Distribution Case Study
Improved Efficiency with CBS and Microsoft Navision
The Business Requirements
“The system must be sufficiently complex to cope with substantially improving efficiency, yet simplistic enough for untrained customers to select the collection they require”.
- Reliable & efficient accounting solution
- Inventory with multiple variants; price, colour, size, collection code etc.
- Create purchase orders that can be downloaded to Italy via FTP.
- Increase efficiency of warehouse employees
- Full integration with Retail-Pro System
- Simplify existing manual processes
The Business Solution
“By automating the process of receiving files from Italy, entering the inventory and calculating price, Microsoft Business Solutions Navision Edition has removed manual processes saving us time and money”.
Purchase orders are downloaded directly onto the server in Italy via the Internet. The stock has a bar code against it aiding the picking process. If the bar codes do not match the pick note it will not be verified, thus eradicating previous problems of sending products to the wrong customers.
“We have reduced the time taken to complete a stock take by using the bar codes”.
CBS integrated Navision Edition with Retail-Pro allowing journals to be produced showing what has come in and gone out of stock.
“Navision Edition’s ability to integrate with Retail-Pro is extremely impressive”.
Return on Investment:
“We have significantly reduced our resource costs due to the automation of many of our processes”
“We have significantly reduced our documentation and now operate standardised logical processes using Navision to record and orchestrate our procedures”.
