Insight Works makes MRP app free for Dynamics 365 Business Central users

Insight Works is now offering its Enhanced Planning Worksheet, an advanced planning tool for D365BC, for free to one user. The tool can be easily installed from  AppSource.

This materials requirements planning (MRP)-based tool helps businesses better manage inventory, work with vendors, and make smarter purchasing decisions, according to the company. Manufacturers and distributors using D365BC can now access powerful planning features without extra cost.

Unlike basic starter tools, the Enhanced Planning Worksheet offers a stronger, more complete alternative to the built-in planning tool in D365BC, the company said. It supports both full MRP/MPS (master production schedule) planning and a simpler, purchase-focused option, making it a great fit for companies that do a lot of distribution.

"We're giving users a no-risk way to leverage a serious MRP tool that improves planning," said Brian Neufeld, director of marketing at Insight Works. "It's about saving time, making better decisions, and doing everything within Business Central."
