If you are looking for an ERP for shoe production, Microsoft Dynamics NAV can be a good option for your industry.
This blog post takes a look at how we at TRIMIT have transformed Dynamics NAV into an ERP for the footwear industry.
From General ERP to Footwear ERP
Over the years, many Microsoft partners have developed industry-specific solutions based on Dynamics NAV, and TRIMIT Fashion is one of these solutions.
The concept behind industry-specific solutions is that i.e. a footwear company does not have to spend time and money on customizing Dynamics NAV to its needs.
Instead, the company can buy a Dynamics NAV-based solution that is already specialized for the shoe industry. Such a solution comes with the features and functionality to solve most of the challenges faced by footwear companies.
Single company carries the development vs. a whole network carries the development
Managing Shoe Production
Managing the details that go into producing shoes can be challenging. You need to keep track of i.e.:
- Shoe variants (color, surface, sole, width, size)
- Sales orders
- BOMs
- Raw materials
- Assemblies
- Deliveries
Shoe part definition
Just the BOMs ("recipes") for the shoes you offer can be complex. Here is an example for one single shoe:
- 3 colors (black, brown, cognac)
- x 2 surfaces (smooth or printed)
- x 1 sole (rubber)
- x 2 widths (G or H)
- x 17 sizes (5-13)
In this example, the list results in 204 individual BOMs that you need to keep track of. - At the same time you are under pressure because you are in the fast-paced fashion industry. You need to be competitive and have precise insights into your business performance.
