In fresh produce, the price changes every day. The admin to keep up with it should not eat your week. For Matumi Fresh Group, it did, until Business Central took it over.
At a glance: two to three hours a week of manual price recalculation now runs as background workflow, and accurate costing data has improved gross profit margin.
The challenge
Matumi Fresh Group runs fresh produce, a business where supplier prices move daily and margins live or die on getting the numbers right. Before Business Central, keeping up meant spreadsheets and a steady stream of emails between the warehouse and the back office. Every daily price recalculation was done by hand. Two to three hours a week disappeared into that loop, and nobody had a current, trusted view of the business.
The move to Business Central
Braintree put Matumi onto Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, with one connected system replacing the spreadsheets and the email chains:
- Automated daily pricing, current every day, instead of manual recalculation.
- Live inventory tracking, rather than a snapshot that was out of date the moment it was taken.
- A single source of truth, with operations and finance working from the same current data.
- Cloud collaboration across the warehouse and the back office.
The results
The two to three hours a week that went into manual price recalculations now run as background workflow. More importantly, accurate costing data gives the business a clear view of gross profit, which Matumi's finance lead credits with a direct improvement to margin. Daily price changes that used to be administrative friction are now simply part of how the system works.
Matumi's result tracks the broader pattern: a Microsoft-commissioned Forrester study in 2026 modelled a 209% return on Business Central, with payback in under six months.
