Customer story | Bando Singapore
Bando Singapore occupies a pivotal role as part of a global operation. As the regional sales office for Bando, a manufacturer of power transmission belts with markets spanning Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, and Australia and New Zealand, the Singapore team handles everything from market research and advertising to the commercial relationships that keep the business moving.
It is, in other words, exactly the kind of office that demands the best tools available.
When Bando Singapore decided to move to a modern cloud platform, the goal was clear: gain full ownership of their data, ensure their customisations were truly theirs, and put in place infrastructure that could scale with the demands of a complex, multi-regional operation.
Wild Tech introduced Bando Singapore to the latest version of Microsoft Business Central — a cloud-native platform built for exactly this kind of requirement. The move aligned with a strategic push at global headquarters to accelerate modernisation across the business. “The headquarters was convinced that now is the right time,” said Perlin Thor, Head of Corporate Services and Operation at Bando Singapore.
What followed was a migration that delivered on all fronts. On the cloud, the data belongs to Bando. Customisations are theirs to own. And the platform is built to accommodate the complexity that comes with operating across multiple regions and markets.
The operational impact was felt quickly. The team noticed faster performance almost immediately, but it was the flexibility the new system unlocked that made the most lasting impression. “Moving to the cloud is definitely more convenient and more efficient,” Thor said. “The biggest impact is allowing us to work remotely and on the go.” For a regional office managing relationships across a wide geography, that freedom represents a meaningful shift in how the team operates.
Throughout the process, Wild Tech’s approach was defined by responsiveness. When challenges arose, the Wild Tech team worked through them. “They have been very supportive in trying to resolve all the problems,” Thor said. That quality, she notes, was apparent even before the engagement formally began. “Wild Tech would be the right fit because of the trust. In fact, we trusted the team even before we actually engaged them.”
For organisations considering a move to Business Central on the cloud, Bando Singapore’s experience offers a clear data point. The platform handles complex requirements with ease. The day-to-day efficiency gains are real. And with the right partner, the transition is straightforward. “I would highly recommend Wild Tech,” Thor said. “They can help companies achieve day-to-day operations more efficiently.”
