BrandAlley, the UK’s go‑to online destination for off‑price premium and luxury brands across fashion, beauty, home, and lifestyle, has selected Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central to modernise its finance operations as part of a wider growth strategy.
Partnering with Transparity, BrandAlley is replacing its legacy finance system with a modern, cloud‑based solution designed to support scale, improve efficiency, and enable better decision‑making across the business.
BrandAlley operates a members‑only platform, launching new flash sales daily and offering access to exclusive, in‑demand brands at exceptional price points. Alongside this, the business provides instant fulfilment of designer pieces through its recently revitalised and highly sustainable warehouse operations.
The organisation selected Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central to improve operational efficiency while taking advantage of built‑in automation and AI capabilities.
The previous legacy system was no longer able to support BrandAlley’s pace of growth or its increasingly complex operating model.
“Our existing system couldn’t accommodate the multi‑entity, multi‑currency operation that we have become,” explains Marian Duxbury, Chief Finance Officer at BrandAlley.
“Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central will keep up with our entrepreneurial pace and give us the tools to transform our finance operations. We’ll be able to manage acquisitions, budgeting, cyclical financial processes, and deliver timely, sophisticated reporting for senior management.”
Business Central will streamline finance operations, reducing reliance on manual processes and freeing teams to focus on higher‑value activities. The platform will provide senior leaders with timely visibility into business performance, supporting more informed and confident decision‑making.
Integration with ordering and payment systems will also streamline end‑to‑end retail processes, improving efficiency across the organisation.
“Transparity has been excellent in getting us up and running,” Marian adds. “Not only through strong project management, but by really listening to our requirements and proposing imaginative, practical solutions.”
“We’re looking forward to equipping BrandAlley with a modern, future‑ready finance platform,” says Gareth Morrille, Consulting Director at Transparity. “This transformation will support stronger decision‑making today and continued commercial success as the business grows.”
