  • Overview

Building the Infrastructure That Protects Our Planet

Headquartered in Varennes, Quebec, Canada, this organization develops and manufactures geosynthetic materials used in civil and environmental infrastructure projects worldwide. Their products contain, filter, drain, reinforce, and protect soil, water, and air in critical applications including mining, landfill containment, water management, transportation infrastructure, and energy projects.

The company became the world's largest geosynthetics manufacturer through strategic acquisitions — including GSE, TenCate Geosynthetics, and Propex — creating a global manufacturing and distribution footprint spanning North America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. With over 10 manufacturing units, 19 warehouses across 4 continents, ~250,000 MT/year geomembrane production capacity, and approximately 18% global market share, this organization's imperative for standardized global processes became the defining strategic priority.

A single global ERP template — one operational blueprint for a world-class manufacturing network spanning 100+ countries — was the foundation required to sustain global leadership following rapid inorganic growth.

DynaTech Systems implemented a comprehensive D365 Finance & SCM global template across APAC (April–November 2020) and EMEA (June–December 2020) regions simultaneously — combining purpose-built customizations, external system integrations, and a disciplined rollout methodology to deliver consistency at global scale for 400+ ERP users across 10 legal entities.

Custom Advanced Production Scheduler delivers workload balancing and dynamic adjustment capabilities unavailable in standard ERP.

02

Quality Management

Automated quality inspection integrated with Instron testing machines — lab results imported directly into D365 quality orders, eliminating manual entry and ensuring ISO/ASTM validation logic is applied automatically. Complete batch-level traceability and automated generation of pre-shipping and post-shipping quality certificates of multiple types.

03

Sales & Quotation Management

Custom quotation engine managing complex pricing including customer-specific rates, transportation cost embedment based on incoterms and shipping parameters, and discount logic. Derogation functionality enforces approval when predefined cost or pricing thresholds are exceeded — protecting margins and governance at every quote.

04
