The traditional method of using a variety of systems to manage a business causes inaccuracies, islands of information and poor knowledge across a business, and this often impacts on profitability. However, the days of running several unconnected systems to manage a business are quickly becoming a thing of the past, due to the rise of ERP and this is not a bad thing.
ERP (now more often called Business Management Suites) have significantly increased in popularity over the past few years as more and more businesses realise that implementing a solution can streamline internal processes, enabling them to reduce their overall operating costs and subsequently enhance their profitability.
So what Business Management Solutions are available?
Concentrix is a Microsoft Gold Partner and Sage Accredited Business Partner and supplies ‘best in breed’ solutions including Sage 200 Suite and Microsoft Dynamics NAV.
Both Sage 200 and Microsoft Dynamics NAV are extremely popular solutions, and we have a comparison of Sage 200 and Microsoft Dynamics NAV on our website.
Sage 200 Suite
Sage 200 is a genuine business wide application, so rather than having to run separate, an unconnected piece of software to manage your business, Sage 200 enables you to do it from within one piece of software. What’s more, because Sage 200 is an integrated solution which connects with all the main functions of your business, it delivers massive gains in efficiency and effectiveness.
Sage 200 is a modular solution. However the two foundation modules are:
- Sage 200 Financials
- Sage 200 CRM
There are also a variety of industry and process specific modules available including:
- Sage 200 Commercials
- Sage 200 Project Accounting
- Sage 200 Construction
- Sage 200 Manufacturing
- Sage 200 Point of Sale
- Sage 200 Wholesale and Retail
- Sage 200 Business Analysis and Forecasting
Microsoft Dynamics NAV
Microsoft Dynamics NAV is a cost effective, robust and highly flexible mid-market business management solution. It is a fully integrated solution which will bring your whole organisation together as it integrates all departments including, Manufacturing, Sales, Marketing and Human Resources.
In addition Microsoft Dynamics NAV has extensive business intelligence and reporting facilities which will help you to uncover valuable nuggets of information, enabling you to make more informed business decisions.
By comparison to Sage 200, the design of Microsoft Dynamics NAV is based around people’s roles and the tasks they perform. Essentially Microsoft Dynamics works with people, the way they do their jobs, and the way they work in their departments.
The standard functionality of Microsoft Dynamics NAV includes financial management, supply chain management, manufacturing, sales, marketing, human resource management, project management and service management. It also has a standalone accounting solution.
