Dynamics 365 Partner for Aerospace & Defence

Your Aerospace & Defence Operations Shouldn’t Keep You
Up at Night

When a supplier slips, your whole programme feels it. Most A&D teams do not have a data problem, they have a visibility problem, and they find out too late. Mercurius IT connects your bids, finance, supply chain, compliance and maintenance on one Dynamics 365 platform, ERP and CRM together, so you see problems before they become crises.

The platform

What Is Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Aerospace & Defence?

Microsoft Dynamics 365 for aerospace and defence is one connected platform spanning the full programme lifecycle. Customer Engagement wins and manages the work, Finance and Supply Chain Management run delivery, Project Operations control engineer-to-order programmes, and Field Service sustains assets through maintenance, repair and overhaul.
It is not a single product. Mercurius IT configures the Dynamics 365 applications that fit your programmes, ERP (enterprise resource planning) and CRM (customer relationship management), then connects them so bid, finance, procurement, production, quality and maintenance read from the same live data. No blind spots between stages.

The reality

Where Aerospace & Defence Programmes
Are Losing Control

The Reality You're Operating In What it Costs Your Business
●  Global, multi-tier supply chains ⚠  A Tier 3 delay you don't see until it has already slipped your delivery date
●  Rising regulatory and audit pressure ⚠  Compliance teams spending days pulling records that should take minutes
●  Limited visibility across operations ⚠  Disruptions you respond to late because the data lives in five disconnected systems
●  Disconnected legacy systems ⚠  Finance, procurement, and supply chain working from different versions of the truth

Supplier visibility

Tier 2 and tier 3 delays reach you after the schedule has already moved.

Disconnected systems

Finance, procurement and supply chain reconcile against each other, not one record.

Re-plan speed

A scope or version change takes weeks to absorb instead of hours.
i

Audit traceability

Pulling full part genealogy for an AS9100 or MOD audit takes days, not minutes.

Reactive maintenance

Assets are fixed after failure, so unplanned downtime writes your schedule.

Margin timing

Programme margin is confirmed at year-end, long after it could be corrected.
~

Secure collaboration

Working across sites and partners depends on workarounds your security team dislikes.

Not sure how many of these apply to you? The 10-question programme readiness check shows where your exposure sits today.

    Trusted by Businesses Across the UK – Here’s Why

    “Grundfos have been working with Mercurius on the development of an integrated Claims Management solution.

    Based on Microsoft technologies it integrates with our CRM and ERP systems to substantially improve our claims management process. It also offers our customers a much-simplified approach to raising and completing a claim and enables them to both view and add claims online. Mercurius have shown themselves to be very responsive to our needs and we believe they represent great value for money.“

    Jason Funnell
    Director of Operations, Grundfos

    “Not only did Mercurius beat our existing partner’s quote by a significant margin, they did it at a fixed price — removing our commercial risk. In the end, they guided us carefully through the process and also implemented some great improvements to our business.”
