Van Manen makes business processes shine with Business Central and Distri+
Van Manen has been a trusted name in toys and decorative items since 1948. Based in Veenendaal, the company supplies retailers, retail chains, and wholesalers worldwide. With a dynamic product range, Van Manen continuously responds to trends and quickly translates them into commercial products.
The challenge? An outdated Microsoft AX 2009 system that no longer met modern requirements. Integrations were cumbersome, and processes such as cost calculation and inventory planning were complex and time-consuming. In addition, there was a growing need for real-time insight and user-friendly tools. It was time for a change.
Together with iFacto, Van Manen made the switch to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, enhanced with our Distri+ Apps for wholesale. The result is a future-proof platform that streamlines processes and supports international growth.
Key improvements:
- Smart inventory planning with container tracking and shipment pooling
- Cost price simulation per item, including scenario analysis
- EDI functionality for efficient data exchange
- WMS expansion with collection point for controlled warehouse processes
- Real-time integration via APIs between Business Central and webshop/sales app
The benefits for Van Manen:
- More efficient processes thanks to real-time data
- Faster order processing and up-to-date inventory information
- Retention of critical functionalities such as cost price calculation and shipping pool
- Improved user experience for all employees hop/sales app
With Business Central, Van Manen has laid a solid foundation for further digitization and international growth. Thanks to the collaboration with iFacto, they are ready for the future.
