The Dynamics 365 Copilot
With the next era of business management turning to AI, why wouldn’t Microsoft combine CRM and ERP for the world’s first, next generation copilot? Say goodbye to repetitive tasks. Dynamics Copilot 365 is here to help you with sales, service, marketing, operations and supply chain roles.
CRM Meets ERP
Customer relationship management, or CRM, is a technology developed to help you manage your company’s relationships and interactions with customers and potential customers. When you improve your business relationships your business grows. With a CRM you stay connected to your customers and are able to streamline processes in order to improve your profit margin.
Enterprise resource planning, or ERP, is a platform you can utilize to manage and integrate the essential parts of your business. ERP software can help you integrate all of the processes needed to run your company in a single system to help you implement resource planning. Integrate the two together and you’ve got some powerful business software powered by AI technology to help you improve your supply chain.
Dynamics 365 Copilot is Born
Dynamics Copilot 365 was designed to be used with Microsoft’s Supply Chain Center to further track potential risks. The AI algorithm sends alerts to supply chain managers to better make sense of massive amounts of data and avoid potential disruptions. Once risks are assessed, the AI can send suppliers a message to check on potential disruptions or impact on purchase orders.
7 Ways Dynamics 365 Improves Supply Chain Management
Microsoft has recently strengthened its business portfolio by utilizing AI algorithms to better manage your supply chain. According to Microsoft:
- Copilot in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales and Viva Sales helps sellers dramatically reduce the time they spend on clerical tasks. AI helps write email responses to customers and can even create an email summary of a Teams meeting in Outlook. The meeting summary pulls in details from the seller’s CRM such as product and pricing information, as well as insights from the recorded Teams call.
- Microsoft is also making it easier for customer service departments to build virtual agents in minutes with conversation boosters in Power Virtual Agents, which harnesses the power of Azure OpenAI Service and Bing to provide answers from company websites and internal knowledge bases that you choose.
- Copilot in Dynamics 365 Customer Insights and Dynamics 365 Marketing empowers marketers to simplify their workflow in data exploration, audience segmentation and content creation.
- With Copilot in Dynamics 365 Customer Insights, marketers can curate highly personalized and targeted customer segments by having a dialogue with their customer data platform using natural language. This new capability can handle complex calculations and match customers that fit a select profile.
- Using Copilot in Dynamics 365 Marketing, marketers can describe their customer segment in their own words to create a target segment with the query assist feature.
- Copilot in Dynamics 365 Business Central streamlines the creation of product listings for online commerce. Product attributes such as color, material and size can be used to create compelling product descriptions for online storefronts in seconds. The descriptions can be further tailored by choosing tone of voice, format and length.
- Lastly, Copilot in Microsoft Supply Chain Center, which Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management customers can access, will proactively flag external issues such as weather, financials and geography that may impact key supply chain processes. Predictive insights then surface impacted orders across materials, inventory, carrier, distribution network and more. Supply chain planners can then automatically draft an email generated by Dynamics 365 Copilot to alert impacted partners and mitigate potential disruptions before they happen.
