| Microsoft | Legacy | Microsoft Dynamics NAV | ERP Financial | ERP | n/a | 2015 | 2015 |
In 2015, ScS implemented Microsoft Dynamics NAV as its primary accounting application. The deployment targeted ERP Financial functionality, with ScS using Microsoft Navision Dynamics for core accounting operations across its UK retail business and corporate finance center.
The implementation configured Microsoft Dynamics NAV to support core financial modules including general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, fixed asset management, and cash and bank management, together with statutory VAT handling and period-end controls. Configuration work focused on chart of accounts harmonization, automated posting rules, and structured financial reporting to meet UK statutory reporting requirements.
Architecturally, the deployment aligned with the Microsoft Dynamics NAV technical model, leveraging Microsoft application tier patterns and SQL Server data stores to support centralized finance processing and distributed store-level accounting entries. Operational coverage included corporate finance, retail accounting teams, and treasury workflows across ScS locations in the United Kingdom.
Governance emphasized centralized master data management, role based access controls for accounting users, and change control for financial process workflows, with a phased rollout approach across finance teams to standardize accounting practices and audit trails.

| Eque2 | Legacy | Eque2 Miracle Payroll | Payroll | HCM | n/a | 2013 | 2013 |
In 2013 ScS implemented Eque2 Miracle Payroll to centralize Payroll and HR operations across its UK stores and distribution centres. The deployment of Eque2 Miracle Payroll targeted payroll processing, employee pay distribution, recruitment workflows and statutory P11D reporting, aligning the application with core retail payroll and HR business functions.
The implementation configured modules for payroll calculations, electronic payslip distribution via Edocs, HR record management and recruitment tracking, alongside enhanced payroll reporting capabilities. Eque2 Miracle Payroll was used to automate pay runs and produce statutory P11D outputs, with configuration focused on retail shift patterns and multi-site pay cycles common in store and distribution centre operations.
ScS integrated Eque2 Miracle Payroll with Microsoft Dynamics NAV to synchronize employee master data and payroll inputs with the ERP transaction and HR records. This integration established a bi-directional data flow for finance and HR processes, ensuring payroll calculations used NAV-held compensation and deduction elements while payroll results fed reporting and accounting reconciliations.
Operational coverage included payroll and HR teams supporting stores and distribution centres across the United Kingdom, with processes centralized for pay run orchestration and electronic payslip delivery. The case study reports that the MiraclePay implementation significantly reduced payroll processing time and improved payslip and reporting delivery, addressing both operational efficiency and statutory reporting for ScS.
