Dynamics 365: Drop Shipments & Field Service

Dynamics 365 drop shipments and field service

More than any other industry, firms engaged in Field Service deal with drop shipments almost every day. Direct shipments to customer sites are a common practice for these firms.

So what’s the problem?

The problem is that this is a functionality gap in most vertically focused ERP systems. Causing problems with:

  • Inventory Reconciliation
  • Inventory Cycle Counts
  • Procurement Forecasting
  • Demand Planning
  • Inventory Receipts

While most firms involved with Field Service have developed manual ‘work-arounds’ for this, the ongoing costs of the time used to execute these manual processes can overwhelm as a business grows.

Is there an ERP system out there that has drop shipments for the Field built in? Of course there is!

Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Operations and Finance and Operations (previously known as Microsoft Dynamics AX) has it out-of-the-box, along with a world class Field Service system that operates on any device, anywhere, anytime.
