Your fastest-turning SKU might be your worst performer. Run GMROI on vendor cost and an imported SKU can look like the star. Add freight and duty, and it can drop to a quarter of what a slower domestic SKU earns.

Our latest blog shows the math, how Business Central and F&SCM put landed cost into item cost, and what to do with the SKUs that flip. Does your item cost include freight and duty?

Ask most manufacturing IT leaders where their week went and the answer is rarely the roadmap. It's patching, backups, regression testing, and after-hours fixes on an ERP that's past its prime.

Our latest post looks at how much of the budget that upkeep really takes, what shifts to Microsoft with Dynamics 365, and what IT still owns. How many hours a month does your team spend just keeping the ERP running?

Most distribution “speed” problems aren’t people problems. They’re fragmentation problems. When inventory, warehouse, transportation, and finance live in separate systems, your team spends the day reconciling data instead of acting on it. With carrying costs running 20–30% of inventory value and stockouts cutting sales by up to 7%, that gap is expensive.

Our latest piece breaks down how Dynamics 365 F&SCM puts distributors on one connected view, and how to know whether it’s the right fit or more ERP than you need. Which of these sounds most like your Monday morning?

Most plants run on a layer of custom code and workarounds that made perfect sense when someone built them. The trouble starts when that layer turns every process change into an IT ticket and every upgrade into a project nobody wants to start.

Our latest post walks through a simple way to sort what to retire, what to rebuild as a Dynamics 365 extension, and what to rethink. What's the oldest workaround still running in your plant?

Dynamics NAV 2017 leaves extended support on January 12, 2027. NAV 2018 and GP 2018 follow a year later. The software keeps running after those dates, but the security fixes stop, and every new flaw in the ERP or the SQL and Windows stack underneath it stays open.

Our latest blog lays out the dates, what they mean for audits and PCI, and what changes when Microsoft runs the patching. Do you know the end-of-support date for every layer of your ERP stack?

Sales up 15%, invoice pile up 15%, and another AP req on the CFO’s desk. In a legacy ERP, accounts payable capacity is measured in people, so growth keeps costing headcount. APQC puts the gap between top and bottom AP performers at more than 2x per $1,000 of revenue.

Our latest blog walks through what changes when Dynamics 365 reads and drafts the invoices and your team reviews instead of keys. How many invoices does each person on your AP team handle today versus three years ago?

If your team is running GP, NAV, AX, Sage, or QuickBooks on a platform that’s falling out of support, maintaining custom integrations by hand, and holding together a system nobody fully documented, the problem may not be your IT team. It may be the ERP underneath it.

This guide names six ways an aging ERP puts risk on IT, backs each one with independent research, and maps it to the Dynamics 365 capability that solves it.

Our team went back through five NAV-to-Business Central projects, from Collins Equipment to Crimson W**e Group, and the pattern was hard to miss. Most cutovers fit inside a single weekend, and teams were back to business as usual on Monday.

Heathrow Scientific cut order processing time by 20%. MWS Wire saves its accounting team 10-20 hours a week. If you are still on NAV, which part of the move worries you most?
