The heartbeat of an economy is always the businesses that thrive in it and amongst those businesses manufacturing has long been recognized as an important measure for determining the health and well-being of regional communities. In the manufacturing community running DynamicsGP, Horizons International has delivered over 3 decades of high value functionality for process, discrete and mixed mode industries, enabling our customers to grow and develop business within their important home regions and we will continue to do so.

Ours was the first solution written in Dexterity, the native development platform of DynamicsGP, to provide BOM and backflushing capabilities, the first to provide serial and lot trace and the first to provide Multi-Product functionality that supports both discrete and process manufacturers in a single software solution. From the outset our goal was to make it possible for small and mid-size manufacturers to have the same range of functionality as multi-site enterprise customers at a cost they could afford.

Continuing in this leadership, service and value tradition we have joined the Knights of GP organization and are embracing the commitment to ongoing support and product development for the next 10+ years. Participation in the Knights of GP allows us to engage with and support the larger business community. A community who are combined in their dedication to creating meaningful opportunities for DynamicsGP end users to plan successfully for their future by making the most of their current business investments.
We know that when the basic cost and count transactions of manufacturing are done what remains is the productivity opportunity of automating the human based transactions so that information and data move seamlessly, with minimal friction and interruption, through the organization. Whether that automation is sourced in machine outputs on the shop floor, scanning at workstations or automated sorting for quality standards, this next wave of manufacturing automation and cost reduction relies on the existence of structured manufacturing data that exists in well-defined databases with great governance.

The existence of this mature well-developed data enables manufacturers to put in place the sophisticated processes that yield maximum data and safety goals while minimizing costs and risks. We will continue to help them leverage these assets by focusing on how to reliably automate more processes, run lot trace, generate the documents required for quality reporting and much more. Delivering process, mixed mode and discrete manufacturing for DynamicsGP with Knights of GP will support your efforts to fully leverage your investments.

We believe there should be no forced migrations, no rushed decisions, only ample, targeted opportunity for improvement. Process, mixed mode and discrete manufacturing for DynamicsGP with Knights of GP supports the full range of manufacturing needs, cost effectively, based on decades of experience and knowledge.

We know that the rich range of software functionality that is necessary to run manufacturing businesses and meet regulatory and information requirements has taken decades to develop, deploy and validate. We know there are not, today or next year or even two years after that, easy, low risk alternative platforms delivering the rich functionality needed for successful manufacturing at a cost comparable to the current budgets and investments that GP users enjoy.

We also recognize that change is inevitable and as part of our continued commitment to customer success we have developed our interactive questionnaires and analysis tools to help manufacturers understand the maturity of their manufacturing practices so they can continue to prepare their teams for future actions.

We recognize that at the core of successful change is the high value task of preparation. Our tools have been designed to help your organization determine where resources can best be invested in those preparation tasks, so that you continue to maximize the value of the investments you have made.
