How Copilot for Business Central Helps Wholesale Distributors
You just received a rush order from a major client. They need a large shipment, fast. You check your system only to find out you’re out of stock. Even worse, your supplier lead times have increased, and your sales team wasn’t aware. Now, you’re scrambling to find a solution, risking a missed deadline and an unhappy customer.
This is a daily struggle for many wholesale distributors. Between unpredictable demand, rising costs, and complex supply chains, staying ahead isn’t easy. Without the right ERP system, inefficiencies pile up, errors become costly, and customer satisfaction takes a hit.
That’s where Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and Microsoft Copilot for Business Central can help – taking control of inventory, streamlining orders, and keeping costs in check with automation and AI insights.
Here’s how wholesale distributors are using Business Central and Copilot to stay competitive and profitable. And how your business can too.
Managing Inventory Without Guesswork
Running out of stock frustrates customers while overstocking ties up cash. Both hurt your bottom line. The biggest issue many distributors face is lack of visibility. They struggle to track inventory across multiple locations, making it hard to forecast demand accurately.
Business Central fixes this with real-time inventory tracking:
- See stock levels instantly across warehouses
- Automate reordering to avoid stockouts and excess inventory
- Forecast demand based on real sales data and intelligent AI insights
✔ What this means for you: Fewer stock issues, better cash flow, and happier customers who always get what they need.
Faster, More Accurate Order Processing
Customers expect fast and error-free order fulfillment. But when orders are complex and systems aren’t integrated, mistakes happen. This leads to delays, incorrect shipments, and frustrated buyers.
Business Central automates and streamlines order processing so you can:
- Reduce errors with integrated sales and inventory management
- Speed up fulfillment by automating key steps
- Keep customers happy with faster, more reliable service
✔ What this means for you: No more bottlenecks. Orders move quickly, and customers stay loyal.
Controlling Costs Without Cutting Corners
Tight margins mean every dollar counts. But without real-time insight into expenses, many distributors struggle to:
- Track operating costs across warehouses, transportation, and labor
- Identify areas for savings
- Keep profitability on target
Business Central gives you detailed visibility into your costs so you can:
- Pinpoint waste and inefficiencies
- Optimize labor and resource allocation
- Make data-driven decisions to increase profitability
✔ What this means for you: Lower costs without sacrificing service quality.
