TECHNOLOGIES: Microsoft Dynamics NAV
The previous ERP system was only able to efficiently map the complex customer-specific processes to a limited extent. In addition, maintaining the extensive master data took too much time because the system could not be operated intuitively. The new ERP system should also be able to create automated bills of materials. This is made difficult by the fact that numerous articles are versions of basic articles that are refined with stickers or varnishes, resulting in a large number of product variants. And since the assortment is also displayed on different platforms, the creation of a virtual inventory of these “special articles” – as well as the price calculation – represented an additional obstacle. As sales were to be supported by a rim configurator, this also had to be integrated into the ERP system.
Our main focus is on customer-specific processes. First of all, we analyzed the existing master data. During a migration, it is not only relevant what will be (newly) mapped in the future, but also how the inventory data will fit into the system. With the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) by Lobster, we have standardized all data streams. Where there used to be ten formats, there is now only one that Microsoft Dynamics NAV can process quickly and easily. We also took a closer look at the customer-specific processes. While processes such as quoting and invoicing always appear to be standardized, acutally every company and every employee has their own processes, which the solution had to accommodate. AD Vimotion GmbH has therefore received the best software in terms of total costs with an intuitive learning curve for the administrators. They can now connect customers and suppliers much faster. In the future, further business processes will be automated with the help of Microsoft Dynamics NAV.
we solved it.
