Business Situation
GELbeing multi-faceted in its business and also having so many different locations, the work and
the communication between them was turning into chaos.With so many multiple processes being dealt at
so many different places, simultaneously, it was exceedingly tricky to manage and combine all the
reports and figures effortlessly. Also the size was fairly large in terms of 300 live projects, 20 office and
2500 employees. They were looking for a robust system to integrate their end to end business process;
such that it leads to more sustainable growth. With the kind of work load, the major requirement was a
userfriendlyapplicationwithquickestrollouttime.
No support for multi-warehousing functionality, making it impossible to
fillcustomer’s ordersfromalternatedistributioncenters.
Limited ability to smooth slower moving inventory between distribution
centers, forcing the company to invest more resources in inventory that
has fewerturns.
No automated means of receiving inventory and tracking inventory
movement within the distribution center; the process had to be
performed manually, which created inaccuracies in quantity on hand and
reducedmanagementconfidence.
Difficulty to trace-out profitability on individual factors like Invoice-
wise,batch-wise,etc.
Higherrateofhumanerrorsleadingtodelayindecisionmaking.
Inefficiency in utilizing their resources which lead to customer
dissatisfaction.
The key challenges faced in the business were: “We are looking for an ERP
that would incorporate all
our needs and also one which
is cost-effective. The ERP
must be robust enough to
h a n d l e o u r B u s i n e s s
Requirements.”

“Managing MIS reports, finding minute by minute profitability has become a breeze. Now we don't
have to wait for the year end to understand which project led us to profits and which ones were
unprofitable. Decision making with the help of Microsoft Dynamics NAV has become easier and less
time-consuming.”
–Mr.Kothari, CEO

Implementations. So we were looking for a trusted,
robust and user friendly application, so that we don’t
fail again. Since this was from Microsoft all our
concerns were taken care of. It hardly took us a week
to learn this application and total 12 weeks to go live.
