Inventory counts can often be a headache—manual entry, disjointed spreadsheets, outdated paper sheets, and missed items all lead to delays and insufficient data. The result? Frustrated staff, inaccurate stock levels, and lost time.

This webinar is for Business Central users who are tired of chaotic count days and unreliable numbers.

• Handle everything from simple stockrooms to complex warehouse setups (yes—even WIP and advanced warehousing)

You’ll learn how to:

• Create smart count sheets tailored to how your team counts
• Speed up data entry with real-time collaboration and mobile barcode support

Insight Works, a leading Independent Software Vendor (ISV) specializing in manufacturing and distribution apps for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, continues to spotlight its powerful inventory solution: Advanced Inventory Count. Designed to eliminate the delays and guesswork common in inventory counting, the app gives users the structure, speed, and visibility missing from Business Central’s out-of-the-box tools. With the Advanced Inventory Count app, simplify inventory counts with comprehensive data entry, reconciliation, posting, and analysis tools.

“Inventory counts shouldn’t take over your warehouse or stall operations,” said Brian Neufeld, Director of Marketing at Insight Works. “With Advanced Inventory Count, teams finish faster and more confidently—whether it’s a full count or a rolling cycle.”

From Manual Counts to Managed Processes

Business Central’s built-in Physical Inventory Journal works for simple needs—but when counts involve multiple users, bins, serial numbers, work-in-progress (WIP), or audit requirements, it falls short. Advanced Inventory Count fills the gap with structured workflows, built-in validation, and seamless integration with existing Business Central journals.

From barcode scanning to tailored count sheets and automated recount logic, the app equips users to handle counts with speed and confidence.

Lists individual count sheet lines, including item details, locations, expected quantities, and differences. This granular view allows inventory teams to reconcile discrepancies quickly and ensures accurate inventory reporting.

Why This Matters

Whether managing year-end or cycle counts, the difference between manual and streamlined processes becomes evident in the time saved and mistakes avoided. Advanced Inventory Count helps:

• Move Faster – Use multi-user entry and barcode scanning to cover more ground in less time.
• Stay Accurate – Flag discrepancies automatically, validate data before posting, and keep clean audit trails.
• Adapt to Any Setup – Supports bins, lots, serials, WIP, and advanced warehouse configurations.
• Avoid Posting Errors – Built-in tests catch missing data, blocked items, and config gaps.
• Own the Process – Run structured, repeatable inventory counts that meet real-world operational needs.

All-in-One Inventory Counting

Advanced Inventory Count isn’t just a nicer interface—it’s a complete inventory count management system. The app works seamlessly with both paper and barcode workflows and connects directly to standard journals in Business Central—no middleware or extra tools required.

Key Features Include:

• Multi-user entry
• Barcode integration and compatible with Android-based Mobile Devices
• Flexible, filter-based count sheet generation
• Smart recount functionality with audit tracking
• WIP reconciliation and posting
• Journal test reporting for clean postings
• Native Business Central integration

Available Now

Advanced Inventory Count is available through Microsoft AppSource and installs quickly with a built-in setup wizard. Learn more or get started at https://InventoryForDynamics.com.

“We’re giving users a no-risk way to leverage a serious MRP tool that improves planning,” says Brian Neufeld, Director of Marketing at Insight Works. “It’s about saving time, making better decisions, and doing everything within Business Central.”

• Planning Parameters in Context: Adjust reorder points, safety stock, and minimum order quantities directly from the worksheet—no drilling down required.

Made for Real Planners

The Enhanced Planning Worksheet isn’t just a nicer UI—it’s an accurate productivity tool. Whether dealing with thousands of SKUs or coordinating a team of purchasers, the app helps eliminate friction and guesswork from the planning process. It centralizes decisions, streamlines purchasing, and integrates directly with Business Central—no middleware required.

Free for One User—No Catch

Insight Works offers the Enhanced Planning Worksheet for free to one licensed Business Central user. It’s part of the Enhanced Planning Pack but works excellently as a standalone app, and it is installable from Microsoft AppSource.
