With 3PL Dynamics, built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, AI functionalities are not optional extras. They are standard features designed to make your logistics processes more intelligent and future-proof.
The Power of AI in Logistics
AI is integrated into 3PL Dynamics through Microsoft Copilot and Azure Applied AI Services, giving you access to cutting-edge capabilities without complex customisation. Here are some of the most impactful features:
1. Data Analysis with Copilot
Analysing operational data used to mean exporting lists to Excel and spending hours creating reports.
Now, with Copilot, you simply type a prompt and get instant insights directly in your logistics software.
For example, you can quickly see how many inbound or outbound orders were processed in a given period, helping you make informed decisions on the spot.
2. Converting Emails into Orders
Manually retyping orders from emails is time-consuming and prone to errors. The AI-powered Order Entry module eliminates this by converting unstructured email data into structured order details.
With the Outlook add-in, you can create a new order in 3PL Dynamics with just two clicks.
3. Reading and Linking Documents
Logistics operations involve countless documents in different formats. Mapping each one manually is nearly impossible.
AI-driven Form Recognition solves this by automatically reading and extracting structured data from documents such as purchase invoices or NOAs.
It even links PDF documents to the correct orders automatically.

- Faster decision-making through real-time analysis
- Reduced manual work and fewer errors
- Improved customer service with quicker responses
- Future-proof technology that evolves with your business
