Integration, Workflow & Automation Expertise
- Guide integration patterns for BC, including APIs, OData, events, data mappings, and Power Automate connectivity.

- Ensure Cavallo’s system designs align with BC’s standards for customizations, extensions, and dataflows.
GP → BC Migration Leadership
- Strengthen Cavallo’s migration framework by defining GP-to-BC workflow transitions and identifying where Mission Control replaces legacy GP functionality.
- Improve migration playbooks, partner readiness, and delivery templates to ensure consistent, repeatable BC implementations.
Cross-Functional Enablement
- Serve as the primary resource for internal teams needing expert guidance on BC functionality, workflow design, automation opportunities, and ERP constraints.
- Support Sales and Marketing by educating them on BC workflows and how Cavallo’s products improve the ERP experience and remove costly custom development.
- Partner with UX and Engineering on best practices for designing complex, multi-step BC-driven workflows with strong logic and intuitive structures.
Customer & Partner Engagement
- Engage directly with distributors, partners, and BC consultants to gather insights on real-world workflows and validate architectural decisions.
- Advise on how Cavallo’s products can fill gaps, replace custom development, and reduce implementation risk across BC environments.
- Participate in customer discovery, workflow mapping sessions, and complex implementations as the BC subject matter expert.
Data Modeling & Cross-ERP Structure
- Contribute to the Profit Max Platform’s (PMP) multi-ERP data model by defining BC mappings that align across other ERPs (Acumatica, NetSuite, GP, etc.).
- Ensure BC-specific workflows, data structures, and automation logic integrate cleanly with Cavallo’s margin and operational intelligence frameworks.

- Background working with data models, integration patterns, or multi-system automation.
What Success Looks Like
