Microsoft Dynamics NAV - Overview

Microsoft Dynamics NAV (formerly Microsoft® Business Solutions-Navision®) is an integrated Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution designed for growing mid-market companies that want the freedom to focus on their business.

Today's demands put a lot of pressure on your business. In order to outpace your competitors, you need to stay in touch with your customers and partners, you need to find ways to empower your employees so they can be more productive, and you need to stay in control of finances.

The reality may be that your current business software no longer fits your needs and modifying it is impossible or at least very expensive.  Your system may not give you a clear picture of your financial situation, or perhaps your suppliers or customers are demanding a different set of technologies than you currently have.  As importantly, your employees could be wasting a lot of time working around the shortcomings of the system - bending to its rules and whims, rather than the other way around.

Whatever you do can't disrupt your daily business, because we all know that just a few days of downtime can spell disaster for any business.

Turn to Microsoft Dynamics NAV
Microsoft Dynamics NAV integrates critical financial, operations, customer, distribution, and e-commerce data into one solution you can implement rapidly, learn and use easily, and fully customise and maintain with minimal disruption to your business. 

With an integrated ERP system you will eliminate interfaces between different systems and lower the maintenance. With more standardised data you will earn easier and greater reporting capabilities.

Theta Systems can implement Microsoft Dynamics NAV much faster using the Rapid Implementation Methodology (RIM).

The strength of Microsoft Dynamics NAV is its unique and highly flexible architecture which integrates the available modules seamlessly. You still have the choice of the modules you need:

• Financial Management. Manage your general ledger, payables, receivables, inventory, sales process, purchasing, fixed assets and cash flow. Perform bank reconciliation and collections.
• Inventory Management and Forecasting. Having the right goods stocked with the right quantity to fulfil or exceed your customers’ expectations is the key for efficient inventory management. Let the system suggest you when and what to buy based on sales history. The Inventory Forecast module will also identify trends, seasonality and sporadic usage.
• Warehouse Management can help you manage goods and space more effectively, reduce costs and waste, and gain control over warehouse operations. Tightly integrate order processing, manufacturing, and warehouse functionality to help optimise layout and space utilization.
• Analytics & Reporting. Manage budgets, create and consolidate reports and look for trends and relationships in any part of your business.
• HR Management. Manage your human resources, from skills mapping, recruitment and employee registration, to skills development.
• Project Management. Manage your resources, forecast your costs and budgets, track time and expenses, and manage contracts and billing.
• CRM. Manage customer groups, create and launch marketing campaigns, track customer activity, manage sales and after-sales.
• Field Service Management. Set up and manage service contracts, enter and track service calls, view schedules and optimise workloads across resources.
• Manufacturing. Manage your entire manufacturing process from product configuration, supply and capacity requirements planning, to scheduling and shop floor.
• Supply Chain Management. Manage single or multi-site warehouses and handle order promising, demand planning and online collaboration with suppliers.
• Retail Management. Manage retail operations from point-of-sale to delivery, increase customer flow and cash-in, speed up lines and tasks, control inventory, and automate purchasing.
• E-Commerce. Let customers and suppliers do business with you anytime through Web sites or by connecting their system directly to yours.
