Serenic Navigator is a comprehensive software solution with features and functionalities to enhance complex and unique workflow processes. It’s well suited for non-profits, public sector organizations, and non-government entities. It’s designed to facilitate the management of grants, payroll, and HR operations.
Built on Microsoft Dynamics NAV, Serenic Navigator offers a customizable chart of accounts for 110 alphanumeric characters and up to 10 primary dimensions. You can also set up an unlimited number of additional dimensions to develop sub-ledger reports.
As an embedded Microsoft Dynamics NAV solution, it allows for easy integration with Microsoft Office applications such as Excel and Word, as well as Microsoft Office 365 and One Note. It handles a number of transaction types including estimates, payment processing, recurring journal entries, obligations, sales and use tax, regular, automatic and electronic bill payments. You can also track funds, account types, and classes.
When you set up Role Centers, each of your users will only have permission to the features and functionalities they need for their particular role. Each role center can be defined to a number of user levels. For example, an accounting manager would have access to different functions than a clerk.

You can view all of your allocation entries prior to posting, including direct and indirect allocations. It also provides an automatic fund balancing capability, so all of your accounts will be balanced at all times.
Budgeting
Serenic BudgetVision has a comprehensive budget management capability, and the ability to create and manage multiple budgets from a single fiscal year to multiple fiscal years. You can develop original budgets or use an existing one to create a new version. You can also design budgets for a specific grant or project.
It utilizes a Decentralized Budgeting Process, so you can easily create flexible budgets for your specific fund or project. You can even create multiple versions of a single budget and build in a “what-if” scenario to view the impact on a budget prior to posting.
Deposits and Loans
Keeping all deposit and loan records up to date can be time-consuming. Serenic Deposits and Loans allows you to capture an entire client deposit and loan picture while integrating with your financial management suite. It will automatically update all your records including your general ledger.

Analytics
Serenic Analytics has easy-to-implement processes for presenting general ledger data and pre-defined dashboards, charts, graphs, and worksheets. Use these dashboards to view your data with multi-dimensional worksheets and dynamic charts that can provide the critical financial details you need.
You create reports by highlighting a range in a worksheet or clicking on a section of a chart. Serenic Analytics can be configured with a Serenic Consultant to integrate with ERP modules and 3rd party databases, so you have all the information you need in a single view.
