Dynamics NAV HR Systems?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi,

This is my first post, I would like some advice on whether there are many Dynamics NAV HR systems tools?, I work for a medium sized construction company who would like a Dynamics NAV HR system to integrate / connect in with our new NAV ERP system.

I've googled some firms and have had a meeting / sales pitch today but this may fall short of our requirements.

We would like the system to manage all HR functions, job posting, leave entitlement, performance tracking, on boarding etc etc etc...

I know this is a little vague but any advice would be appreciated.

Regards,

Marv

    As you know, NAV has its own HR and Payroll module, and it is capable of doing simple things. However according to my practice, implementation of that one module, especially under local country specific requirements, is an extremely challenging task.

    For 95% of our international implementations we select some other local HR and Payroll solution that is tailored and targeted just for that, following all needed country legislation specific requirements.

    This means you take a specialized HR and Payroll solution, most popular on the current country market (not necessarily NAV-based), and integrate it with NAV so that you upload the results of salary calculations to NAV ledger. Microsoft anyway is not able to follow all the changes in payroll legislation in every country and it is difficult to compete with specialized software in this area.

    We did this for many countries in Europe and I can say it is much better practice and brings much more value to the end-customer. Otherwise, you can find yourself in a situation that you need to pay lot of money for support of your customized HR module in NAV, which is not updated automatically due to legislation change.

    However, if you still keen on NAV for HR and Payroll, try searching for solutions on PinPoint - Microsoft recently gave a second birth to this resource: http://pinpoint.microsoft.com

    Best is that, you go for some external HR & Payroll product available in market, which is meant for that purpose and would be cost effective solution.

    There are certain HR & Payroll add-on available in market, which is built on NAV platform, however it would be more costlier due to NAV license cost. Also, may not have all the required functionality available in the solution, due to limited customer base.

    Hey Starvin,

    I believe this is something which quiet complicated to answer, complicated in the sense like either a system is able to handle and manage is something which is totally dependent on the need and requirement of the organization and then to map up like this ERP or Software application is capable to handle this or not. There might be a situation where you may find like this software is quiet incompetent for you but there too might be a scenario where you can sense though this application is small and but is capable of handling your business needs as it consists of each and everything what your organization really needs.  What I want to say is an application should always be measured on the basis of fulfilling the core requirement of the organization instead how vast it is.

    I will like you to have an overview of HR Management system that's available in NAV. Here is the link  www.youtube.com/watch  

    NAV is an ERP which has no limitation on Customizations, you can customize 100% of NAV, so even if you found that there's some minute or very less difference between the HR system what you want and what which NAV doesn't really have then you can go and ask for the Customization on it.

    You need to go with full fledged HR & Payroll localized solution available in your country.

    I don't think so, anyone would have such extended HR & Payroll solution available as Add-On Solution built on NAV platform.

    You can still go through the below link and contact the partners for the product demonstration, if available in NAV 2016 version / localized version for your country.

    StarvinMarvin,

    Your requirements are not covered fully by standard NAV, and I suppose you'd not count for finding such functionality in NAV verticals of some partners. Depending on your country, I strongly advice to select a dedicated HR&Payroll software and integrate it with NAV - as a customer, you will be much more secure and would carry less risks and less costs.
