Many small, midsized and enterprise distribution company facilities are relying on Microsoft Dynamics NAV because this solution provides a complete and total combination of distribution, warehouse, procurement, inventory, and collaboration with financial management, CRM and other important business processes. Microsoft Dynamics NAV offers a smooth interface with other business software you are using, including Microsoft Outlook, Word, SharePoint and OneNote integration. This flexible software product has exceptional “out of the box” functionality for quick implementation or can be customized for your company’s specific requirements. NAV is also multilingual and multi-currency enabled in order to adapt to most other languages and currencies.
There are three fundamental facets that Microsoft Dynamics NAV addresses in order to provide the best distribution platform solution:
- Warehouse Management: physical management of inventory, including zones, bins, skid pallets, stock replenishment and depletion, automatic data capture systems, serial number tracking, units of measure, etc.
- Inventory Costing: all the accounting aspects of distribution stock management, costs of goods sold, landed costs, import and export costs, etc.
- Sales and Purchases: the purchase and sales of items as well as campaigns, warranty, returns management, restocking fees, credit control and cash collection
Microsoft Dynamics NAV solutions offer unparalleled distribution management, warehouse management, assembly management and other specialized solutions that make it easier to control these operations and provide awareness to make improvements and increase your company’s development and growth. NAV 2013 offers cost accounting, cash flow forecasting for stronger analytics and reporting enhancements that integrate with Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. These solutions also offer fantastic business intelligence tools and powerful reporting features that make it easier to provide data to upper management and owners and to your vendors and suppliers for future negotiations.
Also in NAV 2013, there are modules such as Item Availability by Timeline and Event, which is able to deliver data visualization graphics; Supply Planning Enhancements, which offers new reordering period fields; and Streamline Warehouse Operations, which allows you to move items to and from internal departments more efficiently.
There are good user adoption statistics with Microsoft Dynamics NAV because it has the look and feel of other commonly used Microsoft products, so your team feels at ease with the comparable menus and features. The ability to customize each user’s display with RoleTailored Client navigation makes it easier for the team to use what they need and hide what they won’t use within the system.
