Microsoft Directions North America 2022 Keynote Address: EFOQUS and Call2Recycle
EFOQUS is proud to share that EFOQUS’ system integration and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central work with non-profit and North America’s largest battery recycler, Call2Recycle, will be featured at the Directions North America’s keynote address this year. The project, for which we integrated multiple systems along with more than 50,000 lines of code will be a keynote feature of true systems integration work. Don’t miss it!
Call2Recycle is a rapidly growing non-profit organization with unique business needs working with various battery users, manufacturers, and processors, operating under different sets of recycling regulations. These types of business relationships and non-traditional transactional throughputs aren’t met by out-of-the-box ERP/CRM solutions. By truly understanding Call2Recycle’s business model, EFOQUS delivered a custom unified CRM and ERP system, leveraging Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central as a base, with further Microsoft systems integration and more than 50,000 lines of custom code. EFOQUS also integrated Power Apps, Power BI, Power Automate, Dynamics 365 Sales, Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement, plus EFOQUS developed apps WSFN and the SharePoint Connector. While the number of applications integrated into this single solution sounds complex, it amplifies the power of the solution for Call2Recycle. This one-of-a-kind project with Call2Recycle was recently highlighted in a Microsoft sponsored case study.
