Inventory Management
Microsoft Dynamics helps you define profit margins and set prices accordingly. With one solution, you can drill down on pricing details, manage inventory and stock levels, and keep abreast of customer needs. Your organization can identify and maintain successful pricing strategies, and leverage management alerts.

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
Powerful data transformation tools mean extensive EDI functionality. EDI allows you to communicate and connect directly with your trading partners and customers across the globe. It modernizes your supply chain, streamlines operations, boosts data accuracy and security, and gives you real-time insights into your processes. These capabilities make EDI vital for distributors wanting to remain competitive in a fast-paced environment. You can access all EDI benefits without extensive customizations to Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Distribution.
