Manufacturing companies across the board face mounting pressure to streamline processes and increase production while cutting costs. Outside of those typical pressures, chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturers have to consider lot traceability, advanced inventory management, and compliance with FDA regulations. These added stressors require batch manufacturers to look beyond what a basic ERP or MRP solution can provide.

Dynamics 365 Business Central, paired with Yaveon ProBatch, is a modern-day solution that streamlines the unique batch manufacturing process from sales and customer service all the way through production, inventory, distribution, and beyond.

With Business Central, batch manufacturers can remain competitive, reach business goals, and remain in compliance.

The Power of the Cloud

Hosed in the Microsoft Azure cloud, Dynamics 365 lives in the cloud and can be accessed anytime, anywhere. All security monitoring and threat management are completed by Microsoft, so you can rest assured that your information is protected around the clock.

Consumer demand is in constant fluctuation and with a cloud-based solution, you can better adapt to those changes by scaling up or down at any time with no long-term commitments.

End-to-End Solution

With a solution that connects every department across your organization, every team member will have access to the information they need to perform their job functions and advance the business. Dynamics 365 also integrates with countless apps, providing you the exact functionality you need to manage your complex and unique business processes.

Functionality for Batch Manufacturers

While Dynamics 365 Business Central provides core finance, service, and operations functionality, the direct integration to Yaveon ProBatch includes the features batch manufacturers rely on.

1. Recipe Management

From research and development to material requirements, work steps, and version control, you’ll have full control over your recipe management process.

Many could argue that compliance is the most important consideration for batch manufacturers. Thanks to Dynamics 365, you can easily trace lots, validate lot attributes, collect electronic signatures, and access historical data for any lot.

4. Planning and Manufacturing

Along with core manufacturing functionality and principles, this solution includes features specific for batch manufacturers including label management, decanting, hazardous substance management, returnable container management, MRP and CRP, subcontractor visibility, and shop floor data capture. Additionally, the scale component allows you to accurately measure and perfect all recipes.
