Whitepaper | 2 Unified ERP and CRM System
Simplify your retail operation to maximize growth
Your ERP and CRM systems capture all your valuable data. But they function as separate entities — like side- by-side silos..Imagine merging these two data storage units — you would have an efficient system, allowing you to:
• Streamline operations across your entire business
• Unlock lucrative client preferences
• Improve operational efficiency
• Increase profitability
• Boost growth
The flexibility and affordability of the Microsoft Dynamics 365 unified ERP/ CRM database enables you to achieve your business goals and get the results you want for your operation, whatever it is.
Start with cloud-based capabilities. Dynamics 365’s combined ERP and CRM cloud-based functions puts you in control of your most valuable information, such as:
• Store operations
• POS systems
• Payment processing
• Promotions
• E-commerce
• Product sourcing
• Sales audits
This information allows you to create consistent messaging and client experiences across all channels and functions for your business: in-store, online, via mobile device, as well as for email campaigns, social engagement and loyalty programs.
Best of all, Microsoft Dynamics 365 provides advanced business intelligence resources and in-depth CRM analytical tools. It also puts you in control of your financial, inventory and warehouse management.
Why Dynamics 365 works for retail
Your business applications may range from sophisticated marketing campaign data to back office number-crunching. But with Dynamics 365, you get a one-stop, unified ERP and CRM solution.
That means greater control over all your data, such as:
• Omni-channel capability — maximize your strategies, images and client experience across any channel.
• Tier 1 supply chain — capitalize on data resources to enhance client service and delivery speed.
• Global reach and resources — manage your entire global supply chain and connections with streamlined, cloud-based data access.
• Problem solving — save time and money managing day-to-day operations with valuable resources for taking action.
