Elevate Your Manufacturing With a Modern Solution and a Committed Partner

Month after month, we talk to manufacturers who are struggling to meet changing customer demands, reduce machine downtime, comply with regulations, and grow their tight profit margins.

What these businesses have in common is that their current technology solutions or partnerships have fallen behind the pace of their growing needs:

  • Consistency in product quality
  • Collaboration across departments
  • Innovation as an enterprise

Encore Business Solutions helps our manufacturing clients address these problems with strategic guidance, implementations, and support across the full stack of Microsoft business applications, especially Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations.

Encore went through a deep dive of our business, really trying to understand it and building a requirement list based on what they found.

Benefits of Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations for Manufacturers

Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations is Microsoft’s modern, cloud-based ERP for advanced manufacturing processes and enterprise businesses. Properly configured to your needs, it will enable your business to:

Use Powerful Manufacturing Features in Your ERP

  • Automate production scheduling for better planning and less waste of resources as client requests and supply chain options change.
  • More easily track and meet regulatory requirements, through automated compliance built into your system.
  • Expand, change, and grow your business with a modern solution that can scale up with you.

Leverage the Full Microsoft Stack

  • Work with Dynamics 365 data in familiar, connected tools like Excel and Outlook.
  • Tap in to cutting-edge AI capabilities like natural language search to quickly find the data you need.
  • Integrate your ERP with Dynamics 365 CRM solutions to track the full customer journey.
  • Automate processes with Power Automate.
  • Build dashboards across multiple applications with Power BI.

Note: Even though most customers, commentators, and consultants still call it Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations or D365FO, Microsoft now technically licenses it as Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management.
