Transforming Business Central: How 3INA Cosmetics uses Document Capture to automate beyond finance

 

3INA Cosmetics is exploring how Document Capture can optimize processes across departments, unlocking new potential in Business Central beyond traditional finance applications.

 

A journey of growth and innovation

As a relatively young company, 3INA Cosmetics has been harnessing the potential of Business Central almost since its inception. This exploration includes discovering features and integrations to enhance daily operations. IT Manager Pablo Arienza Carrera has spearheaded this journey, guiding the company’s transition from a startup to a recognized brand with international reach. “We began exploring new integrations in 2018, seeking a solution to handle invoices through our Microsoft Partner, Triangle, since our three-person finance team was overwhelmed,” explains Pablo. “But I quickly realized that Document Capture had far more capabilities than just invoicing.”

Brand new possibilities

With the introduction of Document Capture, brand new possibilities opened up; allowing Pablo Arienza to pursue new levels of digitalization in the organization – giving his colleagues an easier way to handle the transfer of stock from warehouse to stores. “It is not a purchase order or a sales document – so to make sure our supply chain doesn’t have to type it in manually in Business Central – we have created and app that creates a delivery document that is sent to Document Capture and it can be read and processed automatically”. This removes manual tasks for the team by leveraging functionality in Document Capture, allowing for smarter, time-efficient workflows beyond the finance department.

 

A layered approach to stock management

Beyond stock transfer, Document Capture has been instrumental in maintaining an accurate, real-time view of inventory across 3INA’s warehouse and stores. Often, items are shipped before invoicing, so Pablo needed a way to manage these transactions effectively

“When the warehouse sends out those products that are going to be invoiced later, they send us a list of articles and with a power automate flow we transform that list into a PDF. That way Document Capture can read it and convert to a transfer to our warehouse – and the transfer is done automatically so we don’t have any manual processes.  So we earn a lot of time there,“ he explains.

“We aim to keep all corporate management that we do, in Business Central and all the development we create has to be integrated into BC, so Continia fits right in.”

Pushing boundaries with Continia solutions

Not only are 3INA getting the most out of automation for the finance department, they are utilizing Continia Solutions in totally new ways, paving the way for a completely automated experience with Business Central going beyond standard functionality across the whole company. “We aim to keep all corporate management that we do, in Business Central and all the development we create has to be integrated into BC,” ends Pablo Arienza, highlighting why Continias Built Inside approach fits right in.
