More flexible production planning
Respond effectively to production problems with Microsoft Dynamics GP solutions that use manufacturing modes such as engineer-to-order, make-to-order, make-to-stock, or mixed/hybrid modes. You decide and define your best practices and how you want the planning system to execute.
More accurate estimating and quoting
Efficiently align customer requirements with your capabilities by maintaining a standardized product line and using your previous experience with a customer to suggest the most effective equipment. Microsoft Dynamics GP helps you plan for standard components, thereby reducing lead time. And you can record customer requirements accurately and reuse the information in future quotes, helping you prevent possible omissions or mistakes.
Improved customer satisfaction
After the sale, you still need to provide outstanding service to ensure customer loyalty. Microsoft Dynamics GP helps you track each project from its conceptual design all the way to its final “as-built” configuration. Tracking helps service personnel deliver the right parts—a critical first step towards effective preventive maintenance.
Enhanced communication and collaboration
Microsoft Dynamics GP is a full enterprise resource planning (ERP) system that merges the worlds of manufacturing, supply chain management, and the back office. With synchronized communication and clear visibility into engineering design changes, you can collect, organize, and review changes to orders and make better-informed business decisions.
More efficient project management
Good project management accounts for resources such as materials, capacity, engineers, service personnel, critical paths, and slack time, helping you deliver on time. With Microsoft Dynamics GP, you can set budgets, manage billing, review current costs, and track activities and resources related to a project at many levels of detail. You can also leverage knowledge and content from existing or prior projects to improve your processes and avoid mistakes.
