Microsoft Dynamics ERP solutions were designed specifically to streamline accounting, logistics, supply chain, CRM, and other business functions typically handled by multiple legacy systems. IES clients work across two crucial ERP modules: - **GP **for businesses seeking out-of-the-box efficiency integrated with Excel business applications to handle accounting, inventory, sales, and payroll. - **NAV **for advanced supply chain management, with tools that span languages across a worldwide network of suppliers, vendors, and distributors. We’ve found that the feature-rich options of these platforms are often underutilized. Like a lot of Microsoft products, if you can dream it, we can probably build it and help you deploy it. So let’s look at some of the platform features to see what you might be missing. ## **Microsoft Dynamics GP ** [Microsoft Dynamics GP](https://www.iesgp.com/microsoft-dynamics-gp) offers manufacturers multiple functions within a single software platform.

One feature in this module sends automated alerts that prevent stocking expired inventory. - There’s **Multi Bin Tracking **that tracks by item and bin, with quantity and product counts. - **Inventory Ranking **matches products by volumes sold, ranking usage and demand, and tracking per unit costs vs. sales. - You can track by color or other features wit **Item Classification**. - **Lot and Serial Tracking **follows inventory wherever it goes by whatever classification corresponds to the customer invoice. - You can also track the big picture with **Quality Controls **measuring bin contents and overall inventory. Chances are you’re using *some *of these features, but Microsoft Dynamics ERP software was designed to create one unified solution and replace multiple inventory legacy systems. Inventory tracking is complicated but full utilization of GP can help you more effectively run this part of your business. ## **Microsoft NAV** [Microsoft NAV](https://www.iesgp.com/microsoft-dynamics-nav) is a one-stop-shop business management platform.
