Large Order Processing Examples

ClipperInc

I have been evaluating NAD for the last six months or so. I'm looking to speak with users/developers/anyone who have large order processing experience. Specifically, is anyone aware of a company using NAD to process 1000 or more orders per day? It would be especially helpful to find someone under this load in a multi-warehouse operation.

Thank you for your courtesy,

Personal record is 150'000 orders per day. (Automatically generated orders for subscribers).

The trick is to NOT post/ship the orders during day (that would decrease the performance dramatically) but doing a batch-post during lunch time or in the evening.
It depends a lot of the kind of business you are working in. In som cases most orders come in in the morning and shipment is done in the afternoon. So you can post a shipment whenever the truck is ready to leave without disturbing anybody.

With the right hardware and network setup you should be able to post 1000 orders a day with Distribution. We have run tests to simulate this but it really depends on the number of lines on the orders, whether you have picking enabled, and whether you have warehouse management turned on.

When Pets.com was still alive, we were processing up to 10,000 orders a day in NAD, with the data flowing through the usage based procurement model. Because of the volume and 24/7 operation, posting was an issue. We addressed this by creating a number of auto-running processes in Navision that posted on a user-defined time interval. This allwed them to post not only the orders this way, but also shipments, receiving, adjustments, etc.

This kept the load on the server to a minimum and didn't appreciably create performance issues.

Hey, I agree with Alexey.
What is your problem? Do you have problems with posting a huge quantity of order?
