bodycote thermal processing
Consolidating systems across all company locations Bodycote Thermal Processing is the world’s largest and most respected provider of testing and thermal processing services: Heat Treating, Hot Isostatic Pressing, Metallurgical Coatings and Testing - operating in 30 countries. Bodycote Heat Treatments is a vital link in the manufacturing process for the aerospace, power generation, automotive, railway and general engineering industries.
The Situation
With 65 locations in the U.S., Bodycote had various locations using disparate systems,
along with duplicate entries across the locations. This afforded the company no real-time
view of the corporate financials and no consolidated view of vendor and customer credit or
balance information.
The Solution
Western Computer built a Microsoft Dynamics NAV solution for Bodycote that gave the
company system-wide Financials (General Ledger, Accounts Receivable, Accounts
Payable, Bank Reconciliation, Budgets, Fixed Assets), Payroll, Human Resources, Supply
Chain Management (Sales Order Processing, Purchase Order Processing, Inventory
Control), Warehouse Management (Location Tracking, Bill of Materials, Production
Orders), Material Requirements Planning (Capacity Planning, Demand Forecasting) and
Customer Relationship Management (Contact Management, Opportunity Management).
The Result
Thanks to deploying a Microsoft Dynamics NAV solution built around their unique needs
across all their locations, Bodycote is now managing its business with:
-
A centralized database which reduce duplicate entries.
-
Streamlined processes for more efficiency and increased productivity.
-
A consolidated view of their corporate financials, consolidating their receivables and payables and establishing profit centers for each location.
-
The ability to manage corporate credit and purchasing policies.
