Junction Solutions has implemented its industry-specific solutions in various food and beverage, consumer packaged goods, retail and life sciences companies including pharmaceutical, contract clinical trial, and medical device manufacturers. For instance, a leading provider of immune cell therapy was facing problem with high costs for shared IT services from their parent company. Their business was running on multiple applications with poor integration, resulting in information silos. In a three phased rollout at its facilities in North America and Europe, Junction Solutions implemented the Dynamics AX suite. This single system replaced six enterprise systems and ultimately saved $1million per month in shared service fees for the client.

Moving forward, Junction Solutions plans to concentrate on customer’s inputs and evolving demands for functionality, which reflects their business; and timely and affordable deployments that carries low risk. “We will continue to focus on delivering solutions which address our core vertical markets, with the ultimate goal of delivering customer success in every engagement,” asserts Grell.
