Use Warehouse Management Only Mode even with your existing ERP

Microsoft has introduced the Warehouse Management Only Mode, giving businesses the ability to leverage Microsoft WMS features without implementing the full MS D365 Supply Chain Management suite—allowing you to continue using your existing ERP system.

Great news – and we applaud it! What makes it so exciting?

• While we’re big fans of Microsoft solutions, we completely understand that not everyone wants or needs to run entirely within the Microsoft ecosystem. Sometimes, all you need are selected capabilities—like the advanced Warehouse Management System features.
• You’ll save money because you won’t need to replace your entire ERP system. You can keep using your existing solution—familiar to you and your team—and simply implement the Warehouse Management Only Mode.
• This new “shortcut” allows for rapid deployment. You can start using advanced WMS functionalities in no time, such as carrier integrations, automation tool connections, and mobile warehouse management apps.

Warehouse Management Only Mode separates warehouse control from ERP

This innovation is especially valuable for retailers and manufacturers who need to streamline warehouse operations but already have established IT systems they don’t want to replace.

And if you’re still unsure whether a Warehouse Management System is the right fit for your warehouse, here’s a quick summary of the key benefits of this powerful Microsoft solution:

Seamless integration, real-time access, and strong security

The WMS combines the best of the cloud with high-level security. It gives you full visibility into inventory, shipment tracking, task management, and invoice matching—anytime, anywhere, from any device. You’ll always have access to the most up-to-date data, enabling you to proactively prevent issues before they arise.

More accurate inventory management

With real-time data access, inventory checks become effortless. Your entire team can collaborate efficiently with shared, accurate, and current information.

Automation that reduces costs

Automation is the name of the game in modern business. The more warehouse operations you automate, the higher your productivity and process speed—and the more you save. Logically. Warehouse Management Systems integrate seamlessly with automation technologies.

Is it time to upgrade to WMS?

You might think it’s too early to upgrade your warehouse processes—but modern business waits for no one. Ask yourself:

• Do you know exactly where every item is located in your warehouse?
• Do you know how long specific goods have been in stock?
• Are there items sitting in your warehouse so long that no one remembers they’re there?

…and the most important question: How quickly can you find accurate, up-to-date answers to these questions? Maybe it’s not too early to start digitizing your warehouse management after all.

Reduce costs, eliminate waste, and boost profitability

The standalone D365 WMS module opens the door to cost savings, waste reduction, and higher profitability. Its biggest advantage is undoubtedly the ability to implement and integrate quickly—no matter which ERP system you use.

This solution is highly flexible. You can configure functions and systems that best fit your business needs. There are many scenarios: you can use the standalone Warehouse Management Only Mode, combine it with D365 Supply Chain Management as your ERP, or start with Warehouse Management Only Mode and later expand. The flexibility and scalability of this innovation are what we love most.
