Any manufacturing business knows how vital it is to have a proper system for controlling product data. However, if you are using Dynamics AX|NAV, you have limited ability to control and manage product data.
An upgrade from Dynamics AX|NAV to Dynamics 365|BC solves this issue as the latter offers an advanced change management functionality, easing product data management.
With 18+ years of experience offering solutions on Dynamics 365 to manufacturers, we have often been asked, "Should my manufacturing business migrate from Dynamics AX|NAV to Dynamics 365|BC"?
The short answer is Yes. And you must do it now.
This article will help you understand the key benefits of migrating from Dynamics AX|NAV to Dynamics 365|BC Finance and Supply Chain Management for a smoother ERP integration.
Migrating from Dynamics AX|NAV to Dynamics 365|BC Finance and Supply Chain Management can benefit manufacturing companies seeking to integrate ERP systems.
Dynamics 365 is built on a cloud-native architecture, allowing manufacturing companies to scale their operations seamlessly. As business needs evolve, you can easily adapt to changing requirements, whether it’s adding more users, expanding into new markets, or accommodating increased data volume.
Dynamics 365 can support a growing business as you can scale quickly using the monthly subscription model, which allows you to buy what you need. This scalability reduces the need for heavy upfront investments in hardware and IT infrastructure. When looking to integrate your ERP, it is best to select an integration that automates the import of large data volumes coming from the Product Lifecycle Management.
Dynamics 365 offers a broader range of features compared to Dynamics AX|NAV. It encompasses finance, manufacturing, supply chain management, sales, customer service, and more, in a unified solution. This integration means as a manufacturer, you can manage your entire business cycle within a single platform, eliminating the need for multiple disparate systems and improving data quality and consistency.
