In the manufacturing industry, running an efficient workflow is essential to the well-being of your business. If you're still relying on an outdated legacy system for your business management solutions, chances are your enterprise is not performing as well as it could. 

Maintenance
Companies that use legacy systems find themselves constantly spending money on upgrades and repairs. ERP business management software, like from Microsoft Dynamics NAV, is always evolving and upgrading, and the deployment experts at Accent Software know the Microsoft business software extremely well.

Inventory
Every product that lingers in your warehouse costs money. If you produce too many units, you may have to rent additional storage space. Destroying unsold units also costs money, and it's a terrible waste. The Microsoft Dynamics NAV inventory management system provides accurate and up-to-date demand planning tools so you can produce exactly what customers need, no more or less. These systems allow you to keep inventory as low as possible, and keep it moving quickly. Ian Whiting of CIO noted that ERP software also lets you identify slow-moving inventory and change its price to adapt.

Purchasing
Your customers aren't the only important clients in your ecosystem. You also have to maintain relationships with suppliers, and a poorly-managed purchasing process can strain that relationship. An ERP system allows your team to synchronize purchasing and sales activities. You can analyze your sales data and apply that information to your purchases, ensuring correct orders and a smooth relationship with suppliers and customers.
