Woodcraft Supply Partners With enVista For Microsoft Dynamics AX ERP Implementation

enVista ERP consulting practice selected based on extensive Microsoft Dynamics AX experience and deep retail supply chain expertise

enVista, a leading supply chain consulting and IT services firm, announced recently that it was selected to design and implement a Microsoft Dynamics AX ERP solution for Woodcraft Supply, one of the nation's oldest and largest suppliers of quality woodworking tools and supplies. The retailer/distributor partnered with enVista based on enVista’s significant retail and supply chain expertise and experience implementing Microsoft Dynamics AX.

The robust functionality offered by Microsoft Dynamics AX will enable Woodcraft Supply to optimize its order processing capabilities and business processes. Specifically, enVista will focus on functionality that addresses financial management and reporting, procurement, customer service, inventory management and CRM applications.

According to Ryan Knost, Director of Business Applications and Technology at Woodcraft, “We had outgrown our 20 year old system that no longer provided the necessary support and flexibility needed to be competitive in today’s market. In our search to replace our existing systems, Microsoft Dynamics AX was a consistent recommendation. We then interviewed several implementation teams and unanimously agreed to go with the enVista team. They bring deep expertise with both Dynamics AX and Manhattan Associates’ Warehouse Management Systems.”

Bruce Eicher, Managing Partner at enVista, said, “We are honored to be selected by Woodcraft Supply as its Microsoft Dynamics AX ERP implementation partner. Woodcraft requires a solution that will enable the company to expand its business with an eye toward the future. We look forward to helping Woodcraft move from its existing legacy business applications to a robust ERP platform that will address all of Woodcraft’s long-term operational and business requirements.”

Woodcraft has over 21,000 items available for sale, 14,000 of which it keeps in stock. The company is able to ship to all 50 states in the U.S., as well as to 117 foreign countries. Woodcraft also has a franchise relationship with 76 retail stores. In order to improve visibility and technology integration across Woodcraft’s enterprise and with the company’s more than 500 vendors, enVista will work closely with Woodcraft to implement eCommerce technology.
