Production planning, quality control, and shop floor visibility for UK manufacturers.
UK manufacturers face increasing pressure to improve efficiency, reduce waste, maintain quality, and respond faster to changing demand. Common pain points include disconnected production planning, manual BOM management, reactive rather than preventive maintenance, lack of real-time shop floor visibility, and difficulty meeting quality standards.
Dynamics 365 (Business Central Premium or Finance & Operations) provides integrated manufacturing capabilities: production orders, BOMs, routings, capacity planning, MRP, quality management, and shop floor execution.
Veriland helps manufacturers select and implement the right D365 platform, integrate with shop floor systems and IoT devices, and deliver real-time visibility across the entire production process. Our proprietary products — MaxWAM for warehouse management and manufacturing execution, and VeriConnect for EDI and trading partner integration — extend Business Central with capabilities purpose-built for manufacturing and distribution workflows.
Inefficient planning leading to bottlenecks, idle capacity, and missed delivery dates.
Complex, multi-level BOMs that are difficult to manage and version in spreadsheets or basic systems.
Manual MRP processes that fail to account for lead times, minimum order quantities, and safety stock.
Inconsistent quality processes, lack of traceability, and difficulty meeting ISO and customer requirements.
No real-time visibility of work-in-progress, machine utilisation, or production status.
Reactive maintenance causing unplanned downtime and production disruption.
Manufacturing, production orders, BOMs, and capacity planning for SME manufacturers.
Advanced manufacturing, MRP, quality, and shop floor for mid-market.
Asset management and maintenance scheduling.
IoT data, production analytics, and predictive maintenance.
Business Central Premium with manufacturing module.
D365 F&O with production control and supply chain.
Warehouse management, shop floor execution, asset management, and preventive maintenance for BC.
EDI and integration platform for trading partner connectivity, supplier automation, and logistics.
MaxWAM is built and supported by Veriland — not a third-party add-on. One partner for your entire manufacturing technology stack.
Independently certified information security. Your production data, IP, and commercial information are protected by audited controls.
Our MD is a Microsoft Alumni with deep insider knowledge of the Dynamics 365 platform and roadmap.
VeriConnect provides turnkey EDI connectivity to your trading partners, suppliers, and logistics providers — no custom code required.
“Veriland implemented Business Central Premium with manufacturing in 10 weeks. Our MRP accuracy improved dramatically, and we reduced raw material overstock by 25% in the first quarter.”

Business Central Premium includes manufacturing capabilities suitable for discrete manufacturers with up to 200 users. F&O is better for larger manufacturers with advanced MRP, quality management, multi-site production, or process manufacturing requirements.
D365 F&O supports process manufacturing with recipes, batch orders, co-products, and by-products. Business Central is primarily suited to discrete manufacturing (BOMs, production orders).
D365 MRP analyses demand (sales orders, forecasts, minimum stock levels), compares with supply (inventory, purchase orders, production orders), and generates planned orders to fill gaps. Parameters like lead times, lot sizes, and safety stock are configurable per item.
Yes. Azure IoT Hub can connect to most modern industrial equipment via standard protocols (OPC-UA, MQTT). Data flows into D365 and Power BI for real-time monitoring, alerting, and analytics.
D365 includes quality orders, inspection plans, test specifications, and non-conformance tracking. Quality orders can be triggered automatically at receipt, production, or dispatch. Full audit trail for ISO compliance.
Yes. D365 tracks actual vs. standard costs per production order: material costs, labour costs, overhead, and subcontracting. Variance analysis highlights cost deviations.
A BC Starter Pack with manufacturing typically takes 8-12 weeks. F&O implementations for manufacturing are usually 12-20 weeks depending on complexity.
Yes. Veriland builds integrations between D365 and shop floor systems (MES, SCADA, PLC) using Azure Integration Services and VeriConnect. Alternatively, MaxWAM provides its own MES capabilities natively within Business Central — shop floor data capture, job card registration, and production reporting — which may replace the need for a separate MES entirely.
AB Mauri upgraded to Dynamics AX 2012 R3 with a high-availability cluster architecture — ensuring continuous operations across 52 manufacturing plants while resolving critical system fixes.
Graham & Brown replaced an expensive legacy EDI system with Azure Logic Apps and Integration Services — dramatically reducing costs while improving reliability and speed of B2B trading partner communications.
XenVit deployed Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations across multinational operations and fine-tuned an open-source LLM on Azure to transform sales, marketing and customer service.
