Quotes from Partner & Customer
“We will use more AXtension® solutions. These are standard solutions that have been developed from a broader market perspective, so we automatically benefit from this knowledge. Together, these solutions eliminate the need for customization. And make it possible to have an update to Microsoft Dynamics AX.”
Quote from: Ruud Haring, Commercial Director of Pulse Business Solutions
“Visual Project Planning is a tremendous addition to Microsoft Dynamics AX, as the item meets its planned requirement deadline. The process becomes much more just-in-time.”
Quote from: Mr. D. Roo CFO of Rollecate
“The Administration Division now works much more efficiently. Where we used to need thirteen people, now seven employees can do the same work. This is mainly due to the single data entry at the start of each project and AXtension® MatchPoint. Purchasing Invoices are scanned directly into the system. That means no more duplication of effort and the error rate has decreased enormously. The Approval workflow also passes through the various qualified personnel automatically. This means, for example, that we can benefit from payment discounts. It is our goal to make the whole manual process disappear, and ultimately the purchase invoice matches the bill.”
