Company Overview
HCP is a regional fast-moving consumer-goods manufacturer and distributor operating across Lebanon and the UAE. The finance team needed rock-solid product-cost accuracy to protect margins and speed decision-making.
Situation
HCP’s first Dynamics NAV setup had critical gaps:
The average cost algorithm was mis-configured, causing erratic unit costs.
Sales sometimes priced below true margin or well above target cost.
Month-end close was painful; finance had to reconcile inventory valuation outside the system.
Staff were not fully trained, impacting system use efficiency.
Solution
Haceb applied a business-first approach and tuned the tech:
Clean slate re-implementation: rebuilt item, BOM, and general-ledger setups to match FMCG cost-flow requirements.
Corrected costing logic: enabled Cost Adjustment batch, set proper costing method, aligned posting groups.
Role-tailored automation: introduced workflow queues to replace manual spreadsheets.
Hands-on training: enabled every department on best-practice use of NAV.
Impact
Reliable margins with automatic average cost updates.
Trusted reporting supporting quicker decisions.
Faster processes by removing manual re-keying.
Confident users reducing off-system workarounds.
