As an award-winning ERP for midsize
organizations, Dynamics NAV enables you to control your financials, supply
chain, sales, business intelligence and more. Many of the NAV users must be
wondering whether it can be integrated with third party systems such as sales
order management or not. Well, Microsoft Dynamics products are based on
different coding languages - many of which are proprietary - and may have
different protocols for integration with other applications. NAV is based
primarily on .NET architecture running atop a SQL database and only works with
the Explorer browser. Available as on-premise as well as cloud, the on-premise
installations have more of an ability to be customized and extended than the
cloud versions.
Microsoft Dynamics NAV can be
integrated with third party applications using either application programming
interfaces (APIs) or via DynamicsXMLport objects. APIs allow two-way
communication between Microsoft NAV and third party software. These APIs are
typically developed and maintained by the third-party software application
provider. By building custom interface using Dynamics’ XMLportobjects, NAV can
also be integrated with third party applications. This involves a system
administrator putting NAV data into an XML format for exchange or integration
purposes. Generally speaking, the API is by far the simpler of the two options.
Signs that show you need NAV Integration
Too Much Time Spent On Manual Data Entry – You have teams or individuals solely
dedicated to spending hours in manually moving data, then you’re ready for
automation.
Inaccurate Data Across All Systems – Bad data can lead to inconsistent product
information across sales channels, inaccurate delivery addresses for online
customers, and wrong inventory counts.
Inefficient Processes – Disconnected systems can cause your business
processes to be inefficient. If you won’t be able to process orders quickly or
give customers the accurate information they need to make a purchase, you will
be on the losing side.
Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics NAV
Integration
In this, you can integrate
Salesforce accounts, products and opportunity with NAV customers, Items and

historical NAV data into Salesforce or vice versa.
