Business Central in a manufacturing company

For many manufacturing companies, it’s a challenge to achieve full control and overview of the entire production process (production management and production planning) to minimize waste and production stops. At the same time, production is inextricably linked to sales, so you need to have as much control over sales forecasting and order intake as you do over production and inventory. Digitalization in manufacturing companies can solve some of these challenges.

How do you approach digitalization?

What opportunities do you have for digitization in manufacturing companies – including production management, production planning, inventory management and sales management – with standard Dynamics 365 Business Central?

We can help you find, use and digitize the functions and workflows that support the work in production within the possibilities Dynamics 365 Business Central offers. Perhaps combined with vendor-independent, recognized and proven apps.

Linking production, warehousing and sales

Management tools for Business Central

We help you gain access to a wide range of tools for production management, versioning of manufactured products, subcontractor management, time tracking, inventory management and sales management. These tools enable you to digitize functions and workflows within the standard solution.

Digitalization: The road to efficient production

Digitalization in manufacturing companies can minimize human error, free up resources and make it faster and easier to get an overview, minimizing shrinkage and avoiding production stops because production is suddenly missing a component, resulting in non-delivery.

Expand Business Central: Streamline with tailored apps

If you need functionality other than what you find in the standard Dynamics 365 Business Central, there is a wide range of apps that simply connect to your solution and digitize and systematize various resource-intensive functions. The apps do not interfere with the code in Dynamics 365 Business Central – but are connected to the solution in the same way as it is known from your smartphone.

All experience shows that digitalization in the manufacturing business brings multiple benefits: Increased productivity – Improved customer experience – Positive impact on society and the environment.

The challenges in the manufacturing business

  • Are we in control of our product design, including BOMs, routes, versioning, etc.
  • Are we in control of what we use in production? – Both material consumption and time registration?
  • Are we producing what we need to – on time – at the right price?
  • How big is our shrinkage?
  • How do we finalize produced goods?
  • Are we in control of production capacity – and are we making the best use of it?
  • Do our subcontractors deliver on time?
