Explore how we've helped organizations across industries transform their operations, reduce costs, and accelerate growth through strategic technology implementations.
The Liberian Bank for Development and Investment (LBDI), a major West African financial institution, faced severe operational challenges: basic internet across all its branches and satellite locations was extremely expensive, inconsistent, and unreliable — crippling connectivity from their 9th Street headquarters and Randall Street data center through the entire branch network. On top of that, LBDI faced constant fines from the Central Bank of Liberia (CBL) due to late regulatory reporting, the absence of a comprehensive ERP system, and extremely manual and broken workflows across all departments. These systemic issues threatened the bank's compliance standing and operational viability.
Cole Solutions deployed and managed enterprise-grade internet service from LBDI's 9th Street headquarters and Randall Street data center through all of their branches, saving millions of dollars in connectivity costs. We completely automated all CBL regulatory reporting — reversing millions in accumulated fines for late reports. We then implemented Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations to streamline and automate the bank's entire accounting and back-office processes, delivering the financial controls, audit trails, and data integrity that a banking institution requires.
"Cole Solutions didn't just implement software — they transformed our entire banking operation. From reliable internet across every branch to automated regulatory reporting and a world-class ERP system, they gave us the infrastructure and controls a modern bank needs to thrive."
Coworx Staffing, a major workforce solutions provider processing payroll for up to 50,000 employees weekly, struggled with integrating its front and middle office Applicant Tracking System (ATS) with its Microsoft Dynamics ERP back office. The staffing industry demands highly specific rule sets on both the pay side and bill side, combined with a complete tax and payroll process that adds extraordinary complexity to accounting. Coworx also needed a single enterprise business intelligence solution that could connect to both their middle office solutions and back office ERP to produce and deliver high-quality, consistent, and reliable enterprise reporting.
Cole Solutions deployed Microsoft Dynamics ERP and built a full integration with Bullhorn ATS, bridging the gap between front office recruitment, middle office workforce management, and back office finance. We also built custom solutions for budgeting and timesheet capture tailored to the staffing industry's unique pay/bill rules and tax requirements. This comprehensive solution set enabled Coworx to process payroll for up to 50,000 employees weekly with minimal staff — and they have never missed a single payroll. The unified BI layer connected all systems to deliver the enterprise-grade reporting Coworx needed.
"Cole Solutions understood the complexity of the staffing industry — the pay/bill rules, the tax intricacies, the volume. They built us a fully integrated platform from Bullhorn through Dynamics that lets us pay 50,000 people every week without fail. We've never missed a payroll."
Service Express was going through an aggressive growth-by-acquisition strategy and needed a partner with very deep expertise in Microsoft Dynamics GP integration to streamline ERP and financial reporting across multiple acquired systems, as well as streamline orders and inventory activities from multiple sources.
Cole Solutions served as the trusted Dynamics GP integration partner throughout Service Express's acquisition spree — consolidating disparate ERP instances, unifying financial reporting across newly acquired entities, and building custom integrations to streamline order management and inventory activities flowing in from multiple systems and sources into a single, reliable Dynamics GP environment.
"Cole Solutions had the deep Dynamics GP expertise we needed to keep pace with our acquisition strategy. Every time we acquired a new company, they integrated it into our ERP seamlessly — financials, orders, inventory — without missing a beat."
A&R Sports had the ambition to grow into a major hockey and lacrosse apparel supplier serving both big-box retailers and direct-to-consumer channels. However, the company faced multiple broken EDI integrations with its big-box customers for receiving and processing orders and invoices, while still taking orders via phone, fax, and email from its significant base of mid-sized mom-and-pop retailers. On top of that, A&R's financial books needed serious cleanup to enable trusted, consistent reporting.
Cole Solutions first cleaned up and streamlined A&R's multiple broken EDI integrations, restoring reliable order and invoice processing with big-box retail partners. We then built a custom B2B ordering portal that allowed SMB customers and global sales reps to seamlessly place orders that flow directly into Dynamics GP — with AR, payment processing, and inventory adjustments all handled automatically. Cole Solutions also created an entirely new asset class enabling A&R to engage B2C customers directly with non-conflicting items, opening a new revenue channel without disrupting existing retail relationships. Finally, we cleaned up A&R's books end-to-end, delivering trusted and consistent financial reporting across all channels.
"Cole Solutions didn't just fix our systems — they gave us the platform to grow. They cleaned up our EDI mess, built us a B2B portal that our reps and customers love, opened up a whole new B2C channel, and finally gave us financial reports we can actually trust."
Paper Source was rapidly growing its brick-and-mortar retail footprint and needed to upgrade its Microsoft Dynamics systems while building real-time integrations between all of its stores to capture and synchronize sales, inventory, and purchase orders with its backend Dynamics solution. Without a unified system, each store operated in a silo — creating inventory blind spots, delayed reporting, and manual reconciliation headaches that couldn't keep pace with the company's growth.
Cole Solutions conducted a comprehensive SWOT analysis of Paper Source's existing technology landscape, then designed and built a complex bi-directional integration between their Aptos POS system and Microsoft Dynamics GP. This integration enabled real-time synchronization of sales transactions, inventory levels, and purchase orders across every brick-and-mortar location and the backend ERP. Cole Solutions also delivered real-time reporting dashboards, ongoing maintenance, and dedicated support to ensure the integration remained reliable as Paper Source continued to expand.
"Cole Solutions gave us the real-time visibility we needed across every store. The Aptos-to-Dynamics integration they built means our sales, inventory, and purchasing data is always in sync — no more manual reconciliation, no more blind spots."
Yingli Solar manufactures and distributes solar panels to the USA market with heavy reliance on supply chain management, inventory control, 3PL logistics, and EDI. Their Dynamics system was broken with tons of failed processes — error transactions had piled up, postings were stuck, historical inventory was unreconciled, and receivables and payables were out of balance. Federal and state compliance issues compounded the problem, and the company lacked the accurate financial reporting needed to understand its true performance.
Cole Solutions conducted a deep-dive analysis to understand the root causes behind Yingli's broken system and processes. We reconfigured Microsoft Dynamics GP to properly fit Yingli's business operations, cleaned up the massive backlog of error transactions and failed postings, and reconciled historical inventory, receivables, and payables. Cole Solutions then trained Yingli's staff to use the system and processes as efficiently as possible. This effort streamlined the entire supply chain — from orders placed through manufacturing to shipping — enabling Yingli to meet customer demand. Cole Solutions also resolved all federal and state compliance issues and cleaned up Yingli's books for accurate, trusted financial reporting.
"Cole Solutions didn't just fix our system — they transformed how we operate. They cleaned up years of broken processes, reconciled our books, solved our compliance issues, and gave us the accurate reporting we needed. The result was hundreds of millions in savings and a dramatically improved EBITDA."
