LaVanture Products Company warehouses and distributes a variety of products to manufacturers. In fact, the process of fulfilling customer orders as efficiently as possible is the most critical part of LaVanture's business. Having successfully implemented Microsoft Business-Solutions-Axapta 2.5, now part of Microsoft Dynamics, in 2002 to automate and streamline its core business processes, it then upgraded to Microsoft Axapta 3.0 in 2004. But LaVanture is committed to staying at the leading edge of technology, so the company now wants to expand its business capabilities into new areas such as e-commerce. As a result, the company is working with Microsoft and Microsoft Certified Partner Avanade to upgrade to the latest version as part of the Microsoft Dynamics AX 4.0 Technology Adoption Program (TAP). It aims to go live with this version in July 2006 with 25 concurrent users. LaVanture is looking forward to benefiting from the enhanced data mining Capabilities of Microsoft Dynamics AX 4.0. Understanding purchasing patterns gives users an understanding of the requirements of their customers. This will help managers make more informed business decisions in the planning and management of stock levels in the warehouse, and in the fulfillment of orders to customers.
