Sports distribution and brand marketing agency improves efficiency and picking process via AutoStore, Microsoft Dynamics and Magento integration
Specialist Sports is a performance sports distribution, product creation, and brand marketing agency for a number of leading sports brands including adidas, Prince, Osaka, TON, Payntr, Athlecia, and Endurance. Having replaced its old ERP system with Microsoft Dynamics Business Central, the company needed to integrate its B2B website, as well as its new automated storage system – AutoStore – in its warehouse. Having installed BPA Platform as the main integration and automation solution Specialist Sports has increased the speed and accuracy of its picking process and enabled the business to maximise growth in different areas.
Primary Applications Used: Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Magento, AutoStore
The Challenge
- Replace old ERP system to integrate with new website

“The great thing about BPA Platform is that having integrated it with Dynamics Business Central it then opens up opportunities to integrate other areas of our business. We’re using BPA Platform to integrate Magento with Microsoft Dynamics Business Central to give us live stock information and all of our attributes. We’ve also implemented an automated storage system in our warehouse. Orders that we take on our B2B website flow into the ERP. The ERP then pushes those orders into AutoStore. From a picking point of view, the speed that we can get through picks has increased, as well as the accuracy. It’s made a huge difference and certainly helped a lot.”
