Modernizing the Supply Chain: Lessons from the Front Lines

As supply chains become more complex, outdated systems and processes can make it harder to scale, respond to disruption, and maintain visibility. So how do you know when it’s time to modernize—and how do you turn that investment into measurable business results?

Hear directly from four customers who have been there. They’ll share what drove them to change, how they evaluated their options, why they chose Lanham, and what they learned through implementation, user adoption, and growth.

Get an honest look at the results they’ve achieved, the ROI they’ve realized, what they’d do differently, and the advice they’d give others starting the journey.

Leave with practical, real-world insights you can put to work immediately—whether you’re evaluating solutions, planning a new initiative, navigating growth, or looking to maximize your existing Business Central investment.

Learn from Those Who've Already Been There!


Learning Objectives:

1. Evaluate with Confidence – Learn how customers identified the need for change, compared solutions, and selected technology that aligned with their business goals.

2. Build for Growth & Change – Discover how integrated EDI, Demand Planning, Warehouse Management, and Shipping & Receiving solutions can improve visibility, efficiency, and control across the supply chain.

3. Maximize Business Value – Understand the ROI, operational improvements, and lessons learned after implementation—and how to continue getting more value from your Business Central investment.
