Client Testimonial

“Calsoft completed the implementation project within the original budget and schedule. There were complex migration processes due to company-specific cost management requirements, but it was well taken care of by Calsoft and the migration was completed without significant issues.

In the past 10 years since we implemented NAV, Calsoft has helped us increase the accuracy of our accounting data and supported NAV upgrade and roll-out projects with our sister company in Mexico.“

Project Goals & Objectives

Business / Project Challenges

Since the customer’s previous system was discontinued and support was terminated, they were looking for a new ERP system to replace with. Since their headquarters in Japan was rolling-out Dynamics NAV for its global locations, they decided to implement Dynamics NAV in the U.S. 

It was challenging for them to find a local U.S. partner who could understand and implement global NAV template, gather local requirements, and communicate with PMO in Japan.  

Results Achieved

  • Unified ERP: By integrating 2 separate companies in 1 single system, the company achieved to simplify and standardize their business operation as they both run similar distribution business. Also, it helped their sister company in Mexico to strengthen their internal control by implementing NAV which has strong capabilities in compliance and auditing. 
  • Better data visibility: By implementing NAV with standardized template, the customer’s global headquarters is now able to view essential business data of both U.S. and Mexico operation in timely manner.
