  • Overview

A Microsoft Dynamics 365 Platform Built for Biotech and Life Sciences Operations

Founded in 2004 and headquartered in Beverly, Massachusetts, this organization delivers Microsoft Dynamics 365 for biotech and life sciences workflows — designing modular robotic systems and laboratory automation devices that power end-to-end drug discovery for pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and academic institutions. Their flexible, reconfigurable platforms and purpose-built software create high-throughput "data factories" that accelerate experimentation, reduce errors, and drive faster insights at scale.

With over 250 employees and a global customer base, the organization required a unified ERP capable of managing the project lifecycle, production operations, and financial compliance across engineering and manufacturing functions. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management was implemented by DynaTech Systems as the operational backbone — supported by Azure Data Factory pipelines, Azure Fabric analytics, and a best-in-class ISV stack.

A science-first company needed an ERP that could match the precision of the instruments it builds — unified D365 Finance & SCM project accounting, production control, and financial compliance across a globally connected life sciences enterprise.

DynaTech Systems delivered a comprehensive D365 F&SCM implementation covering standardized project lifecycle integration across engineering, manufacturing, and finance; subscription billing automation; centralized Azure Fabric and Power BI reporting; Avalara Avatax compliance; SKG vendor payment automation; and OneStream trial balance integration — establishing a single operational backbone for the business.

Business Functions

3 Core Business Functions Unified on D365 Finance & SCM

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management serves as the unified backbone — connecting project management, production and inventory control, and financial compliance within a single platform supported by Azure Data Factory and Power BI for real-time visibility.

01

Project Management

Unified project lifecycle management across engineering, manufacturing, and finance with standardized D365 Finance & SCM project costing, real-time budget-versus-actual tracking, and cross-functional visibility. Standardized naming conventions unify numbering across engineering and operations. Project lifecycle integration connects supply chain, manufacturing execution, and financial posting into a single traceable workflow.

02

Production & Inventory

Production control, master planning, and WIP visibility through D365 SCM — providing planners with real-time inventory status, production order progress, and materials requirements. Centralized production data enables accurate costing aligned to the project accounting framework, ensuring every manufacturing event is reflected in financial records without manual reconciliation.

03

Finance & Compliance

End-to-end financial operations covering AP/AR automation, treasury, and consolidated reporting. Vendor payment automation through SKG integration reduces manual AP processing. Avalara Avatax delivers real-time tax compliance across jurisdictions. OneStream trial balance integration supports financial consolidation and group reporting — delivering a complete, audit-ready finance function.
