Mid-market cloud ERP licensed by resource consumption rather than per named user, which makes it attractive where many occasional users need access. Sold through a partner channel.
Working out what will be needed and getting it there: demand forecasts, replenishment planning across sites, supplier schedules, and the freight and duty that arrive with the goods. Distinct from procurement, which executes the buying this module decides on.
Stackmark rates Dynamics 365 Business Central’s supply chain management as core: built and sold by the vendor as part of the suite.
The tier is read from the vendor’s own documentation, cited below, and says how the module is delivered, not how well it works for a given company. That is what the demonstration questions are for.
What does the demand forecast run on (history, seasonality, promotions, a planner's override), and can we see why it proposed a given number?
Can replenishment plan across several sites at once and move stock between them rather than buying again?
How is landed cost (freight, duty, insurance) apportioned onto item cost, and at what point in the receipt?
Can suppliers see and confirm delivery schedules in a portal, or does that stay in email?
Other profiled systems whose records rate supply chain management as core. Alphabetical; a listing is a documented fact, not a recommendation.
