Specialists in Automotive

The automotive industry has experienced many pressures in recent years. It has been essential to deliver year-on-year cost improvements and this has been combined with constantly increasing flexibility requirements and harsh penalties for failure to meet short-term schedules.

eBECS recognises that all automotive organisations will have implemented some type of ERP solution or deployed some sort of manufacturing or accounting solution. Often these systems are aging, and they do not assist business improvement initiatives with the latest methodologies and technologies needed to compete in today’s challenging and ever-changing environment.

Organisations are often using Microsoft Windows-based servers for many front office systems, but may not be fully aware of the benefits that fully integrated Microsoft Dynamics AX and CRM solutions can bring to their business, especially in the automotive sector where the integrated supply chain is essential in today’s environment.

eBECS and Microsoft Dynamics

Business leaders need up to date facts, figures, trends and information at their fingertips as things happen to be able to see what’s really going on within their business. To be effective and make the right decisions, they need real-time information on customer service, inventory, availability and manufacturing status.

The flexibility to respond to compliance standards and adaptability to ever-changing needs of customers is imperative for success. Microsoft Dynamics solutions can improve competitive advantage by providing visibility into the supply chain, streamlining processes and minimising the costs of carrying inventory.

Lean Manufacturing

Lean Manufacturing for Microsoft Dynamics AX can help manufacturing organisations implement, energise, and sustain lean manufacturing initiatives by delivering the tools and information support needed to streamline processes, reduce waste, enable demand-pull operations and promote continuous improvement. As part of Microsoft Dynamics AX, the robust Lean Manufacturing functionality complements the solution’s comprehensive customer relationship, financial, collaboration and supply chain management capabilities.

Commitment for the long term

Microsoft has a long-term road map for Dynamics that businesses can depend upon and place their trust for long-term commitment and investment. Microsoft has acquired deep industry functionality for manufacturing on a single, standard platform that makes it easier to implement, maintain and upgrade. Microsoft Dynamics AX industry software, resulting in significantly lower total cost of ownership. eBECS’ enviable client base (which includes Aston Martin Lagonda and Lotus Racing) has been built upon the powerful combination of eBECS’ and Microsoft’s automotive knowledge, which has resulted in several clients adopting an end-to-end Microsoft solution.

eBECS has made a significant investment in the automotive industry and a number of clients have also adopted the Microsoft Dynamics AX standard Lean Manufacturing functionality - which was originally written by eBECS and later acquired by Microsoft. eBECS has also created additional Dynamics AX modules that drive greater efficiencies and cost savings for manufacturing and distribution businesses.
