Dynamics AX Takes Warehouse Management to a Whole New Level
Posted on: October 5, 2016 | By: Craig Thompson | Microsoft Dynamics AX/365
For many Wholesale Distributors and Manufacturers harnessing the power of Dynamics AX’s ERP software, warehouse management is a top priority. With warehouse management capabilities built into your modern ERP software, users have the ability to be flexible in their outbound processing, streamline inventory processing and increase the quality of material handling. While it certainly is possible to effectively manage your warehouse operations without Dynamics AX’s automated capabilities, it certainly does make the day to day much more efficient.
Flexible Outbound Processing
Customers value flexibility in the delivery process, especially when it leaves them room to customize to their liking. Microsoft Dynamics AX’s warehouse management capabilities allow for workflow customizations, batch number lot tracking to give customers around the clock service and the ability to choose just how orders will be processed. Users have the option to process orders automatically, manually, batch-time scheduled, filtered, grouped and container calculations packaging making it easy to choose just which process works best for your organization. AX takes outbound processing to a whole new level by configuring to what works best for your business instead of making you adjust to their software.
Streamlined Inventory Processing
One of the biggest places that wholesale distributors lose money is through their stocked inventory; not having enough of the right products, excess waste and even having disconnected data are all areas that can lose your distribution company money and impact customer relationships.
Lowering inventory costs is easier than ever with Dynamics AX’s advanced inventory allocation capabilities. AX allows users to use flexible location directives to organize warehouse layouts, have complete real time visibility into their stocked inventory as well as the ability to account for your inventory through multiple different cycle counting strategies depending on what works best for your organization. Managing your inventory is so important for providing exceptional customer service, delivering potentially lower cost items to your customers, and lowering your own expenses.
Increase Quality of Material Handling
Support your material handling within your warehouse with AX’s Radio Frequency support that allows for browser-based mobile handling on RF devices within your warehouse. Create mobile handheld device menus within AX to include each user, user groups, layout changes and error log actions. These customizations can simplify your warehouse management operations and increase the quality of material handling.
Microsoft Dynamics AX is an excellent solution for users looking to enhance their Warehouse Management Capabilities through the use of an automated ERP system.
