We do not believe in industry solutions because they are overloaded and rigid. Developed from individual solutions, industry solutions contain many functions that you do not need at all. Furthermore, industry solutions are not expandable if you build up new business areas or grow. As a result, you are restricted, bound and inflexible.
Instead of developing industry solutions, we always orientate ourselves on the standard ERP solution Dynamics 365 Business Central (formerly Dynamics NAV/Navision) and use other technologies such as Microsoft Office 365, the Microsoft Power Platform and industry-specific add-ons. If processes cannot be mapped, our experienced developers will program individual adaptations for you. This distinguishes us significantly from our competitors.
The structure is modular. Your system remains updatable and flexible, so that you can map extensions quickly and easily. And you remain independent of the provider.
The use of different programs, the location dependency and a missing overview of your inventory challenge you? We know the challenges faced by farms and provide them with solutions ranging from quality assurance to route planning to the customer.
Are you currently doing your work from your desk and exchanging documents with suppliers and customers via an unmanageable mail traffic? In addition, do you maintain data at various locations in separate systems? For example, do you use one tool for production planning and one for quality assurance and these do not interact?
Do you want to have mobile and location-independent access to your data and benefit from time-saving and efficiency-enhancing tools?
Your challenges:
“But our processes are much too individual for a standard solution?” But at this point you underestimate the solution. Experience has shown that we can map about 90 % of projects in the standard. The basis is always the industry-independent standard ERP solution Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (formerly Dynamics NAV/Navision).
If the standard solution is not sufficient, we can solve some challenges quite easily with our own add-ons or those of our partners. In addition, Microsoft products such as Microsoft Office 365 or the Microsoft Power Platform complete your business software so that you can work perfectly
If you require further special functionalities, we can also solve your challenges by individual adaptations. Take a look at the requirements we have already implemented in practice for our existing customers. Can you find yourself again? If not, please contact us and together we will find a solution for you.
