IDS Borjomi Tbilisi – Dynamics AX Implementation and Upgrade

Food & Beverage (Mineral Water Sales and Distribution)

Challenge:

As a key entity within one of the largest producers of natural mineral waters, IDS Borjomi Tbilisi required a robust ERP system to manage its extensive operations, from inventory and sales to complex financial processes. Over time, there was a need to enhance existing capabilities, particularly in mobile sales, advanced inventory tracking, and complex sales logistics.

Solution:

Proxima Systems undertook a two-step project for IDS Borjomi Tbilisi: an initial Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 implementation in 2011, followed by a significant upgrade and re-implementation of Dynamics AX in 2019. This multi-phase approach ensured a continuously evolving and optimized ERP solution tailored to IDS Borjomi's growing needs.
