THE CHALLENGE

The San Francisco-Marin Food Bank managed food distribution across multiple systems, including spreadsheets, SharePoint, and a customized ERP system. Their team manually entered and tracked data across these platforms to coordinate deliveries, update inventory, and manage food requests. This process required significant time and effort to maintain accuracy and ensure smooth operations. To improve data consistency, minimize manual workload, and streamline processes, the organization sought an integration solution that would automate key workflows and connect its systems more efficiently.

THE SOLUTION

SSIS Integration Toolkit for:

Microsoft Dynamics 365

Vertical Lift utilized KingswaySoft’s SSIS Integration Toolkit to design and implement an advanced integration solution connecting Microsoft Dynamics 365 to the client’s customized ERP system. The workflows were configured to run at three-minute intervals, ensuring that critical data such as partner records, food preferences, and delivery addresses were consistently accurate and up to date.

The integration also included sophisticated monitoring capabilities, allowing administrators to identify and resolve potential issues quickly. By automating previously manual processes and enabling reliable data updates, the solution allowed San Francisco-Marin Food Bank to focus on their mission while improving operational effectiveness.

The integration implemented by Vertical Lift, utilizing KingswaySoft's SSIS Integration Toolkit for Dynamics 365, brought significant improvements to the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank's operations. By automating data workflows and enhancing data consistency, the solution enabled the organization to scale its operations effectively while continuing to provide essential resources to underserved communities.

Over two years of deployment, the system maintained exceptional performance with no critical issues, demonstrating its reliability, scalability, and stability. Furthermore, the food bank's distributor network grew substantially, now supporting up to three times the original number of distributors, effectively increasing their service capacity.
