How warehouse automation can transform your business

Many organizations struggle to optimize their warehouses especially if their warehouses are multisite. Distribution and logistics industries are labor-intensive but are growing and full of opportunities to increase new efficiencies including automation of any number of processes. These organizations will benefit immensely from the automation of warehouse operations to reduce error-prone repetitive tasks that reduce the workload of warehouse staff, greatly increasing productivity and accuracy.

Dynamics 365 solutions have powerful inventory and warehouse management capabilities that can help streamline operations. Empower your organization to automate key aspects of your business to streamline the pick, pack, and ship process and automate distribution workflows for automatic inventory replenishment.

Seamlessly automate your warehouse using Dynamics 365. With integrated warehouse management you can optimize operations, material handling, workforce planning, and inventory flow. Additionally, you can track performance and boost productivity with configurable dashboards that may be accessed with a mobile app.

With Dynamics 365 you can easily scale distribution during peak processing times and keep critical warehouse processes running at high throughput. Even ensure business continuity in remote locations even when disconnected from the cloud with the Scale Unit Add-in for Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.

Set up and maintain bins and zones that reflect the layout of your warehouse using the dimensions of your racks, columns, and shelves. Item journals can be used to assign bins directly on document lines or provide insight into planning by defining characteristics for bins. Use templates to determine the best placement of items based on type, size, and bin capacity.

Use released sales orders to create pick lists. Manage picking and put away work from released purchase orders, and manage both without opening sales and purchase orders when handling shipments. Manage receipts and warehouse shipments from a separate interface in a multi-order environment.

Embedded Power BI analytics provide real-time data about the health of your warehouse. With real-time insights into your operations you can optimize warehouse processes by improving the granularity and availability of data into functions.

With intelligent warehouse management capabilities included in Dynamics 365, your organization can gain unprecedented visibility into inventory, orders, and equipment. Dynamics 365 offers exceptional visibility in an easy-to-understand and centralized platform.
