Dynamics 365 SCM with WMS Optimizes Operations at Hoyer
“Dynamics 365 helps strengthen the value propositions on which we build our business. We want to be even more solution-oriented, flexible, and faster in responding to customers. Speed across our processes and operations is a crucial parameter.”
Henrik Sørensen, CEO, Hoyer
Best-of-Suite vs. Best-of-Breed WMS? You no longer have to choose
Historically, companies needing advanced warehouse management have had to decide between a best-of-breed WMS or a simpler ERP-anchored solution (best-of-suite).
That trade-off is now obsolete. With its latest capabilities, Microsoft’s WMS in Dynamics 365 is fully comparable to leading specialized systems like Manhattan and Blue Yonder. According to Gartner, the D365 WMS ranks at the same level as top-tier WMS vendors and matches the functionality available in SAP and Oracle.
Gartner WMS Market Review.
This makes D365 not just the natural choice if you plan to implement the full SCM suite – but also one of the strongest stand-alone WMS solutions available today.
What to consider when choosing a WMS
First and foremost, you should assess whether the WMS solution supports your core warehouse and distribution processes. Then, consider whether it aligns with your growth plans and future needs.
A WMS is a long-term investment. Make sure your system is flexible and scalable enough to support your business as it evolves.
Always weigh the cost of a WMS against the value it delivers – today and in the future.
We’ll gladly help you navigate your options and show you the benefits of a fully integrated WMS in your Dynamics 365 project.
