The problem: Dynamics AX native functionality not “cutting the mustard”

With 25 branches and 24 regional locations throughout Australia and New Zealand their strong customer focus promises to meet any need on time and within budget. While NHP stock an impressive 70,000 plus line items, they are much more than a component supplier. NHP source the highest quality products from leading global suppliers, and customize these into solutions for the local market. For the customized product systems and solutions, NHP utilized Product Builder, the native Microsoft Dynamics AX product configurator. However, NHP were experiencing several problems; their business requirements were beyond the Product Builder functionality, for setting up the models specialized IT knowledge was needed, there was no functionality to facilitate eBusiness or customer self-service. What NHP needed was a tool that integrated with Dynamics AX which would enable them to improve customer service and be a launch pad for future initiatives. After an extensive evaluation process, eCon’s Sales and Product Configurator was chosen.
