Advanced Distribution Software is Here for Dynamics AX 2009
Advanced Distribution for Microsoft Dynamics AX is here for the North American market. A key differentiator of the distribution market is that distribution companies have two primary assets; Accounts receivable and inventory. This means that a distributor’s business systems must address a few key areas in order to enable a distributor to grow profitably.
Key functional areas where distributors often require capabilities beyond what are typically found in ERP systems include:
- Pricing and discounting
- Warehouse management
- Transportation
- eCommerce
- Fast order entry/Call center
- Costing
Our Advanced Distribution Software addresses distribution-specific capabilities in all of these areas, providing a solution from one source that previously would’ve required solutions from four different vendors.
Examples of the capabilities available in Advanced Distribution for Dynamics AX include an Advanced Pricing Engine that allows for company-defined price calculation rules that includes gross price, line discounts, multi-line discounts, order total discounts, header/line item charges and more. A second example of enhanced capabilities are call center order management functions that, from a single screen, provides distributors a 360° view of the customer; including the ability to search for account and contact information, view customer sales and quote history, manage sales orders and enable cross-sell/up-sell opportunities.
