Microsoft Dynamics NAV punches above in the eCommerce domain. i95Dev helped many companies who use Dynamics NAV for their eCommerce operations through our flagship Magento connector “i95Dev Dynamics NAV Connect”. As eCommerce players grow, there are some telltale signs, which are clear indicators that you need a Magento Dynamics NAV integration. In this article, we will discuss these signs and how our Magento Dynamics NAV Integration connector can help you overcome these challenges.
Below are some of the signs to look out for during your growth phase.

• Severe resource downtime

  For any business, it is imperative that your team and resources should be in peak efficiency. However, at some point in the growth phase, you find your resources wasted in places like sorting out piling orders, checking of inventory levels, repeatedly addressing customers’ issues etc. Now that is definitely a red flag and if left unattended, it can hurt your brand.

• Stark inaccuracies across different channels

  If you took the time to diversify your business channels, that is great. However, with a diversified multi-channel approach comes the problem of maintaining accuracy amongst them. There can be multiple errors such as inaccurate delivery addresses, missed delivery deadlines, mixed up customer information, inaccurate inventory levels leading to underselling or overselling, etc.
  If you are experiencing these challenges, it is more than a red flag. Your eCommerce business is walking with a target painted on its back.

• Bad management of processes

  Manually entering/uploading information from your eCommerce systems to Dynamics NAV and vice versa is prone to human errors. Scalability is another limitation of this process. All these processes typically lead to bad process management and process delays as more time spent on manual updating. This only puts your competitors in advantage at the expense of your eCommerce business. This is a definite red flag if you are experiencing it.
