Hamilton Company | Professional Services | 3000 | $700M | United States | Microsoft | Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management | Supply Chain Management | 2017 |
In 2017, Hamilton Company implemented Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management across its global equipment manufacturing operations, engaging Sikich as the implementation partner. The deployment targeted the Supply Chain Management needs of configure-to-order and engineer-to-order product lines while also addressing higher-volume lines such as syringes and pipettes, and it positioned Dynamics 365 as the companywide business management platform.
The implementation used Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management functionality to centralize procurement, planned order conversion, requisitioning, purchase order consolidation, production management, and field services administration. Sikich applied its HEADSTART for Equipment Manufacturing methodology to provide a preconfigured solution, accelerating configuration and enabling rapid conference room pilots with repeated data conversions and full data loads through multiple test cycles.
The solution was deployed on the Microsoft cloud stack with native integrations to Azure analytics and Power BI for operational and business intelligence, and Hamilton planned an integration with an automated third-party warehouse management solution to extend warehouse operations. Remote collaboration using Microsoft Teams supported the rollout during the pandemic, and key operational locations included Reno Nevada, Franklin Massachusetts, and Bonaduz Switzerland.
Project governance shifted to a business-driven model with IT and business stakeholders co-leading requirements, testing, and user acceptance, and Sikich supporting repeated mock go-lives and data conversion rehearsals through at least four conference room pilot iterations. Explicit outcomes observed after go-live included the ability to scale to more users, transactions, customers, and work centers during a surge in demand, reduced manual data entry that shortened purchase order processing from hours to minutes, and broader access to analytics and insight tools on the Azure platform.

Hamilton Company | Professional Services | 3000 | $700M | United States | Microsoft | Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations | ERP Financial | 2017 |
In 2017, Hamilton Company deployed Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations as its ERP Financial solution with implementation support from Sikich to standardize business management across its global equipment manufacturing operations. The deployment targeted core finance and supply chain processes while providing a single vendor platform to support production, configure-to-order and engineer-to-order manufacturing, services delivery, and field service operations across sites in the United States and Switzerland.
The implementation configured Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations to manage procurement, planned order conversion, manufacturing work centers, and service management workflows, using Sikich HEADSTART for Equipment Manufacturing as a preconfigured baseline. Hamilton executed repeated conference room pilots and multiple data conversion cycles, progressing to full data loads for user acceptance testing and a mock go live to validate transaction flows and master data readiness.
Hamilton integrated Dynamics 365 with Microsoft Azure analytics and business intelligence capabilities to provide dashboards and operational insight, and the company plans to connect a third party warehouse management solution to the ERP platform. D365 functions as Hamilton Company s primary business management system, and the project team reported no need for complex custom integrations to achieve the initial operational scope.
Project governance shifted from an IT-led model to a business-driven approach, with IT and functional stakeholders collaborating throughout configuration, testing, and rollout. The deployment occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic, the team paused the project for urgent priorities and then resumed using remote collaboration via Microsoft Teams, enabling Sikich to deliver much of the work offsite while maintaining regular business engagement.
Post go live Hamilton reported scalable performance as the company grew its workforce and expanded work centers, reduced manual data entry and repetitive tasks such as purchase order generation, and gained faster access to analytics on the Azure platform. The Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations deployment delivered process simplification, reduced human error in requisitioning and order conversion, and a platform Hamilton expects to evolve with future business requirements.

AMF Bakery Systems | Professional Services | 500 | $70M | United States | Microsoft | Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service | Field Service Management | 2020 |
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.
