Distribution Overview

Navision's distribution functionality enables companies to increase customer service while reducing the cost of carrying items in inventory. Employees who work directly with customers have all of the tools necessary to respond to customers' requests. Users can quickly check on the availability of items in inventory, provide customers with an accurate delivery date, and process special requests, like drop shipments.

Navision adeptly handles all types of items, including ones that require 'special attention.' Whether the items are lot & serialized, non-stock, require special handling, or have non-standard units of measure, Navision can track them with ease. This flexibility reduces the amount of time and effort required to manage inventory. Less time means lower carrying costs.

Navision even helps companies reduce the amount of inventory they need to carry and improve their inventory turnover. Users can either define how and when to replenish inventory items or allow Navision to suggest optimal inventory levels based on prior sales history. In either case, Navision assists purchasers by automating much of the process.

Of course, Navision distribution is fully integrated to all other areas of the Navision system, including Accounting, Warehousing, eCommerce, and Manufacturing.
