Dynamics 365 for Canadian Retail and E-commerce

Selling in three channels means three versions of the truth about your stock, until you connect them. Business Central sits behind the storefront and the store, so inventory, cost, and margin are the same number wherever the order came from.

Where Retail & E-commerce operations break down

The same problems come up again and again:

Online storefront selling stock the warehouse already shipped out this morning

Margin by product line unknown because channel costs are allocated after the fact

Returns processed inconsistently across store, online, and marketplace

Seasonal buying based on last year's spreadsheet rather than actual sell-through
