Microsoft has introduced Warehouse Management Only Mode, giving anyone who wants to manage their warehouses using Microsoft solutions the ability to use the features of MS WMS without having to purchase the entire MS D365 Supply Chain Management, and be able to continue to work in their existing ERP.
Great news - we applaud! What's the best part?
- Although we are big fans of Microsoft solutions, we fully understand that not always and not everyone wants to operate 100% in the Microsoft ecosystem. Sometimes you can use just one of the applications - for example, the functionality of the Warehouse Management System.
- You will save money because you will not have to change and purchase the entire ERP. You can continue to use your existing system that you and your employees are used to and implement Warehouse Management Only Mode.
- The new "shortcut" allows for a very fast deployment. Fast-forward to advanced WMS features such as integration with carriers, integration with automation tools, mobile apps for warehouse management, etc.
Warehouse Management Only Mode separates warehouse management functions from ERP
Retailers and manufacturing businesses will benefit from the news, especially those who need to tame warehouses, but otherwise have processes already solved by their own IT solutionsthat they don't want to change.
And if you're not yet sure that WarehouseManagementSystem is the right one for managing your warehouse, here's a quick summary of the key benefits of this fine-tuned Microsoft solution:
Perfect integration, fast access from anywhere and high security
WMS combines the best of the cloud with a high level of security. It gives you the ability to keep a perfect overview of your inventory, track shipments, enter tasks and match invoices, wherever you are and whatever device you're working on. You will always have at your disposal the most up-to-date data and you will be able to prevent any problems.
More accurate inventories
Given what has been said above, the inventories will also go like clockwork. The necessary (and up-to-date!) data is at the disposal of the entire team, who can then work together more effectively.
Automation to reduce costs
Automate - that's the advice that just about everyone will give you in the modern business environment. The more warehouse operations you can automate, the higher the productivity and speed of your processes and the more you save. Logic. Warehouse Management Systems enable integration with automation systems.
Is it time to upgrade to WMS?
You may be thinking that there's still plenty of time to upgrade your warehouse processes. But modern business can't wait. Ask yourself if you know:
- where each specific item is located in your warehouse?
- how long do you keep specific goods/stock in stock?
- are there stocks in your warehouses that have been there so long that you don't even know about them anymore?
... and the most important question is: How quickly can you find accurate and timely answers to these questions? Maybe it's not yet digitisation of warehouse management so soon, what do you say?
Reduce costs, avoid waste and increase profitability
The standalone D365 WMS module opens up a path to reduce costs and waste and increase sales and profitability. The biggest advantage of this Microsoft innovation is undoubtedly that you can quickly implement and integrate the WMS module, whatever ERP system you use.
