Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management

One solution for many challenges

We are struggling with fluctuating demand, material shortages and a lack of transparency in the supply chain.

F&SCM provides real-time insights into inventory, demand and delivery times – for reliable planning, better control and more stable processes.

Our production processes are complex. Capacities, production orders and resources are difficult to keep track of.

The solution combines production planning, MRP, capacity management and shop floor processes in a single system, making interrelationships immediately visible.

We have many systems in use – data is scattered, decisions take too long.

F&SCM combines finance, purchasing, warehousing, sales and manufacturing in a single platform, creating a consistent data basis.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&SCM vs. SAP S/4HANA

Many companies are faced with a choice: Microsoft or SAP? Both systems are among the leaders in the ERP market. However, especially in industrial and manufacturing environments, Dynamics 365 F&SCM offers advantages in terms of flexibility, implementation speed and integration into the Microsoft world, which are only possible with SAP at increased cost. Our overview shows the differences.

Case Studies

F&SCM Introduction in practice

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & SCM is an established solution on the market. With over 40 years of ERP experience and several decades of industry expertise, we know how to successfully implement the software in companies.

Dynamics 365 F&SCM Implementation

Project management: How we work

Fast, standardised, successful

Our implementation methodology relies on standard software and best practices rather than expensive custom developments. The goal: to get you started quickly with a preconfigured system – supported by rapid prototyping and industry-specific add-ons.

Short project durations

We implement your ERP in 9–12 months. Your key users actively work in the system from an early stage, see the user interface and experience initial partial successes. This makes the project tangible, transparent and process-oriented.

Two tried and tested process models

Classic - All phases run consecutively, the structure is clear, the planning simple and understandable.

Iteration - Focus on standard functions and best practices. Key users work in the system early on, data migration and integrated tests begin from the second iteration.

Requirements & tests

The project scope is clearly defined at the start. Test scenarios are available from iteration 2 onwards so that you can continuously gain security.

Knowledge transfer & support

Your key users receive practical training and later take over 1st level support for end users, thus building up internal expertise. For 2nd level support, we provide a reliable hotline and support contract and at the same time ensure the continuous optimisation of your financial processes.
