Smarter Reporting and Document Control

Lasernet has enabled Cross Manufacturing to streamline its reporting by integrating real-time data from both Dynamics 365 and legacy systems. This has simplified complex reporting processes and significantly improved document generation.

With faster access to up-to-date operational reports, the manufacturing team is now able to make more informed decisions on production sequences and scheduling. In addition, Lasernet supports the rapid creation of customer-specific reports and essential traceability documentation, enhancing both efficiency and compliance.

Lasernet, an optimal single solution

With information stored within Dynamics 365 and a variety of legacy systems, Cross Manufacturing wanted to streamline its reporting capabilities and accelerate its document generation and output requirements.

During their Dynamics 365 implementation, Cross Manufacturing realised that the out-of-the-box reporting solutions were insufficient for their needs. They required comprehensive operational reports to support their manufacturing environment, as well as customer-specific reports and output paperwork that included manufacturing traceability information. This necessitated the integration of data from Dynamics 365 with their previous and legacy ERP systems.

Cross Manufacturing determined that Lasernet was the optimal single solution, given its capability to access real-time information from both Dynamics 365 and legacy systems.
