How is Dynamics 365 used in logistics and distribution?

Distributors and logistics firms use Dynamics 365 to manage inventory, warehousing, purchasing, sales orders, and finance in one system. Business Central suits small to mid-size distributors, while Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management handles complex, high-volume, multi-warehouse operations, with Power Platform and Field Service connecting the rest.
