Dynamics 365 Commerce Implementation Partner

Running retail across a physical store, an online channel, and a call centre at the same time is straightforward when all three share the same inventory, pricing, and customer data. Most retailers are not there yet. Stock levels are different on the website than they are in the warehouse. Promotions go live online before the store team knows about them. Customer returns from online purchases create confusion at the counter. Dynamics 365 Commerce fixes the disconnection by running every channel from one platform. Powercret delivers Commerce implementations on a fixed price, fixed timeline basis for retailers who need to get it right without a drawn out project.

What D365 Commerce Solves By Role

Retail Operations Manager

Run Every Channel From One Back Office Without Reconciling Them at the End of the Week

Managing stock, pricing, and promotions across stores, your website, and a phone channel is genuinely hard when those three things use separate systems. Someone always has to reconcile them. D365 Commerce puts all three in the same platform so your operations team stops reconciling and starts making decisions.

  • Unified product and pricing management pushed simultaneously to every channel
  • Real time stock positions shared across all store locations and the online channel
  • Automated promotion rules that apply consistently whether a customer is buying in store or online
  • Centralised order management regardless of which channel the order came from
  • Store performance and channel contribution reporting from a single data source

IT and Technology Manager

One Platform That Replaces the Collection of Retail Systems That Have Accumulated Over the Years

Most retail businesses carry more systems than they realise. A standalone POS, a separate e-commerce platform, a third party loyalty tool, and a finance system that none of them properly talk to. D365 Commerce sits on the Microsoft Azure platform and connects natively to Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain, which means consolidating those separate systems without building custom integrations between them.

  • Native connection to Dynamics 365 Finance for automated financial posting
  • Dynamics 365 Supply Chain integration for procurement driven replenishment
  • Cloud POS architecture that reduces on premise infrastructure dependency
  • Power Platform connectivity for custom store tools and operational workflows
  • Consolidated vendor count and the maintenance overhead that comes with fewer systems

Finance and Commercial Leader

Real Financial Visibility Across Every Store and Channel Without Waiting for Month End

Knowing which stores are profitable, which promotional lines are working, and where margin is being eroded is difficult when your retail transactions and your finance system operate on different reporting cycles. D365 Commerce posts transactions directly to Finance so the commercial picture is current rather than reconstructed.

  • Real time revenue and margin reporting by store, channel, and product category
  • Promotional spend and markdown tracking with gross margin impact at line level
  • Automated financial posting from every retail transaction to the general ledger
  • Multi entity and multi currency support for retail businesses operating across regions
  • Inventory cost of goods sold connected to Commerce stock movements for accurate margin reporting

Still Running Dynamics 365 Retail or Disconnected POS and E-Commerce Systems?


Microsoft discontinued Dynamics 365 Retail in 2020 and replaced it with Dynamics 365 Commerce. Commerce includes everything Retail offered plus a fully integrated e-commerce platform with a site builder, a native AI recommendation engine, and a modern loyalty management system. Businesses still on Dynamics 365 Retail should plan a migration. Businesses running a standalone POS alongside a separate Shopify or Magento storefront should consider whether consolidating onto Commerce makes commercial sense for their scale and growth plans. Powercret can assess both scenarios.

The Customer Journey Dynamics 365 Commerce Manages End to End

Product Discovery

Customers find products through personalised online recommendations, in store displays drawing from live inventory, and search results shaped by their previous browsing and purchase behaviour.

Browse and Consideration

Online shoppers interact with a consistent branded storefront. In store customers see accurate stock availability and product information connected to the same system as the website.

Purchase

Checkout is consistent across channels. The same pricing, promotions, and loyalty rules apply whether the customer is buying online, at a POS terminal, or placing an order by phone.

Fulfilment

Flexible fulfilment options including warehouse dispatch, ship from store for faster local delivery, and click and collect for customers who prefer to pick up in person.

Returns and Exchanges

Customers can return an online purchase in store without your team needing to look up the original transaction in a separate system. One returns process across all channels.

Loyalty and Retention

Points are earned and redeemed consistently across every channel. Loyalty data feeds the AI recommendation engine and your marketing team's segmentation for future campaigns.

Reporting and Optimisation

Every transaction feeds back into analytics so your merchandising, pricing, and promotional decisions are based on what is actually happening in the business rather than last season's data.

Project Closure & Analysis

Evaluate performance, profitability, and insights for future optimization.

D365 Commerce Integrations Powercret Configures

D365 Commerce Integrations Powercret Configures
  • Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management

    Sales velocity data from Commerce feeds directly into Supply Chain to drive replenishment planning. Purchase orders triggered by Commerce demand signals arrive in the warehouse with receiving instructions that match what the system already expects.

  • Dynamics 365 Finance

    Every retail transaction posts automatically to the Finance general ledger so there is no end of day or end of week reconciliation exercise sitting between your stores and your accounts. Margin reporting in Finance reflects live Commerce transaction data rather than waiting for a batch upload.

  • Microsoft Power BI

    Real time retail dashboards covering store sales, channel contribution, basket analytics, loyalty programme ROI, and promotional performance are built in Power BI and connected to Commerce data so commercial reviews run on current numbers rather than exported spreadsheets.

  • Microsoft Teams

    Store managers, head office merchandising teams, and call centre staff communicate and share operational updates in Teams rather than across a collection of group chats, emails, and notice boards. Promotional briefings and stock alerts surface in Teams alongside everything else.

  • Power Platform and Power Automate

    Promotion approval workflows, markdown sign off processes, and supplier purchase order automation are built in Power Automate and connected to Commerce events. Custom store manager tools and back office reporting dashboards are built in Power Apps without custom development in the Commerce core.

  • Third Party Platforms Including Shopify, Magento, and Marketplaces

    Where businesses already operate an established e-commerce platform or sell through marketplace channels, Powercret configures the integration between those channels and Commerce back office data for inventory, orders, and financial reconciliation. We assess whether migration to the native Commerce storefront makes sense or whether integration is the better commercial decision for your current scale.
