| Sage | Legacy | Sage 200 | ERP Financial | ERP | n/a | 2013 | 2013 |
In 2013, Dura Composites implemented Sage 200 as its ERP Financial system. The rollout targeted core procurement and inventory control functions inside a UK distribution business, aligning the application with procurement, warehouse, sales pricing and finance workflows.
Sage 200 was configured as the company stock system and end of month accounting engine, with focused configuration on inventory control, shortfall reporting and tailored reporting features. Implementation work included designing and populating product master data, creating price lists for the sales team and adapting reports to support weekly stock management and the monthly dated stock report used by marketing.
Operational coverage spanned the procurement department, warehouse coordination and finance, supporting container departures to the UK and more than 15 countries and routine management of supplier and freight forwarder relationships. Operational workflows used Cargo Wiz for container load planning and incorporated an external Quality Control company in China to enforce QC policy alongside in‑country checks and non-conformance reporting.
Governance and process changes accompanying the Sage 200 implementation included the introduction of a new QC procedure in the UK and China, weekly stock meetings with the warehouse manager, annual FSC audit management and end of month accounting procedures. The implementation supported management of stock valued at approximately £3,000,000 and recurring order activity around $1,000,000, with the Purchasing and Office Manager assisting to ensure reports and features suited operational needs.

In 2020, Dura Composites implemented Microsoft Power BI to support its Analytics and BI needs across procurement, finance, and warehouse functions. The deployment was driven by work within the Finance and Purchasing teams, where a Purchasing Executive shaped departmental processes and reporting for stock procurement and management alongside a simple Warehouse Management System implemented earlier that year.
Microsoft Power BI was used to ingest and manipulate raw data from the company SQL database platform, producing purpose-built reports and visualizations. Deliverables included a graphical stock location report to support yard management and capacity planning, and a set of financially focused supplier and stock reports, reflecting data modeling, visual reporting, and scheduled data refresh workflows typical of Analytics and BI projects.
The Power BI implementation was integrated with the existing WMS and ERP environment via the shared SQL database platform, providing operational visibility to Purchasing, Finance, and warehouse operations. Operational scope explicitly covered Purchasing and Finance teams, and the reports were used to inform yard and stock management activities.
Governance and rollout were managed internally, with the Purchasing Executive acting as the primary contact for UK suppliers and purchase ledger invoicing while collaborating with stakeholders on high level improvements. The effort emphasized iterative report development and stakeholder alignment to extend WMS and ERP reporting capabilities through Microsoft Power BI.

| Microsoft | Legacy | Microsoft 365 | Collaboration | Collaboration | n/a | 2017 | 2017 |
In 2017, Dura Composites deployed Microsoft 365 as its Collaboration platform. The company website indicates use of Microsoft 365, consistent with a cloud based Microsoft 365 tenant supporting core communication and productivity services for the organization.
The Microsoft 365 implementation centers on standard Collaboration capabilities including Exchange Online email, SharePoint Online document libraries, Microsoft Teams for real time communication, OneDrive for Business file sync, and the Office productivity suite for desktop and browser based authoring. Configuration likely emphasizes centralized identity and access control, reporting, and mailbox and document retention policies to align with distribution sector collaboration needs.
Operational coverage aligns with company wide adoption across sales, operations, and administrative functions, enabling shared document workflows, internal team chats, and cloud file access. Governance is oriented around tenant administration, user provisioning, and role based access controls typical of Microsoft 365 deployments, with the public site signaling an integrated use of Microsoft 365 services for external and internal collaboration.
