Business Central vs Finance & Supply Chain Management for Manufacturers: How to Choose the Right Dynamics 365 ERP
Thursday, February 12th, 2026 at 11 am PT

If you’re a manufacturer evaluating Microsoft Dynamics 365, the “right” ERP depends on operational complexity, not just headcount or revenue. In this webinar, we’ll break down when Business Central is the best fit, when Finance & Supply Chain Management (F&SCM) is the better match, and how to confidently determine next steps.
Manufacturers don’t pick an ERP to get a nicer general ledger. They pick it to run a more predictable operation: improve throughput, hit delivery dates, scale without chaos, reduce defects, and make better decisions with better data. Our webinar is designed to help discrete and process manufacturers cut through confusion, align internal stakeholders (Operations, Finance, IT), and leave with a decision framework you can actually use.
Join us Thursday, February 12th, 2026 at 11 am PT, to learn the key considerations that typically drive the BC vs F&SCM decision, including:
- Industry capabilities: when manufacturing complexity pushes you toward one platform vs the other
- Multi-entity / multi-company requirements and operational realities across plants/sites
- Global operations considerations (where applicable)
- CRM availability and ecosystem implications (when it matters, and when it’s a distraction)
- Implementation timeline & ease: what to expect, how to reduce risk, and how to avoid overbuilding
