What is Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management?

Microsoft's Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management allows users to use predictive insights and intelligence from AI and Internet of Things (IoT) across planning, production, inventory, warehouse, and transportation management to maximize operational efficiency, product quality, and profitability. It replaces the SCM capabilities of the former Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations (Dynamics AX), splitting them off from Dynamics 365 Finance, in order to provide more flexible pricing and allowing customers to buy only what they need.
