Microsoft Dynamics NAV for the Food & Beverage Processing Industry
Supply Chain & Warehouse Management
NAV’s fully-integrated approach to supply-chain management is optimally suited for food processing and distribution organizations. Customer service and sales have real-time-updated access to customer quotes, orders, inventory levels and shipment verification. Each item in NAV has not only detailed information on cost, source, alternates, etc., but a photo of the item for ultimate verification. Warehouse Management can support multiple-warehouse environments, bar-code-scanning for shipping & receiving, directed puts and picks, and even multiple-languages for warehouse personnel. For shipping, NAV can be set up for rate-shopping, as well as direct interface to UPS, Fed Ex, and US Postal Service – whereby all shipping paperwork and labels are automatically created, including scale interface if needed. If needed, full EDI can be supported as well, with a variety of Trading Documents supported, including ASN(Advance Shipment Notification). Perishable inventory can be managed easily in a FEFO (First Expiry, First Out) and a full MRP (Materials Requirements Planning ) can be run at any time in NAV to auto-generate Purchase Orders based on inventory requirements and upcoming sales orders.
