9A Smart Insights for Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management

As a manager in the supply chain, you deal with procurement, planning, production, inventory and delivery.

Being able to quickly adjust based on reliable data is essential for optimizing processes and profit margins.

9A Smart Insights offers you essential data insights from Dynamics 365 SCM, enabling you to make well-informed decisions.

Save time, focus on what matters

The information required for your reports is often dispersed across the organization, making it challenging to gather all necessary details solely from Dynamics 365 SCM.

Leverage the capability of 9A Smart Insights to seamlessly integrate with additional Dynamics 365 components and various data sources, ensuring you have a complete overview at your disposal.

While data is crucial, it's just as important to have an intuitive tool that simplifies access without the need for coding expertise or IT support, and preferably minimizes the time needed for operation.

9A Smart Insights streamlines the process by consolidating data from Dynamics and other platforms for easy visualization in Power BI, saving you valuable time and enabling you to focus on what truly matters: making well-informed decisions with precise data.
