End-to-End Manufacturing on Dynamics 365
Six integrated solution areas purpose-built for modern Indian manufacturers — from discrete to process, make-to-order to make-to-stock.
Production Planning & MRP
Automatically generate production plans from real-time demand signals, inventory
levels, and machine availability. AI-powered master scheduling eliminates manual planning and cuts
production lead times by up to 30%.
BOM · MPS · Shop Floor Control
Supply Chain & Inventory
End-to-end supply chain visibility with real-time inventory tracking across
multi-site warehouses. AI demand forecasting prevents stockouts and overproduction — with full supplier
collaboration portal integration.
Multi-warehouse · IoT Tracking
Quality & Compliance
Embed quality controls at every production stage. Manage non-conformances,
batch/serial traceability, and regulatory compliance (ISO 9001, FDA, BIS) — maintaining audit-ready
documentation automatically.
ISO · FDA · Batch Traceability
Predictive Maintenance
IoT sensors + AI predict equipment failures before they happen. Field Service
integration dispatches technicians automatically — achieving 85% reduction in unplanned downtime and
extending asset lifespan.

telemetry flows into D365 dashboards — giving plant managers live visibility of throughput, quality, and
energy consumption across every production line.

"SchwettmannTech transformed our Pune plant operations with D365 Finance & Operations.
We went from manual production scheduling to AI-driven MRP in 14 weeks. Our OEE improved from 72% to 91%, and
we eliminated ₹3.2 crore in annual scrap costs within the first year. The Copilot supply chain recommendations
alone saved us two full-time planner roles."
