ELVA implements Dynamics 365 (ERP) for manufacturing

After combining three different organisations into a new company, one of the leading Latvian manufacturers of furniture, Daiļrade Koks, still needed to ensure the continuing analysis of data for the different departments. Therefore, a decision was made to implement a new and modern business management solution that would satisfy all of the requirements of such a large exporting company.

Challenges and Needs

Creating consistent management and registration mechanisms across all of the company’s departments.

Unifying the data to enable comparisons between the company’s different production plants and departments.

Ensuring faster data circulation and immediate notification of management regarding production results.

The Implemented Solutions

Taking into account the new company structure, a unified business management system Microsoft Dynamics AX (Axapta) was implemented, allowing the firm to manage different business processes within a single platform, and providing the following enhancements:

Tracking the manufactured and sold goods online, as well as monitoring prime costs for the entire production and sales cycle
Assortment management and complete information about the product in a single location; both as a picture, a drawing, alist of prime materials, manufacturing and installation instructions, etc.
The possibility of registering the same product in the system with different prime costs and differentiate the sales price according to the production plant, since the product code is unified for the entire company

Benefits

Data analysis

Quickly available information that the company management needs to allow and enable the planning of further growth.
Sales planning

The capability of quickly optimising the warehouse turnover and cash flows, as well as planning works and sales several weeks in advance.
Time-saving

Automated processes that reduce the amount of manual work, the percentage of errors, and the time required for process implementation.
Comparable data

Easy-to-understand and comparable data (including in relation to costs and income) for the different company departments.
Economy of time

Data exchange between Excel and Microsoft Dynamics AX using the Atlas4Dynamics solution significantly facilitates work and saves time both for data analysis and preparing reports.
