Seventh Generation Inc. Adopts NAV 5.0

A major environmental products company, Seventh Generation Inc., has adopted NAV 5.0.
Microsoft announced recently that Seventh Generation, the nation's leading brand of nontoxic, environmentally safe household and personal care products, selected Microsoft Dynamics NAV as its business management solution.

"We found that Microsoft Dynamics NAV straight out of the box covered 95 percent of our business needs," said Nancy Stoddard, vice president of Information Technology for Seventh Generation.

Burlington, Vt.-based Seventh Generation has experienced unprecedented growth in recent years, generated by distribution and consumer demand for its products. Previously the company relied on numerous spreadsheets to track its business, requiring data to be re-entered multiple times; and the system encountered difficulty keeping pace with the expansion of the business.

Microsoft Gold Certified Partner SCS, in Santa Monica, Calif., is implementing the solution, integrating it with all of Seventh Generation's existing Microsoft products: Windows XP, Microsoft SQL Server 2005, Microsoft Office 2003, Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server. Common interfaces and shared data will allow Seventh Generation to adopt the extensively integrated system easily and will centralize information that previously was being transmitted internally through e-mail.
