Woot

Web Retailer Handles 1,000 Percent Order Volume Spikes with Powerful ERP Solution

In the crowded world of e-commerce, Woot provides a highly differentiated online-shopping experience by offering rock-bottom prices on a single item each day. Steadily rising traffic to its main Web sites led executives to evaluate the scalability of its Sage Pro enterprise resource planning system. Because the Sage system lacked the ability to individually process large numbers of transactions, the company batched thousands of customer purchases as a single sales order, hindering efficient fulfilment and delivery. With help from Microsoft® Gold Certified Partner SimCrest, Woot implemented Microsoft Dynamics® NAV. The company uses the solution to automate business processes and access powerful analysis and reporting tools. Now, Woot benefits from faster order processing, increased visibility into transaction data, and a system that supports rapid growth.

Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory

50-Store Candy Franchise Sweetens Sales, Whips Up Reports, and Clarifies Visibility

Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory was filling stores with customers, selling new franchises, and constantly renovating stores. But customers might see three systems in one visit thanks to a patchwork of old electronic cash registers (ECRs) in every shop. Collecting information from them was sporadic and required tinkering. Data was inadequate for reports, and prospective franchisees saw ECRs as a weak spot. The RSC Group had tailored the company’s Microsoft Dynamics® GP ERP system, so its recommendation of Microsoft Dynamics Retail Management System opened doors. All sales functions now occur on one register and transactions are four times as fast. Daily polling delivers accurate data from every store, and information slides into Microsoft Dynamics GP. Store owners and executives have data on sales, stock levels, a customer loyalty program, and reports to manage growth.

Mercus

PHP Mercus Sp. z o.o. installed solution to specialized consolidation notes based on Microsoft Dynamics AX

As a member of the capital group KGHM Poland Copper S.A., PHP Mercus Sp. z o.o. is subject to the orders, rules of cooperation and operating specifications of the group. Mercus faced a serious problem when preparing reports to coordinate and document transactions for the capital group. Specifically, the amount and complexity of the reports created the problem. Previously prepared "manual" reports using data from the system took a lot of valuable time and was prone to mistakes when writing each datum.
