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.

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.

Get Started

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

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

Both are Microsoft ERP solutions, but they serve different operational profiles. Business Central is designed for small to mid-sized businesses with relatively straightforward supply chain requirements. Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management is built for mid-market and enterprise organizations requiring advanced capabilities such as multi-site production planning, complex warehouse configurations, transportation management, freight reconciliation, and AI-driven demand forecasting at scale. If your operations span multiple plants, distribution centers, or logistics networks, Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management is the appropriate platform. Folio3 can advise on the right fit during an initial assessment.

Implementation timelines depend on the number of modules deployed, data migration complexity, third-party integrations, and the number of sites or legal entities involved. A focused deployment covering core supply chain modules for a single entity typically runs three to six months. Multi-site or multi-country rollouts with complex integrations generally range from nine to eighteen months. Folio3 runs a structured discovery phase at the start of every engagement to produce a realistic timeline specific to your environment, before any commitment is made.

Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management is the designated cloud successor for Dynamics AX, and the functional overlap between the two platforms is significant. The process involves a current state assessment, gap analysis, data migration planning, configuration of the new environment, parallel testing, and a go-live cutover. Folio3 has completed migrations from AX 2009 and AX 2012 with full preservation of historical transactions, BOMs, routings, and lot traceability, with zero production downtime on go-live day. The same applies to migrations from Dynamics NAV and Dynamics GP.

Failed ERP implementations typically stem from three causes: scope defined before requirements were properly understood, a partner who lacked industry depth and configured the system to generic templates, or a go-live rushed before user adoption was established. Folio3 addresses all three. Every project begins with a paid discovery phase that produces a detailed scope document before any configuration work starts. Industry-specific configuration is applied from day one. And every engagement includes structured user acceptance testing and training before any cutover decision is made. Folio3 also runs a dedicated troubled implementation practice for organizations that need to rescue an implementation already in progress.

Folio3's support model covers both technical and functional support: break-fix resolution, configuration changes as business requirements evolve, Microsoft update testing and management, user training for new hires or new functionality, and advisory services for operational questions that require Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management expertise. Support is available on both reactive and proactive models depending on your team's internal capability.

Folio3 deploys Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management for discrete manufacturers, process manufacturers, food and beverage producers, pharmaceutical companies, wholesale distributors, third-party logistics providers, and industrial equipment organizations. Industry-specific configuration is applied in every engagement rather than adapting a generic implementation after go-live.

Third-party integrations are handled through Folio3's proprietary Burq iPaaS platform rather than custom middleware. The practical difference: custom middleware breaks when either system updates and accumulates maintenance cost over the life of the system. Burq iPaaS maintains connections independently of individual system updates. Folio3 has pre-built connectors for major e-commerce platforms, marketplaces, EDI providers, and logistics systems, with custom connector development available for any system not already covered.
