The differences in the efficiency of your business process before vs. after implementing Microsoft Dynamics NAV as your ERP solution are huge. But the benefits will continue to grow as you use the system and learn more about its capabilities.
It’s important to view your ERP investment as an evolving system. Your business requirements may change over time, and as you become more familiar with your , you’ll entrust more and more aspects of your business processes to it. Your team will become more proficient and efficient and your processes more streamlined.
Here’s an example of how Microsoft Dynamics NAV use evolved over a short time for one of our clients:
worked with , a company that manufactures and distributes supplies, fixtures, and materials for retail and trade show displays, to implement Microsoft Dynamics NAV. Some benefits were seen immediately. However, just one year later, after Displays2go staff had learned the intricacies and capabilities of their system, they realized improved business intelligence, expanded resource utilization, enhanced sustainability and streamlined business processes. And the benefits are ongoing and are transforming their business.
4 New Key Capabilities:
Integration with Microsoft Power BI - By integrating , Displays2go was able to expand the capabilities of their Dynamics NAV. This analytical tool allows managers to access business intelligence helping them to forecast customer demand and ensure that appropriate amounts of inventory are on hand.
Smoother order processing – Dynamics NAV’s automated order processing now streamlines customer service, supply chain, production, and distribution. The increased efficiency has allowed Displays2go to expand its overall sales volume without bringing on new employees.
Environmental sustainability - With Dynamics NAV having eliminated the company’s heavy reliance on paper in workflow processes, Displays2go has gone a long way toward reaching their environmental sustainability goals. They have reduced their paper and toner use by over ninety-five percent and the decrease in paperwork has allowed the team to be more efficient in processing orders and invoices.
Single data source – With unrelated systems and manual processes, it was often necessary to reconcile spreadsheets and find a way to share the information. Now, with a single source of data, everyone has access to the same information whenever they need it. Information is always up to date, and team members have insight into what other departments are doing so they can coordinate efforts on behalf of customers and clients.
