Solutions : Government Reseller

Companies that sell products and provide services to the Federal Government have been historically forced to install and manage multiple financial management solutions to handle both business lines. Microsoft Dynamics NAV for Government Contractors and Resellers from PVBS eliminates this problem and offers companies that service and sell products to the government one integrated and comprehensive solution.

Government resellers are moving to the Microsoft alternative for government contractor financial management and project accounting solution from PVBS every day because it offers a feature-rich, well integrated base that fully utilizes the Microsoft look and feel.  Dynamics NAV integrates with other common Microsoft solutions and its underlying MS SQL relational database structure offers unprecedented services and features to government suppliers.

It lets your management truly understand customer and contract profitability status at any given time. Built-in analytics and reporting services, online as well, add to the expansive value of the system.

Benefits for Companies that Sell Products to the Federal Government
The benefits to government resellers for using Dynamics NAV include:

• Improving operational efficiencies
• Rich analytical dashboard to measure business performance
• One integrated solution
• Integration with other Microsoft systems and Partners
• Search capabilities
• Smart marketing

Improving operational efficiencies: Dynamics NAV automates the manual effort of the sales quote to order process and the integration with the purchasing workflow for drop shipment orders on BOTH sides of the equation: vendor (purchasing) and customer (selling). The entire vendor management process is integrated within the solution and is designed to ensure a smooth process from order processing to invoicing to payment resolution.  Plus, the solution manages contract information and ties the purchase and the sales order together so there are no consolidation issues in the future.

Rich analytical dashboard to measure business performance: With built-in analytics, executives can easily access critical information such as revenue, profit and gross profit percent across various measures, such as by customer, sales rep, contract vehicle or by vendor.

One integrated solution: Everything a government contractor needs to manage their product sales AND service business lines are included in one solution. This is an advantage for companies that have been maintaining separate solutions for both revenue channels and removes the need for the additional or ancillary systems hybrid companies may have. With product margins shrinking, this helps efficiency.

Integration with other systems and partners: Dynamics NAV provides e-commerce and integration capabilities, with vendors in the supply chain and customers to drive revenue opportunities and operational efficiencies. This includes integrating with applications such as Microsoft CRM and Project, or integrating data such as pricing data or electronically placing sales or purchase orders.

Search capabilities: The Dynamics NAV relational database back end makes it easy to search quickly for critical information, such as a client's past purchase history including who purchased, when they purchased, and what they purchased.

Smart marketing: Dynamics NAV has built in CRM capabilities. Companies can utilize past purchase history to communicate with clients about appropriate up sales opportunities.
