Technological basis
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central with extensions in AL
With collana intrade, trade processes along the entire foreign trade chain are managed transparently, consistently and efficiently.
The solution is based on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and was developed specifically for companies involved in import, export and global goods traffic.
It maps classic foreign trade processes such as contract and consignment processing, shipping, foreign exchange handling and Intrastat completely in one system.
The biggest difference between collana intrade and the Microsoft standard are the features explicitly tailored to foreign trade, which can either not be implemented at all via Business Central or only with a great deal of manual effort. Here is an overview:
Intelligent mapping of classic foreign trade processes: Contract, lot and batch processing
On-the-fly calculation and precise currency management in real time
Integrated shipping management for international supply chains
Certified industry functionality with quality seal and seamless Microsoft connection
Implementation
During the analysis phase, our project team talks to the most important people in your company.
We record all requirements in interviews with employees and managers and document them precisely.
This creates a clear understanding of your processes and goals.
In the design phase, we compare your requirements with the standard functions of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
This results in a clear concept with defined extensions and a project plan that precisely defines the effort and time frame.
Your customised solution is created during the development phase. We expand the basis with the desired customisations, interfaces and data transfers and test them extensively until all requirements are met in line with your ideas and wishes.
Once the solution has been finalised, we support you when you go live.
Your employees are trained at an early stage to use the system safely - this increases acceptance and productivity. The phase ends with official acceptance.
After the go-live, our experts will support your team as it goes live.
