“Finding the right partner (solutions provider) is tremendously important in the success of an ERP solution,” says Alfredo D’Innocenzo, Managing Director, Prodotti Mediterranei Inc., (PMI) the US based importer of pasta, Italy’s second-largest producer. 

PMI turned to GRF Consulting LLC in  New York City, because of that firm’s expertise both in the food industry and in import distribution. PMI’s objectives were very clear, they needed a solution to help it transact business according to the food industry’s distinctive requirements. 

GRF Consulting, LLC proposed Microsoft Dynamics Nav, and enhanced (customised) it to include the following for PMI: 

-         extended line discounts to up-to seven levels

-         promotion pricing with tracking of promotion movement

-         container tracking

-         quantity budgets per customer

-         sales statistics on unit volume rather than dollars (a food industry preference)

-         credit management modified to reflect the company’s processes

-         automatic order tracking from Italian warehouses through the trans Atlantic crossings to their arrival in the US

-         chart of accounts in Italian and reclassified based on Italian and European union regulations

-         pallet exchange tracking

In summary the “choice of right partner (solutions provider)” will save you time, dollars and provide that necessary freedom to get on with “growing the business”
