Overview

Nordic Aqua (Ningbo) is a foreign-invested enterprise operating Asia's first commercial-scale Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) for high-quality Atlantic salmon. Because the group utilizes Dynamics 365 Business Central globally, the local Chinese entity needed to upgrade its legacy accounting software to seamlessly integrate with the global architecture.

The Challenge

The company's local finance operations were disconnected from headquarters, creating immense reporting burdens.

  • Misaligned Financial Data: Local financial structures and dimensions did not align with headquarters standards, making data consolidation highly inefficient.
  • Dual Reporting Burden: Finance teams had to manually generate RMB reports for local compliance and Euro reports for the global group, vastly increasing workload and error risks.
  • Scalability Limits: The legacy local software could not efficiently connect to the global network, severely restricting future business expansion.

Solution & Implementation

Nordic Aqua selected Tectura to implement Dynamics 365 Business Central, bridging the local and global financial architectures.

  • Configuring robust multi-currency and multi-ledger capabilities to satisfy both strict Chinese regulatory requirements and global standardization.
  • Streamlining full-lifecycle management for fixed assets and expenses using unified accounting rules.
  • Executing a highly tailored localization strategy to ensure smooth system adoption without compromising global visibility.

Results & Impact

Area Before After
Reporting Efficiency Generating localized and global reports required redundant manual effort. The system generated dual-compliant financial reports simultaneously, slashing workloads.
Operational Transparency Capital asset tracking and cost control were opaque and delayed. Real-time visual management of fixed assets enabled highly precise cost control.
Month-End Closing Reconciling divergent local and global ledgers prolonged month-end processes. Unified multi-ledger operations enabled rapid, streamlined month-end closing.

Nordic Aqua successfully bridged its local and global financial systems with Business Central, effortlessly unifying multi-ledger requirements and fast month-end closing while flawlessly aligning with both local regulations and global standards.
