ProStrategy set about implementing Dynamics NAV across 14 of the Colas Ireland locations

To replace their former accounts system, looking to improve current processes, reducing data entry and MS Excel reliance, ProStrategy set about implementing Dynamics NAV across 14 of the Colas Ireland locations.

The Solution

Microsoft Dynamics NAV empowers Colas to work on an integrated hosted solution allowing them to have real time visibility of their stock level and expected revenues. It greatly reduced the amount of data entry required and errors at billing stage having data entered correctly at order stage and process purchase invoices directly from PO data creating work efficiencies.

Dynamics NAV closes the loop by reliably handling complex pricing scenarios required by customer tenders. Colas reported improved staff productivity which significantly reduced data and role duplication.

They now have consistent and comparable data from companies across their Irish operations leading to increased cost control and better decision making across the business. Colas SA, as parent company, were keen to implement an updated accounts package across their Colas Ireland operations with the improved data consistency and internal efficiencies brought by Dynamics NAV seen as big positive.
