Why process manufacturers need an advanced ERP solution

Dynamics 365 Business Central perfect match for more advanced business

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central offers powerful tools tailored to the needs of process industries, enabling businesses to enhance efficiency, maintain regulatory compliance, and optimize production.

Batch traceability for better control

Batch tracking is essential in process manufacturing to ensure product quality, consistency, and compliance. Many generic ERP systems lack comprehensive batch traceability, making it difficult for manufacturers to track raw materials, monitor production processes, and ensure accountability.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central provides full batch tracking, helping businesses:

• Monitor raw materials and finished products at every stage of production
• Ensure compliance with industry regulations such as FDA, GMP, and ISO standards
• Reduce waste and improve product consistency through better inventory control

With real-time batch tracking, manufacturers can proactively address quality issues and improve supply chain efficiency.

Seamless compliance management

Navigating industry regulations such as GMP, FDA, and ISO standards can be overwhelming without the right tools. Standard ERP systems often require manual workarounds, increasing the risk of errors and non-compliance.

Microsoft’s ERP solutions simplify compliance management by:

• Automating regulatory workflows to meet strict industry requirements
• Providing built-in quality control tools to track production data effortlessly
• Generating audit-ready reports to streamline documentation and reduce compliance risks

By integrating compliance features directly into daily operations, businesses can focus on production and growth rather than regulatory concerns.

Formula management for precision and efficiency

Process manufacturing relies on precise ingredient ratios and optimized formulas to produce consistent, high-quality products. Standard ERP systems lack the specialized tools needed for formula-based production, leading to inefficiencies and errors.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central enhances formula management by:

• Providing real-time adjustments for ingredient ratios
• Automating production calculations to maintain consistency
• Reducing manual errors and improving quality control

With formula optimization, manufacturers can reduce waste, improve efficiency, and ensure product consistency across every batch.
