industries and by many different types of customers. It is also known as a horizontal business
solution.
The illustration below shows the business areas that can be covered out-of-the-box with
Dynamics NAV:
ERP Tailoring Options

Since Dynamics NAV is a business solution with a broad reach, there may be some gaps when it
comes to requirements and capabilities that are specific to certain types of businesses or
industries. This gap can be closed by for instance:
customizing the solution
adding add-ons
selecting a vertical solution
Vertical Solutions

Vertical solutions, like the TRIMIT solutions, are developed by Microsoft partners who have specialized in a
business area. Instead of customizing Dynamics NAV for e.g. the food industry over and over again - writing
code from scratch - they have taken specific business knowledge and applied it to a full package solution
that solves all or most of the common business requirements.
You can find Dynamics NAV-based vertical solutions for industries like:

Food

Fashion
Retail
Furniture
Graphics
Advantages of a Vertical Solution

developed in cooperation with companies and partners in your industry. You are not alone when it
comes to the further development of the solution - neither when it comes to investment nor
functionality.
most often implemented by a partner who knows your industry. With industry-knowledge, your
partner can challenge your company's bad habits which can lead to improvements you had not
considered.
