Microsoft Dynamics 365 offers a suite of ERP and CRM applications suitable for businesses of all sizes.

Dynamics 365 vs. Food-Industry-Specific Solutions
You might wonder why you should use a Dynamics 365 ERP when you can use food and beverage software created specifically for the food and beverage industry. Food and beverage industry–specific software systems cover niche industry needs but struggle with traditional business operations like financials and warehouse management.
Here are seven advantages of all-inclusive software like Microsoft Dynamics 365 for food and beverage manufacturing:
Cloud hosting
Dynamics 365 ERP solutions are hosted on Microsoft’s Azure cloud, which means you’re not dealing with multiple vendors—one for the software and another for your cloud infrastructure.
Security
With Dynamics 365, you automatically benefit from Microsoft’s extensive ongoing investments in cybersecurity, ensuring that your data stays safe.
Backup and Recovery
Your Dynamics 365 ERP solution benefits from Microsoft’s massive investment in its Azure cloud infrastructure, keeping your data safe in the event of hardware failures, sudden power outages, or natural disasters.
CRM Integration
If you need a CRM solution, there’s no need to look to another vendor. Simply combine your Dynamics 365 ERP with a Dynamics 365 CRM system.
Microsoft 365 Integration
Dynamics 365 integrates seamlessly with familiar Office products—ones you’re probably already using, like Outlook, Excel, and PowerPoint.
Microsoft Power Platform integration
Use Power Platform apps like Power Automate and Power BI to automate business processes or turn your data into game-changing business insights.
Independent software vendor (ISV) extensions
There are thousands of additional vetted applications available on Microsoft AppSource that are built for Microsoft Dynamics 365. If your food and beverage manufacturing operation needs industry-specific features that aren’t already included in Dynamics 365, you can incorporate an ISV application that meets your needs and integrates perfectly with Dynamics 365.
Why a New Food and Beverage ERP Is a Better Investment Than a New Piece of Machinery
An ERP provides far more benefits than a new piece of equipment. Accurate, instantly accessible information is foundational to the future of your business. Modern software captures data on your shop and warehouse floors and makes it immediately available in your offices—without any need for manual data entry. This allows you to grow without adding staff, make quicker decisions, and trust the numbers you’re basing your business decisions on.
Additional benefits of an ERP include:
- Improved inventory control: Real-time data helps you identify and manage shrinkage and waste.
- Attract and retain better talent: The most qualified job seekers want to work with modern, innovative organizations.
- Provide better customer service: Respond to customer needs and requests with instantaneous and accurate information.
Our expert team will work with you to understand your business and create a food and beverage ERP tailored to your needs.
