Manual spreadsheets and reactive decisions cannot keep up with the pace of today's supply chains. Businesses need fast, clear insights from real-time data. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and AI tools like Microsoft Copilot make it possible to bring true intelligence to supply chain operations.
However, AI can only deliver results if the data is clean, accurate, and well-structured. This is where many businesses struggle.
The Challenge: Data Without Structure
Many companies have moved to the cloud, but their supply chain data is still disconnected and difficult to use:
- Freight and duty charges are entered manually, often late and with errors
- Cost variances go unnoticed until month-end
- Shipment tracking is limited, and finance and logistics teams work in silos
AI tools like Copilot can't generate insights if data isn't properly organized. These issues can create delays, raise costs, and make it harder to respond to change.
What Cloud and AI Can Do
With tools like Microsoft Copilot, users can ask natural language questions such as:
- "What's our average landed cost by product category over the past six months?
- "Which containers are in transit and at risk of delay?"
- "Which vendors show the highest freight cost discrepancies?"
Copilot depends on well-prepared data to answer effectively. This is where WebSan's Supply Chain apps come in.
