Inarca SpA has been using Microsoft Dynamics NAV for several years. They need to manage plenty of resources and hundreds of projects at any given time using the standard Dynamics NAV jobs and resource planning modules. NAV’s typical way of handling and presenting data mainly in tables and dialogs made scheduling a big challenge for the company. In 2020 they decided to start using the Visual Jobs Scheduler to help solve their scheduling challenges. This turned out to be a game changer.
After a thorough review, the choice fell on NETRONIC's Visual Jobs Scheduler (VJS).
