Customized or Vertical Solution
Out of the box, Dynamics NAV is a generic business software which means that it most likely does not support all business needs that you will encounter in the apparel and fashion industry - like for instance PDM, collection management, embroidery, logo placement etc.
In order to make the solution handle fashion-specific challenges, there are some different options. The fashion company can for instance:
- Have Dynamics NAV customized
- Buy a vertical / industry-specific solution
The illustration below shows the difference between a single company working with a developer company to have Dynamics NAV customized vs. many companies working with a company which develops an industry-specific solution.
