Insight Works has been named to The Globe and Mail's Top Growing Companies 2026 for the seventh time. One of only three companies to reach that milestone since the ranking's 2019 debut, Insight Works' growth has been driven by demand for its Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central apps across manufacturing and distribution.

Insight Works has been named to The Globe and Mail's eighth annual ranking of Canada's Top Growing Companies for 2026, marking the company's seventh appearance on the list since it launched in 2019. That puts Insight Works in a group of just three companies nationwide to reach seven years on the ranking.

Insight Works placed No. 360 on this year's list, with three-year revenue growth of 48%, among companies ranked in 2026.

Canada's Top Growing Companies is an editorial ranking that launched in 2019 to celebrate the achievements of innovative Canadian businesses. To qualify, companies complete an in-depth application process and meet targeted revenue requirements based on three-year revenue growth. The full list of 2026 winners, along with editorial coverage, is published in the October issue of Report on Business magazine and online at theglobeandmail.com/business/rob-magazine/top-growing-companies/article-ranking-canadas-top-growing-companies-of-2026.

Insight Works' growth has been driven by demand for its Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central apps, which help manufacturers and distributors streamline shop floor data collection, scheduling, warehouse management, shipping, and more.

"Business Central has no shortage of app vendors, but very few stay this focused on manufacturing and distribution. Landing on this list seven times, as a Canadian company competing on a global stage, says our team and partners have built something that holds up," said Mark Hamblin, President of Insight Works. "We're proud of that, and we don't forget who got us here."

"Our annual ranking of Canada's Top Growing Companies celebrates the innovation, ambition and resilience of businesses across the country, and we're always excited to share as many of these standout stories as we can, including insight from the entrepreneurs themselves on how other companies can succeed, too," said Dawn Calleja, editor of Report on Business magazine.

"The Globe and Mail congratulates the winners of Canada's Top Growing Companies 2026 on this exceptional achievement," said Andrew Saunders, president and CEO of The Globe and Mail. "Each of these organizations has shown an extraordinary ability to adapt, innovate and grow amid ongoing change. Their achievements reflect the ingenuity and determination of Canadian entrepreneurs and business leaders who are helping shape the future of our economy."

As Microsoft's Latest Business Central Release Doubles Down on Native Financial Tools, Counter Sales Extends That Same Philosophy to the Sales Counter

Insight Works, a developer of add-on applications for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, today reaffirmed its commitment to eliminating disconnected point-of-sale systems for trade desks, parts counters, and industrial retail operations with Counter Sales, a point-of-sale and trade-desk solution built directly into Business Central.

The reminder comes as Microsoft's 2026 release wave 1 for Business Central continues to push more financial capability natively into the core product, including AI-assisted bank account reconciliation, expanded cash-flow forecasting, and deeper embedded reporting, all aimed at reducing the manual reconciliation and disconnected tools that have historically slowed finance teams down. That same problem has long existed one step earlier in the process, at the sales counter itself. Many organizations running Business Central still take trade-desk and counter payments through a separate system entirely, which creates manual reconciliation work, delayed visibility into cash flow, and duplicate data entry between the point-of-sale tool and the ledger.

Insight Works built Counter Sales to close that gap at the point of sale. The application adds order entry, barcode scanning, and payment processing directly inside Business Central, so a trade-desk or parts-counter transaction posts straight to the ledger without ever leaving the system. Split payments across cash, card, and other methods are supported per order, along with card-present, card-on-file, and virtual-terminal processing for phone and repeat orders. Deposits, including partial and full deposits with tax, apply cleanly to sales and return orders. At day's end, dimensions-based cash register reconciliation posts directly to the general ledger, closing out the till without a separate reconciliation step.

Counter Sales also supports a shared-terminal, device-based license model, allowing multiple shift employees to work from one counter terminal without requiring a full Business Central user license for each person, an approach built for the realities of shift-based trade-desk and counter staffing.

Mark Hamblin, Senior Solutions Advisor at Insight Works, put it this way: "Business Central keeps adding native financial capability, but that only closes half the gap if the sale itself still happens outside the system. Counter Sales was built so the counter and the ledger are never disconnected in the first place. For anyone who wants to see this in practice, we cover it in detail in our webcasts, available at dmsiworks.com/webcasts."

Availability

Counter Sales is available now as a subscription add-on for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central through Microsoft Marketplace and directly at CounterSalesForDynamics.com

About Counter Sales

Counter Sales is a point-of-sale and trade-desk app built directly into Business Central for professional salespeople at parts counters, trade desks, and industrial retail operations. It brings order entry, barcode scanning, advanced item lookup, multiple payment types, deposit handling, and cash register reconciliation into the Business Central environment organizations already run on, without third-party connectors or duplicate data entry.

Many businesses running Business Central still handle counter and trade-desk payments through a system outside the ERP, resulting in manual reconciliation, delayed cash-flow visibility, and duplicate data entry.

New connector gives Business Central users rate shopping, booking, and tracking across 47,000+ LTL and parcel carriers through Priority1

Insight Works, a leading provider of add-on applications for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, today announced that Dynamic Ship now supports Priority1, a freight network of more than 47,000 vetted carriers. The new connector lets Business Central users rate shop, book, and track LTL and parcel shipments in one connection, without switching between carrier portals.

