The challenge

What Disconnected Supply Chain Systems Cost Your Business

Most supply chain failures are not caused by external disruption alone. They are the predictable outcome of operating on systems that were not built to work together.

No Real-Time Visibility

When inventory data, production status, supplier lead times, and warehouse capacity live in separate systems, decisions rely on reports that are hours or days behind reality. The cost shows up in stockouts, overstock, and service failures.

Legacy Systems Without Support

Microsoft ended mainstream support for Dynamics AX in 2021. Organizations still running AX, NAV, or GP are operating without security patches and on platforms that cannot be meaningfully extended to meet modern requirements.

Integration Overhead

A separate WMS, a separate TMS, a standalone MRP system, each with its own integration to maintain. Every vendor update is a potential breakage. The cost of keeping fragmented systems synchronized scales with business complexity.

Manual Planning Processes

Demand forecasting in spreadsheets, production scheduling by tribal knowledge, supplier communication by email. Manual processes cannot scale and concentrate risk in individuals.

Our Services

Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management Service Offerings

Folio3 covers every stage of the Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management lifecycle, from initial implementation through ongoing support and continuous improvement.

Start Here

Begin with a Supply Chain Readiness Assessment

Understand exactly where your current environment falls short and what Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management would realistically change for your operation, before committing to a full implementation.

Step 01

Current state review of your system landscape, pain points, and integration requirements.

Step 02

Gap analysis against Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management capabilities for your industry.

Step 03

Scoped implementation roadmap with realistic timeline and budget range. No obligation to proceed.

Moving from Dynamics AX, NAV, or GP?

Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management is the designated cloud successor for Dynamics AX, with significant functional overlap that makes the transition more structured than a full re-implementation. Folio3 has completed migrations from all three platforms with full data preservation and zero production downtime on go-live.

Common Questions

Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management FAQs

What Is the Difference Between Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management and Business Central?

Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management is built for mid-market and enterprise manufacturers and distributors with multi-site operations, while Dynamics 365 Business Central is built for small and mid-sized businesses with simpler supply chains. Supply Chain Management adds multi-site production planning, advanced warehouse and transportation management, freight reconciliation, and AI-driven demand forecasting at scale. If you run multiple plants, distribution centers, or logistics networks, Supply Chain Management is usually the better fit.

A Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management implementation typically takes three to six months for core modules in a single legal entity, and nine to eighteen months for multi-site or multi-country rollouts with complex integrations. The timeline depends on the modules deployed, data migration complexity, third-party integrations, and the number of sites. Folio3 Dynamics sets a project-specific timeline during a discovery phase, before any commitment.

Migrating from Dynamics AX to Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management follows six steps: current state assessment, gap analysis, data migration planning, configuration of the new environment, parallel testing, and go-live cutover. Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management and Dynamics 365 Finance together are the cloud successors to Dynamics AX, so much of the functionality carries over. Folio3 Dynamics has migrated AX 2009 and AX 2012 customers with historical transactions, BOMs, routings, and lot traceability preserved.

Yes, Dynamics NAV and Dynamics GP users can move to Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, though Dynamics 365 Business Central is the more common path for smaller NAV and GP customers. Supply Chain Management makes sense when operations have outgrown a mid-market ERP, for example multiple plants, complex warehousing, or transportation management needs. Folio3 Dynamics migrates NAV and GP data to either platform and confirms the right fit during assessment.

You reduce the risk of a failed Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management implementation by setting scope after discovery, configuring for your industry, and holding go-live until users have tested and trained. Most failed ERP projects trace back to a gap in one of those three areas. Folio3 Dynamics starts every project with a paid discovery phase and a written scope, and runs a troubled implementation practice for projects already in trouble.

Post-go-live support for Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management covers break-fix resolution, configuration changes, Microsoft update testing, user training, and advisory help on operational questions. Folio3 Dynamics provides both technical and functional support on reactive or proactive models, depending on how much capability your internal team has.

Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management is used by discrete manufacturers, process manufacturers, food and beverage producers, pharmaceutical companies, wholesale distributors, third-party logistics providers, and industrial equipment companies. Folio3 Dynamics deploys it across all of these industries and applies industry-specific configuration from the start of each engagement rather than adapting a generic setup after go-live.

Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management is best integrated with e-commerce platforms, marketplaces, EDI providers, and logistics systems through an integration platform rather than point-to-point custom middleware. Folio3 Dynamics uses Burq, Folio3's own iPaaS, which keeps connections running when either system updates. Burq includes pre-built connectors for major platforms, and Folio3 builds custom connectors for systems not already covered.

Yes, Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management includes warehouse management and transportation management natively, in the same system as procurement, production, sales, and finance. Warehouse management covers directed put-away and picking, wave planning, license plate tracking, yard management, and cycle counting. Transportation management covers carrier rates, load planning, routing, freight reconciliation, and shipment tracking, so there is no separate WMS or TMS to maintain.

Yes, Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management includes AI-driven demand forecasting that uses your transaction history and external signals. It also provides a sales and operations planning workbench, master planning with real-time exception management, and scenario modeling. Copilot in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management adds demand sensing recommendations and flags overloaded work centers.

Yes, Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management supports discrete, process, and lean manufacturing in one system. It handles multi-level bills of materials, batch and formula management, routing and work center capacity planning, production order execution, and kanban replenishment, so mixed-mode manufacturers can run all production on a single platform.

Yes, Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management tracks lot and serial numbers across inventory and warehouse operations, supporting compliance and recall management in food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and other regulated industries. It also includes license plate and location tracking, quality orders, and non-conformance processing. Folio3 Dynamics preserves existing lot history when migrating from Dynamics AX, NAV, or GP.
