Mazars, a global international tax audit and advisory firm, provides comprehensive consulting services across various disciplines. Within the Management Technology Group and Systems Integration Practice, Mazars has a dedicated team focused on delivering Microsoft solutions within the ERP sphere and across the full stack of Business Applications and Modern Workplace environments.

Andrew Reeck, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Commerce & Retail Manager at Mazars, elucidates that the D365 team comprises more than 50 technical and functional resources specialising in business applications across multiple verticals. With many experts boasting a tenure of over 20 years within the fashion and retail industry, Mazars is uniquely positioned to deliver excellence and innovation to its clients.

In fact, Mazars already serves some of the world’s largest fashion brands and fashion houses, providing D365 support and services to retailers, wholesalers, and direct-to-consumer companies in both B2B and B2C capacities. The business differentiates itself from other systems integrators, specifically in the D365 marketplace, due to its myriad service lines that span audit, tax advisory, accounting, cybersecurity, change management, and organisational resilience. This allows Mazars to leverage its global talent experience and insights from different service lines to provide further client value.

“Fashion and apparel is an exciting industry because it never stops, is always changing, and literally touches everyone whether we realise it or not. Within the Microsoft team at Mazars, we’re laser-focused on doing more with less – a trend that resonates well within the fashion space,” explained Andrew.

Mazars recognises and understands that fashion and apparel is a dynamic industry with demands and requirements changing day by day. To ensure that excellence is delivered, the business hones in on what makes the industry specific so that it can exceed expectations. This is where K3’s solutions play a pivotal role. With a north star focus on fashion and apparel, K3’s solutions are built with the industry’s biggest challenges and trends in mind, helping to augment the already robust and advanced solutions that Microsoft brings to market. Speaking on the partnership between Mazars and K3, Andrew added:

“We carefully choose partners based on who brings additional value into our engagements, helping to ensure that our clients can determine and quantify an ROI on their investment. K3 is an innovator who stays ahead trends and develops the functionality needed to ensure our customers’ success. So, it was clear to us that K3 filled an urgent void.”

Since penning the partnership, Mazars and K3 have enjoyed considerable success with multiple joint customer wins by working closely together to build cohesive solutions that add the functionality brands seek. Andrew spoke about how partnerships are two-way streets and that Mazars finds K3 the best-calibre partner due to its forthcoming nature, highlighted by the many events the two companies have celebrated.

“Ultimately, our partnership adds the most value to our clients through the offering that we create together – it’s not just a matter of Mazars implementing K3’s solution, but a matter of Mazars working with K3’s experts to better understand how our clients can get the most value out of our combined solution. The meeting of our collective minds is what truly empowers us both to deliver excellence and innovation at scale,” concluded Andrew.

In the not-so-distant future, Mazars will establish an innovation lab together with K3 in New York that offers a physical space for clients (whether current or future) to witness real-world problem-solving through tangible solutions. We both eagerly anticipate inviting businesses to join us in the innovation lab to showcase the robustness of our joint solution.
