Manufacturing and Production Software


ERP solutions for the manufacturing industry

To meet the needs of the manufacturing industry, SSYH recommends a Microsoft Dynamics NAV solution, paired with job management applications from Cost Control Software.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV Solutions for Manufacturing
Manufacturing is still a major engine in today's economy. The fundamental success factors in this industry remain constant: produce the right products - in the right quantities, at the right time, with good quality, and at a set price the customer is willing to pay. However, flexibility and continuous improvements are also imperative.

Success includes the flexibility to respond to emerging markets, such as today's growth opportunities in China and Eastern Europe, and the ever-changing needs of the customers. Capitalizing on these opportunities and demands involves quickly adapting to new approaches, trading partners, and procurement strategies.

SSYH offers integrated, adaptable business applications based on Microsoft Dynamics NAV for small and medium-sized organizations and divisions of large enterprises. These integrated solutions work like and with familiar Microsoft software and help automate and improve financial, customer relationship, and supply chain management.

With SSYH's Microsoft Dynamics NAV solution, your manufacturing organization can:

  • Integrate communication and collaboration. Synchronize communication between engineering, manufacturing, and subcontractors. For example, if engineering makes design changes, operations can know the details immediately. To ensure the increased agility in engineering is supported by your subcontractors, your communication solution needs to integrate with your enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. Product data management and integration between computer-aided design (CAD) and Microsoft Dynamics solutions have helped customers improve product design. Engineers can get an overview or reported errors in drawings, and manufacturing can confirm the latest design is being produced. Business portals let you share information within your systems through the Web to the right people at the right time to keep your business moving forward and your customers happy.
  • Deliver outstanding customer service. Landing a contract or making the sale isn't enough. You need to provide outstanding after-sales service to ensure customer loyalty. With Microsoft Dynamics solutions, you can track a project from design through "as-built" configuration. The bottom line: Your service personnel will be able to deliver the right parts - a critical first step towards effective preventive maintenance. Microsoft Dynamics CRM gives you access to deep customer knowledge based on past experiences, helping you identify and meet or exceed your service-level agreements (SLAs) and contract requirements.
  • Provide accurate estimating and quoting. You can efficiently align customer requirements with your capabilities by maintaining a standardized product line and using your previous experience with a customer to suggest the most effective equipment. Microsoft Dynamics NAV can help you plan for standard components, thereby reducing lead time. In many cases the subsequent discovery of omissions or mistakes poses the biggest challenge; Microsoft Dynamics CRM can help you record customer requirements accurately and reuse the information in future quotes.
  • Deliver flexible product planning. Production planners often struggle with keeping each job separate and visible in order to match specific customer requirements with resources. When production-runs encounter problems, planning or engineering needs to change the process. But in many cases, these changes are lost in aggregate production activities and data. To help you respond effectively, the Microsoft Dynamics NAV solution supports manufacturing modes such as engineer-to-order, make-to-order, make-to-stock, or mixed/hybrid modes. You decide and define your best practices and how you want the planning system to execute. Additionally, wireless technology can help increase the capability and flexibility of your plan and workers.
  • Efficiently manage products. Good project management accounts for resources such as materials, capacity, engineers, service personnel, critical paths, and slack time, helping you deliver on time. It also helps you identify the completion state of tasks and provides you an overview status of the project. With the Microsoft Dynamics NAV solution, you can set budgets, manage billing, review current costs, and track activities and resources related to a project at many levels of detail. You can also leverage knowledge and content from existing or prior projects to improve your processes and avoid mistakes.

Job Manager from Cost Control Software
Organizations that engineer or manufacture to order have unique business requirements that demand technology solutions designed to meet their special needs and workflow.
SSYH and Cost Control Software deliver a Microsoft Dynamics® NAV solution for manufacturing and job shops that will lead to tangible economic growth for your business.

We feel your pain. Both SSYH and Cost Control Software have experience working with companies like yours in the manufacturing and job shop industry. Many are unable to track labor, not to mention labor allocation to a specific job. More often than not, these companies don’t know what each of their jobs cost, or whether their jobs are profitable. The problem is often caused by multiple systems that aren’t integrated, which results in “islands of data” requiring redundant data entry which is time consuming and leads to errors.

Integrate your accounting and production software. Microsoft Dynamics NAV paired with Job Manager provides a fully integrated solution for manufacturing and job shops, In addition to providing instant access to vital company data and eliminating redundant data entry, integrated systems increase productivity, improve customer service and reduce costs.

Increase profitability through project costing. With each job or project having a different set of specifications and requirements, job profitability becomes the key element to generate consistent bottom line profits. Today’s economy demands that organizations control costs and operate at peak efficiency to remain competitive in the current business environment.

Job Manager features include:

  • Project costing for profitability analysis
  • Master job/sub-job breakdowns and roll-ups
  • Full work breakdown structure
