Here are some points that show how QuickBooks to Business Central migration helps Distributors

Get Real-Time Data with Business Central

There is a huge amount of data related to inventory generated by Distributors like total stock available, demand from sales, expected receipts from vendors, and the cost.

• Manually entry of data into the system or transferred through the manual way. As QuickBooks and Excel do not communicate with other systems in your business. All this lack of communication can cause delays and inaccurate inventory data.

With Business Central, all your data is centralized, available to be shared across various departments and locations, easily and automatically. Your inventory data is consolidated in a single solution with no effort on your part. In addition, it eliminates manual exports and imports while ensuring data accuracy and integrity. It shows that more data that is accurate leads to proper analytics, so you can see real pictures of your inventory and costs.

Track and Trace Inventory across Multiple Warehouse Locations

QuickBooks inventory system is not equipped to keep track of serialized or lot-controlled inventory, nor is it capable of communicating among your different warehouses or entities. Whereas, Business Central includes powerful inventory management capabilities and an in-built warehouse management system (WMS). With this, you can easily track transfers of inventory across warehouses, see all orders at a glance, route orders to the correct facilities, and monitor inventory counts at every location.

QuickBooks to Dynamics 365 Business Central migration is more than just improving the way you manage inventory or accounting processes. It is about connecting and streamlining multiple processes in your business to give you better visibility into your warehouse operations.
