Success Story: Manuka Health
DXC Eclipse helps Manuka Health evolve their business with Microsoft Dynamics 365
New Zealand based natural healthcare company, Manuka Health has chosen
Microsoft Dynamics 365, to underpin a major digital transformation initiative across
the business.
Established in 2006, Manuka Health is on a significant growth trajectory. With
140 employees across New Zealand, the natural healthcare company operates
over 17,000 beehives and processes honey and other bee products. They distribute
products to over 45 countries throughout the world.
To streamline operations and transform efficiency Manuka Health is replacing
their legacy ERP system with Microsoft Dynamics 365. The integrated cloud-based
solution ensures that Manuka Health personnel have secure, anytime, anywhere
access to information and real-time decision-making support.
Ben Boase, Manuka Health’s Chief Financial Officer, is the lead architect and
champion for the digital transformation project. He says, “We are transforming
in a number of ways – one is the way we manage and deliver our products in the
digital space. We’re in a developing industry and there are evolving regulations
around honey and bee products and their distribution in the markets we serve. We
see technology as a key enabler in delivering exceptional products and helping our
customers lead healthier lives.”
“Our vision for the business was critical to picking Microsoft Dynamics 365. Its out
of the box functionality and easy user experience gave us the confidence that our
technology would enable us to facilitate growth in the business.”
To build this system, Manuka Health partnered with Microsoft Dynamics Partner
DXC Eclipse, known internationally for their Dynamics 365 expertise. Leveraging DXC
Eclipse’s knowledge and experience in the food processing industry coupled with their
understanding of the Microsoft ecosystem allows Manuka Health to build a trusted
system designed to match its needs.
Boase adds that DXC Eclipse demonstrated that Microsoft Dynamics 365 was the
right platform for the business and they had the team with the skills and experience
to deliver an out of the box solution.

“Cultural fit was really important to us. We felt that DXC Eclipse had a similar
culture to ours and our people matched very well, providing a solid foundation for a
partnership. DXC Eclipse’s team had the skills and experience to deliver a platform
that would support our business from beekeeping right through manufacturing
and distribution.”
Tight integration across Microsoft platforms, particularly Dynamics 365 and
Power BI, ensures transparency and accuracy along with rich reporting tools to
support Manuka Health executives’ decision-making.
“In the first phase, we’re excited about the improved demand planning and
forecasting that Microsoft Dynamics 365 delivers out of the box. In a developing
industry like ours, this is a game changer, helping us make more data-driven decisions
to improve critical business processes,” Boase adds.
Ciaran Quinn, Manuka Health’s Group Financial Controller believes that as a cloud
based software, Dynamics 365 enables a single source of information being made
available to users; “Across locations, it’s simple, intuitive and integrates our various
systems, so employees are no longer working in silos with manual processes. We want
to facilitate self-service capabilities across the organisation, so our employees are
empowered to draw analysis and insights from our data.”
The technology and business transformation that has already been wrought by
Dynamics 365 will continue across the business, given the team’s commitment to
continuous improvement.
Quinn explains that the business is looking forward to the upgrade that Microsoft
Dynamics CRM provides, a move that optimises how the organisation manages their
distribution network, so vendors, suppliers and the business all have access to a
broader, single source of information.
Boase believes that technology will play an increasingly important role across the
New Zealand agriculture sector and concludes “We see Microsoft Dynamics 365
as our platform of the future. As the system matures and the data provides a richer
output, efficiencies and opportunities for optimisation become stronger and dynamic.
Being in the cloud allows us to scale without having to worry about infrastructure.
We’re also excited about the developments in IoT and look forward to using the
technology to manage beekeepers and drive efficiencies in the business.”
“In our move to the cloud, trust and security have been key. Microsoft has always
been a strong, reliable brand, and a known entity to us, and working closely with a
partner like DXC Eclipse, who understand the Microsoft ecosystem so well gave us the
peace of mind that everything would run smoothly,” he concludes.
