Raymond Yap, Managing Director, NaviWorld Singapore Pte. Ltd. Successful implementation of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution has always been a tricky business. While there is a dazzling array of business solutions in the marketplace, the success of a project does not solely depend on choosing the right solution. The implementation planning and structuring are just as important. As such, implementing an integrated business solution like Microsoft Dynamics NAV also comes with its fair share of challenges. Having experienced the frustrations of substandard ERP implementation services, Raymond Yap and Rajesh Jaiswal—veterans in the ERP industry with a combined experience of nearly 40 years—set out on a mission to provide customers with high-quality ERP implementation services with their venture NaviWorld Singapore.
The strength of NaviWorld Singapore lies in enabling medium to large business organizations with Microsoft NAV ERP and CRM solutions, thereby empowering organizations to experience stable business environments with minimal bugs. The company caters to major organizations in the retail, manufacturing, project and service management,and distribution industries.
NaviWorld Singapore carries forward the reputation of NaviWorld Group as the Diamond partner of Microsoft Dynamics LS Retail, a premium fully integrated ERP and Retail POS solution, built on the Microsoft Dynamics NAV ERP platform. LS Retail fully integrates online sales to the back-office activities such as inventory and finance, from the retail storefront. Implemented for industry bigwigs, LS Retail provides advanced and on-time management information for retail operators to manage all facets of their retail business to meet today’s rapidly evolving retail landscape.
Raymond, MD, NaviWorld Singapore, highlights, “Most of the companies require a comprehensive retail ERP solution in order to mitigate the risks associated with the integration of business processes.” LS Retail caters to a wide range of sub-verticals in the retail space—casual dining, electronics, fashion, furniture, hospitality, specialty, supermarkets and many more. All of the functionalities of LS Retail are aligned with the advanced ERP features of the Microsoft Dynamics NAV solution. NaviWorld Group has been a premium implementer of the Microsoft Dynamics NAV LS Retail solutions for many prestigious retail companies such as P&G, Focus Networks Agencies, Esprit and many more.
As stated by Raymond, the company ensures the implementation of best-in-class yet affordable ERP and CRM solutions for companies, which minimizes customization and simultaneously results in stability in the system within two weeks after the project goes live. “Delivering projects on-time and providing end-to-end support to our clients are the two factors which make us stand out in the market,” he adds. The company promises strong regional project experience and conducts partner alliances across the Asia Pacific region.
Raymond brings out one instance where they assisted Focus Network Agencies, which operates well-known chocolate retail outlets such as The Cocoa Trees and Choc Spot, to implement Microsoft Dynamics LS Retail. The 24 retail outlets of the client along with around 32 POS were made live on the same day. Adding to this, NaviWorld Singapore also implemented the Advanced Warehouse Management module in Microsoft Dynamics NAV, executed with Dynamics NAV Anywhere Mobility, a mobile barcode solution. This project fully integrated retail operations into their supply chain operations. The POS support issue was also reduced by more than 90 percent. Their management currently experiences real time inventory visibility due to the advanced WMS with barcode scanning. Fulfillment lead time of the client improved by 50 percent, while both the order fulfillment and shipment container utilization rate have improved significantly from 70-90 percent. Focus Network Agencies is now able to accomplish the stock take, in half of the time consumed previously with almost 100 percent accuracy and zero stock discrepancy.
Moving forward, NaviWorld plans to continue improving their solutions and enhancing their reputation in the retail industry.
