Quintain brings properties to life with help from Simply Dynamics and Microsoft Dynamics 365

Quintain is a property development and asset management company that was established in London in 1992 and is now recognized as a significant industry expert in developing major urban regeneration programs. Its Irish operation was founded in 2019, becoming the third-largest residential mixed-use developer in the country. To meet the challenges associated with such rapid expansion, Quintain turned to Simply Dynamics for help implementing a new financial management system based on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

With vast experience in every aspect of property development, construction, and finance, Quintain plans, creates, and delivers innovative communities that improve the standard of living in Ireland. As part of its launch there in 2019, the Quintain team wanted to implement a new financial management system. One of the key drivers of this project was to select an effective financial solution to meet rapid deployment and go-live requirements. A key requirement for the financial system selection was that Quintain wanted a public cloud-hosted system to enable it to benefit from continuous automatic upgrades, as well as a solution with full security compliance for systems and data. 

Quintain needed a solution and a partner that could implement it in a short timeframe.

Simply Dynamics presented a clear solution and a proven implementation methodology with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and was chosen as Quintain’s preferred partner to help it with a financial management solution. Deployment included Business Central add-ons for fast and easy integration.

A unified, adaptable solution

Business Central is now Quintain’s financial management process hub. Its built-in automated purchasing and approval workflows enable fast and flexible approvals across various transaction types. It offers a wide variety of add-ons to enhance functionality, such as Continia Document Capture, which lets Quintain employees import, register, approve, and archive invoices and credit memos, all within Business Central.

Quintain also takes advantage of real-time employee expenditure tracking with Continia Expense Management. It provides easier registration and approval of business-related expenses and travel activities. Simply Dynamics also implemented Citibank payment integration, along with Relevant Contracts Tax (RCT) controls, which is a legal requirement for companies like Quintain that are involved in Ireland’s construction sector. This real-time reporting and analysis gives Quintain greater business insights and enables data-driven decision making.

Better business intelligence enables smart growth

David Thomas, Head of Finance, Operations, and IT is delighted to report Business Central has overwhelmingly been the right choice for Quintain. “The hugely successful launch of our Irish operations along with the implementation of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central has totally transformed how we do business,” Thomas said. “Since partnering with Simply Dynamics and choosing a leading cloud-based ERP solution, we now have an integrated, automated, and streamlined approach to managing the business.

“With Dynamics 365 Business Central, we can easily grow and develop the solution further and can simply pick and choose other Dynamics 365 business modules and add-ons as the business needs change. With Simply Dynamics as our partner, help and support are always readily available as and when needed.”
