What is Dynamics NAV 2013?
Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 logoDynamics NAV is part of a range of ERP (enterprise resource planning) products offered by Microsoft. Some of you might have known it as Navision Solutions before it was re-branded by Microsoft in 2005. NAV was designed for small and medium-sized enterprises intended to assist them with the following business sectors:
  • Finance
  • Manufacturing
  • Customer relationship management
  • Supply chains

When Microsoft released Dynamics NAV 2009, it saw a huge success within mid sized companies due to its effectiveness and easy customization of the software.
