# Three Trading Businesses, One Operating Platform

Elevance brought three UK trading businesses onto one Microsoft Dynamics platform and one operating model, cutting duplication and creating group visibility.

**Sector:** UK agricultural and commodities trading group  |  **Scale:** Three businesses unified

**The challenge**

Three trading businesses ran on different systems, working practices and reporting methods. The fragmented model created duplicate administration, inconsistent data and no reliable group-wide view of trading activity.

**The Elevance approach**

Elevance led a structured transformation programme to bring the businesses onto a common Microsoft Dynamics trading platform and a shared operating model, combining process design, data migration, integration, testing, training, go-live support and governance.

**What we delivered**

- Mapped and harmonised end-to-end trading processes
- Migrated customers, suppliers, contracts and operational data
- Aligned contract, invoicing and reporting controls
- Brought users into one team with common ways of working
- Managed cutover, communications, training and floor-walking

**Business outcomes**

- One operating platform across three trading businesses
- Central visibility of trading activity
- Less duplication and manual reconciliation
- More consistent controls and management information
- A scalable base for further automation and analytics
