RSM’s D365 Dairy Management Solution
RSM’s Dynamics 365 Dairy Management solution allows you to manage all aspects of your business in one system. From contract to payment, from quality-controlled receipt to inventory update and tank management, this accelerator leverages base functionality and configurations like product formulas and batch attributes to calculate producer payments based on component potencies.
Microsoft accelerators for dairy
Built based upon the standard inventory transaction set, this accelerator brings a versatile and easy to use framework for tracing transactions forward or backwards. Through an easy-to-use wizard a trace can be created and its output can be stored for providing compliant data for recalls.
Often our clients have a 3rd party label application in place. This accelerator allows for a dynamic configuration of label documents to be connected to an in-place label application.
RSM’s Advanced trade promotions management accelerator enhances existing capabilities of Dynamics 365 in a variety of areas: Indirect bill backs extend bill backs to address distributor, wholesaler and retailer relationships. Enhanced demand forecasts allow bidirectional communication with the existing item forecast framework to accommodate expected responses to marketing initiatives. Fund distribution and reporting generation provide ease of use, flexibility and visibility to fund utilization at different states of the process.
