Keys to Success
Better control of inventory movement in the shop floor and warehouse
By utilizing a MetaWMS solution that works seamlessly with Dynamics 365 Business Central, operations in the production floor and warehouse are now updated to the ERP system promptly.
Additionally, the MetaWMS has extensive functions that cover the inventory transaction and recording container condition, QC check, etc.
Supply Chain Management
Sales/sales data and production management are organically linked to improving production planning activities, obtaining recommendations from the system that lead to optimal purchasing and production planning.
EDI orders from their trading partners, including supermarkets and groceries, directly come to Dynamics 365 Business Central. This integration greatly helps to reduce manual data entries involved in order processing and fulfillment.
Compliance
A glass, ceramics and concrete manufacturer needs to know the route from the raw material to the finished product when a recall occurs.?With Dynamics 365 Business Central’s fine-grained inventory management function, raw material lots, WIP lots, and product lots are all linked so that they can respond immediately in case of a recall.
Business Impact
Through this project, MetaOption standardized the process flow through Dynamics 365 BC and now manages and processes documents much easier.
Dynamics 365 BC enables departmental control of tracking and process overview with live visibility of QC hold in the process.
Finally, Dynamics 365 BC creates a more efficient tracking and tracing process from start to finish.
