Dynamics 365 Advanced Warehouse (WMS) Consultant — Senior / Confident Level
Client: UK‑based dairy & chilled food manufacturer/distributor
Location: India — hybrid, with on‑site presence at production/distribution sites
Engagement: Full-time Contractor (not working anywhere)/ Permanent
Experience: 6–12 years, incl. 3+ full‑cycle D365 SCM WMS implementations
About the Role
You will own the Advanced Warehouse Management workstream in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management: designing the warehouse model, configuring it, proving it on the floor with mobile devices, and standing it up through go‑live and hypercare. This is a hands‑on senior role — you design it and you build it.
Key Responsibilities
Warehouse design & configuration
Lead the Advanced Warehouse Management (AWM/WMS) workstream end‑to‑end in D365 SCM — design authority through to hands‑on configuration.
Configure the core WMS engine: wave templates and wave processing, work templates and work classes, location directives, work pools and work exceptions.
Build and optimise mobile device menus, menu items, field priorities and device flows for warehouse and yard operatives.
Configure load templates, load building strategies, shipment workflows, and outbound sortation/consolidation logic.
End‑to‑end warehouse processes
Inbound: ASN/receiving, quality hold on receipt, put‑away strategies and cross‑docking for fast‑moving chilled lines.
Outbound: picking (cluster, batch, wave), packing, staging, marshalling by dispatch bay and route, and shipping confirmation.
Replenishment: min/max, demand‑based and wave‑based strategies tuned for high‑throughput pick faces.
Counting and quality: cycle counting by threshold/spot, inventory adjustments, quality orders and non‑conformance handling.
Sector‑Specific Requirements (Dairy / Chilled)
Full batch traceability — forward and backward — supporting mock recalls and BRCGS / food safety audit requirements.
Temperature‑controlled zoning: chilled, ambient and frozen locations with compliant put‑away and pick logic.
Short shelf life: FEFO enforcement, minimum‑shelf‑life‑on‑despatch rules by customer, and residual shelf‑life alerts.
Returnable assets: crates, dollies, roll cages and pallet pooling (e.g. CHEP/IFCO) tracking.
Allergen and segregation controls across storage and picking.
Route‑based dispatch to retail RDCs and multi‑drop rounds, including retailer‑specific labelling (GS1‑128/SSCC) and EDI‑driven despatch.
What You'll Bring
Deep, demonstrable D365 SCM Advanced Warehousing expertise — not "SCM generalist with some WMS exposure."
3+ full lifecycle implementations covering design, configuration, testing, cutover and hypercare.
Working knowledge of adjacent modules: Inventory Management, Master Planning, Production Control (process/lean), Transportation Management.
Practical experience with warehouse mobile hardware — RF guns, wearables, voice picking, label/print integration and scale interfaces.
Comfort with data: warehouse configuration migration, DMF/data entities, and diagnosing wave/work performance issues.
Confident client‑facing communication — able to hold a design position with a warehouse manager at 5am and a programme board at 2pm.
Nice to have: FMCG/food & beverage or 3PL background; catch weight and process manufacturing exposure; Power Platform (Power Apps/Power BI) for warehouse dashboards; Microsoft certifications MB‑330 and MB‑335 (Supply Chain Management Functional Consultant Expert).
