3. CONTROL YOUR SUPPLY
CHAIN
Good supply chain management software can help you plan and organize the delivery of goods
and services to your business. It can also help you monitor delivery, helping you keep a close
eye on inventory levels while you track the latest shipment.
Microsoft Dynamics offers all of these functions, and more, from a user-friendly dashboard
that is connected with ERP tools so you can calculate trends and predict your next move. This
insight helps you determine when to negotiate pricing with vendors or when to increase or
lower customer pricing. These intelligent business tactics will help you boost profits by
responding to market demands.

4. COLLABORATE TO
INCREASE SUCCESS
Using cloud-computing models to manage your supply chain means that you will naturally
collaborate with all stakeholders. This added insight from sales, marketing, or even vendors,
will help give you a 360-view of your supply chain from a different perspective. Together, you
will work to boost profits for your enterprise.
Vendors will be able to review contracts online. Sales will see customer service issues before
they walk into a client site. Marketing will know immediately if their latest campaign is working
(or if it needs some adjustment). Online collaboration enables everyone in the business to
engage in your success.

5. BUILD AND MAINTAIN
BETTER RELATIONSHIPS
Without maintenance, all relationships atrophy over time. Microsoft Dynamics helps you stay
in close contact with customers, vendors, or other external partners that are so crucial to your
business. Your sales team will be able to access contracts and customer service or billing
communications with their clients. A self-service portal will let vendors’ access agreements or
other commitments, along with the ability to communicate in real-time. You can even use
Microsoft technology to take advantage of vendors who use electronic data exchange (EDI)
without having to install the costly software in your company.

6. CONCLUSION
Improved supply chain management software will significantly improve the customer
relationship side of your business by helping you to complete orders quicker and with greater
reliability. Better supply chain management means your field-based sales reps won't sell
something that you don't have or fail to offer customers the latest sale price because they
didn't get the memo. Dynamics does all this, and also serves as an information hub for your
customer service team. When clients call, they won’t have to stay on hold while
representatives shuffle through documents or ask a supervisor for information. Just enter
data once into Dynamics, and it is there for everyone to see—from frontline sales to back office
billing.
These are just a few of the ways supply chain management software can boost your profits.
