3 tips for handling your transportation management through Microsoft Dynamics NAV

While the Microsoft Dynamics NAV platform offers a wealth of functionality, one thing is notably missing - a transportation management solution. There's no shortage of add-on parcel systems, but not all add-on solutions are created equal. Here's what NAV users should consider when evaluating their logistics and transportation requirements.

• Your business needs. What transportation types, modes, and geographies do you need to support? Is freight managed centralized or decentralized? What is your implementation timeline? How does my upgrade impact this? Fully defining your requirements will help narrow down your options.

• The solution's capabilities. Consider how well the solution fits your business needs, including carrier rate management, load optimization, tracking & trace, extensive reporting, and seamless integration with order processing and accounting functions.

• The technology. Familiar user interface, a solution that promotes extensibility, minimizes customizations, and easily supports upgrade compatibility.
