Plastics manufacturing software and consulting

From injection molding to extrusion, plastics manufacturers face pressure to cut costs, improve traceability, and meet sustainability goals. Crowe helps manufacturers get more from their Microsoft Dynamics 365™ investment with solutions tailored to plastics operations.

Helping plastics manufacturers navigate complexity with confidence 


Plastics manufacturers operate in a complex environment shaped by resin price volatility, evolving customer demands, and increasing regulatory expectations. Standard enterprise resource planning and customer relationship management platforms often fall short in addressing the realities of plastics manufacturing.

Crowe helps plastics organizations get more from the full Microsoft technology stack, including Dynamics 365, Microsoft Power Platform™, Microsoft Azure™, and Microsoft Fabric. By aligning these tools to injection molding, extrusion, and compounding operations, we enable greater visibility, control, and performance across the business.

We work with plastics manufacturers who face complex challenges

Our teams are uniquely qualified to help plastics manufacturers:

  • Manage fluctuating resin costs and supply chain disruptions
  • Maintain in-batch and lot traceability across injection molding and extrusion processes
  • Monitor production efficiency, cycle times, and scrap rates
  • Support recycled plastics usage and sustainability reporting
  • Balance make-to-stock and make-to-order production models
  • Gain real-time insight into inventory, costs, and profitability

Our approach focuses on using the Dynamics 365 platform to directly address each of these plastics-specific challenges.
