A Place for Everything and Everything in its Place – Part 2

Microsoft Dynamics™ NAV-Related Concerns and How it Affects E-Commerce

If you haven’t part 1 yet, you can read it here.

You also read about how we rise to the content management challenge in NAV here.

Categorizing in Microsoft Dynamics™ NAV

An eCommerce solution has many components and we can argue that there are a number of features and parts that are the core of the solution. It’s really a mixture of doing all those things well and having it exist together, working efficiently and effectively within the NAV environment. It’s about taking Microsoft Dynamics™ NAV capabilities and improving them from an eCommerce perspective.

Your website’s goal is to sell your products and we could make the argument that categorizing them is a good foundation for your whole webshop. Currently, Microsoft Dynamics™ NAV has a limited way of categorizing items. We need a robust category management tool that maps items to the category right within the NAV environment.

What We’ve Done to Make It Better

With being clean, simple, and organized, in eCommerce comes control and peace of mind. Instead of having a mess of products for you and customers to sort through, categories make it make sense. Having one solution that supports numerous ways to do this with a multitude of features that customize is also pretty darn powerful.

Nav-to-Net™ is a seamlessly integrated solution that supports having virtually limitless categories, allowing you to be really specific about how you organize your items. It’s also possible to have items displayed in multiple categories. There is no limit to how you can categorize, depending on how it works with your business, your industry vertical, and your unique product and service offerings. It’s not a cookie-cutter solution because you’re a cookie-cutter generic business. Having all categories and items managed from within NAV makes things quick and easy. You can see changes almost immediately because of real-time synchronization. Items marked “Web enabled” in Nav-to-Net™ (which lives comfortably inside NAV without disrupting any ongoing operations) will synchronize to the website in real-time, dynamically, including web categories, item categorization, images, and files.

At Digital Vantage Point, we try to anticipate what your needs are in terms of eCommerce. Because of the many features available on Nav-to-Net™, we’ve got it covered because we think of every eventuality. Our integrated eCommerce solution is customizable to suit your needs while maintaining that deep integrity and connectivity with Microsoft Dynamics™ NAV. There are many benefits to be had by managing everything in NAV
