Located in the Puget Sound region near Seattle, the busy corporate campus encompasses over 100 buildings spanning nearly 14 million square feet, accommodating more than 60,000 employees and external staff, plus numerous visitors each day.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"quote-body\"><p>We had a pretty audacious vision for what we wanted to do.

Avanade\u2019s in-depth knowledge of Microsoft Dynamics 365 and the Power Platform helped define the requirements for external vendor applications, ensuring that they could integrate seamlessly and securely with the overall solution.<\/p>\n<p>So, how does the reimagined logistics process look in practice? Consider a day in the life of the small but productive crew working behind the scenes to provide a great experience to an employee who has ordered a new keyboard:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"c-list\">\n<li>After the order is placed, a third-party package carrier logs into a Dynamics 365 portal to book an appointment at a campus logistics center to deliver the keyboard.<\/li>\n<li>The package carrier is checked-in by a campus dock manager with Dynamics 365 Field Service. A Logistics Control Tower Dashboard built on Power BI is used to make delivery schedules more efficient.<\/li>\n<li>A campus driver loads the keyboard, along with many other packages, onto their vehicle and consults the integrated route optimization and delivery management system to ensure the most efficient route is used and service level agreements are met.<\/li>\n<li>Once the new keyboard is delivered to the productive employee, a waste and recycling manager uses Dynamics 365 Inventory Management to track reusable items and ensure the old keyboard is properly disposed of and other supplies are re-used if possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The solution also includes capabilities to measure and report results, both from a logistics aspect as well as from an employee experience perspective. Easy access to this data will allow the team to address issues and look for opportunities to improve both operations and experiences.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy transforming our back-of-house logistics, we can closely identify the movement of deliveries and materials as well as evaluate employee feedback,\u201d says Katy Flaherty, senior district facilities manager at Microsoft. \u201cThis provides our team with up-to-date status on these deliveries.\u00a0 We\u2019ve moved beyond more manual processes and lists to real time tracking data. This also gives us the ability to learn from this information and adjust our operations to be more efficient and cost effective.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"A City Within A City: The digital transformation of logistics and operations for a large corporate campus\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/e8azD8E2ZtM\"><\/iframe><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">For a transcript, please view the video on YouTube: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=e8azD8E2ZtM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=e8azD8E2ZtM<\/a>, select the &#8220;More actions&#8221; button (three dots icon) below the video, and then select &#8220;Show transcript.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: -5px;\"><em>See how Microsoft\u2019s campus logistics digital transformation provides employees and suppliers with an experience unlike any other workspace in the world.<\/em><\/div>\n<h2>Results<\/h2>\n<p>Microsoft\u2019s campus logistics digital transformation provides employees and suppliers with an experience unlike any other workspace in the world.
