# Business Central with Insight Works, on the warehouse floor and the shop floor

> If your warehouse still types what it picked into Business Central, or production time sits on a clipboard until somebody keys it in, the ERP is a step behind the floor and every inventory report is argued over. We implement Business Central with the Insight Works apps that close that gap. Pickers scan with handhelds, a mixed pallet becomes one scan, and the work centre captures time by barcode, so the scan and the posting are the same event and your reports read what actually happened. We're an Insight Works partner and a Microsoft Solutions Partner. Cyclic Materials engaged us for on-site Business Central and Insight Works support at their Mesa, Arizona facility, and we work on the floor across the Phoenix metro.

Handheld scanning, production time capture and shipping, on the ERP record.

## What we implement

- **Warehouse Insight**: Handheld picking, put-away, movements and counts against Business Central's own warehouse documents, so the scan on the floor and the posting in the ledger are the same event.
- **Shop Floor Insight**: Production time and quantities captured by barcode at the work centre instead of on a clipboard, with the output posted to the production order it belongs to.
- **License Plating**: A pallet of mixed items becomes one identifier and one scan. We built this by hand for Funko before Insight Works sold it as an app, which is why we know where it bites.
- **Dynamic Ship**: Carrier rates, labels and tracking from inside the sales order, so shipping stops being a second system somebody re-keys into.

Sectors: Manufacturing, Warehouse, Distribution, Recycling

## What we build

- Business Central and the Insight Works apps implemented by one team, so nobody argues about whose configuration is wrong
- Warehouse and production transactions supported on site in the Phoenix metro, from an office twenty minutes away
- NAV estates moved to Business Central with the floor customisations replaced by apps rather than rewritten
- Handheld paths tested by the people who will scan with them, before go-live and again after
- Power BI on the posted record, so the throughput number is the ERP's number

## Questions

### Is TechFabric an Insight Works partner?

Yes. TechFabric is an Insight Works partner and a Microsoft Solutions Partner with designations in Data & AI, Digital & App Innovation, and Infrastructure. We implement Warehouse Insight, Shop Floor Insight, License Plating and Dynamic Ship on Dynamics 365 Business Central, and we support the warehouse and production transactions that run through them.

### Which Insight Works apps do you implement?

Warehouse Insight for handheld picking, put-away, movements and counts. Shop Floor Insight for production time and quantities captured by barcode. License Plating for mixed pallets under one scan. Dynamic Ship for carrier rates, labels and tracking from the order. Advanced Inventory Count, Quality Inspector, Graphical Scheduler and MxAPS where the process calls for them.

### Do you support Business Central and Insight Works on site in Arizona?

Yes. The office is at 1530 E Williams Field Rd, Ste 201, Gilbert, AZ 85295, which borders Mesa and is twenty minutes from Tempe and Chandler. Cyclic Materials engaged us for on-site support of warehousing and production transactions at their Mesa facility after finding this site in August 2026. Outside Arizona the support is remote, at the same standard.

### We're on Dynamics NAV. What does moving to Business Central involve?

Extended support for NAV 2018 ends on 12 January 2028. The work is deciding what happens to each customised object, migrating and reconciling the data in rehearsals, and a cutover weekend with a rollback. Where the customisations are on the warehouse floor, Insight Works apps usually replace them for less than a rewrite. The full shape is in the article linked on this page.

### Does Insight Works work with Dynamics NAV?

Their current catalogue is built for Dynamics 365 Business Central, and that is what we implement. If you're still on NAV, the honest sequence is the move to Business Central first, with the apps chosen as part of that plan rather than bolted on afterwards.

### How do we get started?

A two-to-three-week assessment of the estate, ending in a written recommendation you can act on. If production is already running and the problem is today's transactions, we will start with the support and do the assessment alongside it.
