Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management

We support Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management for larger manufacturers and distributors that need planning, warehousing and production on the Microsoft platform.

The short answer

Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management covers inventory, warehouse operations, procurement, production and planning for organisations with complex supply chains. It works alongside Dynamics 365 Finance. BookMyTechies supports process design, configuration, data migration and reporting.

What Supply Chain Management does

Supply Chain Management handles operations at scale.

Inventory management

Stock tracked by site, warehouse, batch and serial number.

Warehouse management

Receiving, put-away, picking and shipping guided by mobile devices.

Procurement

Purchase requisitions, orders and vendor collaboration.

Production

Discrete, process and lean manufacturing in one system.

Planning

Supply planned against demand, with near real-time recalculation.

Asset management

Equipment maintenance planned and recorded.

Is Supply Chain Management the right fit?

This is a system for complex operations.

A strong fit when

  • You run several sites or warehouses
  • You need advanced warehousing or mixed production modes
  • You use, or plan to use, Dynamics 365 Finance
  • Your organisation is committed to Microsoft

Look elsewhere when

  • You are a small or mid-sized manufacturer, where Odoo or Business Central fit better
  • You need a fast, low-cost rollout
  • Your operations are simple

Common questions

Is this the same as Business Central?

No. Business Central includes inventory and basic manufacturing for smaller organisations. Supply Chain Management is for larger, more complex operations.

Does it support process manufacturing?

Yes, alongside discrete and lean production.

Do we need Dynamics 365 Finance as well?

They are designed to work together, and most organisations implement both.

How do you support a rollout?

In phases, usually one site at a time, alongside your team.
