Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central gives midsized manufacturers financial management, sales, customer service, resource management, sales and marketing, supply chain management, warehouse and project management, collaboration and workflow automation tools. As you grow, you can employ technologies such as machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) to create operational efficiencies."



How did Forbes come to this conclusion?

"In evaluating providers for this best-of-manufacturing ERP systems list, we looked for systems that offer user-friendly features, core and expandable features and functionality, accommodations for specialty manufacturers, cost options for every budget and accessible customer support. Below is a closer look at each of these evaluation criteria:

Ease of Use
We looked for providers that offer options that lend to ease of use, such as a cloud-based software option and easy scalability and updating processes.

Features and Functionality
We looked for manufacturing ERP systems that have core functionality most manufacturing companies need, such as finance, warehouse, manufacturing, inventory, supply chain and distribution management modules. We also looked for providers that offer the ability to extend the software beyond its core functionality by, for example, adding sales, e-commerce, service or CRM modules.

Specializations
We selected providers that accommodate unique manufacturing specializations, such as those that require high regulation compliance, including medical device, pharmaceutical and food manufacturers.

Cost and Fees
We included manufacturing ERPs with pricing modules to accommodate different budgeting needs, such as those that offer both an on-premises and a cloud-based platform with different upfront and per-user fees as well as providers with plans for small-, midsized- and enterprise-level manufacturers. We preferred those that offer public pricing transparency.

Customer Support
We listed providers that offer customer support at minimum during normal business hours. We also preferred those that offer extended support hours, support options via various mediums (such as email, chat and phone) and dedicated account managers."
