What slows your industry down, and what helps.
For each industry: the challenges we hear most often in projects, the path of an order through the system and the building blocks made for it.
Orders, planning, shop floor confirmations and costs work together, without Excel in between.
Manufacturing ERP that plans with you.
NAVAX delivers manufacturing ERP on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, with the add-ons manufacturers actually need, from a graphical planning board to shop floor data collection.
Typical challenges
- Planning lives in ExcelThe graphical planning board shows orders, operations and capacities straight from the ERP. Rescheduling means dragging, not recalculating.
- Confirmations arrive on paperShop floor data collection and mobile data capture post actual times, quantities and scrap where they happen: directly to the production order.
- Variants break the costingOverhead costing before the order, post-calculation after it, both on the same bills of materials and routings. You see deviations while you can still react.
- Proof takes daysLot, serial and package numbers follow every part from goods receipt to delivery. Traceability is a query, not a search.

- The warehouse searches instead of pickingMobile data capture guides you to the bin by scanner, checks item and quantity while picking and posts immediately. FEFO or FIFO picking is included.

What stays the same, however you work.
The building blocks differ by industry. The foundation and the way there are the same.
- 01
A standard as the foundation
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central covers finance, purchasing, warehouse and sales out of the box. Our building blocks start where the standard ends.
Learn more - 02
Your processes first, then the system
We map your processes on a real order and put in writing what the standard covers and which building blocks are added, before anything is built.
Learn more - 03
No fresh start after Navision
Moving from Navision or Dynamics NAV to Business Central is an upgrade: master data and processes are carried over, customizations reviewed and, where possible, replaced by standard features or building blocks.
Learn more - 04
Cloud or your own data center
Business Central is available as a cloud service from Microsoft and for operation in your own data center. Which option fits depends on your IT landscape and your interfaces.

Frequently asked questions about industry solutions.
What companies from every industry want to know before an ERP project. Questions about your industry are answered on its industry page.
Is Business Central available as an industry solution?
Business Central is standard software for mid-sized companies. For manufacturing, wholesale distribution, professional services and construction, we add building blocks for the typical processes of the industry, such as the graphical planning board and shop floor data collection in manufacturing, EDI and webshop integration in wholesale, automated contract billing for service providers or progress and partial invoices in construction.
Our industry is not listed. Does Business Central still fit?
Often it does: the standard covers finance, purchasing, warehouse and sales across industries. Whether your processes need additional building blocks or customizations, we clarify in the first conversation.
We still work with Microsoft Dynamics NAV. Do we have to start over?
No. Moving from Navision or Dynamics NAV to Business Central is an upgrade, not a fresh start: master data and processes are carried over, customizations reviewed and, where possible, replaced by standard features or building blocks.
Does it run in the cloud or in our own data center?
Both are possible. Business Central is available as a cloud service from Microsoft and for operation in your own data center. Which option suits you depends, among other things, on your IT landscape and your interfaces.
How is an industry ERP implemented?
In stages rather than on a single cut-over date. We first map your processes, define what the standard covers and which building blocks are added, and then implement step by step. Each stage goes live before the next one begins.
