Navision Differences
Targeted to small, medium-sized and some large companies with $10
- $500 Million in revenues.
Customization. Navision is known for its customization capabilities.
There are many third party solutions that are available that have
been written using Navision customization tools.
Rock solid performance. Customers consistently give high
marks to Navision's reliability and speed.
Dimensional reporting. By attaching dimensions to transactions,
it is possible to analyze business performance across multiple dimensions.
Financial reporting. Financial reporting is based on transactions
and not monthly buckets. Financial reports can easily and quickly
be generated for any date range. Financial report writer also used
for analysis of item ledgers – what sold, what purchased… with control
over rows and columns with drilldown.
Navigation. Navision provides superior tools to easily drill
down for detailed information.
Resellers. We have consistently heard positive comments
on the resellers from Navision clients. Navision requires that resellers
attend extensive training.
Databases. Navision was developed using the C/Side database.
Navision has offered their system with Microsoft SQL Server since
1999 and today about 35% of new Navision systems are sold with the
Microsoft SQL Server database. Normally we recommend industry standard
technology such as Microsoft SQL Server. However, with Navision,
the empirical evidence is that C/Side is fast and bullet-proof.
Granular pricing. You don't need to purchase what you don't
use. You purchase features rather than a module that contains features
that you may not use.
Supply Chain. Navision includes warehouse management, production,
and returns management.
Inter-company transactions. Automatic balancing between
legal entities. A PO created in 1 company creates a draft sales
order in the other company ready to be approved
