Microsoft Dynamics AX Helps Hunter Douglas Support Its Global Enterprise

Ever since it invented the aluminum window blind in 1946, Hunter Douglas has defined the industry with products that deliver revolutionary style and functionality. Its legacy includes the creation of entirely new categories of award-winning window coverings, such as the first honeycomb shade and a remote-control system for controlling one or more shades at once. Its expertise in customization helps keep its customers at the forefront of design in the home and office.

After considering several ERP solutions, Hunter Douglas Latin America adopted Microsoft Dynamics AX. Currently, 400 people in Chile and Mexico use the manufacturing management software, and implementation is underway in Argentina. These will be followed by sites in Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, and Panama. By early 2016, the single Microsoft AX implementation will have replaced eight separate ERP systems, and virtually everyone at Hunter Douglas Latin America—1,300 people—will use Microsoft Dynamics AX for manufacturing, fulfillment, and tasks related to customer service, accounting, production, sales, operations, logistics, and inventory.
