FAQ

TRIMIT is developed specifically for three industries: (1) Fashion & Apparel, (2) Furniture & Interior, and (3) Configurable Products. These industries all share the challenge of managing complex products with multiple variants and configurations.

The TRIMIT solution is best suited for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) operating within these industries, and it is designed to support companies that require industry-specific functionalities combined with the flexibility to adapt to changing business needs.

TRIMIT extends Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central with features tailored to these sectors.

There are many ways in which TRIMIT is different than other solutions.

Our relentless focus on always having the customers’ interest at heart, our focus on being a technology front-runner, and our agility when it comes to responding to market demands are a few of them.

However, the main differentiator (and the not-so-secret ingredient for success) is the approximately 130 specialists working full-time with TRIMIT across 5 countries. They provide industry-specific knowledge, consultancy, advise and development to hundreds or customers, and they are instrumental to the success of TRIMIT customers.

On top of that, about the same number of people work in the TRIMIT Partner Network where they serve as an extension of the TRIMIT company in 10 countries.

It's hard to explain this in writing, so we encourage you to contact us and experience for yourself what we mean.

Yes. TRIMIT is embedded into Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central which is fully customizable.

TRIMIT is a standard solution which caters to the vast majority of requirements in the industries we serve. Our intention is that you don’t need more than a few (if any) customizations. However, even TRIMIT might not cover all your needs in exactly the way you wish.

Additional information fields, tweaked functionality and even features fully tailored to your requirements is all part of the open development environment that is a core principle in Business Central and TRIMIT.

Naturally, all customizations are done in such a way that you won’t get intro trouble when upgrading to new versions.

A quick word of caution: While almost everything might be possible, we do encourage careful consideration in this particular area. Moving too far away from a standard solution might present challenges and add complexity to your system.

Naturally, our team of more than 130 people are trained to ask the right questions to help you uncover if a customization is actually needed to solve a specific problem.

You get a lot! Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is a fantastic business solution, and we couldn’t wish for a better platform to build TRIMIT on. However, Business Central has significant shortcomings as far as variant management and product configuration are concerned.

TRIMIT not only closes those gaps but also adds hundreds of other big and small features that make it an incredibly compelling app for our customers and ensures that every part of the supply chain is covered and that people are connected to the right information at the right time.

We encourage that you book a session with one of our experts to discuss your specific challenges and how TRIMIT can make your workday easier in ways that Business Central out of the box can't.

TRIMIT is powered by Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central as its foundation, and most of our customers have their solutions hosted in a Microsoft data center, also known as having the solution in the cloud.

TRIMIT runs on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central online as its platform and is a modern, global, robust, and scalable solution for small and mid-sized companies.

Business Central online financially guarantees 99.9% up-time for its paid production environments, where customers are entitled to financial compensation from Microsoft if the Business Central service doesn't deliver on this promise. Historical data shows that the Business Central online service has been able to consistently maintain this level of availability.

Each Business Central environment is also protected by automatic geo-redundant backups. If a region experiences a full outage, Azure restores your data from the backup in another Azure region within the same Azure geography.

Although it's rare, recovering data into another Azure region is a fully automated internal procedure that we practice regularly. It's a standard part of Microsoft’s internal audits and disaster recovery drills.
