Infrastructure Management White Papers

Distributor Improves Competitive Edge With Business Management Solution

Overview Since 2001, The Westye Group - Midwest has furnished high-end kitchen appliances through a network of 160 dealers. The company had been using a business solution designed for manufacturers. It did not provide the flexibility to accommodate The Westye Group's business processes, nor did it support management's information needs. The company deployed Microsoft Business Solutions - Navision (now part of Microsoft Dynamics) and gained instant insight into all aspects of its business. The solution obviates the need to hire four more information workers and will pay for itself in a year from this cost savings alone. Increased profitability analysis is driving better customer relationships and improving sales volume.
