Want to see Business Central in action and find out if it’s right for you? Book a demo and in just 15 minutes, you’ll come away having either ruled it out or ready to move on to a discovery session with a Microsoft expert.
Time is money for retail businesses – customers want a rapid sales process and order turnaround, and that means that you’ll need processes in place that allow you to make profitable decisions and make them fast. With Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, you’ll always have access to the most current, accurate data to make the most informed decisions at any given time.
Cost accounting on Microsoft Dynamics will help you understand the costs of your running your retail business. You’ll be able to easily analyse the types of costs incurred in the running of your company, where the costs occur and who bears the costs. You can easily allocate actual and budgeted costs of operations, departments, products, and projects to analyse profitability.
If you manage multiple companies, whether a group structure or shared ownership, they can be managed in a single system with the ability to post intercompany transactions automatically. In addition, consolidation of final accounts can be performed across companies with different charts of accounts, fiscal years or currencies, or just partial amounts of information.
You can easily reserve items for sales on purchase orders. You can reserve items in inventory or inbound goods yet to arrive. Access a Reservation directly when processing customer orders in just a few clicks and view details of how many items are available to be reserved from each type of line or entry. Delight customers with consistency, reliability and a positive customer experience.
A simple process for quick returns. If a customer wants to return items or be reimbursed for items or services that you have sold and received payment for, you can create and post a sales credit memo that specifies the requested change. To action, you can create the sales credit memo directly from the posted sales invoice. Plus, use exact cost reversing to preserve correct inventory valuation.
You can use analysis reports to create customised reports based on records of your posted transactions, for example, sales, purchases, transfers and inventory adjustments. In a customisable report, the source data, which is derived from the item ledger (with associated value entries), can be combined, compared and presented in meaningful user-defined ways.
Analysing data by dimensions gives you greater insight into your business, so you can better evaluate how well your business is operating and where more resources may need to be allocated. A dimension acts as marker and can be used to group entries with similar characteristics e.g., customers or regions, so you can retrieve groups for analysis.
An integrated CRM that allows you to store all your customer data within, so you can gain a full view of all interactions. Data is readily available to customer service teams as well as sales. With full visibility, your teams can better understand customer requirements and resolve any requests, queries or issues a customer might have, as soon as possible.
You need the documents you send to customers to reflect your business needs, especially transactional ones such as shipments paperwork or invoices. Business Central includes built-in layouts designed for specific outputs and you can use Word to easily modify them, as well as configure email templates to use when distributing externally.
