ERP System Optimization
A growing manufacturer optimized its Microsoft NAV ERP to improve inventory visibility, warehouse efficiency, and planning—supporting expansion without system replacement.
Client Overview
Industry : Manufacturing - Consumer Products
Straight Arrow Products is a fast-growing consumer products manufacturer operating in a highly competitive market. As demand increased, the organization needed greater accuracy, visibility, and execution across inventory management, warehouse operations, and order fulfillment.
While Microsoft NAV was already in place, the system was not fully aligned with evolving business needs—limiting its ability to scale efficiently and support operational growth.
The Challenge
As the business expanded, gaps began to emerge between operational processes and how the ERP system was being used. Inventory accuracy suffered due to limited warehouse visibility, planning processes lacked structure, and shipping operations were increasingly strained.
