DESTIL, a wholesaler for construction and industry with more than 150,000 items and 35 branches across the Netherlands, has used ISPnext's invoice processing solution since April 2021, chosen for its interface with the new Dynamics 365 ERP system.
When switching to a new ERP system, Dynamics 365, DESTIL needed an invoice processing solution that would integrate directly with it.
ISPnext offered an invoice processing solution with an interface to Dynamics 365, allowing DESTIL to build on earlier digitisation and software-based invoice approval from its previous Dynamics AX 2009 system.
Almost 150,000 invoices per year are now processed in a fully digitised way, with a smoothly running partnership and concrete future plans for further automation via XML and EDI.
An invoice processing solution that fits Dynamics 365
DESTIL switched to a new ERP system, Dynamics 365, and needed an invoice processing solution with a working interface.

Switching to Dynamics 365
"At the time, we switched to a new ERP system, Dynamics 365. We then opted for ISPnext's invoice processing solution because they have an interface with Dynamics 365," says Christiaan van Eeden, Assistant Controller at DESTIL.
-
Building on earlier digitisation
Within the previous ERP system, Dynamics AX 2009, DESTIL had already switched to digitised invoices and software-based invoice approval, a process now continued via ISPnext.
-
Keeping large invoice volumes manageable
With almost 150,000 invoices a year across 35 branches, a scalable, reliable solution was essential.
"We are in contact with various people at ISPnext. They all give exceptional service."
Digital invoicing and approval via ISPnext
DESTIL continued the digitisation that had already begun under its previous ERP system within the new Dynamics 365 environment, with ISPnext as its invoice processing solution.
-
Digitisation of invoices
"We had already digitised our invoices within the Dynamics AX 2009 ERP system. It was a relief compared to processing invoices on paper," says Christiaan. "We were also already familiar with the approval of invoices via software. We now do that via ISPnext. The processes are going well with it."
-
Positive collaboration with ISPnext
"Collaboration with ISPnext has been positive. We are in contact with various people at ISPnext. They all give exceptional service," says Christiaan.

Shared challenges across the sector
