Case Study: Earth Island saves $100,000 and achieves 99% Dynamics NAV utilization with Western Computer

Earth Island Saves $100,000 Reimplementing Microsoft Dynamics Nav With Western Computer

Earth Island, a natural foods manufacturer whose products are sold in 18,000 grocery stores across 23 countries, needed an ERP that delivered end-to-end food traceability while reducing costly customizations and increasing system utilization. Facing an initial upgrade estimate of over $130,000, Earth Island engaged Western Computer to reimplement Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 to meet those requirements.

Western Computer delivered a tailored reimplementation of Dynamics NAV 2016, shifting project ownership to Earth Island, providing targeted training and support, and removing legacy customizations. The work yielded roughly $100,000 in savings (final upgrade cost ≈ $35,000), 99% out-of-the-box utilization, full traceability from purchasing through sale, implementation of EDI and barcode workflows, and real-time reporting via Jet Reports used across the business.
