Unified Manufacturing: End-to-end Business Software Solutions

June 10, 2016/in ERP Software /by Nancy Phillippi

Business software solutions, also called Enterprise resource planning (ERP), are designed to help companies collect, store, manage and interpret data. According to “The Unified Manufacturing Environment: Transparency, Collaborations, and Decision-Making with End-to-End ERP”, it is used by a staggering 97% of leading manufacturing organizations to help business management operations run more efficiently, but it can also be hinder operations. Using a standard ERP program can make it difficult to get the full picture of your business operations when not integrated with other important company data, such as production scheduling, manufacturing execution and order management.

NAV workflows ensure your business follows best practices by automating approval requests and request notifications. What makes this functionality even more impressive in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016, is that your business can use more than 20 workflow templates to connect business processes according to best practices.

However, if they price an item below a certain margin percentage a workflow could kickoff that would require the controller, sales manager and/or the CFO to approve the order prior to shipping. This is especially important to manufacturing companies and of course any distributor.
