Dynamics AX overview and key features

Dynamics AX is a multi-layered application with a single database and toolkit that can be moulded around the character and preferences of your business.

Customisation
As a single solution with ‘turn-on-turn-off' functionality, you can use the functions you need now and unlock additional capabilities as your needs change and multiply. Its unique integrated development environment makes tailoring very simple, even for inexperienced users. Using a Windows environment, Dynamics AX is readily adopted by users due to its familiarity.

Scaleable
Dynamics AX is scaleable from 10 users to 3,000 or more. For the smaller, agile business the intuitive, responsive nature of Dynamics AX makes it easy to deploy and for the larger firm, its proven ability to process and record 315,000 transactions from 3,600 simultaneous users in one hour means it's up to any task you set.

Globalisation
Multilanguage and multicurrency capabilities allow employees, customers and vendors to work in their own language and currency - it has built-in languages, currencies and legal requirements for more than 30 countries.

Financial Management
Dynamics AX delivers a range of financial capabilities to update your accounts efficiently and comply with internal and external ICAEW accredited reporting requirements. Financial Management was created with the user in mind - intuitive layouts, personalised menus and tight integration with Microsoft Office products.

Manufacturing
Dynamics AX can be tailored to support the exact needs of a manufacturing business, while delivering a low total cost of ownership (TCO). The solution has broad functionality that supports build-to-order, engineer-to-order and build-to-forecast supply chain models, across both discrete and batch-process manufacturing modes.

Inventory and Order Processing
With Inventory and Order Processing you can optimise your entire warehouse management cycle according to your needs based on accurate, timely information. It ensures an efficient flow from production, to storage, to shipping.

Human Resource Management
Human Resource Management is a modular system that helps you gather and structure employee information and support their development. It maintains an overview of your organisation and creates the right internal environment to drive your business forward.

Project Management
For the growing number of companies that provide services to customers, the challenge is to effectively manage knowledge, opportunities and resources. With Dynamics AX Project Management you can plan, monitor and follow up on projects - both internal and external.

Supply Chain Management
Dynamics AX Supply Chain Management gives you fast and cost-effective visibility and connectivity throughout your entire supply chain. It also gives you the ability to eliminate manual entry of data. Via XML, documents such as sales and purchase orders can be sent directly between customers' and vendors' systems.

E-commerce
E-commerce enables you to use the Internet to interact with the people who have the information you need, or need the information you have via personalised web sites. Using the Dynamics AX Enterprise Portal, you enable your business community to work directly with your ERP Solution.
