Distribution & Supply Chain Management

 

As a distributor, you have a unique set of industry specific requirements that are critical to the way you do business. Business issues might include serial number and lot tracking, warranty tracking, use of bar coding devices, or sophisticated usage based procurement for inventory replenishment. Designed to conform to your unique distribution and supply chain requirements, Navision Attain provides a solution to fit your needs.

Navision for Distribution consists of the following functionality options:

  • Item Substitution
  • Item Cross Reference
  • Non-Stock Item Processing
  • Contract Pricing
  • Returns Managmement
  • Usage Based Procurement
  • Extended Shipping & Receiving
  • Location Transfers
  • Warehouse Management
  • Bar Coding Devices

What's It Costing You?

Industry statistics tell us that the average distributor's inventory consists of approximately 40% dead stock and overstock. In addition, according to Gordon Graham, this idle inventory costs you another 28% of its original cost per year in various carrying costs. So the question is - what is it costing you?

Sales and marketing

With Microsoft Navision, you can synchronize sales, marketing, and ordering with Microsoft Office productivity tools, such as Microsoft Outlook. Contact, task, meeting, and e-mail information appear directly within the Microsoft Navision screen. In addition, real-time information about all your contacts can help you identify key accounts and target marketing efforts.
