Warehouse Insight for Business Central

Business Central WMS: Where Adaptability Meets Efficiency

Warehousing forms the backbone of supply chains. Efficiently managing and organizing a warehouse is a significant challenge that can directly impact a company's bottom line. Today, many significantly growing businesses struggle with outdated warehousing software or use software that doesn't align well with their processes.

The Dilemma Warehouses Face Today

  • Growing Pains: Many businesses that began with more straightforward software like QuickBooks eventually outgrow its capabilities. As operations expand, there's a palpable need for more advanced software to keep up with the complexity.
  • The Software Mismatch: Often, warehouses look towards comprehensive solutions like Warehouse Management Systems (WMS). However, the major drawback is that many systems must be more flexible. Adopting such software sometimes means altering existing workflows and processes to fit the system's design.
  • The Need for Mobile Integration: In today's fast-paced world, mobile device integration isn't just a luxury; it's essential. Yet, many WMS or similar solutions don't adequately support this, leaving warehouse staff tied to stationary systems.

Enter Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Dynamics 365 Business Central is a potent option for businesses searching for robust software. It bridges the gap between essential accounting software and complex enterprise resource planning systems. Here's why:

  • Scalability: Business Central grows with your business. It adapts to changing needs, ensuring businesses can avoid jumping platforms frequently.
  • Integrated Features: From finance to customer relationships, the software offers a suite of functionalities, allowing for streamlined operations.

However, one noticeable gap in Business Central is its limited mobile device integration, especially regarding warehousing tasks.

Warehouse Insight: A Flexible WMS Solution for Business Central

Warehouse Insight from Insight Works is a testament to the evolution of Warehouse Management Systems (WMS). Out of the box, this powerful app is a comprehensive WMS ready to be integrated swiftly with Dynamics 365 Business Central. For businesses that have standard warehouse processes, it's a plug-and-play solution.

However, what sets Warehouse Insight apart is its innate flexibility. For businesses with specific needs or unique processes, the app doesn't just accommodate but thrives. Using its application designer, businesses can mold and shape its functionalities. This means companies aren't cornered into accepting a one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, they can configure and adapt Warehouse Insight to their unique requirements.

How Warehouse Insight Complements Dynamics 365 Business Central:

  • Custom Code Capabilities: With Warehouse Insight, businesses can craft custom extension code units using a simple drag-and-drop interface. There is no need for developers or extensive professional services. This allows the software to communicate efficiently with mobile devices, improving the speed and accuracy of data input.
  • Event-Based Handling: It works on a system of events, providing granular control over operations. Events can be set to trigger before or after a specific process, ensuring a dynamic response to varying workflow needs.

  • Retaining and Enhancing Workflows: Businesses can stay true to their established processes. Rather than forcing change, Warehouse Insight amplifies the efficiency of current workflows, ensuring warehouses can integrate the latest technological advancements without compromising their operational identity.