Priority1 built its reputation on service across multiple freight modes rather than a single carrier relationship. The Dynamic Ship connector brings that flexibility directly into Business Central, so shippers can manage quoting, dispatch, and tracking from within the same system they use to run the rest of their operations.

"Shippers using Business Central often manage LTL and parcel through separate systems or portals," said Brian Neufeld, Director of Marketing at Insight Works. "The Priority1 connector removes that friction. Users get rate visibility and booking across both modes without leaving Business Central."

Key capabilities include:

• Rate quoting across two modes: Parcel and LTL rates pulled directly into Business Central.
• Shipment dispatch and booking: Create and dispatch shipments across both modes from within Business Central.
• Labels, BOLs, and shipment images: Retrieve shipping labels and BOL documents for parcel and LTL shipments.
• Reference numbers and shipment notes: Add reference numbers and notes to LTL shipments for internal tracking.
• Shipment cancellation: Cancel LTL or parcel shipments as needed.

The connector is available now for Dynamic Ship customers. Dynamic Ship is required to use the Priority1 connector.

New partnerships extend Business Central support across Canada, Germany, and the United States.

Insight Works, an independent software vendor that builds apps for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central in the manufacturing and distribution industries, has added three new Microsoft Partners to its global reseller network in August 2026. The additions extend local Business Central support across Canada, Germany, and the United States.

In the United States, 6TEN9 Business Solutions, based in Kennewick, Washington, was founded by Clay Fox, a Microsoft MVP who built the practice on his own Business Central implementation experience before packaging that experience into products of its own: Time Entry, CRM, and Shop Floor Insights, a manufacturing execution system for tracking production directly on the shop floor.

Also in North America, Zander ERP Services, based in Calgary, Alberta, works exclusively on Business Central, supporting clients across construction, healthcare, real estate, manufacturing, oil and gas, and agriculture with implementation, training, and ongoing support.

In Germany, BOS Pragma, the Business Central consulting practice of battery and energy storage manufacturer BOS AG, grew directly out of BOS AG's own manufacturing operations team before being offered to other energy and industrial businesses across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The practice already resells Continia's accounts payable automation software for Business Central.

"I talk to a lot of partners who are advocating for what their clients need," said Melonie Wood, who has spent more than seven years at Insight Works as its Partner Success Manager. "What they actually care about isn't just margins, it's whether we'll train their team and be there when they're stuck. That's what it takes to be the partner your clients count on, and it's exactly what gets me excited every time we welcome someone new."

Each partnership gives Business Central customers in these markets a local contact for implementation, configuration, and ongoing support.

The global configure-price-quote (CPQ) software market reaches USD 3.9 billion in 2026, according to Grand View Research, with manufacturing accounting for the largest share of industry revenue in 2025 due to the sector's need to manage complex product configurations and pricing structures. As more manufacturers evaluate CPQ tools to speed up quoting and reduce configuration errors, Insight Works is highlighting a detail that recent CPQ buyer's guides have been more candid about than in past years: implementation timelines for standalone platforms can run from a few months for a focused product catalog to twelve to eighteen months for complex, engineer-to-order environments with deep ERP integration requirements. For manufacturers already running Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, that timeline and integration overhead may not be necessary. Insight Works' Product Configurator, an add-on for Business Central, brings configuration, BOM generation, and routing automation directly into the sales quote and order screens manufacturers already use, without a separate platform, a separate login, or a middleware layer to keep in sync with the ERP. "Manufacturers considering CPQ are usually trying to solve two problems at once: faster, more accurate quotes, and BOMs and routings that don't require manual rebuilding for every order," said Mark Hamblin, Senior Solutions Advisor, at Insight Works. "For a lot of Business Central customers, standing up a second system is a bigger project than the quoting problem itself. Product Configurator was built on the idea that this logic should live where the item master, the routing, and the sales order already live."

How Product Configurator Works

Set up inside Business Central, Product Configurator organizes configurable products into item categories, options, and option choices. Sales and customer service representatives select from those options directly on a sales quote or order; production planners and engineers maintain the underlying BOM and routing logic centrally rather than across scattered spreadsheets or one-off item records. Key capabilities include:

• Automatic generation of assembly or production BOMs and routings based on selected options
• An Advanced Rule Builder that prevents incompatible configurations, enforces required components, and calculates quantities using formulas
• Quoting items, which let sales teams quote high volumes of configurations against a single base item number, generating a full item record only when a quote converts to an order
• Native integration with standard Business Central MPS and MRP, so configured items plan the same way any other item does
• Support for sub-configurations, allowing a single component, such as a wheel assembly, to have its own nested configuration

Setup Still Takes Real Work, and Insight Works Says So

Insight Works is careful to note that moving configuration logic into any system, including its own, takes genuine setup effort, particularly for manufacturers migrating years of accumulated logic out of spreadsheets. The company offers a 30-day trial through Microsoft Marketplace so prospective customers can scope that effort before committing, and provides services to train customers on setup, the Rule Builder, and formula design.

Availability

Product Configurator is available now on Microsoft Marketplace as a subscription add-on for Dynamics 365 Business Central, licensed per company with no per-user limits. It works with Business Central Essentials licensing for assembly-based configurations and with Business Central's manufacturing capabilities for production BOMs and routings.

Your warehouse team creates carrier labels in one system, then re-enters customs data in another, and packing information in a third. Manual data entry across multiple platforms introduces errors, delays customs clearance, and keeps your team switching between systems instead of staying in Business Central where the order lives.
