Leicestershire based brewer future-proofs ERP solution integrated with Drink‑IT® from The NAV People
Newbury, UK, 16th August 2016 – Everards is upgrading to the latest version of Microsoft Dynamics NAV with The NAV People, to underpin its ambitious expansion plans as the company lays the foundation for future growth. Dynamics NAV has radically reduced the number of manual tasks undertaken across the organisation and fully automated the purchase order approvals process within the Property Management department. The new functionality delivered from the deployment of the nAblement Suite is supporting Everards in modernising its customer portal, implementing an online order and delivery tracking system.
Everards had been using Dynamics NAV since 2006 and wanted to add features to their existing platform and extend the solution’s capabilities. The company upgraded to the nAblement Suite, a set of applications created by The NAV People and certified by Microsoft, which has provided Everards with a modern, robust, and flexible platform that can grow and change with the business.
Steve Tice, IT Manager, from Everards comments: ‘The NAV People has delivered a modernised platform with the functionality to support our current needs and into the future. The solution we have now is seamlessly blended and immensely intuitive, it delivers a great user experience. We have several developments in the pipeline to provide improved services to our customers and in The NAV People we have a partner with the expertise and experience to deliver our vision.’
Everards have been able to increase visibility across the organisation and raise data integrity through creating a single repository of information. The NAV People developed the capability for stand-alone systems used within the business to be connected into Dynamics NAV. One such example is the company’s telesales system, which automatically submits generated sales orders directly in to Dynamics NAV. Additionally, all customer contact information is managed and stored within Dynamics NAV and serves as the single source of truth for a number of other business systems within the company.
Ian Humphries, Managing & Product Director at The NAV People comments; ‘The nAblement suite developed by The NAV People adds amazing features to Dynamics NAV and dramatically extends the solution’s capabilities. Everards are a prime example of a company benefitting from the modular approach of Dynamics NAV and building on it to meet their exact business requirements. The solution is extremely flexible providing assurance that it will be able to support the business well into the future. ’
