When the plan and the floor disagree, the floor is right.
AIM implements and runs supply chain and manufacturing on Dynamics 365 and SAP S/4HANA: procurement, inventory, planning, production and warehousing on one data model, so the numbers planners work from are the numbers the warehouse and the plant are living with.
Your inventory is a financial number and an operational one, and they do not match.
Supply chain teams run on the gap between systems. The ERP says what should be on the shelf, the warehouse knows what is, and the planners work from a third version exported the night before. Safety stock is set by habit. Lead times in the system are the ones the supplier quoted years ago. Every disruption is handled by the same few people on the phone, because the system cannot tell them what the disruption affects.
The cost shows up twice: in working capital tied up in stock nobody needed, and in revenue lost to stock nobody had. Better planning software does not fix it on its own. Accurate master data, a warehouse process the system actually reflects, and planning parameters someone owns do.
From procurement to the loading dock.
Implement
Procurement and sourcing, inventory and warehouse management, production control, master planning and product information, designed around how your plants and distribution centres actually operate.
Optimize
Master data clean-up, planning parameter review, warehouse process alignment, and inventory reporting that finance and operations agree on.
Extend
Supply chain data in Microsoft Fabric joined with demand, supplier and logistics data, integration with carriers, suppliers and shop-floor systems, and custom mobile and warehouse applications on Power Platform.
Support
Support aligned to how the operation runs, with release management planned around production calendars and peak seasons.
Where AI changes the work in supply chain.
Plain-language questions about stock, open orders and supplier performance answered from governed data
Purchase order changes and supplier confirmations summarized and flagged for a buyer
Demand signals from sales and customer data brought into the planning conversation
Exceptions surfaced for a planner to act on, rather than found in a weekly report
Dynamics 365 or SAP S/4HANA.
Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management
Supply chain and manufacturing implementation, optimization and support on Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.
SAP S/4HANA
Supply chain and manufacturing processes in S/4HANA implementation and ECC migration programs, and S/4HANA supply chain data brought into Microsoft Fabric for planning analytics and AI.
Signs the plan and the floor have drifted apart.
- Planners work from exports rather than the system
- Inventory counts and system balances disagree often enough that nobody is surprised
- Lead times and safety stock have not been reviewed since go-live
- A supplier disruption takes days to trace to the orders it affects
- Warehouse staff have paper or spreadsheet steps the system does not know about
A low-risk first step.
