365 Business Central doesn't just provide insights; it transforms warehouse operations

 

Warehouse management helps to collate organisational information and connect the processes and workflows. This allows for more accurate inventory management to occur because it is based on real-time data collection. 

By improving all of the existing processes and automating them it will provide your managers with a clearer picture of the businesses performance - looking at margins, profitability and areas for improvement. Not only this but it also has room for flexibility in the functionality of the feature, allowing businesses to amend individual processes to align with the growth of the business.

There are two ways that the Dynamics 365 Business Central can control the warehouse management; simply, or sophisticated. 

A simple warehouse management structure would be where the stock is in the warehouse and the solution simply just manages the quantity of goods by item. PO’s are booked and items are transferred to other locations, then sales orders are marked as shipped to the customers. 

For a more sophisticated warehouse management system staff would use handheld scanners to receive PO’s, the scanner will provide them with ‘put away’ instructions where the location in the warehouse for the goods will be specified based on bin capacity and pick up zones. Pick runs (generated by the shipping agent), type of order, and other criteria are used to enable efficient picking routes and shipment confirmation to be recorded at packing benches.

 

To enhance warehouse management further, you can:

  • Improve organisation by setting up bins and zones to reflect the warehouse layout
  • Streamline inventory storage and capacity using templates to determine the best item placement
  • Enable cross-docking to optimise picking processes and speed up shipments
  • Keep customers informed with real-time data on item location and quantity for quick order fulfilment.

 

The key benefits of Dynamics 365 Business Central's warehouse management include:

  • Meeting productivity goals
  • Gaining clear business performance insights
  • Achieving increased inventory accuracy
  • Enhancing warehouse organisation
  • Ensuring customer satisfaction through prompt order fulfilment.
