Beyond the ERP: Building a Modern Finance Ecosystem for Manufacturing and MS Dynamics
Manufacturing finance teams are being asked to do more with less. Sharper visibility, tighter working capital, and real support for growth, all while operational complexity keeps climbing. Join us for a candid conversation exploring how finance leaders in manufacturing are navigating AP processes, approval bottlenecks, disconnected systems, and supplier payment pressure without adding headcount.
This is a practical discussion between a manufacturing finance leader, a Microsoft Dynamics partner, and an AP automation expert about what’s actually working in the back office. You’ll hear firsthand how one manufacturing finance team navigated modernizing their AP function, what changed in their business, and how connecting AP automation to Microsoft Dynamics can amplify your ERP’s effectiveness.
Key Takeaways
1. Visibility and control break down long before finance sees the impact. Gaps in invoice status, approvals, and supplier commitments, often caused by disconnected systems and manual work, quietly erode confidence in financial decisions and slow the business down.
2. AP is a strategic starting point, not just a back-office task. As AP evolves from transactional to strategic, automating becomes one of the highest impact ways to improve quality of timeliness and data flowing to your ERP.
3. Finance and operations move at the same speed, or neither does. In manufacturing, AP delays don’t stay in the back office. They ripple into supplier relationships and production continuity.
