Seattle, WA (January 2026): Public sector employers across North America are modernizing HR and payroll to reduce risk, strengthen compliance, and gain real-time workforce insight. Recently, two local government organizations – Randall County, Texas and the Town of Tecumseh, Ontario – went live on Dayforce, a cloud-based HCM platform, with OnActuate as their implementation partner, continuing a growing pattern of successful public sector deployments.

Different Workforce Models, One Proven Platform

Different in geography and workforce size – Randall County, Texas with more than 600 employees, and the Town of Tecumseh, Ontario with approximately 200 – both shared a common priority: modernizing HR and payroll to better support their workforce. Each organization recently went live on Dayforce (HR, Payroll, and Time & Attendance) with OnActuate, replacing legacy, manual systems with a modern, cloud-based platform designed to scale with public sector needs.

Both organizations required sophisticated workforce management to support varied schedules, meal breaks, shift differentials, and overtime calculations – while following different operational paths. Tecumseh manages five unions and complex cross-department payroll workflows, while Randall County’s lean HR and payroll team required a streamlined solution that could address evolving U.S. overtime reporting requirements. In both cases, OnActuate partnered closely with stakeholders to configure Dayforce in alignment with each organization’s operating model while applying a consistent, proven delivery approach.

Trusted Dayforce Delivery for the Public Sector

These go-lives reflect OnActuate’s continued momentum delivering Dayforce solutions for public sector organizations across North America. With experience supporting governments of varying size and complexity – from highly unionized municipal environments to lean county operations – OnActuate helps customers realize Dayforce value faster while navigating compliance, labor rules, and workforce complexity. As an early member of the Dayforce Partner Network, OnActuate remains a trusted delivery partner for organizations modernizing their workforce operations.

“We’re proud to see organizations like the Town of Tecumseh and Randall County go live on Dayforce with OnActuate as their implementation partner,” said Richard Wells, Head of Public Sector, Dayforce. “Across the public sector, Dayforce helps governments streamline HR and payroll, strengthen compliance, and better support their employees and communities. OnActuate’s delivery strength and public sector expertise make them a trusted partner for Dayforce customers.”

What’s Next: Building Momentum Together

OnActuate is building on its momentum as a go-to partner for the public sector – while expanding its practice to support more commercial organizations – through a collaborative approach that brings together Dayforce, Microsoft Dynamics 365, and OnActuate’s implementation services. As one of a limited number of partners with deep expertise implementing Dayforce and the full Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Power Platform suite, OnActuate helps organizations modernize workforce and finance operations with reduced integration complexity; and with Dayforce and Dynamics 365 both hosted on Microsoft Azure, customers benefit from a secure, scalable cloud foundation.

OnActuate is further extending this value through AI-enabled innovation, including the development of intelligent agents that connect Dayforce and Dynamics 365 to automate tasks, surface insights, and support faster, better decision-making across HR and finance.

“Public sector organizations are under increasing pressure to modernize HR and payroll while maintaining compliance and service quality,” said Marnie Larson, VP – HCM Practice, OnActuate. “These go-lives reflect our deep experience delivering Dayforce for government employers with complex workforce needs. By combining proven implementation practices with emerging AI innovation, we’re helping organizations move beyond system replacement to real operational transformation.”

Vancouver, Canada (November 2025): OnActuate, a global technology and consulting firm specializing in Microsoft business solutions, has successfully completed a Coca-Cola ERP modernization with Dynamics 365, powered by Bev365 – OnActuate’s purpose-built industry solution for global beverage bottlers. The project unifies operations and enables AI-driven insights for Coca-Cola Burkina Bottling Company (CCBBC), creating a single digital foundation that automates finance, production, and distribution while delivering real-time visibility across operations, distributors, and retail partners. This collaboration between CCBBC, OnActuate, and Microsoft marks a major step forward in advancing digital modernization across Africa’s beverage industry.

Driving Digital Transformation Across French West Africa’s Beverage Industry 

As an official Coca-Cola bottling partner, CCBBC produces, commercializes, and distributes Coca-Cola beverages across French West Africa. The company plays a pivotal role in shaping the region’s beverage landscape through operational excellence, local market leadership, and sustainable growth. 

Prior to this modernization, CCBBC relied on fragmented systems that created operational silos and limited visibility across key business functions. Financial reporting, inventory tracking, and production management were disconnected, slowing decision-making and impeding scalability. To overcome these challenges, CCBBC sought a unified, intelligent ERP platform capable of integrating all core processes. 

“Our partnership with OnActuate and Microsoft marks a turning point for CCBBC,” said Caroline Quédraogo, CEO, Coca-Cola Burkina Bottling Company. “We now have end-to-end visibility that helps us serve our customers and distribution partners faster and more efficiently.” 

Delivering Unified Operations Through Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Bev365 

OnActuate‘s implementation of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain, enhanced with Bev365, has delivered measurable operational gains for CCBBC. By streamlining finance, procurement, and inventory processes within a single integrated platform, and eliminating legacy tools and manual Excel workflows, the company has improved data accuracy, traceability, and real-time visibility across its value chain, empowering faster, more informed decision-making.  

