Astena NV

AquaSecurity, a Belgian family business specialising in automatic sprinkler installations, migrated from a fragmented legacy ERP with custom solutions and Excel files to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central SaaS together with Astena's Installation Manager. The project delivered a single flow from sales quote to accounting carried by the entire team, plus direct financial dashboards with ready-made figures, and integrated the Peppol module with Continia Document Capture. Astena leveraged Azure — already used for AquaSecurity's award-winning Rosiot IoT monitoring — to support the transformation, with plans to connect Business Central data to Rosiot and Power BI for next-level customer service.

Woodstoxx, a fast-growing construction company, implemented Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central with Astena's Construction Manager to manage approximately 3,000 quotes and 1,500 projects annually. The new system provided daily visibility into project financial performance, a capability the old system lacked, enabling proactive project control. Astena's expertise in the Flemish construction sector and integration of third-party apps for planning, reporting, and document digitization were key factors in the successful ERP switch during a period of growth.

Astena implemented Dynamics 365 Business Central with its Installation Manager sector solution and Power BI at Alfa Group, part of Groep Van Roey, enabling project leaders to monitor projects in real time and act proactively. By staying within the standard capabilities of Installation Manager and minimizing custom development, Astena kept the budget tight and followed a phased approach that brought key and end users up to speed quickly. The modern interface and improved project transparency addressed the limitations of Alfa Group's previous ERP system.
