Navision Advanced Distribution gives wholesalers a powerful way to build lasting customer relationships. Navision Advanced Distribution allows you to:

Customers inquire about their orders constantly. They need to be answered – quickly and accurately. Drill down easily from one screen to get precise information and answer any questions customers have about items, orders and shipping. With Navision Advanced Distribution, you can:

Offer Customers the Best Possible Price
Navision Advanced Distribution's contract pricing functionality provides accurate information with which to negotiate price, taking into account seasonal and item discounts. Sales or purchases that fall within the contract terms will receive the benefits of the contract agreements.

Optimize Warehouse Operations
Navision Advanced Distribution’s warehouse management functionality allows for tight levels of inventory control and tracking within one or more physical locations. This real time solution, especially important in cross docking situations, allows for one-time entry of new items. Important item information such as dimension and weight is then immediately available to warehouse personnel. Reduce workloads and errors while improving customer service levels.

Reduce labor costs for picking and putting away inventory, conducting cycle counts, and replenishing forward order picking locations. Navision Advanced Distribution provides directed, or suggested, picking features and advises warehouse personnel on where to find inventory and how it should be picked. The directed put-away feature also offers advice for where and how inventory should be placed in the warehouse.

Take Advantage of Usage Based Procurement
Use Navision Advanced Distribution to determine the least amount of inventory necessary to maintain the optimal level of customer service. Make purchasing decisions based on what customers are actually buying. Flag and review exceptional orders to determine if they should be included in the calculations, and make any necessary adjustments for greater control and accuracy. Ensure that the right items are ordered in the right amount at the right time.

Items that may represent a large amount of money, but that have never been systematically accounted for, take up valuable warehouse space and tie up precious capital. Navision Advanced Distribution helps to quickly identify these items and gives the statistical data necessary to drive good operational decisions.

Accurate direct input of data from the warehouse increases efficiency and lowers the risk of costly human errors. Use hand-held bar coding devices so that activities such as picking, packing, containerization, and cycle counting are far less time-consuming.
