Benefits
Whether you run discrete or process manufacturing, Dynamics 365 brings your entire operation into one connected system.
| Plan production from live scheduling and capacity data, so you can forecast instead of react
Bottlenecks and slowdowns stall lines and drain time, money, and trust. The right solution removes inefficiencies, speeds workflows, and keeps operations moving without costly interruptions.
|
| Handle rising order volume without adding headcount or manual workarounds
When systems can’t keep up, you miss opportunities and fall behind competitors. Scale confidently to manage rising demand without chaos, costly mistakes, or disruption.
|
| Stay ahead of tariff and supply chain swings with real-time visibility into raw materials, WIP, and finished goods across every plant
Make smarter, faster decisions with real-time oversight across your supply chain. Built-in MRP tools manage materials, timelines, and costs with greater precision.
|
| Catch quality issues at the production stage, not the customer return stage
Even small defects can trigger returns, warranty claims, and damaged relationships. Prioritize quality to reduce costly mistakes and strengthen satisfaction and loyalty.
|
| Hit delivery commitments with ATP calculations that pull from live inventory data
Missed deliveries aren’t just delays—they’re broken promises. Accurate planning and scheduling help you meet commitments and protect customer loyalty.
|
| Build the clean, connected data foundation AI needs, with costing that reflects what happened on the floor
Outdated or inaccurate data leads to slow responses and wrong turns. Real-time insights and accurate reporting enable confident decisions and help you stay ahead of market shifts.

Every manufacturing operation runs differently, so ERP costs are not one-size-fits-all. This self-guided estimate gives you a practical cost range based on your production needs, user count, plant locations, and growth plans.
Why Us
We Know Manufacturing Before the First Call
Start with a conversation, not a sales pitch. Our experts work to understand your business processes, challenges, and goals — so you can get a solution that fits your needs.
Transparent and predictable pricing
Know what it will cost to start and as you grow. Dynamics 365 is priced per user, with no hidden consumption or transaction fees. That means no surprise costs at renewal time.
One Partner for the Full Microsoft Stack
Dynamics 365 connects directly with Microsoft 365, Teams, Power BI, and Power Platform. Western Computer supports all of it: ERP, CRM, Microsoft 365, and managed IT support. That gives you one connected system instead of separate tools that never quite agree.

Complex BOMs. Production scheduling. Capacity constraints. Costing accuracy.
Before starting a Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain implementation, our Assessment helps manufacturers validate scope, surface shop-floor realities, and confirm what “good” looks like, so your ERP is designed around how you actually run. Plus, you leave with a clear, portable blueprint, whether you implement with us or not.
Engineer the Right System Before You Build It.
In this 4 day assessment, we uncover the risks that derail manufacturing projects:
Over-customization of production processes
Inaccurate BOM and item master data
MRP misalignment and capacity blind spots
Projects that overwhelm operations teams
What You’ll Receive:
High-Level Fit-Gap Analysis (Standard vs. ISV vs. Custom)
Data Health Scorecard for items, BOMs, routing & costing
Phased Implementation Roadmap aligned to plant capacity
Realistic Budget Estimate
Governance Framework tied to operational KPIs
If you move forward with Western Computer for a Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management implementation within 30 days of your final assessment presentation, 50% of your assessment fee will be credited toward your implementation.
For example, on a $30,000 assessment, that's a $15,000 credit.

Mid-market and enterprise manufacturers most commonly run Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management for complex, multi-plant operations or Dynamics 365 Business Central for smaller discrete and process manufacturers. The right platform depends on plant complexity, BOM depth, capacity planning needs, and multi-entity financial requirements.
Dynamics 365 connects production planning, inventory, procurement, quality control, shop floor operations, and financial reporting in a single system. Manufacturers use it to reduce lead times, improve on-time delivery, manage complex BOMs, automate MRP, and produce accurate costing data without relying on spreadsheets or disconnected legacy systems.
Business Central suits discrete and light process manufacturers with straightforward production orders, BOMs, and routing. Finance and Supply Chain Management handles manufacturers with advanced MRP, capacity planning, multi-site production, complex costing methods, and global operations. Western Computer implements both and helps manufacturers determine which platform fits their operation during an ERP assessment.
Most manufacturing ERP implementations run between six and eighteen months depending on plant complexity, number of facilities, BOM depth, and integration requirements. Discrete manufacturers with clean data and limited customization typically land in the six-to-nine month range. Process and mixed-mode manufacturers with advanced costing or multi-plant requirements typically take twelve months or more.
Dynamics 365 Business Central licensing starts at $80 per user per month. Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management starts at $180 per user per month. Implementation costs for manufacturing projects typically range from $100,000 to $750,000+ depending on plant complexity, number of integrations, and user count.
