Solution
In order to automate daily Van Rees Russia operations with Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Awara IT adapted existing regulations according to HQ requirements.
Awara IT team is very well familiar with the tasks alike related to the Russian localization and accounting specifics adaptation with Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012.
