What Dynamics 365 SCM can do

A complete, AI-powered supply chain platform — configured end-to-end for your business by our UK team.

Procurement & Sourcing

Manage the full procure-to-pay cycle — purchase requisitions, RFQs, purchase orders, vendor agreements and vendor collaboration portal. AI-assisted supplier risk scoring and the Supplier Communications Agent automate routine buyer tasks and purchase order follow-ups.

Inventory Management

Multi-site, multi-warehouse inventory with serial number, batch and licence plate tracking. Manage stock journals, transfer orders, consignment stock, quarantine management and inventory costing (FIFO, FEFO, weighted average, standard cost) with full traceability.

Advanced Warehouse Management

Directed put-away and picking, wave processing, cluster picking, containerisation, cross-docking, slotting optimisation and cycle counting — all controlled via mobile device. Configure location directives, work templates and packing stations to match your exact warehouse processes.

Manufacturing

Supports discrete, process and lean manufacturing with production orders, bills of materials (BOMs), routes and operations scheduling. Finite and infinite capacity planning, subcontracting, shop floor execution via MES, and real-time production progress reporting with IoT sensor integration.

Master Planning & Demand Forecasting

Planning Optimisation provides near-real-time master planning with firming of planned orders, intercompany planning and demand-driven replenishment. AI-powered demand forecasting uses historical data and external signals to generate accurate, actionable demand plans.

Transportation Management

Plan, execute and reconcile inbound and outbound freight — load planning, route optimisation, carrier rating and booking, shipment tracking, freight bill reconciliation and landed cost management. Integrates with third-party logistics providers and carrier APIs.

Asset Management

Manage maintenance of plant, equipment and infrastructure — preventive and reactive maintenance plans, work orders, spare parts management, condition monitoring and maintenance cost tracking integrated with production scheduling and finance.

IoT & Sensor Intelligence

Connect IoT sensors from factory floor, warehouse and cold chain environments directly to Dynamics 365 SCM — generating automated alerts and actions when equipment, quality or environmental thresholds are breached. Real-time operational visibility without manual data entry.

Supply Chain Analytics

Embedded Power BI dashboards for inventory turnover, on-time delivery, supplier performance, production efficiency (OEE), landed cost and demand forecast accuracy. Copilot generates natural language supply chain insights, exception summaries and recommended actions for planners and operations managers.

AI & Copilot

Agentic supply chain — powered by Microsoft AI

Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management includes a growing suite of AI agents and Copilot capabilities that work autonomously alongside your supply chain team — predicting disruptions, automating routine tasks and surfacing the right insights at the right moment.

We activate and configure these AI capabilities as part of every SCM implementation — ensuring your operations team gains maximum value from day one.

Talk to a Consultant

Supplier Communications Agent

Autonomously drafts, sends and tracks purchase order confirmations with suppliers — monitoring responses, chasing overdue replies and escalating exceptions to buyers. Dramatically reduces routine buyer workload.

Procurement Risk Assessment

Copilot surfaces news and external signals that could affect supplier reliability — geopolitical events, financial distress indicators, logistics disruptions — giving procurement teams early warning to act before supply is impacted.

AI Demand Forecasting

Machine learning demand forecasting integrates historical sales, seasonality, promotions and external market signals to produce accurate demand plans — reducing stockouts, excess inventory and emergency procurement costs.

Copilot for Planners

Natural language interaction lets planners ask questions about supply position, demand variances, late purchase orders and production shortages — with Copilot generating summaries, exception reports and recommended planning actions in seconds.

IoT & Sensor Intelligence

Real-time signals from IoT sensors on production lines, in warehouses and across cold chains feed directly into Dynamics 365 SCM — triggering automated alerts, quality holds and maintenance work orders without manual intervention.

Custom AI Agents

Build bespoke supply chain agents tailored to your workflows using Microsoft Copilot Studio — connected to your Dynamics 365 SCM data, supplier portals, logistics systems and Teams for a fully integrated, autonomous supply chain.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management and our implementation service.

Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management is Microsoft's cloud-based enterprise SCM application — covering procurement, inventory, advanced warehouse management, manufacturing, master planning, demand forecasting and transportation. It is powered by AI and Microsoft Copilot and designed for manufacturers, distributors and retailers who need end-to-end supply chain visibility, resilience and the ability to respond quickly to disruption.

Business Central is an all-in-one ERP for SMBs covering finance, basic inventory, purchasing and simple manufacturing. Dynamics 365 SCM is a specialist, enterprise-grade application for organisations with complex supply chain requirements — advanced WMS, multi-site manufacturing, AI demand forecasting, transport management, landed cost and IoT integration. We help UK businesses choose the right solution and can implement both.

A focused implementation covering procurement, inventory and basic WMS for a single site typically takes 16–24 weeks. Multi-site deployments with manufacturing, demand planning and transport management take 24–48 weeks depending on complexity, integrations and data volumes. We agree a phased approach that delivers early value while building towards the complete solution.
