BCS Itera on Eestis suurim Dynamics NAV ja LS Retail partner.
Norsk Medisinaldepot AS (NMD) to enter into a major contract: NMD has signed an agreement for a cloud-based ERP system for 320 pharmacies and 1600 Points of Sale. This agreement entails the implementation of Microsoft Dynamics NAV and the LS Pharmacy solution from LS Retail, with a 10-year service and management contract.
“It’s been essential for us at NMD to locate a solid and forward-looking standard solution that can help optimize our business processes and interactions with our customers. Experience in pharmacy software played a big role, as did the opportunity to work effectively across Nordic country borders. The implementation includes Microsoft Dynamics NAV along with the pharmacy module LS Pharmacy, developed by LS Retail. LS Retail is Microsoft’s largest independent software vendor within retail and pharmacy. LS Pharmacy is fully compliant with DIFA, a common data exchange platform for the pharmacy sector and for government systems.
This contract provides Norsk Medisinaldepot’s chains, Vitusapotek and Ditt Apotek, with a modern and complete pharmacy solution that covers the increasing demands of a changing environment. The latest Microsoft Dynamics technology complemented by LS Pharmacy ensures that we deliver a state-of-the-art solution with rich functionality. Both the pharmacy staff and their customers will reap the benefits.
The entire solution will be delivered as Software as a Service (SaaS) in the Norwegian cloud. This means that NMD does not need to invest in buying and running their own hardware and software. The solution is scalable, and regular updates will be provided. In today’s dynamic retail environment this reduces risks and costs, on top of ensuring the necessary flexibility to meet future customer needs.
The scheduled implementation project will take around 18 months, with planned rollout in the summer of 2020. The agreement also covers the operation and maintenance of the system for the following ten years.
