If you are in the furniture industry and are searching for a new ERP system for your company, you might be wondering if furniture and Dynamics NAV is a good combination. Is it possible to use Microsoft's ERP in the furniture industry? And what is a furniture industry ERP?
In this blog post, we will answer these questions.
Furniture & Dynamics NAV
In the furniture industry, there is much to keep track of: products, purchase, manufacturing, suppliers, and customers to name a few things. Some of the companies we work with at TRIMIT, have started out by i.e. using a couple or more IT systems to manage their business processes, but as they have grown, so has their need for a single business solution like Microsoft Dynamics NAV.
Dynamics NAV is a flexible ERP that delivers functionality, performance, and ease of use to diverse businesses around the world.
Here is an illustration of the business areas covered by Dynamics NAV:
Since Dynamics NAV can be used across many industries and types of businesses, a furniture company will most likely need to have the solution customized to its needs. The solution can be adjusted by i.e.:
- Adding add-ons
- Working with a Microsoft partner to develop the needed features and functions
- Buying a ready-made furniture software solution based on Dynamics NAV
At TRIMIT, we develop the last mentioned - a Microsoft Dynamics NAV Certified solution for the furniture industry. In the following we will have a look at what a furniture solution based on Microsoft Dynamics NAV is.
Furniture Industry ERP
Dynamics NAV can be customized by Microsoft partners, which means that a furniture company can buy the solution and have it adjusted to match its needs. Specific features and functions need to be described, developed, tested, and implemented. This process can be quite costly and time-consuming for a single company.
At TRIMIT, we develop a furniture industry ERP based on Dynamics NAV. The functionality in TRIMIT Furniture is developed and refined based on input from customers and partners in the furniture industry since 1990.
Here is an illustration that shows the difference between a customized solution and our furniture industry solution:
TRIMIT Furniture comes with furniture-specific functionality that makes it easy to manage products with many variants, product configuration, multi-level BOMs etc. - All you need to manage your business from design to delivery.
Instead of spending a lot of time and money on customization, furniture companies can take advantage of the knowledge, features, and functions that are already built into TRIMIT Furniture.
The solution covers most of what a company needs out of the box, and adjustments are easily added by TRIMIT partners.
