Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management capabilities

Predict demand using AI and make stock decisions with priority-based supply planning in near-real time, eliminating stockouts and overstocking.

Complete material requirements and resource planning in minutes so planners can react to demand changes in near-real time, leading to faster replenishment cycles and shorter delivery lead times.

Enrich historical demand data with AI predictions powered by Azure Machine Learning to improve forecasting for future supply levels.

Strategically position stock with stock buffers to minimise the risk for stockouts with demand-driven planning to automatically generate supply orders.

Ensure that the right products are in the right place at the right time with a single view of stock across channels and the ability to allocate stock for specific needs or customers.^*

Effectively communicate across sales, marketing, and operations using Microsoft Teams to streamline sales and operations planning.

Streamline procurement processes and improve cost management using supplier collaboration portals and punch outs to external catalogues.

Uncover risks to future planned purchases with data about past supplier performance and product metrics such as on-time in-full delivery rates with a comprehensive workspace.

Realise maximum cost savings by automatically applying negotiated pricing based on business-defined purchase policies.

Use a single, secure application to quickly onboard suppliers and collaborate across procurement processes such as purchase order management, request for quotation bidding, and invoicing.

Automatically build redundancy for critical supplies to mitigate parts shortages by enabling links to external supplier catalogues and suggestions for alternate products.

Effectively track supplier performance, lead times, and quality with embedded purchasing insights using built-in Power BI templates.
