02/02/2007 - Johnson Brothers go live with Microsoft Dynamics Navision (NAV) from ProStrategy
Johnson Brothers Limited (http://www.johnsonbrothers.ie) are the most technologically advanced and successful distributor of Fast Moving Consumer Goods in Ireland, with an annual turnover in excess of €200m. They distribute household brand names to grocery multiples, wholesale, convenience, forecourts and pharmacy channels.
After spending much time extensively researching ERP offerings in the market, they chose Microsoft Dynamics Navision (NAV)from ProStrategy as the ERP platform for the future of their business.
According to David Skerritt, CEO of Johnson Brothers, they chose Microsoft Dynamics Navision (NAV) from ProStrategy because of its robustness and scalability; its extensive ability to interact with external systems; its ability to handle the complex price and costing algorithms used in the FMCG market and Microsoft's vision of the future along with their ongoing commitment to extensive Research and Development. We were also impressed with the ProStrategy team, their ability to understand the intricacies of our business and to design a solution catering for all our needs.
The project is being rolled out in multiple phases with phase 1 (financials and purchases ledger replacing a legacy Oracle system) having gone live on 2nd January 2007 on time and on budget.
Phase two incorporates Business Intelligence, Sales Order Processing, Purchasing, Inventory Control and integration to their Warehouse Management System (WMS).
