group implemented Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central as its core ERP Financial platform to centralize finance and accounting functions across the organization in Belgium. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central was positioned to provide a unified financial ledger and transaction processing backbone for corporate finance and statutory reporting.
The implementation concentrated on standard ERP Financial capabilities, including general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, cash management, fixed asset accounting, and financial reporting, with configuration work to align chart of accounts and period close workflows. The project leveraged Business Central configuration and workflow features to enforce financial controls, automate journal processing, and standardize master data across business units.
Integration planning for the financial platform was oriented toward manufacturing and planning systems, informed by Balta s later IT program. In 2023 Balta initiated an IT business analyst engagement to transition planning from SAP APO to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations, with planning processes developed in the Balta MES system CIM, signaling an intended integration layer between finance, production planning, and MES at the Wielsbeke site in the Flemish Region of Belgium.
Governance established system ownership within corporate finance, formalized close and audit processes, and implemented role based access controls and controlled change processes to maintain financial master data consistency. The Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central deployment served as the financial backbone while subsequent projects addressed tighter operational integration with planning and manufacturing systems.

| SAP | Legacy | SAP Field Service Management | Field Service Management | ERP Services and Operations | Amista | 2019 | 2019 |
In 2019 Balta Group implemented SAP Field Service Management. SAP Field Service Management, categorized as Field Service Management, was deployed by Amista to centralize maintenance operations across Balta’s Belgian plants and the St-Baafs-Vijve site, covering nearly 300 internal and external technicians and expanding as needs grew.
The implementation delivered a user-friendly planning board and a mobile app for technicians, with predefined checklists, the ability to create and prioritize rush orders from the field, and drag and drop dispatching for planners. Core capabilities configured include time registration, material consumption on mobile devices, attachment and access to documentation and pictures, and support for multiple service order types to handle both curative and preventive work.
SAP Field Service Management was integrated with Balta’s SAP ERP backbone, with maintenance orders created in SAP ERP and transferred to FSM based on status, and material consumption linked to the Materials Management module. Equipment and functional location master data, stock levels, and service order types were synchronized to enable live inventory accuracy and automated posting of hours back to SAP, and an initial standard integration required adaptation before recent releases allowed removal of most custom developments.
Governance and rollout emphasized harmonization across plants, reliable on‑site connectivity, and stable mobile devices, with Balta selecting Apple iPhone for field use. Implementation partner Amista provided technical SAP expertise and a maintenance and service foundation, and Balta highlighted that user adoption and ongoing support were critical, noting that operational and management doubts and the Covid 19 situation slowed the rollout in places.
Explicit outcomes reported by Balta include better insights and more detailed time and cost registration, improved visibility into expensive equipment, standardized automated reporting and KPI delivery, digitization enabling paperless management, reduced administrative workload for the warehouse manager, and more detailed online feedback from technicians. The operational shift is illustrated by a before and after process, where printed work orders and paper time capture were replaced by mobile notifications, planner-driven approvals and planning, and automatic transmission of technician hours to SAP.

In 2020, Balta Group deployed Intuit Mailchimp as its Marketing Automation solution. Balta Group implemented Intuit Mailchimp on its public website to capture leads and manage promotional communications and subscriber engagement.
The deployment used core Intuit Mailchimp capabilities common to Marketing Automation, including embedded website signup forms, audience management and segmentation, campaign creation and scheduling, and web tracking for behavioral targeting. Intuit Mailchimp serves as the primary marketing outreach engine for email campaigns and subscriber lifecycle tasks.
Architecture relied on Mailchimp's cloud SaaS model with direct integration to the corporate website via embedded forms and tracking scripts, enabling real time list growth and campaign attribution tied to site interactions. Operational ownership centered on marketing and e-commerce teams responsible for campaign execution, list hygiene, and lifecycle messaging.
Governance and process changes focused on centralized campaign approval, role based access for marketing users, standardized segmentation and consent management, and alignment of unsubscribe and compliance workflows with email regulations. The implementation positioned Intuit Mailchimp to support Balta Group Marketing Automation needs across digital marketing and customer engagement functions.