Bev365’s embedded analytics and AI-ready features also position CCBBC to adopt predictive insights and data intelligence – driving continuous improvement and sustainable operations. 

“We’re proud to see Dynamics 365 continue to enable digital transformation across The Coca-Cola System,” said Marc Gower, Global Business Applications Director – the Coca-Cola Company, Microsoft. “Through collaboration with partners like OnActuate, organizations such as CCBBC can accelerate their modernization journey and unlock new levels of efficiency and agility.” 

Empowering Global Collaboration and Regional Growth 

This digital transformation was supported through a global collaboration between OnActuate, Microsoft’s Coca-Cola team, and the Government of Canada’s Trade Commissioner Service (TCS). The project showcases how international cooperation can help local organizations in emerging markets harness technology to compete globally. 

“Canada’s Trade Commissioner Service is delighted to have supported this partnership,” said Mamadou Ouattara, Government of Canada Trade Commissioner for Burkina Faso and Bénin. “It’s a great example of how Canadian expertise and global partnerships can drive digital innovation and sustainable development across Africa.” 

Building a Connected Future for the Beverage Industry 

With its successful go-live, CCBBC now benefits from automated reporting, connected distribution visibility, and intelligent forecasting – empowering every level of its value chain, from plant operations to point of sale. This modernization not only strengthens operational efficiency but also positions CCBBC as a leader in the region’s beverage industry digital evolution. 

The project is part of OnActuate’s expanding global impact, with its Bev365 Solution already transforming beverage organizations across North America, India, and Africa through trusted execution and deep industry expertise.

We’re honored to have been selected through a competitive process, and we look forward to delivering a future-ready HCM system that improves efficiencies, empowers employees, and drives better outcomes for City staff and residents alike.” – Greg Allgrim, Vice President, Sales – Public Sector, OnActuate

Select Wines optimizes operational efficiency and data utilization with a migration to Microsoft Cloud and an implementation of OnActuate’s data integration and analytics platform. 

Vancouver, Canada: Select Wines, a leading player in the wine distribution industry, recently completed a strategic initiative to optimize their Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central system by migrating to the Microsoft Cloud and implementing OnActuate’s Data Confluence & Insights Solution. 

“Working with OnActuate on the successful project deployment of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central to the Azure Cloud platform, backed by a new data architecture, was a key milestone for Select Wines,” said Adrienne Friesen, Business Insights & Solutions Manager, Select Wines. “Their team’s solution expertise and our mutual focus on objectives allowed us to deliver the projects as scheduled and on budget.” 

Uncorking efficiency to streamline operations

Select Wines aimed to enhance their scalability by streamlining systems, improving integration, and establishing comprehensive documentation. They also sought to simplify their customizations for better operational efficiency and improve access to real-time data on sales, inventory, and other key business areas to drive overall effectiveness. 

To address these issues, and to prepare the company to be more agile in an increasingly competitive market environment, OnActuate migrated Select Wine’s current on-premises Microsoft Dynamics Business Central to the safe, reliable and performance enhanced Azure Cloud.

The modern SaaS-based ERP solution allows the leading mineral water producer to streamline its complex business network of 128 operational plants, 6,000 distributors and 7,500 distribution trucks. 

Delhi, India: Bisleri, one of India’s largest mineral water producers, has implemented the OnActuate Bottling Solution, built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain (D365F&Sc) to streamline its complex bottling business. 

“We chose to partner with OnActuate because we were impressed with their bottling industry knowledge and excited about the functionality their bottling solution offers,” said Sayali Aklekar, Head – Information Technology, Bisleri.  

A digital transformation to elevate efficiency and customer experience 

Bisleri, with 6,000 distributors and 5,000 trucks across India and neighboring countries, sought a digital transformation to enhance operational efficiency and customer experience. Previously using Microsoft Dynamics NAV, Bisleri aims to boost manufacturing capacity at its 128 plants and network of 100+ co-packers and franchisees. The complex logistics and high sales volumes required a reliable system and a trusted partner experienced in the Food & Beverage industry. 

To kickstart the digital transformation, Bisleri selected the modern SaaS-based OnActuate Bottling Solution, built on D365F&Sc. This feature-rich ERP solution streamlines Bisleri’s complex operations and propels its digital journey to the next level. Key solution features include empty bottle management, vehicle planning, auto check-in for route settlement, and Sales Generating Asset management, among others. 

Rapid ROI for daily bottling operations 

“OnActuate’s Bottling Solution was the foundation for this successful implementation,” said Ashish Sharan, Co-Founder and COO, OnActuate. “This has been one of the largest D365F&Sc implementations of the year, helping Bisleri to manage their complex business operations across India. This is a huge step forward in Bisleri’s digital transformation journey and our team is excited and grateful to be part of it.”   

With more than 500 system users spread across India, Bisleri manages operations with a daily volume of over 5,800 sales orders, 1,800 transfer orders, 1,100 purchase invoices and 5,000 trucks plying daily across India. Many of the bottler’s business operations use complex workflows with multiple levels of approvals across different branches. 

After the new solution went live with very minimal downtime, Bisleri has streamlined its business to run more efficiently and quickly. This allows the bottler to move towards integrating other aspects of its business operations and customer connections to propel them to stay ahead in the market.
