“Solver is the best available product for reporting from AX I have seen. It is faster to build reports in than other Excel-based tools, and there is no need for external consulting services to customize the reports we need to control costs and run the business.”

Manual Reporting Across 35 Countries, Streamlined

The Problem

With operations in 35 countries, NEFAB's local offices manually compiled monthly income statements and management reports, a time-consuming, error-prone process that limited head office visibility into individual company performance and made effective cost control difficult.

The Solution

NEFAB implemented Solver on its Microsoft Dynamics SL environment, replacing manual, Excel-heavy compilation with drag-and-drop report building that required no outside consulting to customize for the company's cost-control and budgeting needs.

The Result

The change saves NEFAB close to 1,000 hours a year in report production, a 75% time reduction expected to pay back the investment within two years, while giving the company clearer, more consistent visibility across its global operations.
