Addressing the Misconception: Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is Standalone 

There is a common misconception that Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central operates alone. In reality, it’s the heart of your digital ecosystem, seamlessly connecting with a variety of applications and services. You won’t be forced to abandon existing systems; Dynamics 365 Business Central enhances them! It acts as a central hub, uniting departments like finance, sales, customer service, and operations. It also integrates with external tools you already use, ensuring smooth and synchronized workflows.

Empowering Businesses with Open APIs and Pre-built Connectors 

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central’s robust integration capabilities are a key differentiator. Open APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) and a vast library of pre-built connectors empower this flexibility.

Real-World Results: Werner Gourmet Meat Snacks 

Werner Gourmet Meat Snacks, a family-run business, recognized the need for a more advanced technology solution to help manage their manufacturing, sales, and finances. With many paper-based manual processes, they could not track steps in the production process. Disparate systems meant that Werner relied on manual processes and double data entry, causing errors and efficiency constraints. 

Werner implemented Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, integrated with DynamicShip and Banyan (3PL), to streamline their shipping process significantly. Previously, their logistics coordinator would manually gather quotes from multiple carriers. Now, with just a single click, they can obtain quotes from all carriers and choose the most suitable option. This efficiency has resulted in substantial time and cost savings in shipping. Werner utilized SPS Commerce for EDI transactions, but without an integration to their prior ERP system, orders needed to be manually downloaded from SPS and then manually updated and input back into the SPS portal. Now, with Dynamics 365 Business Central, their EDI capabilities are integrated and fully automated, eliminating manual data entry.  

Their online ecommerce store, built on Shopify, processes an average of 350 orders annually. Tasks like item maintenance, customer details, pricing, and sales orders were processed and managed manually. With the integration from Dynamics 365 Business Central to Shopify, these manual activities can be eliminated. 

By integrating with Microsoft 365, users can use Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Excel, Word, Outlook, Teams, and other tools they have always relied on. The ability to use Excel directly in Dynamics 365 Business Central allowed users to ramp up and adopt the new system faster.
