Outgrowing Your Current Accounting Software System?
Are you putting band-aids on your current accounting systems to make it through your month end close? Are you relying upon Excel as a ‘crutch’ for your financial reporting? Do either of these questions describe you/your company? If so, you may be outgrowing your current accounting software. There are a number of challenges businesses face today, including SOX, GAAP, Integration, Compliance, Reporting, and more. These challenges may vary based on your role in the company. For example, employees in the accounting department may be frustrated as your company grows if the database in your current accounting software can’t accommodate adding more customer accounts. Information is often stored in people, not systems. There are too many projects going on throughout your day and interruptions are common, especially for the accounting department, because other employees are dependent on your team to provide information critical to decision making. To deliver a proper solution to your supply chain needs, we focus on making your People Ready for anything that is thrown at them.

Tips and Tricks: Since Automated Data Collection (ADC) System is Worth ItSince Automated Data Collection (ADC) is worth it: Because it can enable companies to save 100’s of thousands of dollars in labor, inventory and operating expenses that all drive higher customer satisfaction. Now let’s examine why it’s important to utilize an ADC system that is native to Dynamics AX; the answer is in how AX defines, manages and tracks inventory. Most ERP systems create different item numbers for each different product configuration; for example, if I make a food seasoning and sell it in everything from a 2.85oz jar to a 1 gallon jug, or make greeting cards in a variety of sizes and colors- every different packaging type, or size and color combination has its own SKU #. One advantage of Dynamics AX; is that it’s not necessary to create a new item number for each of these scenarios. This simplifies a number of areas for ERP system implementation and maintenance, including but not limited to Item master creation and maintenance, and BOM/Formula and Route definitions and maintenance.
