Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central - Hits 50,000 Online Customers!
November 2025
From 45,000 in April to 50,000 in October 2025, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central continues its incredible growth — a testament to the strength of Microsoft’s vision and the power of the Dynamics ecosystem. This milestone was revealed during the Directions EMEA 2025 conference in November 2025.
​
This isn’t just a number. It reflects:
​
-
The increasing demand for scalable, cloud-based ERP solutions.
-
The trust SMBs place in Microsoft and its partner network.
-
The momentum created by ISVs, consultants, and solution architects who make Business Central work for real-world businesses.
​​
At Point11, we see this growth firsthand — as it has helped us empower our clients with tools that drive their productivity, customer satisfaction, and growth.
Congratulations to the entire Dynamics community! The future of ERP is here, and it’s accelerating.​
West Shefford Food Co. Inc. - Breaking Down Roadblocks
November 2025
​We’re thrilled to welcome West Shefford Food Co. Inc. as a new client — choosing Point11 as their Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central partner, based on another trusted recommendation from our partner Grey Suits Advisors.
West Shefford Food is a global exporter of meat and poultry, specializing in the export of frozen pork and poultry from North America and Europe to markets in Asia, including Hong Kong, China, and Taiwan. Founded in 2008 in Toronto, Canada, the company has established itself as a respected player in the international food trade. With offices in Toronto and London, West Shefford Food focuses on sourcing high-quality products and meeting the demands of its global clientele.
West Shefford Foods came to us with a system that had not been architected and configured correctly, creating roadblocks to their ERP success. Our mission: get them live, but most importantly get it right.
At Point11, we specialize in solving big ERP problems. With a proven track record in solution architecture and product development, we bring clarity, structure, and execution to even the most complex business environments.
We’re proud to be the team West Shefford Foods trust to turn things around — and we’re already making strides in rearchitecting their trading platform.
Point11 - A Philsophy
October 2025
In 2017, our founder's son Dylan Lamaca missed qualifying for the Ontario high school provincial finals in the 400m hurdles by the narrowest margin just 0.11 seconds — a blink, but one that proves to be inspirational.
That narrow miss became the inspiration for our company name, Point11 — a reminder of the razor-thin edge between good and great, and the relentless pursuit of improvement that drives us every day.
Fast forward to today: Dylan has just completed his first half marathon — a reminder that success isn’t always about speed. The hurdles race was a sprint; this was endurance.
In business, just like in running, it’s easy to want quick wins — the sprint to the finish. But true, lasting results come from consistency, resilience, and the willingness to keep showing up when the pace gets tough.
It’s a powerful reminder that in life and in business, it’s not about how fast you start — it’s about staying the course. Business isn’t a sprint. It’s a marathon.

A Bat with a Story: Toronto Blue Jays vs. Los Angeles Dodgers 2025 World Series
October 2025
This custom-made personalized Louisville Slugger isn’t just any baseball bat — it’s a 125 model, crafted from the highest quality wood designed for professional use.
It was a gift from a former client, Cardinal Carryor & Cardinal Integrated Systems from Louisville, Kentucky, nearly 20 years ago to our founder who is a big Toronto Blue Jays fan thanking him for helping salvage a failed material handling ERP project.
​
This is a perfect time to post about it with the Blue Jays taking on the Dodgers in the 2025 World Series — Let’s Go Blue Jays!!!
Homestead Growers & Amerigo Farms - Financial Clarity & Visibility
September 2025
We’re excited to share that 3rdPedal, a respected professional services consulting firm, has introduced Point11 Consulting to Homestead Growers & Amerigo Farms – North America’s leading potted Calla Lily producer for over 30 years located in Vineland, ON, York, SC and Mt. Dora, FL. Through strategic partnerships with top growers and breeders in Europe and North America, it delivers unmatched quality. With facilities in Canada’s Niagara Region, Florida, and South Carolina, the company’s ongoing expansion ensures consistent excellence and the ability to meet growing demand year-round.
While Homestead Growers excel in delivering high-quality products, they needed better clarity around the true material and labor cost of producing a potted Calla Lily, involved in all inputs and processes from procurement to production to assembly to shipping.
By aligning their ERP system and designing tailored solution with these financial best practices, Homestead Growers is gaining clear visibility into costs, margins, and overall financial health — enabling faster, data-driven decision-making.
Huge thank you to 3rdPedal for the introduction and partnership!

Point11 - Our 6th Year Anniversary
May 2025
Six years ago today, I founded Point11 Consulting Inc. 47 clients later, I only wish I’d done it sooner.
Being your own boss is both liberating and terrifying. The pressure and stress of constantly chasing opportunities never goes away. But neither does the pride that comes from building something on your own terms. I wouldn’t trade that autonomy for anything.
This year marks a pivotal “point” in our journey — we’ve expanded with the launch of our new software company, Role Tailored Solutions Inc., dedicated to creating industry — specific solutions. This next chapter is all about scaling solutions for growth through software not just services.
Grateful for the journey — and excited for what’s next. Please stay tuned for more exciting news to come.
