Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management

Bucking the trend: Growing in times of crisis with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management

It is what it is: similarly, multiple crises are hardly manageable. Anyone who wants to secure or even expand competitive advantages can no longer avoid digitization.

When it comes to the digital modernization of core processes, the first step is understandably not exactly easy, because the processes from order processing to purchasing and materials management, production, and logistics are at the heart of every trading or manufacturing company. But once you tackle your core processes and rely on an integrated digital ERP platform like the Microsoft Dynamics 365 family, you immediately reap benefits in terms of productivity, transparency, resilience, and agility. Here, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management handles the flow of quantities across your entire supply chain, while Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance represents the associated flow of values. And it doesn’t matter whether you work at one main location or are an international company with numerous production sites and sales companies.

Progress through digital supply chains with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management

Pandemics, climate crises, and changing times are fundamentally challenging previously successful globalization models. If you want to remain capable of meeting demand, you need to be able to anticipate potential bottlenecks and adjust your internal and external supply chains virtually overnight. The prerequisite for this is absolute transparency across your entire supply chain.

The Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management digital platform and the new Microsoft Supply Chain Center do just that:

from order entry to delivery and transport, all processes are completely digitally networked. Depending on requirements, different locations can be considered both separately and aggregated in order to avoid supply bottlenecks or surplus production capacity, for example.

In addition, classic ERP functionality, such as material requirements planning and scheduling, production planning and control, and warehouse and logistics functionality, offers extensive tools for automating routine tasks in daily business.

The cherry on top brings your introduction to data-inspired business: extensive reporting dashboards create transparency about the status quo and allow a variety of simulations and analyses of supply bottlenecks and their effects.
