Ever wondered why businesses often delay the integration of advanced reporting tools like Power BI? Turns out, navigating the myriad of reporting requirements and tools can be overwhelming. Yet, the need is real. Companies are drowning in data, manually stitching together reports from various systems. Often, these reports consume hours of work and don’t even align with the true needs of the business. Shifting from manual 2-hour report preparations to a few clicks on a Power BI dashboard is a game-changer. Also, the potential time savings and self-service features empower teams like never before.

Ever wondered why companies frequently delay implementing advanced warehousing until Phase 2? This burning query is one I've grappled with repeatedly, especially when understanding the intricate dynamics of warehousing.

Such delays, while sometimes strategic, can sometimes amplify operational hiccups. This episode features an in-depth discussion with Shawn Sissenwein, a seasoned consultant at New View Strategies. Shawn sheds light on the nuances of transitioning from traditional to advanced warehousing, the pivotal role of cross-docking in today's fast-paced supply chains, and real-world success stories.

Often, companies hesitate to leverage Landed Costs until they reach a Phase 2 project because, quite frankly, many of them aren't even familiar with the concept.  In simpler terms, Landed Costs allow you to consider not only the initial price of a product or unit but also all the extra expenses associated with getting that item delivered to your receiving dock.

Ever wondered why companies delay training till Phase 2? Honestly, this is a vexing question (and a frustrating one!) for me too. Unfortunately, these three things: training, testing, and reporting are often the first budget items to be chopped when implementing an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system.  This is usually due to constraints in the overall project budget or time frame.

If you decided to tackle inventory reconciliation in Phase 2, it probably means that you weren't doing it before go-live. That's all right - the important thing is that you've realized it needs to be addressed, which is great! Putting it into place after going live might be a little tricky, but don't worry.

We use Business Central at New View daily and constantly find new ways to innovate with this amazing tool.  My favorite success story revolves around us. Sound surprising? Here's why: For a while, we weren't using Business Central as a tool for our sales processes. And guess what? We experienced the same issues our customers frequently reported to us. We had multiple lists of leads, systems that were not integrated, and no system of record that told the truth about our sales process. And we spent a lot of manual time getting from sales to invoicing. We finally decided to "drink our own champagne" and truly loved the result.  We have become so much more efficient and comfortable with our data, but we also understand our customers' needs better, especially when it comes to relationship management.

Do you maximize Dimensions as a tool in your BC system? It can significantly cut down the complexity of your chart of accounts. For those with segmented charts of accounts, Dimensions are a game-changer as they can help you focus on areas where there's a lot of breakdown for one account, like revenue or sales. So, think of dimensions as your little guardians guiding you through the world of accounting. Get the most out of them and simplify your life! Learn more in this new episode of 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗩𝗶𝗲𝘄 ▶   ✔ Dimensions add a whole new aspect to your filtering capabilities in the BC system. So what are Dimensions exactly? I like to look at them as data tags that you attach to your posted transactions. It's actually pretty straightforward. These data tags accompany each and every transaction that gets posted into the system.   ✔ Reducing complexity in your chart of accounts will lead to efficiency within your accounting department. Your team won't have to check with colleagues on how to code things—it's all taken care of! As the system handles it all, it effectively prevents any erroneous or 'garbage' data from filling up your dimensions. So, you have automation, control, and accuracy—all in one!   ✔ Setting up Dimensions can be a bit tricky after your system goes live. We personally suggest setting it up during the original configuration of your system. It's not entirely impossible to do that after the system is live,  but what makes this a tough task, is although you can set them up later, you might miss out on the chance to attach these data tags to your migrated and new data. This could require a good deal of effort.     ✔ We can help set up Dimensions in your system to do the heavy lifting for you. We're all in to guide awesome companies like yours to adapt and perfect this much-needed tool. During our sessions, we take into account the flow of accounts, financial reporting, and system efficiency. The purpose?

Why do companies defer financial reporting to Phase 2 in their ERP system?   💁🏼 Often they have the notion that they can do financials out of the box and are ready to go without their need to participate.   💁🏼 They believe that it's no big deal to accomplish this task at a later period and usually don't consider it a primary task for the system go-live.   💁🏼 There are many instances wherein no one within the team has adequate financial expertise, or the individual with the required skill set mainly uses Excel. Such folks might be planning to stick to Excel until they can spare the time to familiarize themselves with the new tool provided by Business Central.   Learn more in this new episode of 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗩𝗶𝗲𝘄 — Financial Reporting ▶   ✔ Putting financial reporting in your ERP system before go-live is just as challenging as after.  Integrating financial reporting BEFORE or AFTER the go-live holds an equal level of complexity. Instead of adding extra stress while everyone’s trying to learn the new system, a great idea would be to get reports in ASAP - remember the motto: the earlier, the better.    ✔ Financial Reporting using Business Central is very flexible and fast.  Having had the pleasure of working with hundreds of companies over the last 20 years, I've realized an interesting fact - hardly any two companies have identical financial reports! This is why the flexibility offered by Business Central is so invaluable. It enables you to tailor your financial statements exactly how you need them! Another highlight, which is often overlooked, is its remarkable speed. Open your new account schedule and voila, your numbers are ready in no time!  Now, you might ask - Isn't that supposed to be a given? Isn't speed expected? Well, think back to the other financial reporting packages you've used. Recall waiting for your numbers to load, enduring the processing time, and in worse scenarios, having to set the schedule overnight and anxiously waiting till the next day! Quite a contrast, isn't it?    ✔ Create your financial report dreams with New View! We specialize in simplifying Financial Reporting for you.

