Solution

U.S. AutoForce pays thousands of invoices per day and 50% of orders are for same day delivery.

U.S. Venture and its U.S. AutoForce division implemented Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management to centralize warehouse data, connect processes, and improve operational efficiency while using Microsoft Copilot for Finance to automate monthly reconciliations. Now operational in 40 states, U.S. AutoForce receives, picks, transfers, and ships orders faster with less friction. Its finance department uses AI automation to pay invoices and process warranty payments, which improves accuracy and gives time back to employees.
