Customer Profile
The JOST Group is an enterprise which since its establishment in 1952 has achieved a leading position worldwide in the manufacturing of components for commercial vehicles. It has a tradition of success based on flexibility, technical know-how, entrepreneurial action and a close relationship with its employees.
As the expectations of end users and vehicle manufacturers for supplier performance become increasingly exacting and customers rightly demand defect-free, reasonably priced products and services worldwide; it is absolutely essential that its products and services offer high quality and reliability in order to maintain the competitiveness and advancement of the company.
Business Situation
JOST had recently acquired another company in the sales and distribution field. This increased the size and scope of the main company, which was previously focused solely on manufacturing. A service provider implemented Navision, but unfortunately made a mess of the implementation, after which JOST contacted Strategix for assistance.
Solution
Strategix successfully reimplemented the Microsoft Dynamics NAV solution from scratch. The team’s hands-on approach was impressive; staff was available throughout the implementation process and always responded quickly to any Navision challenges. Communicating with the Strategix team was easy: they were always willing to discuss challenges and assist with ideas for solutions.
Benefits
- Improved reporting.
- More transparency in the financial environment.
- Enhanced internal control environment.
- Business processes were enhanced: Financial reporting, stock control, debtors control, fixed asset controls.
“It’s always a pleasure doing business with Strategix. Navision is a fully integrated system that allows me to run my business seamlessly with one source of information, which makes reporting transparent, dependable and easy. Strategix staff is always friendly, willing to assist and creative in solutions, which adds a lot of value to our business.”
Best regards,
Linka van Wyk, Financial and Commercial Director, Jost South Africa
