Microsoft Dynamics 365 for the Wire and Cable Industry

The Wire and Cable industry experiences uncertain times that offer both opportunities and challenges.

On one hand, there are opportunities such as the rollout of 5G technology, investments in FTTH networks, sustainable energy projects (solar and wind energy), and the upgrade of electricity grids to deal with current production and consumption patterns.

On the other hand, there are challenges as many cable end-use sectors suffer due to the COVID-crisis. With automotive manufacturers temporarily shutting plants, construction projects delayed, and industrial activities slowing down, cable demand is certainly affected.

There is one thing the Wire and Cable industry can be sure of: there will be continuous change.

That’s why wire and cable companies, both manufacturers and distributors, need to be able to quickly adapt to an ever-changing business environment.

The Need for a specific WIRE AND CABLE ERP System

The modern cloud-based enterprise solution Microsoft Dynamics 365 is designed to be flexible and easy to use. It is the platform to seamlessly collect and process information from across the enterprise and empower key decision-makers to respond to changing business environments with agility. It’s the technology that wire and cable manufacturers and distributors need to thrive in today’s ever-changing world.

However, the business processes in the Wire and Cable industry, as a semi-process industry, have some unique characteristics that standard ERP solutions don’t recognize. It means that Wire and Cable companies have a set of distinctive requirements that standard ERP solutions cannot fulfill. As a result, Wire and Cable companies generally end up with application silos next to ERP systems that rarely integrate and are expensive to maintain.
