Salveo Life Sciences : Microsoft Dynamics NAV 4.0 Implementation

Salveo Life Sciences Limited is a start-up pharmaceutical distribution

company with sales revenues of approx. Rs 2.50 crore in the first year of its

commercial operation. Being new in business, the company knew it had to make the

most of all opportunities that came their way. To put this in practice, the top

management mandated that all of its Indian operations be equipped with better

control on real time sales and inventory data across locations, everyday. So,

they decided to go for Microsoft Dynamics NAV 4.0 across branches and

implemented the Sales and Inventory, Purchase and Finance modules. Within 15

months the solution was rolled out at the Bangalore head office and across 22

consignee agent locations. The impact began to be felt almost immediately after

the implementation of Microsoft Dynamics NAV 4.0, and the Bangalore marketing

team has been able to streamline daily business procedures, have centralized

control of sales prices and schemes across India and real-time access to

accurate business information. One of the unique requirements during the

implementation of NAV 4.0 was to allow creation of transfer orders even before

the items were received or available in the stock. The other unique requirement

was to incorporate all India taxes without affecting the Finance module. Some of

the key customizations included: Having Value Added Tax (VAT) calculations on

MRP of items, quantity based schemes, numbering series for each location and

restricting data access for users to their individual regional data.The company

now has access to real time data on sales, returns and inventory at different

locations across India. This enables them to track sales and inventory on a

daily basis. They can also gather accurate information on actual sales and check

stock positions across their 24 locations countrywide.
