Item attributes and specifications are automatically updated in Business Central’s native tables eliminating the need for re-entry.

Sourcing products from a global network of suppliers spanning multiple time zones and, with limited access to technology in many cases, makes maintaining current and accurate product specifications a difficult task.

 

One of the biggest sourcing challenges for companies today is the constant manual logging of product specifications into Excel and communicating this information across the supply chain via email. Importing, exporting and consolidating important product data from spreadsheets and emails can be a tedious and complex endeavor. To make a measurable impact on your top and bottom lines, you need to implement proactive and collaborative product specification strategies that involve the suppliers and production teams early in the product lifecycle.

​

Item Design Specifications (JBA-IDS) is a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central extension designed to bridge the product information communication gap between Design, Development, Production, Purchasing, Marketing, Sales and your global network of suppliers.

 

By leveraging the Dynamics 365 Business Central’s native architecture and its natural integration and connectivity to other Microsoft’s tools, JBA-IDS provides real time product information that is disseminated throughout the organization, without the need for interfaces or painful data loads.
