System Dynamics has been building ERP software since 1975. Its platform, Dynamic 3i, runs supply chain, manufacturing, distribution and accounting for medium and large manufacturers and wholesalers - the systems its customers’ businesses run on every day. Relationships at SDC are measured in decades, not quarters.
SDC had served a leading Caribbean gas and utilities company for 40 years. After joining Beacon, a conversation with the customer’s CFO led to work on automating bank reconciliation. SDC led the customer relationship, while Beacon brought its applied AI team, technology and capital. Within 90 days of acquisition, SDC had sold a six-figure AI project across multiple Caribbean jurisdictions, on a multi-year subscription with pricing partly tied to outcomes. The team is now taking the same approach to other SDC customers.
“We spent forty years earning our customers’ trust. Beacon gave us a way to do something new with it. Ninety days after joining, we were selling AI to a customer we’ve served for decades — work we could never have built on our own.”
— Alex, System Dynamics
