The story of one of our  Distribution customer started 12 years ago. A solid company experienced the growth, faced the fall, then again was growing, and now it‘s preparing for a significant business leap. What helped the company rise and grow in such a competitive Distribution business? 2 years ago the company‘s heads made a powerful decision – invest in the enterprise resource planning system Dynamics AX which combines the main company‘s processes, financials, warehouse and supply chain data. Almost for 10 years the system has been continuously developed striving to cover new more sophisticated processes and to meet changing market needs. Particularly, the main ERP system was complemented with extensions and third-party vertical solutions and thus turned into a complicated, slow-performing and gawky monster. The customer called us for help. After we made a quick performance troubleshooting session, we recognized that some of the add-ons‘ do not meet nowadays requirements, duplicate the processes, and lag due to the overload of (sometimes irrelevant) data. Here I jump to the experts‘ insights who claim that one of the most important factors of success in the modern Distribution business is an effective and scalable ERP system which is able to provide 360-degree visibility and control throughout the entire supply chain, to improve planning and increase flexibility to changing business conditions.
