About CAR PRO
CAR PRO is the official importer and authorized distributor of Suzuki in Tunisia.
Established in 2016, the company operates across the automotive value chain, including the import and distribution of new vehicles, vehicle sales, maintenance and after-sales services, and spare parts.
With a network covering several Tunisian governorates, CAR PRO manages a broad range of interconnected automotive operations where vehicle sales, workshop activities, spare parts and financial processes need to work together.
As the business developed, CAR PRO needed an information system that could support this complexity while providing management with reliable and timely information.
The challenge: bringing automotive operations together
As CAR PRO expanded its activities and dealership network, several priorities became increasingly important:
- Harmonizing processes across different locations
- Improving visibility of vehicle and spare parts inventory
- Strengthening control over after-sales and workshop operations
- Connecting sales, service, parts and administration
- Providing management with more reliable and timely information
- Building a technology platform capable of supporting future growth
CAR PRO therefore began looking at how its existing information system could evolve with the business.
The objective was not simply to introduce another ERP system. CAR PRO needed a platform that understood the specific requirements of automotive distribution and after-sales operations.
Why ELVA DMS?
ELVA DMS is built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and combines Microsoft ERP capabilities with functionality designed for automotive sales, after-sales and spare parts operations.
CAR PRO selected ELVA DMS, implemented by Deltasoft, as the platform for its automotive operations.
The solution combined automotive-specific functionality with the Microsoft Dynamics platform, allowing CAR PRO to manage key areas of its business within a connected environment.
The main areas covered included:
Vehicle sales
Management of new vehicle sales and related operational processes, with vehicle information connected to the wider business system.
After-sales and workshop
Management of service and repair operations, helping connect workshop activities with customer, vehicle and financial information.
Spare parts
Management of spare parts operations and inventory, providing greater visibility across the business.
Integrated business information
By bringing automotive operations and financial processes onto the same platform, CAR PRO could work with a common set of business data rather than relying on disconnected systems and manual consolidation.
2016: Starting with ELVA DMS on Microsoft Dynamics NAV
In 2016, CAR PRO entrusted Deltasoft with the implementation of ELVA DMS on Microsoft Dynamics NAV.
The project established a common digital platform for key automotive activities, including new vehicle sales, after-sales and spare parts.
This first implementation helped CAR PRO:
- Digitalize core automotive processes
- Unify processes across the organization
- Centralize business information
- Improve visibility of operational activities
- Establish a scalable foundation for further development
It also marked the beginning of a long-term digital transformation journey.
2026: Moving from Dynamics NAV to Business Central
Ten years after the original implementation, CAR PRO took the next step.
The company migrated from Microsoft Dynamics NAV to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, while continuing to use ELVA DMS for its automotive operations.
This distinction is important.
The project was not about replacing the automotive DMS that CAR PRO had built its operations around. It was about modernizing the underlying Microsoft platform while continuing with the automotive functionality and processes already established with ELVA DMS.
The migration provides CAR PRO with a modern Microsoft cloud platform and a foundation for continued development of its information system.
A modern Microsoft platform for automotive operations
With ELVA DMS running on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, CAR PRO brings its automotive and business processes together within one connected environment.
The platform supports the company’s core operations across:
Vehicle Sales New vehicle sales and vehicle-related business processes.
After-Sales Workshop and service operations, customer and vehicle information, and repair-related activities.
Spare Parts Parts management and inventory visibility.
Business Management Financial and operational information on the same Microsoft platform.
This combination allows CAR PRO to benefit from the capabilities of Business Central while maintaining an automotive-focused business system.
Business benefits of the migration
The move to Business Central gives CAR PRO a modern foundation for the next stage of its digital development.
Key areas of improvement include:
Greater productivity Automation and improved access to information can reduce manual work across business processes.
More consistent data Centralizing information on a common platform helps teams work with the same business data and reduces reliance on separate sources of information.
Faster access to information Real-time access to operational information helps teams and management make decisions without relying on manual consolidation.
Better business visibility Consolidated operational and financial information provides management with a clearer view of business performance.
Improved collaboration Connecting sales, workshop, spare parts and administration within the same environment improves the flow of information between teams.
A 10-year digital journey
CAR PRO’s project demonstrates that digital transformation does not always mean replacing everything that already works.
2016 ELVA DMS + Microsoft Dynamics NAV CAR PRO implements ELVA DMS to digitalize vehicle sales, after-sales and spare parts operations.
2026 ELVA DMS + Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central CAR PRO modernizes its Microsoft platform while continuing with ELVA DMS.
The result is an evolution of the existing digital environment rather than a complete change of direction.
A long-term partnership with Deltasoft
The project was delivered by Deltasoft, ELVA DMS’s implementation partner in Tunisia.
Having supported CAR PRO since the original 2016 implementation, Deltasoft brought an established understanding of the company’s business processes to the migration project.
This long-term relationship provided continuity between the original NAV implementation and the move to Business Central.
For an automotive company, this continuity can be particularly valuable: the technology platform can evolve while the knowledge of the business, its processes and its operational requirements remains in place.
