We’ve all been there. It’s late in the bid process and you need “just one more piece of information” to make your proposal stand out and win that next grant. Unfortunately, that last golden gem of information is stored in your overseas field office in an excel spreadsheet on a personal laptop, or worse your Chief-of-Party is the only one with the knowledge that you seek and not available until 3am when the field office re-opens. Ah… the life of a busy program manager.

Fortunately, you have Microsoft Dynamics GP as your accounting and ERP system, so finding that information is a snap. You open your Dynamics GP software and navigate to your personalized home page where you find your information right there waiting for you. What? You are an international NGO, and you need more than accounting data to fill out that bid sheet? You need to access additional information about your Grants and Programs? Not a problem!

With Microsoft Dynamics GP your accounting system is based on an architecture that allows your non-profit organization to manage more than just financial statements. So whether you need access to grants, donor funds, or more granular data regarding the effectiveness of your oversea programs, your information is always available at the touch of a button.

Manage you Mission not your Process

With Microsoft Dynamics GP for non profits your accounting system can become much more than a database full of debits and credits. It can transform your operations and provide you with a single platform that provides vital business intelligence that is easily accessible on demand. So instead of staying up and watching that infomercial at 2am, while your staff arrives to work overseas, go ahead open that pivot chart and drill down on that embedded information and deliver the answers you need to win your next project. Not only will your Executive Director be happy, you’ll bring a smile to the face of someone thousands miles away because you are still focused on what matters – your mission.

To learn more about how to enable your non-profit or International NGO to use Dynamics GP or other project management software for your organization contact Sentrien Systems to learn how Dynamics GP can help your non profit organization improve its mission. Sleep tight.

Use Dynamics GP And Transform Your Warehouse Into A High Performance Distribution Center

Distribution Centers today are under increasing pressure to deliver efficient pick, pack and ship processes, while simultaneously coping with a myriad of challenges facing their industry. While many of us may not have walked through a Distribution Center, consider that every time you visit your local grocery store, you are in fact acting as your personal picker, fulfilling your personal order – your grocery list. Now imagine what you would feel like if your local supermarket couldn’t stock the correct quantities of your favorite items. One week they are short on your favorite cookies, the next week they’re on sale due to overstock conditions. Not good. Or consider an even worse scenario. You arrive at your local market and ask for those double chocolate chip morsels, and are told that they’re in stock, but stuck in the back warehouse behind the produce that just arrived! I’d bet, rather than settle for second rate sweets, you would just stop at another market on the way home to satisfy that sweet tooth!

When you consider that your favorite grocery aisle is actually the “forward pick” location of your local grocer’s bulk warehouse, perhaps you too can begin to appreciate how a forward pick warehouse employee looks at all those rows of products sitting in bins on the warehouse shelves. Faced with some of the same challenges as you are when shopping for your next meal, Distributors need fresh product on their warehouse shelf, in quantities that can meet the demand for the customer orders taken each day.

Forward looking Distribution Companies are positioned to execute strategically and outmaneuver their laggard competitors. Are you prepared?

Product sitting in the bulk location, in large unpacked palettes or containers, is lost revenue and adds overhead costs to their operations. Unfortunately, those “lost profits” add even more burden on top of the already difficult mandates that a distributor must deal with. To improve operations, items in bulk staging should be moved to forward pick locations constantly throughout the day, as orders are being received, so that customer orders can be picked, packed and shipped on time, with the lowest labor cost possible and delivered to you right when you need it.

Fortunately, for Distribution Centers using Dynamics GP there is a solution that allows this simple process to unfold thousands of times each day. With Microsoft Dynamics GP, and a quality Warehouse Management Solution like Appolis’ WithoutWire Warehouse, distributors can have the visibility they need to move products around the shop floor based on real-time order status. If you want to strengthen your warehouse operations, consider a WMS solution alongside your Dynamics GP implementation. After all, those chocolate chip cookies are too good to miss the next time your sweet tooth begins to tug.
