In 2026, warehouse operations demand speed, accuracy, and real-time visibility more than ever. For businesses running Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, finding the right WMS for BC can transform chaotic picking, receiving, and counting into streamlined, error-free processes.
After analyzing feedback from hundreds of warehouse managers, inventory teams, and supply chain professionals, one clear picture emerges: the most requested capabilities center on mobile device barcode scanning, instant inventory adjustments, efficient put-away, and receiving label generation on receipt, all executed directly from handheld scanners.
Warehouse Insight from Insight Works delivers exactly that and more as a native, fully integrated WMS for Business Central. Built exclusively for Dynamics 365 BC (cloud and on-prem), it empowers teams using Android-based mobile devices to handle core warehouse tasks in real time without clunky third-party integrations or external databases.
What Warehouse Teams Actually Need: Top Requirements Ranked by Demand
We surveyed and prioritized features based on real customer input (higher numbers mean more teams demanding this capability). Here is how Warehouse Insight addresses the top-voted needs:
1. Supports Mobile Device Barcode Scanning (201 teams)
The foundation of any modern WMS for BC. Warehouse Insight connects seamlessly to industry-standard Android scanners (Honeywell, Zebra, Datalogic, and more) via Data Intents for instant, accurate scans. Scan 1D or 2D barcodes, including dense Data Matrix codes that hold item lot, serial, expiry, and quantity for receiving, picking, counting, and movements.
2. Inventory Adjustments (Write Off or On) Using a Mobile Device (197 teams)
Fix discrepancies on the spot. Use the Inventory Quantity Adjustment add-on or the Item Inquiry app to post positive or negative adjustments via item journals directly from the handheld. No need to return to a desktop post in real time and see updates in Business Central instantly.
3. Putting Items Away Using a Mobile Device (197 teams)
Directed and ad hoc put-away flows guide workers to the right bin. Scan license plates, pallets, or items to confirm locations and update bin contents live, reducing misplaced stock and speeding restocking.
4. Generate Labels Upon Receipt (193 teams)
Print item bin or pallet labels right at the receiving dock. Warehouse Insights’ built-in barcode generator creates labels on demand, supporting your preferred symbology and printer setup.
5. Receiving Using a Mobile Device (193 teams)
Process purchase orders, transfers, or production receipts by scanning items into staging areas or directly into put-away. Cross-reference vendor barcodes, capture lot serial details, and view item pictures to verify quality, all without paper.
6. Counting Items Using a Mobile Device (190 teams)
Run Basic or Advanced Inventory Counts with either a cycle or a full physical. Scan bin item, enter quantity (or use recount sheets for discrepancies). The system handles lot serial tracking and provides audit trails for compliance.
7. View Assigned Warehouse Tasks from a Mobile Device (185 teams)
See your directed picks’ put-away movements or counts queued on the handheld. No more hunting for printouts, everything syncs in real time from Business Central.
8. Moving Items Using a Mobile Device (183 teams)
Perform ad hoc bin-to-bin moves or follow directed warehouse movements. Replenish pick faces from bulk storage quickly and accurately.
9. Viewing Contents of a Pallet or License Plate (181 teams)
The License Plating module lets you build a track and inquire about pallet or box contents. View what is inside any license plate from the device, perfect for outbound palletizing or inbound verification.
10. Viewing Item or Bin Location and Contents (179 teams)
Instant Item Inquiry and Bin Inquiry show the current stock location, lot, serial details, pictures, and recent transactions. Drill down without leaving the floor.
These top 10 requirements (all scoring 179 or higher in customer feedback) represent the daily pain points Warehouse Insight solves natively, with no add-ons required for the basics; extensibility via App Designer lets you customize further.
