How do we define perfection? A perfect score in bowling is 300. A perfect score for a hotel or restaurant is 5 stars. A perfect SAT score is 1,600 points. Many activities or attributes are rated on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being a perfect score.

What metrics do we use to rate ERP software?

There’s no established point system for rating ERP software, although there are some software-comparison Web sites that use a variety of different ratings based on features, functionality, and other factors as well.

Of course, features and functionality are important. But other factors, such as reliability and ease of use, are equally important. Most important of all, in our opinion (and perhaps you would agree), is UX (user experience) and customer satisfaction. All the features and functionality, bells and whistles in the world don’t amount to much if your users find that the system is difficult to use, if the UI (user interface) is not intuitive, or if the navigation is confusing.

Also, if maintaining the system is a bear of a job, your IT team will be very unhappy. Or if it’s difficult to extract reports, your finance team will be grumpy.

’s Microsoft Dynamics NAV clients are happy campers!

One of many examples we could provide in the realm of distribution companies we work with is the case of Modern Optical International, a leading provider of eyeglass frames, distributing its high-quality optical products across the United States. Key components of Modern’s success are its field sales force and a focus on outstanding customer service.

​Modern has been using Microsoft Dynamics NAV since 1996 and has continued to invest in NAV through upgrades, fine-tuning, and ongoing training to ensure that it's business systems stay competitive in this service-driven industry. They have also empowered their sales force by providing real-time access to sales data.

Liberty Grove Software grew out of its predecessor company, Studebaker Technology, which in 1996 became one of the first Navision developer/resellers in North America (Navision was the predecessor to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central/NAV). ​ As you can tell from our website, we focus exclusively on Business Central/NAV. Almost all our certifications, third-party add-ons, associates, services, and projects are Business Central/NAV-related. This is intentional because we want to offer only the highest caliber expertise to our clients, and we feel we can achieve this only if we devote ourselves to one ERP product.
