Suitable use for Microsoft Dynamics

Question

I've asked to look into Microsoft Dynamics as a possible platform managing the state of factory equipment. Basically, we have hundreds of machines in our plant and we'd like track details regarding each machine, such as when it was installed, last back up time, next backup due, documents associated with each machine etc. The app would also have to send out reminders to employees to perform backups etc.

Is this something Dynamics is suited to or are I better off contacting a software company to design a custom web app? Any other suggestions?