Pondering over how to make the accounts payable process faster and more efficient? It's common for companies to push this problem to Phase Two. Simply because, from their perspective, it seems like there are massive issues that need solving that require a lot of time and effort.   Just think about it. The invoices come in, perhaps via email or postal mail. They are printed out, someone gives the green light for payment and jots it down on the documents. And then, voilà, they have these gigantic filing cabinets stocked with paper invoices.    There are a handful of reasons why going paperless could be a revolutionary step for your business. Let's dive deeper into the benefits of ditching those paper invoices.   Learn more in this new episode of 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗩𝗶𝗲𝘄 — Paperless Accounts Payable ▶   ✔ Going paperless doesn't have to be difficult at all. Speaking to businesses and reassuring them is one element of our job at New View that we truly enjoy. There's often a fear that certain changes may take a long time, like going paperless in your AP, but the truth is that it can actually be quite a speedy process.    ✔ Paperless accounts payable allows people to work remotely and have more flexibility even in the accounting department. Often, accountants feel bound to their physical paperwork. 🗃️🤦🏼‍♀️ They have mountains of documentation on their desks and piles in their filing cabinets. Deciding to go on the paperless route completely trumps those constraints, allowing them to efficiently operate from a remote location, adding flexibility even to the accounting department.   ✔Electronic payments help eliminate paper and the mistakes made. Ever faced a situation where you needed to make a payment, but the check stock was either at your colleague's place or in the office? Well, with e-payments, we can completely avoid such situations and make payments from absolutely anywhere. That's the beauty of it, convenience right at your fingertips.   Essential points covered in this episode: [00:00:00] Intro [00:00:24] Why companies hold off paperless AP until Phase 2   [00:02:21] Is it really difficult to put this into place after go live?

Many firms and companies are not familiar with Reminders or, even if they've encountered them in their software, they may not realize how beneficial they are. Truth be told – Reminders are among the most underleveraged financial tools we have in Business Central. WATCH: Reminders ▶ ✔ Reminders are better than customer statements.  One major advantage of Reminders is their ability to incorporate various levels. (This is unlike Statements, where we traditionally send one format enlisting everything.) This flexibility with varied messaging styles is an exciting feature, a novelty that is unfortunately absent in the case of statements. ✔ Implementing Reminders with Business Central  Receiving a Customer Reminder definitely catches the eye that's why we strongly teach companies to use this incredibly effective approach.  This doesn't have to be complicated. Thanks to the reminder templates that come with Business Central, you can quickly assign those reminder terms to the customer in just a few minutes, making it very straightforward.  ✔ Easy and efficient Reminder Implementation with New View  We take pride in making the implementation of reminders as a Phase Two project a breeze for you! We've got a great flowchart that walks you through all the steps of how reminders work, from drafting the reminder terms to delivering or pulling the final reminder. Need help to tweak the different levels or change the wording? Or who should receive the reminders or how often to send them?  We've got you covered! We'll work alongside you throughout the whole process, guiding you on best practices for reminders.

Kerry Peters is joined by Cynthia Priebe to discuss why organizations put off setting up permissions and security until phase two, practical tips to make the implementation process easier, the benefits of getting it done, and a shocking customer story that will encourage you to get started.  Essential points covered in this episode: ✔️ The entire enterprise needs to be involved. Whether it’s phase one or phase two, permissions and security are everyone’s responsibility and should be a top-down effort. ✔️ Create ownership by giving tasks to each department. This not only makes the workload for your project reasonable but also minimizes the pains of issues caused by certain people not having permission to do what they need to do. ✔️ Permission sets and their structure is the core. Microsoft deprecates user groups and allows you to decide which sets get assigned to certain users or groups of users. ✔️ Setting up permissions helps monitor sensitive information. With Business Central, you can control and oversee who gets access to them, avoiding any data breach that could happen. ✔️ Be clear on who should be involved. Getting your data leaked can ruin your organization – so be sure to get your expectations aligned and have experts like New View Strategies guide you in getting your permissions and security done.

In this episode, Cynthie Priebe talks about using Business Central for workflow approvals and notifications, its overall benefits for your organization, and why you need to reconsider your company’s approval process now. Essential points covered in this episode: ✔️ Having only one place to look saves time. Eliminate manually writing emails, physical folders, and uncategorized back-and-forths waiting for approvals. It only takes one notification on Business Central to get the process moving. ✔️ An efficient workflow approval system positively impacts work performance. Instead of spending half an hour on every purchase order, one employee improved in vendor negotiation. No more printing spreadsheets. Approvals and reports are sent with a click. ✔️ Don’t be afraid to go paperless. Evaluate your organization’s current process and see how much it’s costing you. Not only does this simplify systems for hybrid and remote workplaces, but you also remove the spending on paper and extra time spent manually taking approvals and checking them.
